this is Lois my date tonight.”
Tonight? And why the hell am I Lois now and not your Sweet Peaches?
“Nice to meet you.” Lois didn’t extend her hand and she knew instantly that this was what jealousy felt like.
Wow! What makes me even begin to fathom that I have the right to feel like this now? I don’t know if I like the way this guy can make me feel like I am the most beautiful woman in the world, then in the next second, want to tear apart some complete and total whore. I mean look at her. If looks could kill I would be dead. That’s right. It’s me on his arm. Not you. Sucks don’t it.
Tom could feel Lois’s tension gripping her hand tighter he led her away from the cause. “Mother.” He kissed her cheek, and hugged her briefly, not letting loose of Lois.
“Lois, I am so glad you could make it. Have you thought about a number?” Clara smiled at Lois.
“It’s a pleasure to be here. And no, numbers have been the last thing on my mind.” Clara kissed each of Lois’s cheeks. Lois was beginning to feel like she was in a movie.
Tom escorted his mother and Lois to their table and seated them both. “I’ll be right back.” He’s leaving. Where is he going? Lois watched as he walked away.
“Lois, you look lovely. Can’t wait to meet those babies.” Clara winked then continued. “I want you to meet Senator Adams.” Clara politely introduced Lois. Clara quietly whispered to Lois, “His hands have the tendency to be as crooked as he is in politics.” Then she respectfully went on. “This is Suzanne Adams, the Senator’s lovely wife.”
“Pleasure to meet you Ma’am.”
“Here, have some champagne. It will help. It always helps me through these things.” Goosebumps suddenly appeared on Lois when she felt his breath on her ear. Reaction caused her body to twitch and stir deep within.
“Are you ok dear, you look flushed?” Lois smiled at Clara not being able to answer her verbally.
“I seem to have that effect on you don’t I?” Tom whispered those words quietly while he softly blew his breath against her ear.
“I’m ok really, just a little out of place I think.” Lois lied. How could she tell him that he made her so damn horny she wanted him right then and there?
“You’re not. Trust me. Everyone else is out of place.”

Lois was astonished at the dinner she was attending. She watched as Clara took her place at the podium feeling a bit of excitement of the unknown.
“Ladies and Gentleman. I would like to welcome you to We Can Win 2012. As you all know, the economy has not been good to some of our neighbors. Let us all take this time to be grateful for the things that we have, never taking them for granted. Let the festivities begin.”
“Welp, here we go. Hope you have your dancing shoes on.” Tom reached out and grabbed Lois’s hand and began leading her out on the dance floor. I don’t understand. I can’t dance.
“Tom, I can’t dance like this. I don’t do, ball room?”
“Yes you can, look at me, feel what I am doing and follow.” All Lois could do was take a deep breath as he began leading her around the dance floor not giving her body time to resist. Not that her body would have! That deep breath that inhaled his sexy scent only made her body respond to him as her mind went fuzzy.
“See it’s not that bad. Enjoying the ride yet?” Oh I would like to enjoy the ride alright. Lois wanted to say it, but simply beamed instead. When the music ended they took their seats.
“Ok, so that was the warm up. Next they will begin calling us out one by one. This is the part I don’t necessarily care for but it’s for a good cause. Remind me
