she caught his eye as he entered the hotel lobby

his girlfriend said she would 
                               it was unfamiliar territory  he preferred roadside motels refurbished older buildings quaint inns less frequented

Eve didnt

she was making the rules

since he was financing it  he was going to listen 
                                                       then he was going to negotiate terms

 

Are you fucking kidding me

No. No.  I know Eve; you might remem . . 
. . I recall  no memory needed   You blew me off our movie date

I didn’t.

You did


I thought . . 
. . All you had to do was call 
                               You thought you could wrangle more work if you made nice  She wasnt interested in what you wanted  Eve was established as you said 

she didnt break eye contactavert her eyes

 

I get that right

she still held his gaze 
                        She’s really good, Joe, some say exceptional. I’ve seen her work and I trust that despite this being an unusual project she’ll create a fine product, which is what we want.

She’ll be discreet.

It’s our private movie.

It can’t be pirated, and if we hire her we’ll be assured it won’t.

 

You know I trust you 
                       You an she are fellow creatives 
Yes.

Mutual respect

Yes.

I am happy to hear her out

 


Eve was dressed to the nines nine was his favorite number  he wasnthe walked into the lobby in his torn bluejeans that hed had for better than twenty years  his tears were earnednot fabricated  sandals  and over his dago-T an open colourful Hawaiian shirt

her statement was chic

his was cool 
              he wondered if she ever got stoned

his girlfriend told him she was East Indian West Indian descent her height and length favored by her West side  soft milk coffee complexion fucking!white teeth   fit
he did his best not to undress her with his mind

she stood fixed in the lobby like a sun in its galaxy exudingdrawing with its gravity 

he felt it
          he was going to have to walk to her

he didnt have a problem with that 
                                     his girlfriend exhibited the same prowess  they were forces of Nature  and hed always been drawn to Nature and natural things

this was seemingly going to be a good fit

 

Eve  he extended his hand

Joe.  Hallie said you’d catch my eye.

Thats what she told me about you 
                                     I believe this may be indicative of a propitious beginning  a preparation for a fine interlude  spelled l-e-w-d

he caught her offguard  she laughedshe didnt cover her mouth

that endeared her to him more than she would ever know

typically he would be put off by nines

though he recognised her fashion suited her like skin

 

they crossed to the bar and had a drink to talk things over  Eve didnt order a champagne cocktail which would have floored him  a double Scotch  17 year old Bunnahabhain  he had a double Irish  Redbreast 15 year old

after she ordered the Scotch and he his Irish he asked the barmaid if shed also please bring two glasses of cold water no ice 
        Eve  Ive only heard of the Bunn-aha  would you mind if I had a sip

she smiledchuckled gayly 
                             No, of course not; I was going to you for a sip of your Redbreast, I haven’t had it either.

Hence the water  he said

I gathered that.

they toasted To Success and sipped their own drinksOohAahed their drinks  still holding their glasses they sipped the waterchurned it in their mouths noisily asif gargling  swallowed  confirmed their drinks were exactly what they remembered and thought theyd be  and having set their waters down handed off their drinks to be sampled 
they chorused OhWow

a sensual beginning

for a very sensual project      

 

Eve explained she had never videographed people making love and was absolutely tossed by the idea when Hallie proposed it  

Yes  Private porn  Im surprised no one has pitched it to you before  It is an event  An weve playeddiscussed our desire to make a movie for ourselves but didnteither of us believe that a static camera would   convey  orcapture   what we had in mindsaw in our minds eyes

I have a tentative script  but youd be the directorby all means  and we anticipate your artistic flair

Thank you.

Youre welcome 
                 Im not shy  Hallies shy but she truly felt she could relaxbe natural  or most natural in front of your lens  in your handsso to speak

 

his words were prophetic

they struck a deal

Eve would be naked too as she filmed

 

 

unscripted 
             a lustful twist at the edge of the bedreversing positions  he on topalmost toppling off  he grabbed Eves thigh  he regrasped to get a better holdbetter leverage  higher up  Eves thigh lacquered by her weep  his thumb brushed her sex  
                  he thumbedplayed her swollen clit 
CUT!
     camera hastily thrust on the bedstand 
                                            she tumbled into bed with them

 

too bad they didnt have a second videographer  
                                                  they were going to have to depend on their seared memories for replays

So whats that about Hallie

What?

