This afternoon I decided to meet Lisa at the mall.

Having dinner at Ryan's is a great excuse for adding a new dress to my wardrobe!

After a few minutes, I see Lisa talking on the phone, walking towards me.

Lisa:"Yes, yes ... We'll call each other back."

She smiles at me before hanging up.

Lisa:"Or not..."

She gives a little-disgusted look at her mobile.

Lisa:"Hi, sweetie!"

T:"Hello, was that another one of your maltreated men?"

Lisa:"Ha ha, you bet! I met him at a friend's house one night and we met again at Starlite's yesterday ... The sexy... hippie kinda guy you see ..."

Hmm ... Beards and hairs are not my thing...

Lisa:"Anyway, what a disaster!"

Lisa:"The guy was a real burly, the Canadian lumberjack type. You think to yourself Hey, this guy's gonna stay the distance ... He's gonna go through all the Kama Sutra positions in one night."

Lisa:"Well, no! He passes out in full swing!! Can you believe it?!"

Lisa:"Like, poor little darling! It was too much for him!!"

I burst out laughing at my friend's scandalised face.

Lisa:"I thought I had Chewbacca on top of me and that he was gonna choke me ... I even had to slap him a few times to revive him ..."

T:"So, you like them hariy now, do you?"

Lisa:"I thought I'd try ... Well NEVER again!"

I let out another uncontrolled laugh, in front of the surprised looks of some passers-by.

Lisa:"Anyway ... He's hoping, poor thing, that we'll see each other again ..."

T:"Poor man ... He's got his hopes up on Lisa, the man cruncher ..."

Lisa:"Seriously, I should check if I haven't been cursed, to fall on another wacko every time!!"

T:"Not every time ..."

I hold back as best as I can from bursting into laughter, but it's obviously, obvious.

Lisa:"Don't be so condescending,
Miss I-am-dating-the-sexiest-boss-in-all-of-New-York ..."

T:"On that matter..."

Lisa:"Grrr ... she's got another saucy story to tell..."

I could tell her about our last encounter but I don't think it would be very fair play.

T:"No, well I could, but that's not the point ..."

T:"I must find myself a new outfit for Carter's dinner tonight."

Lisa:"Another social event...?"

Lisa teases, one hand on her hip.

T:"No, he's invited me over to his. His half-sister will be there too."

Lisa:"Wow, it's getting serious..."

T:"I hope so ... in any case, he's behaving like it is."

T:"I don't know ... It's the impression he gives me, but I don't want to get my hopes up too high, either."

Lisa smiles at me, taking my arm in hers.

Lisa:"Okay, let's pick up you a dress, Cinderella."
