Oops, let me qualify that by saying that I'm not cut out to be any 'guy's' girlfriend..." The answer to your problem is simple," Gabriella said as she...reached over and compassionately enfolded Karen's hands in hers. "You just need to be honest and up front with him. You tell him that while you value his friendship, you're not looking to hook up with a boyfriend right now. You tell him that you've got a baby to think about and that the last thing you need right now is a boyfriend..."You just. Now try toget your butt up higher, please." Ha? How... what do you want me to do?" You know, Patricia, up in the air! I need it to be higher and stickingout so that I can access the folds under your cheeks. C'mon. Pull yourknees forward."I moved around a bit, still unsure of what Jeri wanted."Please, Patricia!" Jeri said, exasperated. "Just pretend that you'reoffering your ass to a big, handsome guy. Surely you fantasize aboutthat?" No, I don't," I replied, miffed, although now I understood. My parents always go to one of the big Halloween parties in town and now that I was 18 there was no problem for me to go to one of them too. Megan had gotten herself grounded for the week of Halloween so she would not be going to any parties that night. Instead she would be staying home and watching the usual horror movies that they show on television around this time of the year.Our parents left around 7pm in their outfits for the night and I left dressed up in mine to. Megan looked really. Damn sure," I said without hesitation."Really! Are you absolutely sure?" she challenged me."Look ... what's the big deal. You're a beautiful woman, and he's interested in you. At least he doesn't look like Elmer Fudd," I cracked.She looked at me with a strange frown and I thought I could hear the gears turning in her head. She was obviously startled by what I had told her."I didn't think he even knew I was alive," she said vaguely as she carefully avoided looking across the room."So tell me.
