The Most Beautiful Woman In Town
The Most Beautiful Woman In Town Part 2
_
She simply came in and sat next to me. I was probably the ugliest men in town and this might have had something to do with it
“Drink?” I asked
“Sure, why not? ”
I don't suppose there was anything unusual in our conversation that night, it was simply in the feeling Cass gave. She had chosen me and it was as simple as that. No pressure. She liked her drinks and had a great number of them. She didn't seem quite of age but they served her anyhow. Perhaps she had forged I.D ,I don't know. Anyhow, each time she came back from the restroom and sat down next to me, I did feel some pride.
She was not only the most beautiful woman in town but also one of the most beautiful I had ever seen. I placed my arm about her waist and kissed her once.
“ Do you think I'm pretty? ” she asked
“ Yes, " of course, but there's something else... there's more than your looks "
People are always accusing me of being pretty. “ Do you really think I'm pretty?"
Pretty isn't the word, it hardly does you fair. " Cass reached into her handbag. I thought she was reaching for her handkerchief. She came out with a long hatpin. Before I could stop her she had run this long hatpin through her nose, sideways, just above the nostrils. I felt disgust and horror. She looked at me and laughed, “ Now do you think I'm pretty? " I pulled the hatpin out and held my handkerchief over the bleeding. Several people, including the bartender had seen the act. The bartender came down: “ Look, " he said to Cass, “ you act up again and you're out. We don't need your dramatics here. "
"Better keep her straight," the bartender said to me.
“ She'll be all right, " I said
“ It's my nose, I can do what I want with my nose. "
"No," I said, “ it hurts me. "
“ You mean it hurts you when I stick a pin in my nose? "
“Yes,it does, I mean it. "
"Alright,I won't do it again, cheer up."
She kissed me, rather grinning through the kiss and holding the handkerchief to her nose. We left for my place at closing time. I had some beer and we sat there talking.
It was then that I got the perception of her as a person full of kindness and caring. She gave herself away without knowing it. At the same time she would leap back into areas of wildness and incoherence. Schitzi.
A beautiful and spiritual schtzi. Perhaps some man, something would ruin her forever. I hoped that it wouldn't be me. We went to bed and after I turned out the lights
Cass asked me, “ When do you want it?
Now or in the morning? "
“In the morning, " I said and turned my back.In the morning I got up and made a couple of coffees, brought her one in bed. She laughed.
“You're the first man who has turned it down at night. "
“ It's ok, " I said, we needn't do it at all. "
“No,wait, I want to now. Let me freshen up a bit. "
“Come on, lover man. "
I got in. She kissed with abandon but without haste. I let my hands run over her body, through her hair. I mounted. It was hot and tight.
I began to stroke slowly, wanting to make it last. Her eyes looked directly into mine.
“What's your name? " I asked
“What the hell difference does it make? " she asked.
I laughed and went on ahead.
Afterwards she dressed up and I drove her back to the bar but she was difficult to forget.I wasn't working and I slept until 2p.m then got up and read the paper. I was in the bathtub when she came in with a large leaf - an elephant ear. “I knew you'd be in the bathtub, she said, “so I brought you something to cover that thing with, nature body. "
She threw the elephant leaf down on me in the bathtub.
"How did you know I'd be in the tub?"
“I knew. "
Almost everyday Cass arrived when I was in the tub. The times were different but she seldom missed and there was the elephant leaf. And then we'd make out. One or two nights she phoned and I had to bail her out of jail for drunkenness and fighting.
"These sons of bitches," she said, just because they buy me a few drinks they think they can get into your pants. "
"Once you accept a drink you create your own trouble."
“I thought they were interested in me. "