When a girl has to use the powder roo . . 
. . Did you say powder room?

Wha Yah Weve just met these gir . . 
. . They’re not here; they’ve gone to the . powder room.


ANYWAY
          Whas with a woman who has to use the powder room that she asksinvites other women if theyd like to come with her

Does that bother you?

No  No Im curious before things I dont understand hence why Im asking youyoure a woman

Do you really want to know? she asked luridly

Actually I think I know he winked at her

You do? 
Yah 
And?
An I think womens bathrooms powder rooms are actually like expensive country club privies with smartly-uniformed attendants masseuses whirlpools saunas showers radiant-heated floors warmed towels moistened towelettes elegant bidets full-body mirrors  make-up artists 
                                             You girls look rarified when you emerge

Hallie waited for him to concluded before she burst out laughing she even slapped her thigh 
                                                                                                 Jesus, that’s richan elaborate sense of humour and imagination; if that were the case I’d go in and never come out. And all for the price of a couple of mixed drinks.

So youre saying thats not true

Yeah. A Ladies’ room is like a Men’s room without a urinal.

Ive made that mistake

What mistake?

Going into a bathroom to use the toilet and sitting there thinking what was oddwhawas odd about the restroom An emerging from the stall a lightning bolt strikes my skullthree women standing before a continuous mirror over the counter  four basins there were no urinals in the bathroom

What did you do?

I said Ladies in greeting an walked up to the free basin an laboriously lathered an washed my hands 
                                                                                                            If one was to get cooties it had to be to a man using a Women’s room.

So then you’re aware our bathrooms are no different than yours . . they’re not country club privies with bidets.

I dont know that it was a County Courthouse Women’s room . . I might add . poorly indicated

A courthouse Women’s room?

Jury duty Theyre not going to arrest a possible jury member until after theyre dismissed

You’re a riot. And the three women didn’t say anything?

politely they said Good morning and continued at their make-up

I was going to say I had four sisters as an excuse but withheld it No sense making it more awkward than it was

For cryin’ out loud, Joe.

I did say however parting Youd think not having urinals would have been an excellent hint but my mind was otherwise occupied 
                     I left ahead a bout of laughter

That’s a story.

So . . what about going to the bathroom and inviting company


Babe, if I told you, I’d have to kill you afterwards. 
                                                    Hallie thought she was pretty funny

Well I can tell you this much it doesnt work for the other side

Other side?

Yah I tried it out a couplethree times Three times and youre out

A couplethree times what?

Using the head asking the tablethe gathering Ive gotta use the restroom Any of you guys wanna go with me

And?

An I should have been more specific

Specific?

Yah I said guys  should have stipulated men 
                                                 I had more than a handful of women who wanted to attend me
Seriously?


Would I lie to you

it was Halloween

Halloween wasnt for kids anymore not since razors in apples druglaced baked goods and candies

when he was a kid he remembered year to year the homes of the women who made cookies cupcakes taffy apples who made peanut brittle popcorn balls and one-of-a-kind once-a-year homemade candies

 

all that was dead


Halloween spoiled by a few freaks
                                     Who should have been found prosecuted and hung from neighbourhood lampposts

You don’t mean that. his mother said abruptly

You know me to say things I dont mean Kids got sick some kids died trick or treating  JesusChrist

 

now Halloween was for adults

they dressed up or didnt didnt in the sense that it was a college town and lotsa young coeds feeling their oats slipped on lingerie and went to the bars as Victorias Secret angels
                                                              if that didnt give a guy a hard-on he was dead
                                                                                                                which meant he was a zombie which was perfect for Halloween

 

Found us. his girlfriend Hallie said

he turned to look

You really going to look?

looking You expect me not to look when its nearly naked women in the flesh

Aren’t I enough for you?

Youre plenty for mesometimes more than I can handle but they aint here for me Theyre soft porn we prefer hard Do I get an Amen
              Besides theyll drift wide of me because I might look like one of their professors

a grin broke across her face 
                              Oh, you do!

