Part 13
He stared at me as if I had three heads for what felt like an eternity. Then with a slight stutter he shouted; "Multiply the bounty! What the hell does that mean? Get of your Shakespeare trip and plain Jane it to me Poet."
Being an expert on other peoples lives is detestable. I hate it when it's directed at me and now I found myself expert on Mario's affairs. I was having a moral crisis about it but I also had Pulitzer fever.
I began to break it down for Mario.
"You are a pillar of the community, you've spent twenty five years depositing in the bank of good will. You've raised a family. You've filled your parents with pride. You are in love with Silvia and her sun raises and sets with your smile."
"You've been working to long in the coal mines. The lack of fresh air has clouded your judgement."
"Don't let the bullseye on your back take charge of your game."
"What bullseye are you talking about? Stop with the metaphors Poet, speak english god damn it."
"I don't intend to pump your ego but theses are the facts. You are a successful entrepreneur, you've maintained a stable environment for a quarter century. And your not bad to look at."
"A quarter of the the population of Miami is divorced and the ratio of woman from Venus to men from Mars is thirty to one. Look around at the darlings that surround you these peaches aren't plumb."
"Your new to the flesh game my friend and I've grown in it."
Here is where I sold my soul for the story.
"Listen I've seen the likes of you crash and burn at the site of a new pair of tits. I've seen a great many Chiefs burn their teepee and poison their tribes well for a fling."
"If you want to have your cake and eat it to then your going to have be deliberate about it."
"First of all Maria and Rubia won't be enough. For a proper harem you need a baker's dozen or thereabouts."
"Building a circuit and doing the rounds is the only effective way to maintain the ship of your emotions sailing smoothly."
"Mario If you become exclusive with any one of these ballerinas your ship will flounder."
Take note reader I'm not inducing Mario to break his vows. He on his own had seduced or been seduced by Maria and Rubia to date.
Although somewhat self serving I'm trying to lay some ground rules so that Mario doesn't self destruct and with him my dreams.
My aim was to steer the demon that comes out to play at the site of flesh into pages.
To be continued.
