But he backed away, so I went straight for Eden and Emma, grabbing their hands and rather violently jerking them off the couch and pulling them away. ...What are you girls thinking?" I hissed. "You do NOT let in a stranger!" But he's not a stranger," Eden protested."Had you ever MET him before? How do you know he's who he says he is? He could be ANYBODY!"Emma blanched, but Eden insisted, "We're big girls, now! We can take care of ourselves!" CLEARLY, you CAN'T!!!" I thundered, perhaps gripping. I barely even joined the conversation because they were so fast going back and forth with their witty one-liners and banter. It was fun to watch and I was used to it, so I didn't think twice about it. I was glad they were getting along, because Mary came over almost every day.Sometimes Mary would even come over when I wasn't at the apartment, just to hang out with my roommates. I thought this was weird at first, but I mean they were all friends so I wasn't going to stop them from hanging out. " Krissi, that's fiction." Bull. It might say 'fiction' on the cover, but I write it that way because that's what happens in real life." But my past--" Is past. Look, kid, there's a reason they say a couple starts on a new life together when they get married. A lot of gals don't focus on that. They're stuck on 'being married', and treat it as an extension of their life, sort of 'Do I have a husband? Check'. The trouble comes when the guy doesn't meekly conform as just being an adjunct to her. All of you should try it."And so they did, all but Jose, who lurks in by the drawn curtain, countingHector's soldiers as they one by one, attacked me. Some of them enter fora few strokes and leave quickly. A few fuck me until they come and thenstagger off to rejoin, and regale their comrades in the living room. Thenine year old lookout who called himself Sonic can't get a hard-on, so Isuck his childlike penis and hairless balls futilely, until he getsembarrassed, slaps my face and leaves. Only.
