Livinia had been almost right about Alicia being prettier, but that wasn't the word for it.Livinia had been almost right about Alicia being prettier, but that wasn't the word for it. "Knockout" was more like it. An inch or so shorter than Livinia, with the same flawless, dark complexion, Alicia looked ready to burst out of her skin. She was absolutely glowing with vitality. In her, the influence of oriental ancestry was a more evident. From the neck up. From the neck down she was the dream of every feverish adolescent boy. Her legs wee long and sleekly curved, her hips were as narrow as Livinia's, her waist was even tinier, but her breasts were about twice a big -- and Livinia was not a slouch in that department. Alicia's breasts were large, round, firm and too big for her to button as much of her blouse as Livinia had. Then I realized she was wearing high heels while Livinia was wearing flat heels and saw that Alicia couldn't have been more than four- foot-ten. Which made her proportions all the more striking. All I could think of for a moment was eating her. But I recovered and Livinia introduced us and then we headed for the Metropolitan. Me and four females. We had a delightful time. Evelyn and Sabrina were bowled over when they saw some of the fine silver-craft on the balcony overlooking the Rodin Garden -- and realized the work had been done less than five blocks from where Sabrina lived. Livinia was mesmerized by the Tiffany windows. Alicia was left breathless by the Temple of Dendur. I took my lovely quartet for a late lunch at Donovan's, over on Third Avenue. Alicia didn't speak much, and when she did, she spoke softly and with much less of an accent than her older sister. She didn't keep her eyes downcast in conversation with me. From Donovan's, I took them down to the IBM Gallery where there was a hand's-on science exhibit. The kids loved it and both Livinia and Alicia were somewhat tickled by the funny room that could make a child seem taller to an outside observer than a forward for the Lakers. I had them all back at Livinia's house by six. Alicia, barely adjusted to her jet leg, was more than happy to agree to sit up with Sabrina and Evelyn. |
