Late that evening I showered and went about my evening without bothering to get dressed. I could see on my TV that Shela was outside, shit, she had ev...en brought a small ladder the look over the fence. At about ten o’clock, I did something I’ve never done before and will probably never do again, I shaved in front of the window. No, I don’t mean my face, I shaved every hair from around my pubic area. I don’t have a clue why I thought to do this, and I’ll probably regret it in a few days but it. He went over to the bar and talked to three black men, gesturing and looking in our direction. Amie got to our table and said we were going back to the hotel room. I gulped the beer I was working on and then Dwayne walks over with his three friends and places his arm around Amie. She snuggled up to him and looks me in the eye and says, "Dwayne's friends are coming with us, I didn't think you would mind." I kind of stammered, "I, I, I thought there would be just Dwayne." She just spoke to me. She would have lost her virginity years ago if any of the man she knew had been weak enough. Just her luck to be surrounded by upstanding and boring citizens.Because she was so precocious she had been overindulged. JoJo was spoiled rotten. To confuse things further the death of everyone near her had been devastating. Since then she had been very lonely making this even worse.Now she finds out there IS a man and once again she is told no. She was never one to accept the "no" word. No was for. “Yes, I must look nice at my mum’s funeral.”That was said in a clear, happy voice of a six-year old girl. Like it was something that could happen every day. I saw how the look on the face of the saleswoman changed from surprised to shocked and without any warning she ran away from us. I got a feeling that this shopping trip wasn’t going to be as easy as I had thought. We got Oona her dress, but I wouldn’t call our trip a real success. My initial reaction in that shop had been that we should get.
