Tales of Carlitos, the Mexican Factory Worker
Freedom of Speech
Carlos entered the large main library, walking under a banner that read, "Protect Freedom of Speech." Carlos chuckled. "These crazy Americans. They are so concerned with freedom, but they never do anything fun. I don't understand why they worry so much about freedom if they don't use it for anything."
Carlos went to the second floor to look for Elaine, the reference librarian. He met Elaine a month ago when he came to the library looking for a book on freedom of speech for his English class. Carlos took an English class two days a week to improve his speaking and writing skills so that one day he could get a better job, a job outside of factory work.
His assignment had been to write a paragraph on the importance of freedom of speech. Carlos had written:
Freedom of speech is very, very important to Americans. They like to say what they think all the time. You need lots and lots of freedom for that. Americans even say what they want about the president. If they think the president is a bad man, they can say so and not get in trouble. This is why I love America.
He saw Elaine at the reference desk looking quizzically at her computer searching for some important piece of information. As he approached her, she greeted him.
"Carlos, how are you? How is the project going?"
"I'm doing very well, with your help. I should be finished in a week or two."
"How long is the assignment?" Elaine asked.
"I have to write 20 pages," Carlos lied. "It's very difficult. My English is not so good."
Elaine grimaced. "I can't believe they would give you such a long assignment. It's hard to write in a foreign language."
Carlos nodded. "But freedom of speech is so interesting to write about. It's very important to you Americans."
"It's the most important thing," she replied, smugly. "It's what makes our country so much better than a lot of other places."
Carlos flinched. He had planned to seduce Elaine but now felt repulsed He didn't need an arrogant woman sucking his dick when there were so many women in the world. But those eyes, those green eyes. In Mexico, most people had brown eyes. Green eyes were exotic to Carlos.
Her lips were too thin for his taste, but lips were merely for show; the tongue did all the work. And, with a little education, even the most reluctant woman could give the most delightful head. And her hair was not what you would call stylish. It could be, if this woman would look in the mirror and think about ways to make her plain features beautiful. All women could make themselves beautiful, if they wanted. A touch of eyeliner, a splash of perfume, a low neckline. Why did she wear her hair so straight?
It had been a week since Carlos had seduced his co-worker's wife and he was getting horny. Elaine would do. While making love, of what importance was politics? He was quite sure that Elaine was slowly accepting his advances. The last time he visited the library under the guise of researching President Bush's thoughts on freedom of speech, Elaine was clearly more physical toward Carlos. She leaned over his shoulder as she helped him scroll through Internet sites, her warm breath beating down on his shoulder. Very soon she would give up her arrogant and prissy facade and embrace Carlos' warm and eager love.
Carlos went into action. "If I could only have some help," he said to Elaine, his big brown eyes opened wide for a sorrowful effect. "It's so hard to write so many pages all by myself."
Elaine paused, embarrassed. She stammered something about being busy. Carlos merely stared at her, big brown eyes deflecting her poor excuse. She looked at the clock then stammered, "We close in 20 minutes. I can help you for 15 minutes after we close. Then I have to go and meet a friend."
"I will wait for you at that table by the books on homeland security," Carlos said, grinning.
Exactly 20 minutes later, prompt and pristine, Elaine came to Carlos' table and sat next to him. Her skirt was long, too long, and Carlos was disappointed that even while sitting, he could not see much of her legs. Her blouse, however, was slightly more attractive with a modern cut and enough buttons undone to be slightly sexy. An unbuttoned button was very attractive to Carlos, wherever the button lie.
"Do you have an outline?" She asked seriously, ever the schoolmarm.
Carlos pulled out the sheets of paper he had used when he drafted his paragraph for class. "I'm having trouble with how to write about talking. It's very difficult."
"You need to plan your whole paper and then write," Elaine said. "You can't just start writing 20 pages. Let me show you."
