"Tom Reamy - That Detweiler Boy" - читать интересную книгу автора (Reamy Tom)

"Just a minute till my ear stops ringing," the husky voice tickled my ear.

"What are you doing up this early?" I asked. Janice Fenwick was an exotic
dancer at a club on the Strip nights and was working on her master's in
oceanography at UCLA in the afternoons. In the year I'd known her I'd seldom
seen her stick her nose into the sunlight before eleven.

"I had to catch you before you started following that tiresome woman with the
car."

"I've finished that. She's picked up her last parking-lot attendantтАФat least
with this husband." I chuckled.

"I'm glad to hear it."

"What's up?"

"I haven't had an indecent proposition from you in days. So I thought I'd make
own of my own."

"I'm all ears."

"We're doing some diving off Catalina tomorrow. Want to come along?"

"Not much we can do in a wetsuit."

"The wetsuit comes off about four; then we'll have Saturday night and all of
Sunday."

"Best indecent proposition I've had all week."

Miss Tremaine humphed. It might have been over something in the report, but I
don't think it was.

I picked up Janice at her apartment in Westwood early Saturday morning. She
was waiting for me and came striding out to the car all legs and healthy
golden flesh. She was wearing white shorts, sneakers, and that damned Dallas
Cowboys jersey. It was authentic. The name and number on it were quite
well-knownтАФeven to nonтАУfootball fans. She wouldn't tell me how she got it,
just smirked and looked smug. She tossed her suitcase in the backseat and slid
up against me. She smelled like sunshine.

We flew over and spent most of the day glubbing around in the Pacific with a
bunch of kids fifteen years younger than I and five years younger than Janice.
I'd been on these jaunts with Janice before and enjoyed them so much I'd
bought my own wetsuit. But I didn't enjoy it nearly as much as I did Saturday
night and all of Sunday.
I got back to my apartment on Beachwood fairly late Sunday night and barely
had time to get something to eat at the Mexican restaurant around the corner
