Oh man.Oh man. Oh, Mandy, I'm gonna come pretty soon... You don't mind, do you?" She picked up her pace a bit, bobbing up and down in an exaggerated strut on her sky-high stiletos. "Come on you guys, keep up," she said. "Oh! That's it, yeah. Gonna come. Gonnacomegonnacomegonnacome, jeezuswhatstakingsolong, mmm, mmm, come on, that's it, oh, damn!" She was literally bouncing up and down now, oblivious to the hazards of trying to skip in high heels. She leaned harder on her two companions for support. "Oh, I can't believe this," she panted, "too good, too good, oh, so good, but not... not. Quite. Enough. Uhh, oh my God. I can't believe this. Oh. Mandy. What did you do to me? I can't... I can't... uhhhh! Jeezus! So good, mmm, so good. Mandy! You did this! Why can't I come? Oh, aauhhg!." Mandy looked over at her. "Keep it down, lover, you'll get us all run in! Why can't you come? I've no idea. You'll just have to wait 'till we get back. We'll take care of you there, I promise. Just a little further, dear." Flora looked frantic. Her breath came in short gasps, as she looked desperately from Jason to Mandy and back to Jason, both of whom returned bland, innocent expressions. "Shit," she said, "why do I bother? Ohhhh, my. Ohhh, this is too wonderful. I HAVETA come, gotta come. GottacomeGottacomeGottacome. Ohhhh, shit. Ah, Ah, Ah. JeeeZUZ. I can't believe this. Can't we stop for just a sec? I can't take this, really. Puh-lease? Oh, shit. Oh, Mandy. Jason. Uh-ng. Please, let's stop, just for a second." "Nope," replied Mandy, "No stopping. Almost there. See, it's just down the block. Flora? Flora! Flora, goddammit, open your eyes, the doorman will think you're a drunken tourist. And for God's sake, girl, keep your voice down!" "NNNNGGG," answered Flora. "I'mmmmm tryinnngggg," she muttered through clenched teeth. As they approached the hotel doors, Mandy slowed down, and Flora slowly straightened, and even managed to screw her mouth into a mechanical smile for the doorman as they walked up the steps. |
