My stomach squeezes tight. I want this woman. Impertinent mouth and all. She knew who I was and yet she mouthed off to me anyway. No one, I mean no one, does that. Not even Lamar or my asshole friends or my fucking brother. Okay, maybe my friends and my fucking brother, and yeah, likely Lamar too, but the rest of the world treats me with kid gloves and practically jerks me off anytime I enter a room. She didn’t seem to care.
