“WHAT IS it?” Alba asked dubiously. The thing was pink with silk flowers glued to it. Lots of them, trailing from the back like a little miniature wedding posy.

“It is a clip,” Jai said, his deep voice thick and full of discomfort. “My sister makes them. I tell her I worked with young woman, she wanted you to have one.”

Alba fumbled with it, worked the clasp, and said, “Oh!” And then she lied her ass off. “It’s gorgeous, Jai! Thank you.” With a few of those quick girl movements that never ceased to amaze me, she fashioned that thing so it was pulling some hair on the side back and holding it behind her ear. “I’ll wear it all the time!”

Alba could not possibly have liked that clip. Sonny and I exchanged glances that said this. Alba wore black, white, tan, gray, and gold. She wore tight shirts, yes, and tight shorts too, but not frilly, not loud, and for fuck’s sake, not pink.

But Jai brought her a cold soda from across the street every day. He jimmy-rigged the little fan we had in her office so it blew over ice, and helped Sonny with the swamp cooler, so that made it even nicer in there. He brought her stuffed kitten tchotchkes with giant eyes that quite frankly creeped me and Sonny the fuck out, so she could stack them around her ancient computer and it looked like a girl place.

Jai may have been looking for a guy to suck his dick, but someone out there had taught him how to treat a girl like a princess, and he was spending all his unused skill on Alba.

And Alba? Well, at first she’d been cold, and when the first stuffed kitten had arrived, she’d looked distrustfully at Jai.

“I don’t put out anymore,” she said flatly, and I wanted to both cheer for her and cringe for Jai.

Jai didn’t bat an eyelash, though. “Good. You are a good Catholic girl. Good for you.”

I was across the garage, but I didn’t miss the covert look Alba shot me and Sonny as we were bent over the hood of a Dodge minivan.

“I’m a good girl now,” she said. “Are you a good Catholic boy?”

Jai shook his head no. “I like dick,” he said, and for a moment I thought Alba was going to ask “Dick who?” and then she shook herself all over, shot us another glance, and said, “They’re taken.”

Jai actually looked put out. “I know. And the little one is cute too.”

I was in the middle of bristling when Alba said, “He’s not the one I’d go after, but yeah. It’s a shame. You know, you don’t have to bring me presents. It’s nice and all, but I’m really just sorta hanging out here to keep outta trouble.”

And that big smile, the one with the big blocky teeth and the lifting of the barbell brow, showed up, and Alba didn’t look terrified at all.

“You are good girl, like my sister. I’ll bring you stuffed dog next time.
