Have you ever noticed how when you're content with things on the home front is when you get some REALLY interesting attention? I know men complain about it, saying that just when they're relaxed with one woman is when they really get hit on, and I know there's something to that, because when they're self-assured (or maybe just assured of pussy?) they're just that much more attractive (there's this other theory, which says that since they're involved elsewhere it's safe to fool around with them; maybe that's true, too). Well, I was pretty comfortable with Larry, seriously had no plans to fool around (not out of commitment, out of contentment), and I was attracting an unusual amount of attention. This older guy, not fat and horny like the stereotyped out- of-town salesman, but trim, gray, cultivated, and probably about 50, didn't say much but kept his presence known. |
