"I'm Lisa, and this is Bethany."Rick took Lisa's hand and shook it. I offered my hand, my french-tippednails trembling slightly, and Rick took it and... gently shook it as well. "Carrie's told me a lot about you two," he told us."She's told us a lot about you," Lisa said.We slid into the booth across from them. I hurriedly picked up my menuand tried to study it. "I'm so glad you came," Carrie told us."Can I get you ladies something to drink?" the waiter asked."Could I please have some iced. Je voudrai du pain, s’il vous plaît?”“Oui, Mademoiselle.”I just stared at Joanne and Xan as they conducted the transaction for a loaf of bread. Joanne was keeping her bargain with Xan to teach her French in exchange for lessons in sign language. Hands were moving at the same time as their mouths. It was more than I’d heard Xan say aloud in a long time.“Are you off?” I asked Joanne.“Yes. I’m headed for Paris for two weeks and I have to stop in New York on the way back. Conrad is putting together. This smell, combined with the strong scent of old leather from his outfit, made all my senses tingle.Ten minutes later and with sodden underpants, we were enjoying our dinner.From our conversations up to that point, I knew that Wouter had three men who worked for him. Two of the guys, Helmut and Sven, were and of similar age to Wouter and were buddies from his youth. They were both married and each had two kids. The third guy was a twenty-two-year-old youngster named Heinrich, who was the son. One school friend said Jane was sex mad, 'It's all she talked about, and when the rumors started spreading about some of her scenes with the Chinese actor Tony Leung, we all knew that there was a better than 80% chance they were true'.One girl who knew Jane better than most, said Jane admitted to having an orgasm, during the sex scene, only the cameraman and the film director knew the truth, the cameraman said Tony got up and made for the bathroom, looking sheepish, Jane just swung her legs.
