The restaurant is practically empty. There is only one other couple dining at a table. Maria is surprised. Roberto, her boyfriend, had been pestering her for weeks to come with him to this restaurant. It was all mysextour he seemed to talk about. If the restaurant is so mysextour great, then how come nobody's here mysextour? Maria was hoping it would be crowded, so that she could mysextour break up with him mysextour without his making a scene. Oh mysextour, well. Might as mysextour well get it over with tonight. She had been putting it off for too mysextour long anyway.
The girl's face lights up. "Oh mysextour, yes. Mr mysextour Flores. We 've been mysextour expecting you. Please walk this way." She leads them mysextour to a table in a dimly-lit corner mysextour on the opposite side of the room from where the other couple is dining mysextour. Maria sits mysextour, and then the girl pulls out mysextour a chair mysextour for Roberto. As he sits, she leans mysextour in real close to him, show off her movies cleavage, and says, "If there 's anything else I can do for you tonight mysextour, anything at all, please mysextour let me know." Maria wonders if they pay her extra to flirt with the male customers like that.
"What's that supposed mysextour to mean?" asks Roberto mysextour.
"It's obviously why you wanted to mysextour come here so badly."
"Nice mysextour? You call this place mysextour nice? It's tacky and mysextour sleazy. I'll bet if you mysextour wave a twenty in mysextour front of that girl, she'll lap dance for you."
"Uhm... No, I don't mysextour think mysextour so... I can't remember."
The other cocktail waitress is standing next to Maria. She too is mysextour patiently mysextour for the two men to finish talking. She leans down and whispers in to Maria's mysextour ear, "Your boyfriend mysextour is gorgeous. You must feel very lucky."
Maria looks over at Roberto again. It's as if she mysextour's looking at him for the first time. She never really noticed mysextour before movies what broad shoulders he has. And a mysextour square jaw. And a piercing stare mysextour. Maria feels mysextour a mysextour warm glow inside. "He's so mysextour gorgeous..." she mysextour repeats.
"Mmmm hmmm mysextour," she says, nodding her head mysextour in mysextour agreement mysextour.
"So tense..." Maria feels a mysextour knot in the pit of her stomach.
"Say it to me movies, Maria. Tell mysextour me how you like it when mysextour I make mysextour you feel submissive."
"Shit mysextour, I've got mysextour to get up early tomorrow mysextour. I start my new position at work. Why didn't you mysextour tell mysextour me it was mysextour so late?"
The walk to the mysextour doorstep mysextour takes an eternity. Why is she doing this? It's not too late. She can take him to the doorway, give him a proper kiss, and mysextour then tell him he has to go. He might be a little mysextour angry mysextour, but he should understand, shouldn't he mysextour? Why is this so difficult?
"Strip," he says.
"You mysextour heard me."
This is crazy. She has to stop now. Maria kicks off her shoes. Roberto's insane if he mysextour thinks... Maria looks up and mysextour sees Roberto's stare -- his piercing stare -- and her train of thought is broken. She reaches mysextour up, unclasps her bra, and lets it fall to mysextour the mysextour floor.
