I stood there transfixed, as her heavy bosom swayed over the sheets. She looked up at me and I barely managed to stammer "The… the pills… for… f...or your… headache…" before I stepped back into the hallway and went to the bathroom where Sarah was brushing her teeth. I could feel how red I was in the face as I told her what had happened. She just laughed, as did Sasha, Bill and Ben when Sarah brought it up at dinner the next night. I could feel my face blushing again with embarrassment, but they. I said to myself, ’I need cock. I just need cock. I will be okay. Alberto will find me cock.’I got on my cell phone. He answered. I did not want him to know that I had been fired from my job. I knew he would delight in the news of my misfortune. That only left more of my time to be devoted him and his evil plans for me. I tried to bargain with the devil.’Alberto, papi,’ I said.’Yes, Isabel. How is my puta today. You feel better?’’Oh papi, it is sweet of you to ask. Thank you for your concern..

I even had several black blotches on my T-shirt where her face touched it as she cried. I took a tissue from her table and started to clean her up. This seemed to work and a small smile came to her face and she mouthed, "thank you," to me.Rebecca then went about cleaning off what was left of her makeup and reapplying it. She wore as much makeup as Mom would let her, which was pretty much anything, as long as she looked like a proper lady and not some street walker, as my Mom would say. I have.
