I watched the old Ford pick-up with it's musty, old seats that smelt like cats. Bill was another boy toy I had required after the horrible break up ten years before. But, unlike most he had stayed longer then a few hours. We had bbeen together for about a month now. All of my friends were just as surprised that I  had kept a man so long as they were when I shipped away my daughter.

Catarina. It had been ten long years since I had seen her. My mother wrote me a few letters here and there describing her to me. Describing all the things I was missing out of in my own daughters life. Sometimes I wish things had gone differently. Like, I wish I had been the one to raise my own daughter. I know I can't take it back now. However, maybe someday I will see her again.

I come to my senses as the sun rises higher in the sky. It is nearly 8:00 am. I still had to shower, get dressed, and be at work by 9:00 am.

I quickly throw off my pajamas and get in the shower. I let the warm water flow onto my body. It feels so good after a night with Bill.

I know I have next to no time but I stay in the shower. Thinking. Thinking about to many things. About Bill. About Catarina. About my Mother. About work and how I am now running late. I step out of the tub and turn off the faucet. I instantly shiver. It gets so cold in the bathroom when warm water isn't running. I quckly towel dry my body and hair. I brush my teeth and hair. I put on the first clothes I find when I open my closet.

I run as fast as I can in 3 inch pumps down to the garage area. I unlock my old 2004 Nissan Cedric. I drive as fast as I can without breaking the speed limit. Getting pulled over would just set me back farther then I already am.