I do anif I was sharpwanted to impress youget in your pants later Id say right now that I knew they were coming and I chose to dress as a professor to be kryptonite to their scantily-clad superheroines

her grin went to an ear-to-ear smile 
                                      If you said so, I’d believe you.                                  
Cant now  I wanna get an eyeful

You prick! she grinnedgently punched him in the arm

 

they made a game out of it

there were thirteen girls 
                          A bakers dozen he said What muffins

Don’t push your lucky, buddy.

they had to choose two of the gaggle they found most attractive

damn their taste in women was the same

Ya realise that if we were vying for their affections wed be competitors

No. Not really.

Whadaya mean  not really

It wouldn’t be a competition; I’d win hands down.

Howya figure

I’m hotter than you.

I got a cock

Not really necessary. I know exactly what they want and where it is. You root like a pig after truffles.

he feigned injury Youve never complained

No. I like how you root.

Christ whadaya drinking tonight baby  you crack me up  

You love me.

I do

Hallie dressed up like a schoolgirl high socks pigtails bangs  big blackrimmed glasses

as they were leaving home admiring her he was thinking of coming back home or not going out at all

 

it was dandy evening

they sat side by side at a table for four facing the door

two women came in holding hands dressed like businessmen broad vintage ties tied around their throats no white starched shirts

they stood for a moment in the doorway taking in the room 
                                                               surveilling

two shakes of a lambs tail they crossed the room approaching them and asked if they could sit

Yabetcha Were not expecting anyone  I think a lot of people assumed we werethey didnt ask

they sat

in the proper spirit he asked if theyd care for a Happy Halloween drink

they looked at each other 
                           We started earlier.

Bankers’ hours Hallie asked

they laughed 
               Sure. Yes. Bankers' hours. That would be nice. One last drink with our two new friends.

 

they hit it off famously

Jane was six feet tall imposingly built Amazonesque  proportioned   she sat across from him

Erin five-ten smaller boned  nicely proportioned too

both wore their dark hair long

Erins was highlighted and sported bangs like Hallie

 

they had a second drink together

he suspected 
               but before they finished their first drink he knew they were barebreasted behind their ties beneath their suit jackets 
              that was arousing him

but Hallie kicked the kettle over 
                                  returning from the restroom she handed him her panties and bra and asked him if he wouldnt mind putting them in his briefcase


he snapped it shut

she leaned over an gave him a huge kiss 
                                            breaking it off she said There. Now, that’s what I call a brief case.
the girls said OhMy! over each other 

 

shortly thereafter Jane excused herself We’ll be right back. she pulled Erin to her feet

they held hands as they walked across the room and as they waited in a short line for the restroom

he took advantage of the interlude and kissed Hallie warmly and deeply  she kept things unexpected 

Whadayasay when we finish our drinks we go home

she gave him a squeeze under the table
                                           Thought you’d never ask; then we can get onto our real Halloween affair, professor. I’m anxious to learn my lesson.

his tongue grew hardhe couldnt speak he noddedtried to clear his throat 
                                                                             they laughed gayly

as the girls returned to the table they casually tossed their panties underhand to him 

Erin said Let’s make that a real brief case; Hallie you’re so clever.

he was temptedreally tempted to smell themto put their gathering over the moon really load up their conversation Don’t you dare. Hallie said I know you.

he smiled he folded them neatly and bedded them in separate attached leaves that held files

 

an animated conversation ensued
                                     stumbled over itself risqué  
                                                                   three beautiful women were knocking him out with their tongues they might as well have been brothers as apt they were at being able to keep up

 

when Hallie and he finished their drinks he told the girls they were going to call it a night

they had shared addresses and telephone numbers during their riotous talk saying definitely they had to get together again

Jane asked I’m driving, I can’tshouldn't. Could we impose on you for a lift home?

their addresses were a mile and a halftwo off  scarcely out of the way

Ya got it

 

they walked out into a refreshing embrace of cool night air

gauging by the peak of Hallies nipples against her blouse Jane and Erin were likely cold too

Were up the block left across the street halfway down silverblue 4Runner  he expected them to be fleet

