“Whatever I can find, I guess. I was workin’ on the counter at the Department of Motor Vehicles back home.” I shook my head and laughed. “It was the job from hell.” I looked from one woman to another and said, “I want a job now that pays big money, is easy, and involves dealin’ with some fun people.”
Rosalee clicked her teeth and snorted. “Other than a hit man, a star, or a gangster, ain’t too many jobs like that.”
“A pretty woman like you can make a lot of money,” Ester advised, tapping her fingers on the battered coffee table, giving me a strange look. Her eyes were wide and shiny, making her look like a Spanish doll. And she was as pretty as one with her apple cheeks, upturned nose, and long dark hair. She couldn’t have been more than five feet tall, but she had a tight, round little body that jiggled when she walked. “I bet you—”
“Shhhh,” Rockelle cut Ester off. Rising and buttoning her jacket, she looked at her watch again. “Uh, you look tired, Lula,” she noticed. “Ester and I’ll haul ass before you pass out.” Rockelle beckoned for Ester to follow, and they strutted out the door.
Rosalee gave me another beer, a blanket, and two flat pillows.
“Try to get some sleep. You’ll feel better in the mornin’,” she predicted, squeezing my shoulder. “You got somethin’ to sleep in?”
“Yeah.” I nodded toward my suitcases sitting on the floor by the door. “I’ll sleep in my clothes tonight, if you don’t mind,” I said, sliding off my shoes. “I appreciate you lettin’ me stay here. I won’t give you no trouble,” I mumbled as I stretched out on the couch.
“Oh, I ain’t worried about you givin’ me no trouble,” Rosalee told me, heading out of the room. “I’ll leave the light on. You can turn it off when you want to.”
I glanced at the suitcases Bo and I had brought with us. Tears rolled down the side of my face. I didn’t sleep at all that night.
