"I really appreciate it."I really appreciate it." She noticed the TV. "Anything good on?" she asked. I forced my attention back to the screen and saw that it was tuned to a sports station which was running a women's bodybuilding contest. "I see you're interested in bodybuilding," said Joanne. "So am I." "I'm not really into it myself, but I like the way it makes people look," I said uncomfortably. Joanne smiled slightly. "I like the way it makes people look, too," she said enigmatically. "Thanks again for the use of the phone. See you around." After she left all I could think of was the big, beautiful woman who'd moved in next door. I wanted to get to know her better. I didn't realize at the time that I'd get to know her all too well. The next Saturday afternoon I was watching videotapes of women wrestling when Joanne knocked on my door again. She was dressed in another oversized sweatsuit, this one gray. "I just wondered if you were doing anything," she said. "Just watching some video tapes," I replied. "Nothing very interesting." Joanne walked over to the video tape machine and noticed the tape I had been watching. "Oh, I don't know. This looks interesting to me," she said. "Let's watch for a while. I'm kind of interested in wrestling." I started the tape again. "Where'd you get this tape?" Joanne asked. |
