Thinking about it one night in July, after his third beer, he got tired of being holed up in his room. Pedro had guests over, and although they tried ...o socialize with him, and Pedro encouraged it, he seldom felt like entertaining company. ‘Where you going?’ Pedro asked him. He held up his basketball, tried to spin it on one finger and ended up dropping it. The remains of a six-pack in his other hand slipped when he reached for the ball, and he nearly dropped that as well. One of the guys on. "Yes, I've never touched a woman," I said. That wasn't a lie. I hated dykesand wanted no part of sex with another female. For that matter, I wasn't tookeen on sex with men either. "This is really coming together," said Ron. "Mabel, subconsciously Marydesires you. You're the key player in her rape fantasy. She's never toucheda woman but she's become bi-curious. Let's satisfy her curiosity." When I looked at Mabel I saw she had already started to unbutton her blouse.I lay there trembling as she. Ned nudged him."You can snatch her up for small money, partner. Go for it!"With that, he pushed Jim forward who stumbled to the front, and when Caplan asked him, he made his bid of $40. From then on, Ned took over the haggling from behind, and Jim was still dazed when he stood before the redhead. He saw the tears in her eyes, then, and he felt with her. To be auctioned off like cattle must have been degrading. His first sentence conveyed this."I am most sorry, Miss Donegal, for this undignified. When her lines come I hold my breath, but they flow out of her in theatrical, confident tones. What a godsend.“What a godsend,” Alan echoes to my side.“Total actress, huh?” I whisper.“Total star. You should take credit.”“She was Sally’s discovery, actually.”He stays silent, then adds, “I’ll just say it was mine.”I laugh. It’s such a nice thing to say about someone. I remember my duties with the TV crowd and head back. I tell the cameraman to focus on one of the kids' crazy little breakdance.
