“Not much to know… I don’t really have friends, not close ones, I like listening to music, and reading…”He listened intently as if my words ...were fascinating to him. Then he pulled out a second glass. “Would you like some wine?”“Oh I’m not— I’m not old enough,” I said, I felt dumb because that was obvious and he lifted an eyebrow as if to say the same. “But,” I said, “I had a sip of my mom’s martini”He smiled at that and began pouring me a glass. “Oh that Harlene. She’s nothing but. I did my make-up so perfect you would never tell i was a man without grabbing My crotch. So After i got all done up, i went for a walk, just to enjoy the air and feel sexy but the night had more to it that! I was walking in a kinda ghetto part of town when i walked past 2 black guys sitting on their stoop. I could see them checking me out as i approached, and when i was passing them bye one of em shouted "hey sexy!" I stopped and returned a "hey" in my most girly tone. The other then said. “Joe, can you come in here and help me get these panties off?” called Samantha sweetly from bedroom. Joe avoided Ed’s glare and headed down the hall. “You can’t be serious!” gasped Ed in shock as Joe hurried to heed Samantha’s call. “Well, she needs some help I guess,” chirped Joe over his shoulder as he hastily entered the bedroom and closed the door behind him. Ed slapped his hand to his forehead in exasperation and rushed down the hall to intervene, but the bedroom door was already locked.. So he does slowly and purposefully."You need to check your temper Alexandra. I won't stand for it."He scolds me like I'm a schoolgirl. It really does nothing butinflame me internally.Again he indicates the empty chair opposite him. And the implicationis that nothing will proceed till I occupy it. So I begrudgingly takethe seat.He pauses till he's sure I'm settled, still, and fully attentive,then he speaks."She is exactly where she wants to be. Back in her old life." What?" I say. Not that I.
