CHAPTER EIGHT
Sean realized that Abigale had barely acknowledged his presence in the room. Most afternoons when he returned from the field, she would meet him by the door or outside and ask how the day went.

Josh timidly came forward and pushed his hands in the bowl. ‘Suz, don’t you want any?’ Sean asked.

‘Josh, put the plums away before it spoil your appetite. Dinner is ready,’ Abigale snapped.
Walking towards her, Sean said, ‘Let me help you with that.’ He went to the sink and grabbed a few plates for her to dish out the one-pot stew. ‘It smells and looks really good, Abby.’
She ignored his comment as she rummaged in one of the basins for a few spoons. Sean realized

Sean woke up in the middle of the night with a raging hard-on. ‘Oh man, not tonight,’ he muttered, pushing his pecker down between his legs. After the mood Abby was in, he did not want to trouble her. Nor did he want her to see him in this state. He would not get any from her anyways, he was certain of it. Why bother when he knew what her response would be. But he was horny. He twisted the covers between his feet trying to get a comfortable position, careful not to touch her. He laid still for a while, weighing his options. Cursing silently he got up. As soon as his feet hit the floor, Abigale voice stopped him.‘Where a

She watched as her uncle bite into a big slice, the juice from the fruit running down his beard. His beard and whiskers were well trimmed, running straight on both sides of his face. Ignoring the liquid on his face, he asked between bites. ‘Where is, ya brother?’‘He is still asleep, uncle.’ Suzie replied. Uncle Tomas then glanced at Pa who was still leaning on the window sill facing outdoors, and addressed him.

Sean was angry. He tried to engage in light conversation, but his demeanor felt otherwise. How dare he, he seethed. Cramming a spoonful of egg in his mouth, he glared thunderously at Tomas over his tea. It has been three months. Three, long drawn out months and then he waltzed in here as if he owned the place. Laughing and chatting, as if nothing was amiss.He looked int

Getting up abruptly from the coconut stump, Sean started pacing.‘Great, just bloody great! What am I to do with two hundred dollars?’ Sean shouted. Tomas glanced guiltily towards the house and mouthed. ‘Keep ya voice down. I duh want Abigale to overhear our conversation.’Ignoring his comment, Sean continued on his rampage. ‘I gave you five hundred dollars, Tomas. You screwed up big time! I

Sean stared morosely at his friend for a long moment then thought what the hell. Maybe he should tell him the whole sordid story. But what would he accomplish by having Richard involved in his mess? He knew that once he said it that Richard would make it his business. Nah, he could not do this to him so he plastered a smile on his face and said, ‘We got into a fight. No blows were dealt,’ he chuckled. ‘It was a misunderstanding. He will be back after he cools off.’‘Well, well this must be a first.’ Slapping Sean on the shoulder, Richard said, ‘Come on lazy bones. Let us try and complete this before nightfall.’

Locating her bag, Suzie removed the arithmetic textbook, along with some scrap paper and pencil to do some practice questions. After about an hour, she felt a headache coming on. Massaging her temple, she placed the textbook aside. Mathematics had never been one of her strong points. She needed some help. She could ask Pa to assist her, he was good with numbers, but he was not a patient teacher. Suzie would prefer someone who could break down the sums to her step by step, so she could fully understand. Jerald was her next option. He was Mr. Richie’s only son, and Suzie heard that he was a Maths genius. She would need to ask Pa’s permission first, though. Her father would not approve of her going to spend time at Jerald's

She was growing quickly and Abigale did not want people to say, in particular the womenfolk, that her only girl was lacking in housekeeping skills when the time came for her to settle down.At twelve and a half years old, Suzie’s body was gently filling out. Her breasts were growing, bigger than most girls her age. Her hips were slowly widening. She had inherited her father’s looks, mingled with a dash of hers. Suzie had taken her hair; it was long and soft to the touch. Abigale was glad for this blessing. Although she was a bit chubby, her Suzie was pretty. She
