Greg.
    “ There’s your cake,” said
Sandy. “Make a wish.”
    “ I wish we could just get
out of here.”
    “ Oops, wrong
wish.”
    A young woman jumped up from inside the cake
and it fell apart. Even in the dim light, Greg could see that her
breasts were enormous.
    Before he could react, she sat down in his
lap, facing him.
    He couldn’t get up, and didn’t know what to
do.
    She reached to the center of her chest and
unhooked her spring-loaded bikini top and it flew off and hit Sandy
in the face.
    Sandy caught it and held it there for a
moment to take a deep whiff. “Yee-ha!”
    Greg’s zipper felt like it was about to rip
open.
    The woman felt his excitement and rubbed her
crotch against it. Then she grabbed his head in both hands and
pulled it in between her huge breasts and held it there.
    For the first time in his life, Greg feared
he had high blood pressure. He would surely die right here in this
woman’s arms, he thought. No, no, no!
    He grabbed her by the shoulders and pushed
her away as he stood up.
    She fell on the floor. “Hey—no rough stuff,
Dude.”
    “ I’m sorry.” Greg helped her
to her feet.
    She moved in close and tried to rub up
against him again, apparently thinking everything Greg had said and
done was just an act.
    “ No, thanks.” He held out
his hand to stop her and accidentally made contact with a breast.
“I’m sorry. I didn’t realize what my friend was getting me into. It’s
nothing against you. You’re beautiful and sexy, but—I’m
sorry.”
    Sandy was laughing his head off.

    Cynthia had taken her mother out for dinner
and a movie.
    “ So, what did you think of
the movie, Mom?”
    “ Things would have gone a
lot better for that woman if she had married the right man in
the first place.”
    “ Yeah.”
    “ She knew that workaholic
businessman didn’t want kids. He told her so. But I guess she
figured he’d change his mind.”
    “ Yeah. But he
didn’t.”
    “ What about you and Greg?
Are you both sure you really want to have children?”
    “ Yes, Mom. We’ve talked
about it a lot. And we’re glad that neither of us had any kids
already so we can have them together. We’re very excited about
it.”
    “ Even at your age ?”
    “ I’m only 30. And Greg’s
just 35. That’s not too old. It’s not like when you were young, Mom. A lot of
couples wait longer now.”
    “ Okay. Good. Because I
really do want grandkids.”
    “ Then why are you trying to
talk me out of it , you silly woman?”
    They laughed.
    “ I just wanted to know if I
could count on it.”
    “ You can count on it.
Okay?”
    “ Great. When?”
    Cynthia shot her an evil eye. “I’ll get back
to you on that.”
    When they pulled into the driveway, Cynthia
noticed a package sitting at the front door. After she had parked
the car and they had gone inside, she went to the front porch,
picked up the package, and carried it into the living room.
    “ What is it?” said
Beverly.
    “ I don’t know.”
    “ Who’s it from?”
    “ Oh—it’s from my
Honey.”
    Cynthia tore open the box and found a fancy
jewelry box inside. She opened it and was amazed at what she saw.
It was a beautiful heart-shaped diamond necklace. “Oh, Greg.”
    “ Let me see,” said
Beverly.
    Beverly took the box and studied the
necklace. “If these are real diamonds, this thing must have cost
him a fortune.”
    “ Oh, here’s a
note.”
    My dearest
Cindy ,
    “ Cindy? That’s weird—he
never calls me Cindy. In fact, nobody does.”
    When I saw this dazzling
necklace I thought of you and the love we share and I just had to
buy it for you. It doesn’t compare to your beauty, but it’s the
most I could afford .
    “ How sweet,” said
Beverly.
    “ Yeah. What can I say? The
man’s crazy about me.” Cynthia grinned.
    When I think about all the fun we’ve had
together and all the great times in the—
    “ Go on,” said Beverly. “In
the what?”
    Cynthia quit reading aloud and began