IT’S COLD! said Jane and she slipped sideways towards plateglass shop fronts to their right 
                                                                                                   he stepped quickly away from the curb behind Hallie and got Jane by the arm 
                                                      he got more than her arm

righting Jane walking her back he asked Hallie suddenly to hook her arm in Janes he didnt wait for an answer as Erin began to stumbleshe caught her foot on a crack in the sidewalk  she pitched forward 
                                                                                           he caught her from behind under the armsaround the chest  he also got more than he expected

righting Erinturning backhe recognised Hallie and Jane were weaving he caught them too as a single unit 
                                                                                                            he was all hands
the walk was definitely going to be longer than he thought
                                                             but he was up to the task 
                                                                                         he was incentivised generously compensated and had he been required to submit a resume for the job it would have been right there in print  he had cats indoor an out and he capably herded them

this gig was no different


finally to and into the car from the backseat Jane said Erin and Hallies heads bobbing Joe. You had your hands all over me . . not that I’m complaining Erin and Hallies heads bobbing still 

Jane Erin Hallie I had my hands going all over you because you were going all over the placeswinging to and fro  anya got a lot to swing 
                         It was my pleasure

 

he hadnt had that much fun since high school when their little cadre of boys and girls went around the neighbourhood at night drinking liquor they liberated from the parents bars 
                                                              a whole lotta feeling up was going on

he catches his breath  
                        then he sees a picture of her and loses it

there are pictures of her throughout his house
                                                 he would  she was his daughter 

he had family pictures up thats why they took themhis wife took them to remember  to remind them

he never imagined hed be recalling all those times by himself
                                                                   they were dead

Gawds a twisted fuck  kneel at His altar 
                                             as likely hed have Him kneel at his cock
because thats all he had to offer him

sacrilegious
           Nah you have to believe to be sacrilegious

 

on the fridge under a magnet 
                               she smiled out from under a khaki winter ski cap they bought her when they lived in Minnesota 
             life-threatening winters 
                                       if they treated them as anything less it was like opening a door  anif breached  could kill them 
                people froze to death in their rural driveways spunout in the snow and either tried to walk in whiteouts to their houses or thought to sit tightwait it out  but didnt make sure their tailpipes werent buried  and carbon monoxide backed up into their cars 
                           sleep  ah . sleep    the Big Sleep

in the picture she wore her khaki cap  her sister wore a turquoisepurple banded cap  between them they held his granddaughter

it is a beautiful wintry picture of the three in Illinois
                                                       his mother probably took it

his father had as much interest or aptitude taking photographs as he did 
                                                                             they lived in the moment in front of cameras
they werent interested in recording it 
                                        he could say so for himself which went the same as having his picture taken

what pictures there were of him throughout the years were few and candid 

he didnt pose  true Snap shots 

the only pictures he might recall he posed was when he and his kid sister took pictures of each other taking pictures of each other  behind the cameras  dueling snapshots

people looking through photos 
                                 What’s this? 
                                                 they laugheddidnt say  it was an inside joke

those pictures he kept readily on hand 
                                          they were the antidote to the heartbreak hed suffer otherwise

the wash of being watched from behind pricked the nape of his neck

he set his cellfone down turnedsuddenly
                                                 there  in the corner
                                                                        the cold glint of nickel eyes
they snapped shut

Com’on  Step up
                   Peering through the keyhole works two ways as you well know

one eye opened
                 then the other 

Com’on 

 

clever-he stepped forward out of the dark corner 
                                                    You’re either getting better at this game or I’m off mine.

Couldnt say though my skin started creeping halfway through my text exchanges I purposely wrote what I did to bring you out

I see.

Youre getting mighty possessive about our cleverness  but you must understand you are not the be-all end-all source of it  When I need you  who am I gonna call

Ghostbusters.  Me.

Yes 
     If I need to confer  if I need the depth of your oeuvre  youre my guy or girl depending upon my adversary or intention  They were common interactions an Ill be damned if I want you looking in over my shoulder Capeesh

I capische.

Thank you  You ought to go

clever-he turned heels and began walking back to the corner
                                                                That was clever. he tossed over his shoulder

Thank you  Ill take that as a compliment

 

it was a tough week for his brotherinlaw

he had to undergo a colonoscopy  reoccurring bouts with polyps   necessary due diligence

doctor found a hot one on Wednesday

                              fever   swelling
he texted

he texted his daughter 

:  :  Well, hospital is keeping Uncle overnight, an infection . . on antibiotics. I’ll gather him up tomorrow . . evidently the pair of scopes was a bit more than he could handle
