I'll let you know." Sounds great Jan, I'll see if I can get time off from work." Well Jane, if you come along with me will it be as Jane or Jay?" As J...ay, certainly. What do you think I am?" "I know what you are Janey darling - my own little transvestite. OhJaney, my baby is so cute in her maid's dress. We have such cutepictures of us don't we?" Uh hum."A few days later I arrived home and found a note from my wifetelling me she had gotten a call and flown to Hollywood onregrettably short notice. " Are you in it?" I'm not blowsy enough for American taste, Sarah. They like tits and ass." Just a second." Sarah held her finger over the bottom of her phone. "Sophie, when were you going to tell me about the lingerie show?" I..." Sophie stuttered. "Simon wanted it exclusive to Paris but Frederick, Roger and I guess I convinced him otherwise. We had quite an effort shoehorning it into the week. We wanted the push on American soil." Grrr," Sarah grumbled."I'll accompany you," Melissa. None of the details discouraged Mitchell at all. "Just do it," he said.Where had I heard that before?I invited Amy to come with me to visit Samantha at the Warehouse. "Wait a minute," she said. "What about Shiggie?"Oh, yeah. Stupid of me to have forgotten. It wasn't going to work to pull this without Shiggie's knowledge and cooperation. First things first."It's up to you, Kid," I told Amy.

She smiled, touched my cheek, and went inside.I guess I had a girlfriend again.I still had a month to go before I headed off to college. I called her on the Monday after our makeup date, as I now thought of it. We made dates for the following Friday and Saturday nights. I was looking forward to hitting a homerun on both of them. Now, that I gotten to third base, I figured it was a done deal. Well, hope springs eternal.Friday came slow, but it did come, and I.
