Arrives at Lucy’s The Match
Fade In
David sits at his computer scanning the online dating site
like a trained hunter. He sees this tall, seductive but funky looking woman of
about 50 and looking very indifferent. Kinda smug. Posing like a hotter version
of Faye Dunaway in Bonnie and Clyde” but so very obviously intelligent and also
streety. Tall too. Great looking
body. David wonders out loud “Is she hot
or not”?
His 62 year old trained eyes coupled with years of dating
experience do not tell him a story. She could be a good one but probably isn’t”
She’s probably not worth trying to meet he decides. Then, he goes back to look
at her and reads her profile her again. Then again he reconsiders.
“Divorced, self employed, no kids living at home” her
profile states. She seems so unaffected, uncaring about whether she gets any
attention or not, as if she were forced onto the site by a friend or daughter.
David mumbles bullshit probably to himself.
However, worth an email to her he decides.

David “Hi. Check my profile and pictures and see whatcha
think. Maybe we could talk? Sincerely David”
Fade Out To Lucys Apt
“This blows” she tells Deborah , her friend who convinced
her to pay and get on match.com, the online meat market. “ I keep getting emails from babies and
idiots “ This is not where I want to be”. She points at her computer and shows
Debbie a mountain of emails that have come from men all over who fired off
their best lines her.
Lucy”Look at this guy” she taunts and tells Debbie that they
both should go out for a drink and waste
no more time..
Then, as an afterthought Lucy glances at her match.com inbox
one more time and sees an email from David. She checks his profile information.
“What does this dope have to say she asks Debbie?
Lucy reads profile, “divorced, still working, no kids at
home” lives nearby. She looks at his pictures. No big deal but interesting..
Certainly not an appropriate fit for her cavalry of old
boyfriends. She wonders, “can this grey haired somewhat weird looking but maybe
slightly sexy guy make her wild libido explode. Like the first boyfriend she
had after she left her nice Jewish, but
very boring lawyer husband for.”
It took Johnny Loren, ex lightweight world champion boxer to
finally give her the animal, insatiable sexual fulfillment she had tried to
bury with booze, parties, and many partners
. There was a 25 year history of relationships with all
kinds of black, Hispanic and every other kind of man who could recite poetry
and fuck at the same time.
But, all that was over and the pickings were slim.
Alcoholism had wiped out most of her following except for the cadre of loyal
friends, men and women who wanted her all the time in some way but who only
served to amuse Lucy.
Lucy“ Ok deb,” I’m ready to go out but hang on? I’m gonna
write this David guy back. “I have nothing happening tomorrow night and I am
curious” she smirked.”

Lucy “Maybe we could meet for a drink tomorrow night. Here

David looks at his match.com emails and sees the Bonnie and Clyde person. It is Lucy who had written back.”
David picks up the phone.
“Hi. This is David, the guy from match. How are you?
Lucy-fine. Just dancing around the place. She sounded tipsy.
David-“Would you like to meet tomorrow night for a drink’?
Lucy ‘that’s what I had in mind”
Lucy “how about the Ritz bar on rush st?
David “Fine. I look just like my picture David says?
Lucy“Really? Wow” “That’s exciting” sarcasm dripping from
her already.
Lucy- 7.30, ok?
David“I’ll be there”
Fade to Interior of Bar
David sits outside bar not seeing Lucy. Finally, he goes
inside and sits at the bar next to this very Slavic looking, tall and sexy
woman with a great face and red hair.
Lucy“are you David?’ “
David-“Yes” You’re Lucy.”
Lucy-“Uh, yeah, I have been sitting here”.
Lucy-“Are you always in such a daze?
David”Not always”
David-“ I just didn’t know you were here already”.
Lucy-“Obviously” she retorts but with sweet amusement.

