Maria's a kind girl. A good girl who does the wash for her Mama on Sundays. She pays
her Papa's bills once a month. Surely her need for consistancy and loyalty
can overlook a weak jaw and crooked posture.
Maria's a smart girl. She knows to hold her head up late at night. She knows plastic beats paper in this city of perpetual rains. She should realize the security of a hard working
shop clerk could could keep her in 40 percent discounts for life.
Maria's a sexy girl. Her chocolate silk hair and splendidly lean legs remind the men what a dream making love could be. If she could give him one chance, he would be just as
delicious as long as the lights stay off.
So maybe, just maybe, tonight may be the night. She may come to her senses,lightning may strike the pole, she may beg.
"Sir Domonico,put your dollars away and please touch me for free.";
trading eight inch stilettos for a sensible pair of
wedding pumps.
