As Rabbit got out of the car he smiled at Rafael, still sitting naked on the front seat.As Rabbit got out of the car he smiled at Rafael, still sitting naked on the front seat. "Good luck kid, maybe I'll see you around. Have fun!" Rafael grinned, "Yeah! It was fun. See you," he said. He liked Rabbit. Luis pulled back onto the road. It was just the two of them now. He looked at Rafael and examined the naked boy critically. "Well what is it kid, my place or the bus station? You got a nice body," he added. Rafael shrugged uncertainly. Part of him was demanding again, insistently, hungrily, unsatisfied. He liked Luis even though he was scared of the man. "Yeah," he murmured at last. "Yeah what?" Luis asked. For a brief moment his memories of Centerville flooded his mind. He had hoped that Mr. Baker had wanted him enough to take him away, to give him the affection that he'd never known. He didn't care that affection came only with sex. It wasn't that bad, most of the time it was okay, and sometimes it was fun. Now Mr. Baker was probably dead and that dream had died too. There was nothing left for Rafael at Centerville and even Cal was loved in a way that he'd never been loved by a grown-up. |
