Venus had had it with the drop dead looks. She had had it with chastising herself. She had had it with feeling like an unfaithful lover. Complicating things for her was that the one qualified person she could discuss the situation with was the very last person in the universe she should discuss the situation with, and there was nothing in Dr. Kristenson’s book, which she had read in its entirety, that came even close to describing exactly what kind of situation it actually was.

The resulting impasse she was experiencing with Lydia, which she had hoped to cure on her own, was beginning to appear quite permanent, and reality, nay REALITY, was completely wrecking her fantasy life, which heretofore had been rich and rewarding.

So it was, Venus finally understood, just exactly as know-it-all Paula had suggested, totally unrealistic for her to even imagine getting with Ms. Beaumont again, let alone to dream of having her for a thirtieth birthday present, which was pending and had been her life plan ever since she had fallen in love with the–the–she stumbled over the words in her head. She was angry and frustrated today, sick of her domicile, the work environment…herself. The words that came to mind this afternoon were ugly ones. Words like arrogant and bitch.

Oh, man, was she glad to be leaving the country again.

“Hello?”

“Venus?”

“Mama–I’m late, I know.”

“Better get here, girl. Jasmine wants to see you. She’s sure happy with you these days.”

“The leather coat?”

“God no, that foundation thing you do that was in all the papers. Proud as a peacock and bragging up a storm about you. How long you gonna be, honey?”

Go and figure. “Half an hour–what about the coat?”

“She doesn’t care about leather coats. Don’t you know that by now?”

Doesn’t care about leather coats? Shit no. Venus didn’t know that. This one was trimmed with mink. “Mama…you tell her I just made acting executive director of that foundation and I’ll be there soon.”
