Me and Betty (Love is strange) CHAPTER THIRTY-ONE




Your sweet loving
Is better than a kiss
When you leave me
Sweet kisses I miss- Love is Strange- Mickey and Sylvia

  Remember when Peter,  Paul, and Holly jumped into my taxi Betty was riding with me  and Peter had made a snide remark about it? Then you remember that Betty asked me to look for her later,  which I did and which she never had to ask me to do.
   I'm a pretty good-looking guy and back in the days I did not have to chase girls. They chased me. That's besides the hobby I had started after I inherited that money from my father's  insurance, may he rest in peace. Anyhow and this is on the QT. It has been a long time since I've been able to get it up.

Now there is more than one way to skin a cat and I don't have to discuss that here only to say that Betty is in love with me, she told me so herself. One night she told me that and also said she wanted to live with me. So before it went any further I told her about my little problem.  She told me that didn't matter to her so I let her move in with me into the room that I was renting dirt cheap. You know I never learned the last name of the guy whose apartment it was. Our thing was all cash month to month and I could not use the kitchen and I had to clean the bathroom. He was okay with Betty moving in but I had to give him another hundred a month.
You know that thing about hookers and strippers that are really college girls and how that's a big joke because most of the time that's a lie. But Betty signed up to get her GED and Associates in Medical Records Technician at Manhattan Community College.  She still did a little bit of tricking on the side advertising Adult Entertainment and Massage Therapy in The New York Observer and the Voice but not like before. Just enough to help out with the rent and take care of her own eating out in the Ukrainian restaurant on the corner where we lived. I was okay with that because like I once told you it is not my business to save damsels in distress.
We sleep together and we do other things. She is a great kisser and she says so am I. I know this whole thing is weird but that's how I'm living right now.  She knows that I still work with Peter and Paul and their little crew that are back in the motel on one nine in Jersey City. I never mentioned that during that blizzard  I got to talkin' with Jeffrey Epstein. Actually the guy's a goddamn genius. Of course on the night of the blizzard he pegged Peter and Paul right away as being pimps and saw that I was sitting with them and that Andrea was a little bit sweet on me. So he followed me into the men's room after we all had had a few plum brandies. He straight out told me, no beating around the bush, that he was in the game like Peter and Paul except way way above their level. He gave me his card and told me I should call him because he was always looking for talent and talent scouts.
