I think I fell in love with you the first day that I saw you moving in next door.”She blushed and said, “If only I had known I wouldn’t have wai...ed this long to ask you. Well are you going to take me upstairs or not?”I smiled and sipped my tea. It was still too hot to drink and I was in no hurry. I knew that Stacey had given this a lot of thought already so I figured that I could entertain a few thoughts too.So I asked, “Are you in some kind of a hurry like your daughter was?”Stacey replied,. "I take it my patronage is not welcome here," he said.The receptionist looked in two minds, but was still fast enough to snatch the notes from the counter before his slowly descending hand reached them."Your money's as good as anyone else's," she said.Abraham smiled. Nothing greedier than a greedy whore."That's a better attitude," he said. "So what charming ladies do you have available for my entertainment on this lovely afternoon?"He held up a wagging finger."Don't forget. Thousands of punters. "What the fuck!! That's an incredibly offensive thing to ask, don't you think?" she scolded me, her tone rising in anger."You did say you'd do anything." I replied nonchalantly, my eyebrows cocked up in curiosity, "What did you think I was going to ask for? A raise?" YES!!" Kristen retorted "Or extra days off...or, or, or...or no more early morning shifts....or some shit like that!!" "I've only been here less than six months!" I replied defensively. "How the hell would you rationalize to Mike. You'd have put him in his place, and you'd have never let Al Crossman call your shots." You think I'm weak, do you?" No," Frank insisted. "You need to know that if you stay strong, you won't be sorry. You keep punchin' for us and we'll do the same for you." Is that what you talked about at the golf course with Hart and Smith?" Alvin asked. "I've got my sources, too, so don't deny it. Was it that, or planning a little revolt?" It was the first, Alvin; we discussed that, my duck-hook and how much.
