It was hard to know who was the more beautiful. Ha-yoon with her flawless, parchment-white skin and contrasting rose red lips. Or Jamila with her meticulous, geometric cornrows and startling azure eyes. The Korean or the African American girl. As for me? Well, white, blonde, and blue-gray eyed. Pretty quotidian. The shortest of the three, and the least womanly.
Either of the other girls would have been a catch. Enough to keep me dreamily occupied for long, languorous, sensuous hours. But both? How had I won the lottery? Alcohol I guess. Alcohol and contemporaneous break-ups. Solace in shots and in talking shit about our exes.
On bar stools. Me in denim short shorts, and a bright pink halter top. Jamila wearing a pale yellow summer dress, her full breasts pushing against straining buttons. Ha-yoon with a cute rah-rah skirt and cuter light blue crop top, tight across her braless chest.
