Chapter Nine

Nita only had so much patience, it seemed. She wouldn’t hang around with Sam, who was waiting for Jamie to collect his car from where he’d found a parking space two blocks away. She walked ahead, saying they could pick her up on the way if she didn’t get back to the apartment first.

Sam stood in the doorway of Chili Verde. It was the beginning of February and there was just a hint of warmth in the air. She clutched her jacket tightly around her and stomped her feet to fend off the cold. She had wanted to go with Jamie to get the car, but Nita had still been there then so she stayed with her, and then Nita suddenly decided to leave. She’d watched her worriedly until she disappeared from view, agonizing about whether she should run after her. In the end, she waited for Jamie.

He’d gotten the muffler repaired, so that the Escort sounded like most cars. When he turned the corner and parked in front of the restaurant, she hurriedly climbed in the front seat.

“Nita wouldn’t wait. She’s walking home. We better catch her.”

Jamie goosed the car and they burned tire for a few hundred feet in the otherwise quiet night. Pinned to the back of the seat, Sam tried to fasten her seat belt. She shivered as she perused the sidewalk for signs of Nita.

The day after Edie had brought Jamie the car, Sam and Karen and Jamie had tried to remove the bumper stickers without much success. After hours of washing and scraping when there were still pieces of sayings stuck all over the vehicle, Jamie covered them with new stickers—Escape to Wisconsin, UW-Wisconsin, Badgers On Board. The idea had been to make the car less obvious. What they’d done was make the car inoffensive. Other students blew their horns or shouted and gave them thumbs-up as they passed.

At the apartment, he and Sam piled out of the car and raced to the door. Sam fumbled with her key. Nita opened up before the lock turned and they fell inside.

“I made it home,” she said, looking pleased.

“That doesn’t make you safe, Nita,” Sam said, as they stood crowded together.

“Maybe you’re not safe, but I probably am. I doubt if he connects me with you or Jamie.” She put her hands on her hips. “I’m going to bed now. Don’t wake me up in the morning.”

“Do I ever?” Sam asked, wishing Karen were there with them. Her one weekend alone with Karen in the dorm had been a learning experience. Her crotch tingled when she thought of those two days. There’d been little opportunity since for anything but quickies under the covers at Sam’s apartment. They never knew when Nita would burst into the room. Once she’d caught them in mid-sex, and they’d had to pretend nothing was happening. It really put a damper on the act.

Before Sam fell asleep, her hands wandered over her body, reliving that weekend. She dreamed of sex awake and asleep.
