"I know two very bad secrets about this situation," the girl said to him, near the entrance of the bar.
"The first is that you're still in pain."
"I'm in pain?"
"Yes, you're haunted by your ex-girlfriend."
"No, no," he lied. "That's been and done. What's the second secret?"
"I can't tell you."
"Tell me," he demanded, with his beer breath filling that small space between their faces.
She looked into his drunken eyes for hope.
"The second secret is that we will have sex tonight."
He knew he was dealing with a woman in want. She wanted more than just sex, but he knew that she would use it as a tool, and that probably it would be good. He didn't care too much for caution at the end of the night, drunk, with a determined girl.
They made too much noise locking up their bikes in the courtyard. A light came on
above from one of the apartments in the block.
"Why are you here?" She said.
"I live here."
"Why?" She pressed. Her eyes were that of a hypnotized pelican.
"What are you really asking?"
"Maybe I should go."
"Do you want to go?"
She locked her bike to his, saying nothing.
"Shhh," he said and led her up the dark narrow side stair of the building.
"How long will you stay in this city?"
"Another year at least," he said, "I don't know."
She said nothing.
He gave her a glass of tap water as soon as they were in the door. Then he
went the bathroom to check that the toilet wasn't disgusting, washed his hands
and balls in the sink, and returned to the kitchen.
"You're in pain." She spoke with her eyes as well as her mouth. "I can see it."
"I'm okay. What do you mean?"
"You're not ready."
Her words were cryptic and intense. Her craziness was making itself known to him.
"Oh, my ex. That was a long time ago now. Since I last saw you a lot has happened."
"You're healing?"
"It's over," he said, getting tired of being on defense.
He kissed her on the neck. Her hair smelled of smoke and skin cream. She responded by pushing him back against the kitchen sink. His cock stiffened, and he knew she liked the feel of it against her stomach.
Shirts came off easily.
He was good at removing a bra with one hand. The index and second finger pull the top side upwards as the thumb pushes the other strap forward and under, creating a natural space for the hook to open in. Although he was left handed, he unbuckled bras with his right. This bra came off instantly, with no lapse in momentum.
Their jeans were not as simple. Hers came off remarkably well, but he had difficulty. Because he was trapped between the girl and the kitchen sink, he had little wiggle room, and so he just let them drop to his ankles. The problem with this is that then he had bunched up jeans, underwear and socks binding him and limiting his movement and stance.
