The night it happened started at two in the afternoon. It was a gorgeous summer day and I was lying on the patio in a bikini working on a tan when Car...line came over with a pitcher of margaritas. We lounged in the sun and then drank until around four and then went into the kitchen and made another pitcher of margaritas and then sat at the kitchen table and talked. Mostly I listened as Caroline told me about the two guys she had gone to a motel with and described in detail what they had done.. ”Juan said, “What’d I’d like is to see her happy again. I met and fell in love with her when she behaved as she had most of her adult life. Then she changed and became devoted and chaste wife. I urged her to back up slightly. Now, she’s involved with you again Bill, and she had a beautiful lovemaking session with Owen Bennett yesterday. I think we’re headed in the right direction, but I want to see her happy with the shift back the way she came without her being unhappy about it.”The group. And I love sleeping with you and I'm much too ladylike to go slipping around hotel corridors." What about, you know, the boy-toy thing?" I asked."Madeleine has boy-toys; I have a lover. Hers can't sing their way out of paper bags; I have one of the great baritones of the world, even though the world doesn't quite know it yet—but they will! If she's not ashamed of hers she ought to be; I'm proud as hell of mine!" She jumped in my lap and gave me a huge kiss. Then she burst out laughing all over. I walked a couple of blocks where the sidewalk was dimly lite. I was about to cross the street when I heard someone shouting. Hello there, I see youre all alone and its not a safe neighborhood. I turned seeing a black man, either in his late teens or early twenties walking toward me. He was bare chested, wearing tight jean shorts and sandals. You are right it is kind of scary. The black muscular tall guy had caught up to me and standing beside me. Are you offering to walk me home? I asked. Yes.