Sizing each other up
David is swept away by the obvious beauty and salty
personality of this new person. He tries to read Lucy but cannot.
Then, she smiles at him and says she would like to sit down
in a small, intimate, booth in the back of this empty bar owned by her friend.
Interior little booth
She looked at this tall guy with black glasses and an
athletic body and was very attracted. He had this face that she found uniquely
beautiful. Her mind danced and skipped at a furious pace. He was no wild crazy
stud but he did it for her immediately like no one she had ever met before. She
could hardly contain herself as they sat together in the little booth. Being
the worlds most impulsive woman she wanted to start kissing him right away.
Lucy “I want an Italian Beef sandwich.” Will you take me?
David-“Sure”

David and Lucy exchange their first kiss with beef juice
dripping from both their lips. It was

Lucy “ I have to walk my dog”.
David-“Ok”
Interior Davids Car
As we got back into my car Lucy went wild with passion. All
she wanted to do was kiss me as we swerved long the most dangerous area of a Chicago expresswway. It
was a dream”
David-Where am I going”
Lucy-“ Turn there. No. not there. There That’s right.
Lucy-Jesus. “No sense of direction for a guy”
Interior Car-Near lucys condo
David-“ what kind of dog do you have?
Lucy-“A Doberman
David- I’m freaked out totally”
Lucy.”Your body is wet from sweat. You look white as a
sheep”
David-“I have had a terrible fear of dogs in general my
whole life and particularly, Pit Bulls, Dobermans, German Shepards They are
dogs I would always cross the street to avoid.
“Lucy-Well, get past
it”
David’No. I cant”
David“I am never going in your house. Ever,”
Lucy-“OK”
She just seemed to not hear me and kept trying kissing me.
Lucy-“You can stay downstairs in your car while I walk him”
Lucy-“I”ll come back.
Lucy”Then we can kiss some more”.
Lucy-“I don’t not want the night to end..
Davids Car-Lucy leaving to go walk the dog
David- “ok”
I was determined to stay in the car.
Lucy “why don’t you just get out of the car and stand
downstairs by the stoop and you can go for a walk with us. That might make you
less afraid. Sitting in your car won’t do anything”
David “that’s ok I said, “I’ll stay right here.
Lucy started to get out of the car. I sat there feeling like
a coward. I knew I would have to face the dog sometime because this was
probably going to be a romance.
David “wait Lucy”. “Does the Doberman bite?” “
Lucy-“Yes, I have had to pay off several people she bit
already.”
David-“Well, will she be ok with me?”
Lucy”I don’t know” she answered in her brutally honest and
unwavering style.”
Lucy-“, You pussy”Cmon’ She motioned to follow her up to the
stoop outside her apartment.
David-“ Ok.You got me”
David trips on the curb going toward Lucys.
Lucy-Jesus, “I cant take my eyes off you for a minute”.
David-“Not so smooth, huh”?
Lucy-“Your lips are.”
For whatever thinking went through me I decided to defy a
lifelong fear and throw caution to the wind. I followed Lucy upstairs into the
dark house instead of staying downstairs. I was certain would get mauled by
this Doberman protecting Lucy.
I was scared beyond words. So scared that the fear left me
frozen in large part as I stood in the housed waiting for the dog to sink its
teeth into me and tear me apart. It did not happen. The dog only sniffed me. We went downstairs
and walked the dog.

Lucy-“Sweetie is her name”

I made it through the walk unscathed. Terrified.

Lucy talks to Dick someone, a publisher.
Lucy-“Ya know Dick, that article you wrote was just great.
But I don’t see how the Polish government will pull that off “
The conversation with Lucy and her friend who I thought was
hitting on her went on and on. Finally. although I was so new and just a guest
at this fancy dinner where she was speaking about her films in Poland to all
these distinguished people I could not stand being ignored by her for so long
while she spoke to one person after another.
David “this is so rude. I cannot understand why you are
ignoring me?
Lucy-“ You?
Lucy-“What are you a baby ?”
Lucy-“You need constant attention?”
Lucy “”Stop whining”? I am doing business.”
David“I am pissed”. “You are being rude to me”
Lucy looked both angry and amused at my temerity. We had our
first argument but it didn’t last.
Lucy-“You’re sick she smiled as we left”
Lucy-“I’ll buy you some toys”

A few days later we had our second date. She came to my
apartment. I started to show her pictures of my three kids, the wallpaper, the
view and she just didn’t care. She kissed me again and again. She was
indifferent. She literally threw me onto my king sized bed. I looked up at her
irresistible body and face as she stood over me ready to devour me. We made
wild love that day and stayed in bed for about 2 months afterward with
breathers for food, movies, and a little work. It was the sex I had dreamed of
my whole life but never thought peoplke did it except in the movies or in
books. We made love for 5 hours.

