We buzzed down the highway for another two miles until the green signs indicated a rather large interchange with gas, food and lodging. I determined t...at wherever this beauty went, I would follow. We exited the expressway on a long exit ramp. I fixed my attention on her direction signals, and imitated them as soon as I saw them.I had real butterflies in my belly as we turned off the exit ramp onto the four-lane state highway. What would I say to her? How would she react to my following her?. "But if I can get out to Hollywood, maybe I can find a spot in pictures."George knew her hope.

I don’t know if I want to kiss you or kill you,” she said.Kyle did a very Lee-like shrug. “At least I’m not boring you,” he came back.Debora laughed. “I will get even with you later,” she promised.Kyle winked at her again, “I was counting on it, sexy.” Then he went back to eating and made motions at her to hurry up.

Heterosexual encounters at condos were not in my plans. Thoughts were brewing—ribald thoughts of lesbian sex with coeds.Honestly, I knew he intended to ease my suffering, and I appreciated him in a way that only a lesbian in denial can.
