What's in a Number?

My friend C* married the first guy she ever fucked. And my number just reached a number too high to admit. I wasn’t really awake, still drunk and unaware of his last name. He was a break-dancer from Maryland. I didn’t really even take a shine to him, but rejection and loneliness were dying to be invited into my house that night and so I invited another so as to scare them off.

My desperate need to feel desired has doubled my number of escapades. There is only slight gratification in the act but great pleasure. Hedonism is prevalent. I’ve returned to my throne in that old castle of control and the cushions, fortunately or not, still fit my bottom perfectly. Maybe I was never meant to leave.
