SUGAR DADDY

Mary Jane just called to tell me the judge slapped a six-month stay in the slammer on those two bastards who shot the dogs, plus a $5,000 fine apiece. I’d have made it six years and $50,000, but at least those judges are starting to show we mean business when it comes to animal cruelty, so I guess I have to say the penalties did my heart good. Now, if only there was a stiff penalty for breaking somebody’s heart the way Vernon did mine, I’d have even more faith in the system. Yeah, he broke my heart bad, and sure, I gotta admit I miss the bastard, and the good times we had, and the sex. But you can bet I’m dealing with it okay, I guess, ’cause Lord knows I’m not exactly a stranger to hurt and humiliation, and a gal starts to develop a pretty tough hide over things like this. I’m not a fool.

What I am determined to do is use my common sense, and not think about Vernon, and just move on with my life. After that big blowup at his house, I was crazy enough to actually think about having my stomach noose removed and returning to my old fat self just to make him happy. Well, it didn’t take me five minutes to realize how stupid and really insane that would be. I mean, first of all, no man’s gonna tell me how I have to look to light his firecracker, not after all the hell I’ve been through to improve myself. And second, I’m still young, and if I stay on the right track, there’s no reason on God’s green earth why I can’t find another guy who’s more…normal. Sure, I had my heart set on Vernon, and even once thought he might pop the big question, and still get a tingle when he calls sometimes and begs me to meet him at so-and-so restaurant since I’m the only person he can talk to. No, thanks. I’m not ready to play mother or big sister or best friend like insecure gals do. My guy’s gotta know I’m a woman making up for lost time, and I don’t make no bones about it.

And Sally? I had to think long and hard about Sally and finally decided to just take pity on her like Daddy would have told me to do. After all, I’m not a mean person who’s out to get vengeance on someone who’s going through what I went through with the weight, and the more I thought about it, the more I realized poor Sally was mainly a victim of Vernon’s sick perversion. Oh, I’ll never trust her again, that’s for sure, and I’ve switched my hours at the shelter so we don’t have to work close together. But I know Sally could never get very far with someone like Vernon, much less tie the knot, and, like Mary Jane and Rosemary said, she could really fall off the deep end if she thought her friends hated her for pulling one stupid stunt.
