He has a point, O thinks. She does view sex mostly as play-a fun thing-not a job to be performed to prove one’s love. This is why, she has opined, they’re called sex “toys” instead of sex “tools.”

“ Bambi is a proto-fascist piece of work,” Chon snarls. “It might as well have been shot by Leni Riefenstahl.”

Chon reads books-Chon reads the dictionary — and also hits the Foreign Films/Classics section of Netflix. He could explain 8 ^1 / 2 to you, except he won’t.

“Speaking of gender ambiguity,” O says, “I told Paqu that I’m thinking of becoming bisexual.”

“What did she say?” Ben asks.

“She said, ‘What?’” O answers. “Then I wussed out and said, ‘I think I want a bicycle.’”

“To pedal to your girlfriend’s house?” Ben asks.

“To pedal to your girlfriend’s house,” O counters.

She could play for either or both teams and would be heavily recruited because, at nineteen, she’s drop-dead gorgeous.

But she doesn’t know that yet.

O describes herself as “poly-sexual.”

“Like Pollyanna, only way happier,” she explains.

She would consider going LTG Lesbian Till Graduation — except she isn’t in school, a fact that Paqu points out to her on a near daily basis. She tried junior college for a semester (okay, the first three weeks of a semester), but it was, well… junior college.

Right now she’s just glad to have her guys here. As for ODB, they can have any women they want, as long as one of them is her.

Check that, she thinks They can have any woman they want as long as I’m the one they love.

Specifically, Laguna Beach, California.

The brightest pearl in the SoCal necklace of coastal towns that stretches down that lovely neck from Newport Beach to Mexico.
