Therese’s Story – Chapter 35: Late

Natalie is a girl that lives two floors down from us, and Lucy hates her.She’s an actress, or at least she thinks she is, and we all watched the one movie she was in once.Some unbelievably bad zombie film, where she’s the blonde, big-boobed girl that gets killed twenty minutes in by a zombie who, of course, manages to rip her bikini off of her before he chases her through the woods, where she trips and falls in the mud, and they wrestle for way too long before he bites into her shoulder and then her boobs and all over, and I swear you can tell the guy playing the zombie has a hard-on.She gave the DVD to Toby one time. She has dozens of them in a drawer, and they’re probably the only DVDs that exist of it, and we had to nag Lucy for days about watching it before she gave in.And when that scene came, where she’s running naked through the woods, and the only things that aren’t out of focus are her boobs, Lucy jumped up on Toby’s lap and started kissing him, keeping him from watching.Because Toby and Natalie used to date before he and Lucy met. For over a year.But now she has a new boyfriend all the time. Some guy lives with her for a few weeks, and then she’s single for a few weeks, and then there’s a new guy there.We can always tell when she’s single and when she’s not because Batıkent Escort when she’s not, we hardly see her. And if we meet her in the basement or the elevator or something, she just nods and doesn’t say much. But when she’s living alone, she’s really chatty, and she shows up at our door every now and then to borrow something or ask for help with something.Like that time she showed up, wearing just a bathrobe, and said that there was no hot water in her shower and that maybe Toby could come and see if he could fix it.Lucy told her that Cait and I were better at fixing stuff like that anyway, even though we’re not at all, of course, and so Cait and I went downstairs with her, and the hot water worked just fine.Or she asks to borrow batteries, which she does all the time, really, and one time when that happened, Lucy said, “Oh come on! We gave you a bunch just two days ago!”“Yeah, sorry, I’ve used them all up already,” she said and winked at Toby. Lucy looked like she was going to claw her eyes out, so I pulled her away from the door, and Toby gave her the batteries.“Thanks, honey. I’ll be thinking about you for sure,” she said and gave him a kiss on the cheek, and I literally had to hold Lucy back, or she probably would have grabbed her by her Batıkent Escort Bayan hair, dragged her across the floor, and thrown her out the window.But I always kinda liked her. She’s hot, of course, even if it is in that bimbo kind of way, but when she’s not wearing all that makeup, she’s more naturally pretty, if you know what I mean.And she’s not a genius by any stretch of the imagination, but she’s not just a dumb blonde either, and she’s actually really fun to talk with.One evening she showed up at our door and said that the remote to her TV wasn’t working, and I said, “Toby’s not here,” because I was home alone.“Oh, okay,” she said. “I can come back later.”I said, “I can have a look; it’s probably just the batteries anyway.”“Uhm, yeah, okay,” she said, and I went with her, and the problem was that one of the batteries was the wrong way.So I said, “You really have to stop doing this.”“What?””Toby is never ever leaving Lucy, and he’ll never cheat on her either.”“I know that,” she said.Then she said, “Would you like something to drink or something?”“Coffee?” I said.“Ew, no. But I have tea.”“Sure, thanks,” I said, even though I don’t really like tea.We sat down, and then after a while, she said, “He’s the only guy who’s ever been nice to Escort Batıkent me, you know,” and she looked like she was about to cry, and suddenly I felt really sorry for her.Then she lit a cigarette and drew it in deep, and she said, “Actually, I hate these things. But I’m out of pot. You have any?”I just shook my head, and she said, “I could get some in like ten minutes. But I always have to suck the guy’s dick for it.”Then she paused for a few seconds before she said, “I’m done with that shit.”“With pot?”“Fuck no. With dicks. You don’t know this ’cause you’re a dyke, but all guys are assholes. Except Toby. You don’t know what happened, huh?”“Yeah, I do,” I said because they had told Cait and me a long time ago, but she just went on as if I had said no.“I jerked him off,” she said. “The director. But only because he said I would get the part if I did it. So I did it. And then, the same day, he called me and said they were giving it to someone else after all. But he said if I slept with him, I would definitely get it. And I freaked out, shouting at him and stuff. And Toby was there so I had to tell him. And he went over there and beat the shit out of him. And then I got the part. But Toby and I were through.”“He did that for me, even after what I had done,” she said. “So I would get the part.”“I think he beat him up because of what he made you do,” I said.”Yeah, I know.”Then she sighed and said, “And I didn’t really care then. About Toby. Because I thought now I was going to be this big movie star. Walk of fame and red carpets and all that crap.”
