EXCERPT – FULL OF
GRACE
“She’s a good girl,” Oscar says.
“Very good.”
“No, I mean good,” Oscar repeats with a pointed
stare. It’s not just the booze that
makes me look at him the way I do.
Good. He can’t mean good.
His words must’ve gone cross-eyed.
“Not good…as in good.” I shake my head
slowly, thinking of how Sher’s eyes were squeezed shut, how she kept biting
down on her lip, how my shoulders are probably bleeding through the dress shirt
beneath my jacket from the way her fingernails shredded my skin. I think of how she seemed so nerved-up
afterward, how she insisted on walking so ridiculously slow all the way back to
the wedding tent. Oh shit. “Not that kind of good. Tell me you don’t mean that kind of good.”
But Oscar shakes his head sadly. “I mean exactly that kind of good, my
friend.”
“Shit,” I say.
I want to bash my own head against the bar. I want to scream at her.
That kind of good and I just jack-hammered her
with a quickie? Why didn’t she tell
me? Now, I’m a part of this girl’s life
history. I’m not just some ‘good time’
she did at a wedding; I’m her first.
That’s an epic load of responsibility.
