Prostitute

After leaving Ernie's I walked all the way abck to the hotel. I was tired and to tell you the truth, I was feeling sort of depressed. I got into the elavator and told the guy what fool. His name was Maurice according to his name tag. Then he said something funny. 'Interested in a little tail tonight?' It took me a while before I realised that he ment a prostitute. I told him my room number and he said he'd send her up. I figured when I was going up to my room, that, seeing as she was a prostitute and all I could get some practice in on her if I ever got married. Anyway, the doorbell rang and I answered it. She was sort of pretty with blonde hair, but you could tell that she dyed it. She was wearing this green dress. I felt a little uncomfortable when I saw that the colour of her dress was green. It reminded me of that Navajo blanket that Old Spencer owned and all that Arcadia stuff I told you about. Anyway she waled in, her name was Sunny. And right there in the middle of her room she just took off her dress and was standing there in just her slip. She had no shame. I felt kinda bad coz she was only a kid and all, I was expecting some old bag. In the end I apologised and said that I couldn't go through with it. I payed her the 5 bucks I owed her, I was no time-waster. Old Maurice said that it was 5 'til midnight.

After Sunny had left. I smoked a few ciggarettes put on my pajamas and went to bed. It was only a few minutes since I turned the light out when there was a knock at the door. I opened it, I felt really ambarassed seeing as I was in my goddam pajamas and all. It was Old Maurice demanding that I pay Sunny the other 5 bucks I owed her. I told him that he said it was only five. He argued. Siad that he told me it was ten. Sonuvabitch. We argued for a while. It wouldn't have been as bad except for the fact that I was in my pajamas. He it me in the end. Right in the gut, I lay there on the floor as Sunny took another five bucks from my wallet. Then they Left. After they left and I was on my way to the bathroom, I started to pretend that I had a bullet in my gut. I'm crazy. I felt like I was in a goddam movie. Goddam movies. They can ruin you. I'm not kidding.
