Donât get me wrong: Iâd had girlfriends before. Nothing like this, though. Not a girl Iâd met in the street and come to visit for the specific purpose of having sex. But then, Iâm not the only foreigner whoâs behaved differently in Cuba than he would at home.
After it was over, Lisbet and I lounged on the bed in silence. The Joni Mitchell tape ended, and down the hall the muffled television blared. At risk of drifting off to sleep, I got up and started getting dressed. Lisbet rolled over to watch me, a teasing smile playing across her lips. âDonât dress. Iâm not finished with you.â
âI have to get back,â I explained. âThe tour group. You remember.â
She stopped smiling and sat up, not bothering to cover her generous, inquisitive breasts. âStay with me. You can get up early. Iâll make you a good Cuban breakfast.â
âNo. I really have to go.â I took a roll of twenty-peso bills out of my shorts pocket and saw from her dismayed expression that Iâd made a mistake. But it was too late to change course. She watched in wide-eyed alarm as I pulled three crisp bills off the roll. I held them out for her to take and she glanced at them in distaste.
âIâm not a prostitute,â she said, quietly indignant. âIâm a student of accounting.â
I was embarrassed, but I tried to put the best face on things. âI know youâre not a prostitute. But I also know you can use this money. Please, take it, as a gift. For your family.â
She shook her head. Her eyes had filled with tears. I sat beside her on the mattress and put my arm over her naked shoulder. It felt awkward, so I took the arm back. âLook,â I said. âIâm sorry. But you do need the money, donât you?â
After a moment she nodded, tears flowing, and held out her hand for the twenties.
