I did and asked,
‘OK, so let’s say you grab this Ph.D. – it qualifies you to do what?’
She shrugged, it caused her breasts to move forward and I felt something move myself.
‘Oh I guess I’ll probably still be stealing but at least I’ll be able to look into the soul of the store detective.’
‘Shit, don’t bother. I already did and it’s a wilderness. Not a place you’d want to visit.’
‘Very deep Cooper. Tell me, are you a winner?’
‘Fuck knows, depends who’s keeping score.’
‘I’m serious here guy. I don’t want to know from losers, you gettin’ this. I’ve been nickled and dimed to death.’
‘Hey… lady, get a grip, look around you, am I hurting here?’
‘What… this proves what exactly. That your taste is way up your ass… and an automobile that ain’t worth shit in the city.’
That was about it, I’d had it. Put down my glass, time to fold her tent. But she stood, came to me, said, ‘Fuck me rough.’
Before I could reply, she put her hand on my crotch, pulled the zip down, took a grip of the action. She purred, ‘Oh you’re ready to pop.’
I was… and in a little while, I did. She was sitting astride me and gave a slow smile, said, ‘I’ve a piece of you now, you’ll never ball any other broad… you hear me?’
‘What’s this… post-coital aggression?’
‘It’s the truth, remember you’ve been warned.’
I didn’t know how to answer this so I didn’t. She rolled offa me, said, ‘You grab some Zzzzz’s and I’ll wake you with a blow job. You’ll come to, so to speak. Sound good?’
Yeah, well it didn’t sound too bad so I grabbed the shut-eye. Dreamt too, of pigeons and breaking glass and store detectives shouting ‘It’s a fair cop.’ Bert was there too but I don’t really recall what he was doing, save sweating.
When I woke, she was gone. Was I disappointed. Well, my body wanted her but my head roared THANK FUCK FOR THAT.
A note was propped on the coffee table. Not a note, a bloody manuscript. Jeez, maybe she’d left me her thesis and how long had I slept. Checked my watch, I’d been out four hours… What? The note consisted of long manuscript pages. I read the first.
