“Rachael” by Titus Powell
Early Sunday Morning, November 22, 2009:
The intrepid Seneca has been living a life without list (listless!) since the arrival of Lucky and her subsequent departure coincidental with the arrival of Bonnie.
On Saturday evening, November 14, a week ago, sweet Reena arrived about midnight to take Bonnie clubbing. Although Reena is only age 20 and cannot legally enter the clubs, being hot overcomes those minor barriers. Arriving at the Crobar, Reena struts pass the line waiting to gain entrance as if she owns the place. The bouncers allow her, Bonnie, and Stephanie to take their appointed positions in the VIP area, where they are provided alcoholic refreshments just ’cause they’re beautiful.
They had gone to see Jenna Jameson at the club, but get so drunk that they cannot leave the VIP area to see Jenna. Jenna was in town to appear on the Oprah show. Bonnie returns home to Seneca’s place about 4:30 am, totally wasted.
At noon Sunday, she asks Seneca to come into her room. She’s sitting at her desk, long blonde hair straggly and a mess, eye make-up running down her face, young skin radiant with fertility. She is dripping with sexuality.
Bonnie: “Mike, I lost my wallet last night with all my ID’s.”
Seneca: “Damn, honey!”
Bonnie: “I had a thousand in cash in the wallet!”
Seneca: “Ohhh, honey!”
The two spend Sunday afternoon visiting all the places she may have left her wallet, including parking lots, to no avail. They try to find the place in the “Home Depot” parking lot where she dropped her pants to relieve herself. Both her and Reena’s cute little tushes were on display to any onlookers!
Seneca and Bonnie’s spending the day together brought the two closer, and any closeness they lost two months ago was rekindled Sunday night.
Bonnie has known Vince eight years. They’re both from the same city in the far northwest of America. A month after she moved in with Seneca, she was surprised to find on “my space” that Vince moved to Chicago with his parents and lives just down the street. Vince is 21, hot, and unemployed. Bonnie is 22. Had Seneca known that Bonnie would almost want her boyfriend to move in, he never would have asked her to move in.
Seneca’s closeness with Bonnie had been severed two months ago by the arrival of Vince on the scene. She and Vince then proceeded to break-up a couple of weeks ago, allowing a new closeness with Seneca that Sunday evening. However, she has made-up with Vince this past week, and Seneca again is on the outside looking in.
It ain’t easy out here!
