"Where are we going?" she inquired.
That would ruin the surprise wouldn't it?" he asked.
"What surprise?"
He shrugged. "It's a quiet space I just found out about close by. I just assumed you wouldn't be able to entertain me there properly without other's knowing."
This tone of voice made her feel as if she were ashamed of him. "I'm only putting up with you because of the money," she indicated.
He nodded. "I'm aware of that."
"And once my service is done tonight, I want nothing to do with you."
"Which is why I am making it easier on you by remaining anonymous. I know it wouldn't look good for you to be seen with a white man." These words were said with a lot of frustration and she had a feeling this didn't have anything to do with her. Yet, she didn't want him to think she was ashamed of his color, it was just that if Marvin or even her mother knew or even suspected her involvement with any man, she would be in trouble. She still remembered the horrible beating she had gotten in the tenth grade when she allowed some boy to just walk her home and someone had told Marvin. He had waited until Nanna had gone shopping the following day and beat her with a thick cover over her so there wouldn't be any marks lefts, but she had been sore for days. Her uncle had made it clear that there would be no dallying for her with anyone.
