I went on a date with Jesus and within one dinner I had him eating out of my hand.
When I got there he was waiting just inside the open doorway of the restaurant. He looked pretty smart and dare I say it a little bit handsome but that fucking huge nose! I almost laughed out loud at that thought. He had already paid the waiter to hold a table with a good view to impress me. I thought he was middle-eastern, he told me his mother was Iranian and his father was Cuban Catholic. Well, at least he had the Catholic thing going for him. I got him talking about his family and suffered through the pictures of his nieces and his adoration of his sister. God, I hate hearing about other people’s boring perfect families. Don’t they understand people are just being polite? No one actually cares. Men just like to talk about themselves so if you play to their ego they’ll open up like a hooker’s legs on payday. After I talked a little about nursing school, it didn’t take long to get him talking about his work.
We actually did have some things in common. We talked at length about anatomy and physiology and touched on microbiology before I steered him to talk about forensics. I wish I could have had a notebook to take notes, it really was interesting, but I couldn’t look too interested. That would be weird. Slow and steady. I had to learn patience. I already knew how I was going to play it when he kissed me and it worked a treat. I could almost see the frustration in his face give way to satisfaction and pleasure. He would go slow. All I had to do was drag this ‘relationship’ out. Make out a little and, eventually, I might have to let him feel me up a bit. I could do this.
He could never know about the trailer. I could take him to the house in Pompano, but I hated being there so far from all my memories of Darren. Still, it was time to move on and Jesus was part of the plan. Jesus was my insurance policy.
I was ready to start looking into the auction vehicles and see what was out there. I had my dad and my brother’s social security numbers and had already decided to put the ambulance in Daddy’s name. I applied for a few credit cards in Sam’s name. If he was still alive his credit would be shit, but credit card companies give a minimum limit to anyone. All you need is an address and a social security number.As far as I knew, my dad was still buried in the backyard. The police thought he was there with Sam that day and presumed he and Sam ran off together and at the time I was in no fit state to tell them otherwise. By the time I could have told them, I was too scared that they would blame me for his death.
