Description

&nbspThe time is Mid Seventies; the place is New York; and the subject is models: "The cab went west, turning north up Park Avenue South. At Pershing Square there was a great clap of thunder. When they pulled into the quiet street in Turtle Bay it was coming down buckets. Looking out, she said: 'Maybe you'd better come up; it's turning into a terrible night.' Pete stared through the glass. The doorman, under the canopy with umbrella in hand, stood back, waiting. The girl watched him; then, running her nails along the inside of his thigh, very lightly, he turned to her: 'Really? I think I may have to be in early.' 'No-you-don't!', she replied. 'Remember? It's the weekend?'" "He glanced to the photo ID attached to the sun visor up front: 'V. Polina'; the guy was young and good looking. Pete noticed the dark eyes watching him in the rear view mirror: 'You got a minute?', asked Pete; 'Take your time', said V. Polina. Jeannie, leaning back in the seat, her long legs crossed, continued to watch him: 'Where's that brave boy I used to know?' Pete laughed. 'Don't be afraid of me, Pete; it is true that I live alone, and that sometimes I get lonely; but you're safe; you're not my type.' Pete looked again into the mirror. When their eyes met the guy smiled, then, shaking his head, slowly, Pete imagined he could hear him say: 'Dames.' As he leaned forward to reach for the wallet, the driver turned in his seat: 'If you don't go up with her, Pete, I'm gonna.' Pete said, 'I'm going!' Laughing, she slipped a hand under his arm and pulling him to the door, she said: 'Come on; before I change my mind.'" "She hadn't done a thing with her face; she hadn't needed to; she was perfect: the chin-length, white-blonde hair, all cleverly, disarray; the classic 'elfin' nose; the big, blue, baby-doll eyes; those ankles; every part seemed formed to drive men mad. It was then I realized there was something almost frightfully wonderful about this girl, and taking note, there-of, it came to me that if the speckled imago were to make another pass at us, it may not be a bad thing to have a Ginger Gallagher on hand; it was then that I began to encourage her." "'You know, Darling, I'm being honest, here: you really do look fabulous.' 'Do you mean it, Terry?' 'Of course I mean it; why in the world would I say it if I didn't mean it?' She turned toward the deli window; it was only a moment but I knew she'd taken a look at herself in the glass. Turning back, she frowned: 'I don't know; sometimes I think I'm getting too old for this.' Oh, that was good; I'd struck gold with the first swing of my pick. Still, I almost laughed; she looked like a child: 'Getting old? You? Don't be ridiculous; how old are you now, Ginger?' Knitting her young brow, she replied, 'I'll be Twenty-Two, soon.' 'My God', I thought, 'she is getting old!'"
