We finished our lunches. June came back to give us our check a few minutes later. The bill was $10.65. “Let’s make sure we tip her well,” I said.
“I think we can do better than that,” Kelly said.
“We should use your power to help her,” she told me.
“How would you like me to do that?” I questioned her. “I don’t really think we should be messing around with time or history.”
She nodded her head. “Yea, I agree with you. But surely there’s some way we can make her life better. Money, a good place to live, able to go to school, something.”
Something else was brewing in my mind, though. I did think that June was pretty good looking. Maybe I could turn this into personal pleasure. But I still wanted to be with Kelly more than anything. I wished I knew what her feelings were about me.
“Joe, you know that I’ve always found you to be pretty cute?” she said.
Still thinking, I said, “Huh?”
“I think you’re cute,” she repeated. “Just a little shy. But I’m definitely interested in you.”
I didn’t know what to say. It seemed that I let my thoughts get the best of me again. She was still looking at me, waiting for a reply. Apparently she had no idea I had wished for her to tell me that.
“I’ve gotta confess,” I told her. “I’ve had a crush on you for a really long time. I think you’re incredibly beautiful. I definitely want to be with you.”
She leaned over in her stool and kissed me on the lips. I felt like my lips were on fire. I knew know that she was everything I could have ever wanted. Our lips parted and she said, “So what are we going to do about June?”
Now I had another idea. I definitely wanted to help June. But I figured there would be no harm in finding out if she wanted to spend some time with us. My mind smiled, telling me what silent wish to make next. I wished that Kelly would tell me what her sexual preferences were, but that she wouldn’t know she was telling me other than to just tell me.
“You know, Joe,” she cooed. “I’m very open sexually. I mean, I’ve never done anything wild, but I would be willing to try a lot.” She leaned into my ear and whispered, “That includes three-ways.”
I was amazed. That was exactly what I wanted to hear. And again, I didn’t have to wish for her to have those preferences. “Do you want to do something with June?” I asked.
“She’s pretty. And I do want to help her. So, definitely,” she said.
June walked back in front of us, ready to take our money. I handed her $20.
“Be right back with the change,” she said.
“You keep the change,” I said.
A big smile appeared on her face and she said, “Well thank you very much.”
“Kelly and I were actually wondering if you’d like to go do something with us tonight,” I told her. “We still feel really bad about upsetting you before.”
She looked surprised, but said, “Well, sure. I get off in a few minutes. Why don’t you just wait for me, come over to my place so I can clean up and change, and then we’ll go somewhere.”
“Does that sound good?” I asked Kelly.
Kelly said, “That sounds great.”
“OK,” June said. “Just give me a few minutes.”
