Last night I got a phone call from a friend in Las Vegas. He'd been comped four free nights at the Mirage in January. He wasn't going to use them all and wondered if I could use a couple of them:
"Roxy, how are you doing Babe?" When he told me about the rooms, I immediately thought of her. She's always asking for a room, so I called her with the surprise, "Good news Babe, my friend called and said he had a couple nights at the Mirage. When can you come to town and use them? One catch, they have to be used by the end of the month," - I miss her like crazy and thought an enticement of free rooms might lure her to town.
"Jethro - you just don't get it!", she says in a perturbed tone -- "What part of our last conversation didn't you understand? There is no you and me anymore. Do I have to draw a fucking picture for you?" - We had a beautiful rendezvous last time she came to Las Vegas. It ended oddly, but I'm willing to give it another go. I told her such, and she says, "Look, moron, the two of us being together is over! Do you understand that? Come on! No one is that stupid."
I have become use to barriers in my life, so I tell her this in a warm tone -"Babe, I just wanted to know if you were interested in the free room. I didn't say anything about the two of us meeting up. If you don't want them, just say so. I will find someone else who does." I hear a sigh, and then she says, "Well, now that I think about it, Carmen's birthday is the twenty first. I'm coming to town for it - Look, dip shit, I will take the room. But understand me! We are not going to hook up when I get there. Are you clear with that?"
I tell her again my gesture has nothing to do with us, I just thought it would be nice to give the room to someone who appreciates it. I then tell her I will call closer to the date to make sure everything is a go. She says this in parting -- "Jethro, don't get any ideas when I come to town. I am not going to sleep with you again! If that's what you are thinking. You are dead fucking wrong!"
