Why the Schopenhauer book now Benny? Abela says, lying on the bed in our hotel room, hands behind her head, looking at me in the chair with the book in my hands. We can fit in some *** before dinner and a walk around the city, she says. Just this page, I say. She sighs; there's time for reading and a time to cease from reading, she says, turning on her side to peer at me. I close the book and place it down on the small table. Last night you were too sozzled to have *** despite shouting it out to the whole landing, I say, gazing at her. Did I? She says. Yes shouted out: come get me lover boy at the top of your voice. She smiles; don't recall that; so why not now then? She says, just to make sure? What time is dinner? Half hour, she says, unbuttoning her blouse. The radio is playing some Bach piece. She is taking off her skirt, and I watch her, wondering if half hour is long enough. Come on lover boy; don't waste precious time, she says, down now to her skimpy underwear. I wonder what Bach piece it is; maybe an ***** work. I undress as I watch her lie back prepared and smiling. The Bach ends and some one talks in Croatian. I watch her staring at me, waiting, then Chopin begins and so do we: no foreplay, least not now, not today.

NO FOREPLAY 1972.
