" I can't just leave. My girlfriend is here with me." To hell with her too. She was history when our eyes met. Come on, let's go."She took my hand in ...ers and led me away. Once outside she asked me where I lived and when I told her she said:"My place is closer."As we got in my car she slid over next to me, her hand went to my zipper and she said:"I have never believed in that 'love at first sight' bullshit, but what just happened is what it must be like. That or lust."We hadn't gone three. "You just ninja-vanished on him, didn't ya?" he asked. "You know, it drives people crazy when you do that." I always thought it was expected." Rei replied."You know, Rei, not everybody thinks of ninja when they think of Japanese people." No, they also think of samurai, Godzilla, anime, and corporate raiders." Rei responded."So, who's our vic?" Edwin Forrest. Pretty fly for a white guy." I thought this one was black." Yeah, so did his father, that's why he shot him." Uh, you lost me." I'll. I had a few messages from guys but they were all after more than just oral, when I got a message from one guy who sounded very interesting and hot. He wanted to come over use my throat and then leave, no strings, not chit chat. Exactly what I was after! We chatted a little before I gave him my address and we exchanged numbers. The plan was for him to text me when he was outside so I could unlock the door for him.He said it would take about half an hour to get to mine so I got dressed and tried. Not for the first time, I spent the rest of the week in a daze, but thistime, it was for a good reason- excitement and anticipation over whatOphelia would whip up. With only two days to make the costumes and herextremely limited budget, I tried to convince myself not to expect toomuch, but every time I went into college to be met by her knowing grin,I couldn't help but get more and more excited. But it wasn't just thecostume that excited me- it was the hope that maybe, just maybe I wouldstop.
