“You know your mom won’t let you save it and have it framed,” I teased.“I don’t need to keep the towel,” Katie said with a smile. “I’l... always remember tonight, my first time and making love with you.”“Same here,” I answered, kissing my naked girlfriend as she lay in my arms. “It’s still early. Do you want to do it again?”“All you have to do is ask,” she giggled, “and if you don’t ask, I will.”I glanced at the clock on Katie’s bedside table. It was only ten o’clock, so we had plenty of time. Guy knows people, we could ask him." I don't know if I can..." I sounded pathetic even to myself. Maxie was right, I was going to have to actually deal with this. Or I could keep having twisted dreams for the rest of my life. It was an easy choice."Look get some sleep Jes. I'll see you in the morning."I dreamt of bricks. The wall between my room and Maxie's room was made of bricks. I scratched at the mortar between two bricks, granules of beige sand covering my bed. The brick came away, another. The ball hit the rim, went flying up in the air, and then fell in with a little swoosh."I always said you could make that shot 19 times out of 20."I turned to Thuy with a big grin. She stood not three feet from me in low jeans and a white top, with her trademark hair that cascaded to the middle of her back. The corner of her mouth was turned up in that little smile she had been showing me since she was six."Hey, you," I replied. "20 out of 20 would have been better."Thuy sank cross-legged on. That was the moment i was waiting for. I said yes immediately but tried to hide my happiness. We went to our respective homes. I bathed, waxed shaved and shampooed.I put on my red lingerie and a backless red top which was a bit too tight for me. It showed off my boobs. He had come with his rickshaw to pick me at my place. I got in and we quietly reached his house at 11. He lived alone, in a slum area. His house smelled off alcohol and filth. He told me to wait while he’d go and buy cigarettes..
