Seneca has long known that Latinas are special and different, but he couldn’t put his finger on why. The few he has known-well have been worthy of love. They are real women, proud of it, intense, and sexual. They know how to treat a man!
His new friend is in Chicago for only several months. She returns to Lima, Peru in February.
The Good Lord has given him a severe allergy to age-appropriate women, and she is younger than he by the number of stars in the Milky Way. He lives by God’s Will.
Their relationship of two weeks is not sexual and may never be. She is totally fulfilling as she is. There was a day when a man could enjoy a woman’s company for months and years without demanding more. He sometimes lives in that day.
His live-in East European roommate Lucky captures a man’s body with raw sexuality and a jiggle of her breasts. His Latina captures a man totally with the flash of her eyes, a shy smile, and with intelligence, class and elegance. She’s much more to his liking.
He will not claim they’ll be friends for the next several months, but he sure hopes they will be. She has chosen him for her love of live theater, live music, and his sometimes frequent attendance at functions of the Chicago Council on Foreign Relations. It does help that he picks up the tab.
A young stud muffin may show up and steal her heart, but he does not worry. He is always faced with that. It does really hurt when it happens. But the stud muffin may not share her interests as he does. Furthermore, she’s not in Chicago for a relationship, but primarily to visit family and secondarily to experience Chicago.
His Latina is magical. She is starry-eyed and not yet beaten down by life. Her hopes still soar to the Heavens and she still knows that everything will be okay. It is his job to nurture her and to watch her flower.
After all that, his goal is to make it with her for one more week.
When she leaves in February, maybe he’ll grow up.
You know he won’t.
Everything is as it should be.
Nothing will ever change.
No one will ever die.
