I Will Always Love You*
1. About Going To Cinema. Greenaway's influence on preludic
conversation. French influence on preludic conversation.
For the last month their lovers' habits changed. Before, Nora was
happy with coming to his place, watching him cooking his
spaghetti and carefully bringing the plates to the table as if
she was a Turkish pasha. Then some conversation always with
careful turns not to irritate him while he sipped his bottles of
red wine. If he got irritated he turned red and started to argue
in a voice pitch not encouraging a raise of libido. Or, he looked
out of the window mute and she went on with showering, brushing
her teeth and getting into the bed, trying to guess if he would
start to caress her, or she. Many times she got irritated because
he repeatedly explained to her that he couln't belong to one
person because he was not an object, and the emotions came from
different people in different ways. This was hard to swallow for
Nora. Even paralyzing. But somehow, through wind and sun, they
reached their third year of togetherness and she was thinking
tenderly about him also because of this, sometimes.
Lately they were going out to watch movies. At the beginning he
was negative about going to the cinema and always asked for seats
next to the entrance, so that they could leave quietly if bored.
Then, after they watched at his suggestion a porno video and to
her oripilation she was excited - besides being higly disgusted
and managing to keep an intellectual, ironic facade - excited to
the point that she came in a matter of one minute, which didn't
happen lately; she thought for a week and took him to art films
which as any quality art product was due to have highly esthetic
love making shots, purely artistical and not that mechanic, porno
trash he imposed on her. So they saw The Pillow Book and
they discussed why the woman in the movie began to write in a
peculiar way by drawing Chinese letters on living human bodies,
and why she didn't want to share her bi-sexual French young lover
with her homosexual publisher, who had also fucked her father a
long time ago, and why she felt so humiliated, and why after the
publisher un-skined her dead lover who died in a Romeo and Juliet
style sleeping pills ingurgitation, why she made the publisher
kill himself by sending him her books written on naked men. He,
let's call him Phil - to involve our on line creative writing
readership more - he said that the Chinese girl killed the
publisher. Nora - who actually hated her lover, but couldn't
escape his charm and willingness to be her guinea pig for her
literary experiments aiming at finding her own voice - she is a
bit deaf, that's why it takes her more time than to other budding
wanna be writers like the illustrious Gondolanos de Bimba - said,
"No! She didn't kill him in the least, she just speeded up
the process of re-union with the possessor of the un-skinned skin
in the happy lands. And actually what was she thinking she was
doing? She said the publisher must be punished because he
penetrated her father's and lover's asses and she said they
didn't like it. And what if they did like it?"
Actually Nora is just humoring Phil whom, we have to say at this
point, is an undercover bi-sexual. He tries to persuade her
repeatedly to have anal sex, which Nora refuses as being a
disgraceful and painful style. Nevertheless, why ruin a
lovemaking night by making unpleasant remarks before getting
laid? So Phil was now smiling, rxed and he
did with her what Sergio from the short story with the same title
by
the
Losta Sican young writer
we will refer to him for the sake of space as
did with the young prostitute which he took an
immediate liking to and we were not told what they did, so why
should we say what this other couple did?! Don't we know all?
Don't we always skip the love making scenes in novels and get to
the point: what is the American policy concerning beavers? So we
skip love making, and just for analyzing these Eastern European
characters we go on with reporting their movie going.
They went to a French movie in which a prostitute, innocent and
goodhearted, takes in a homeless guy who makes her have a
revStellation** through back penetration in the position called
'the bitch' and she asks him to be his pimp which he accepts,
washes, dresses smartly, and when their financial situation
blooms he goes about town meeting other women. The end is not
important, for when he gets into prison our couple left the
cinema and went straight home and tried to repeat the above
mentioned position. No revtion was provoked
except that Nora remembered how similar her marital bliss was
with that of the sexual worker who, after her sad experience with
the cheat pimp, turned into an un-paid sexual worker, that is a
wife. Nora recalled that her husband was as helpless as this
young Frenchman of a husband who couldn't find work and was far
from the protective provider type Eastern European women are
taught to look for in a husband. What I wanted to say is that
Nora remembered that, not in the least troubled, how during her
marriage she twice fantasized other men.
One was the first American she had ever met. He told her he was a
fan and his shirt was temperature proofed and his smile was up to
his ears. He didn't go to bed with her because he said he cared
about her husband too much. But he went to bed with Nora's
girlfriend who kept on telling her how caring he was and bought
him a watch as a birthday present.
The other one she was attracted to was her boss on the building
site who one day after much flirtation came to work in an elegant
suit and gray long coat, with a white silk shawl . He was washing
his black shoes in a rain pound. He asked Nora to run away into
the large world with him, but she told him he should watch his
glasses which might fall into the pound. One night they stayed at
a fire light and consummated their romance, better said trying
hard to, because it proved their dimensions didn't want to
cooperate. That is to say she was small and he was big, not that
she was big and he was small. Different people have different
problems, dear reader. Then another day she better looked at him
when his hat was not on and she saw a meat excrescence like a
cauliflower on the top of his head, hidden in the hair. She
couldn't believe it was real but she had to face it and somehow
the romance faded.
Why did she remember all this? Because she started to think that
she actually envied her boyfriend for having the emotional
availability for more than one person at a time. Or maybe because
she admired him for being more sincere with himself than she was.
With the last film they went to, this thought fully emerged. The
film was about French couples. About some men who were going out
with several women, then about a woman going out with a man, but
living with another one, then a painter who met a woman on the
street he felt was the love of his life and managed to talk to
her for ten minutes, but she was married and was just a passer
by...
At the dinner that followed this movie Nora gave a speech most
unusual for her usually permanent considerate care of building up
sexual tension. She told Phil loudly about past loves after her
marriage break and until she met him [TO BE PROVIDED UPON
TUTORIAL REQUEST]*** and though Phil's face was obviously growing
longer and longer and his comments showed annoyance and
uneasiness, she went on and on getting back to her childhood and
told him she was in love when three year old, [TBPUTR] and saw a
mature rooster at four, [TBPUTR] and had sort of a group sex at
about the same age, [TBPUTR] and made love for the first time at
three [TBPUTR]. And that all this bullshit about children's
innocence had to be shattered and she would write about it.
"You just invent it," he said while taking the plates
to the sink. "As you invented your 18 year old gang
rape."
She was surprised by his reaction. She thought this was how he
wanted her to speak for so many years, and now that she made the
progress at last he worked so much upon, he shut her down, by
saying she invented it!
Oh! Lord! The path towards truth is windy.

years. But to our surprise it catches up fast! People started to
talk about G-spots and anal sex.)
