PERFECT
Remember Steve? You loved him. You loved how he smiled and sat across from
you at this very
table. Do you know that Steve laughs at you? laughs
that you drive a bus? I heard him laugh one
night about the white trash school bus driver.. and I even laughed.
Do you know he spent the
night? I was in bed and he knocked on my window.. I knew you were upstairs.
Yeah I thought
about waking you but, cmon what would I have said? Could you imagine, me
sitting on your
comforter naked, his beer on my breath, asking you Is this the right time to do
it? Yeah what
would you have told me?
So, Mother, it just kind of happened. He was so into it and I dont think he heard
me : I said no,
but he said it was all right, so I guess it was okay, but.. it hurt and I asked him to
stop but he looked
at me really like intensely si nu i-am putut rezista and after a while he put his
clothes on and leftciudat andte gandesti ca poate si-a batut joc de tine
I mean it cant be, Mom, if hes my boyfriend, and we love each other, I mean
its not like he
can If hes my boyfriend.. I mean its not his fault if I let him in the window
and well, you could
have heard him? Maybe you did, but you didnt want to bother me wanted to
give me my
space. You are always good about that, Mom
It was fine next time it will be better. I know that. Youve gotta experience
these things to know.
Yeah
