Denis and I were talking about the Aquarian in Gemini clothing…

Yeah, well he said I had a secret admirer, Denis. And I told him, I don’t want to know about it. I want a man with a heat-seeking missile. What’s he doing talking to you? He should be talking to me. I can tell you right now, whoever he is, I’m not interested.”

“You told him that?”

“Of course I told him that,” I said. “Please don’t waste my time. He was interrupting my workout with this. To chat about this as if it’s going to be fun or interesting or engaging in any way. As if I am going to care about some dumbass in the locker room who thinks I am cute. Is this high school?”

Denis laughed. “You don’t want that, do you. Ilsa? You want a man who is in your face. Not a man who is talking behind your back.”

I laughed. “Yes, that is it exactly. Can you imagine what kind of lover a guy like would be? I can. Thank God I’ll never have to actually endure it in real life. If a man is afraid to talk to me, how the hell is supposed to be in a bed with me? I guess he’d run screaming from the room in terror.” I snorted. ‘Anyway, that’s that. We’ll see what happens next. The saga continues.”

“Yes, Ilsa. Life goes on, doesn’t it?”

“And this is how these women end up with lousy men… men who don’t please them, you know. They don’t pay attention in the beginning. As far as I am concerned whoever this guy is, he’s already shown himself to be inept. For some women they’d like that but for me?” I laughed. “They should probably stay away from me for their own safety. Because I am so annoyed with this kind of thing there is no telling what I might say if approached.”

Do you pay attention in the beginning?
