III
Several weeks had passed since my last encounter, and while I will admit that I was seriously checking out all the women in the common areas of the building trying to figure out who I had put the wood to that bizarre night, I heeded Bonnie's advice and didn't go to any extraordinary measures. The rent had come due again, and while I had in a strange way, enjoyed my encounters with Bonnie and her friend, I decided that it was getting too weird. I went to Bonnie's apartment to try and make some alternate arrangements to pay my dues. Apparently, Bonnie had other ideas.
"Come in, Sweetie" said Bonnie cheerfully opening her door, "I've been expecting you. You know your rent is past due again."
"I know Bon, but I finished a job a couple of days ago, and I should be getting the check next week. Can we hold off that long?"
"Oh, I'm afraid not," she said in mock disappointment, "but I'm sure we can work something else out. You're so good at working off your debts."
I had figured this was coming, and I tried to steer it in another direction.
"Bonnie," I said somberly "I really don't feel good about that. I would really prefer to just pay cash."
"Listen, Dearie, " she said in a suddenly intimidating tone "Who do you think has been floating the cash to Jerry when you've been, late? You'll do this my way, and you will do it right or you will be out on your ass in less than a week. Do you understand?"
There was no sense in trying to persuade her otherwise, so I folded. What the hell was one more, I would figure a way to clear it up next month."
"I understand."
"Good." She said suddenly cheerful again. She took a deep breath, her big, floppy tits rising and falling beneath a barely concealing summer top that was several sizes too small
"Now stay close to the phone for the next couple of nights, you don't want to miss your chance to clear up your little problem, do you?"
"Alright, Bon, I'll be there." Following her big swaying ass to the door.
"Talk to you soon, Sweetie." She said closing the door behind me.
"Shit." I thought, I had to find a way out of this. I didn't know how long I could take banging fat, old ladies for my rent. What the hell, I guess it wasn't so bad I couldn't take it one more time.
The next night, I was startled from my sleep once more. The clock read 12:40 as I fumbled for the receiver knowing who was on the other end.