Interior of David’s Car
Lucy asked me if I wanted to go to this guy Paul Scott’s
summer house over the weekend after we made up She promised a big house on the
beach in Michigan and a bunch of other people who would all go there and have a
good time eating, drinking, and relaxing. The plan was that I would pick up
Lucy and her sister Linda at Lucys house at 11.30 am on a Friday and we would
take a nice leisurely drive of about an hour and a half to go to Paul’s house.
More people would be coming. I was excited. Lucy promised a nice easy trip. No
hassles, A loving weekend which
should have tipped me off. It was truly
the nightmare weekend from hell.
Lucy- “you were supposed to be here at 11.30”
David- “So. Its 12 o clock.}}”
David- Is 30 minutes with nothing to do a disaster?
Lucy-“Yes”
David-“I’m sorry”
Lucy-“gee, sorry again” sorry sorry sorry”
Lucy- “what is there that you ever do that you’re not sorry
about?”
We all get in my car which Lucy decides she will drive
because I do not drive well enough to suit her. I get into the back seat and
her sister Linda, one of of America’s
miserable people, sits in the front. I might of well have been a prisoner who
had raped a child in the company of two sadistic guards who hated me and could
barely stand to have me in the car. Their anger and contempt was so intense.
They talked and talked to each other only. The closest Lucy
got to talking to me or even paying attention to me was glancing in her rear
view mirror once every twenty five minutes to see if I hopefully had fallen out
of the car.
Linda, who hardly knew me, was in her evil heaven with me in
solitary confinement. She quietly delighted that I was being totally ignored by
Lucy and easily took the queue. The two sisters chatted about everything you
could imagine as we drove along the hwy. I tried to be part of the conversation
many times. No. No one cared bout anything I had to say at all. I couldn’t
believe that my treatment could be so rotten. Lucy and I were falling apart in
chunks and these was just a few months after we were ready to move in together,
get married, and stay in bed forever needing no one else in the world.
Now, I had been reduced to an unwanted passenger in route to
a weekend of fun which Lucy did not even want me to be part of.
Lucy-There’s this real good lunch place called Gigios that
Paul told me us to eat at.
Linda-Fine.
Lucy-“they have great hamburgers.”
David-“I know of this fifties type diner that is great” It’s
called Pennys.
Lucy-“we already know where were going”
didn’t you hear what I just said?”
David- (Pissed) I want to go to Pennys”
It will be my
highlight of this fine ride
Lucy-“lets go there Linda He’s a baby but maybe the place is
good.”
Linda-Fine. We find Pennys diner
Lucy-“David, we’ll
get out in front and you park the car”
David ” Nice of you to give me something to do.
Lucy- “see if you can avoid hitting another car. Also, see
if you can get back to this crappy little joint without getting lost. I don’t
want to have to go find you.”
David-“the place is only across from a parking lot
Lucy-“that’s far
enough to confuse you”
Interior restaurant
The three of us sitting at a table
Waitress-“what will you guys have?”
Everyone orders but I start to chat up the waitress thinking
being cute will get me some redemption from the mental abuse being inflicted by
Lucy’s continual silence and mean sarcasm. I showed the waitress a little hand
sanitizer that I had been selling many of. I sell advertising specialties
David- to waitress-“stick out your hand’
She does and I squirt the sanitizer spray into the
waitress’s hands. Lucy rolls her eyes as her sister just looks on nodding no
expression. Her mean face continually says it all to everyone.
Waitress-“that’s really cute”
David-“show it to your boss. My number is on it”
Waitress “ok”
waitress walks away to other customers
Lucy-Did you have to do that? “You know how uncomfortable
you make me feel when you hustle your garbage around me.” Why are you so dopey”
David-“I hustle good”
Lucy-“Really good. That’s why you have no money”
David-“I’m trying”
Lucy- “like you tried to pick us up at 11.30 and show up at
12. or try to talk to my friends or try to drive right”.
David- “So, whats the big deal?”
Lucy-“The big deal was that you ruined this whole weekend
already”
David- “over being late half an hour”?
Lucy-it’s cumulative. “You are a blazen.
David-“whats that”
Lucy-“A deer in the headlights”
Lucy ” Your dick is your only asset”
David-“wow”
Lucy-“Lets go or do you want to try to sell something to
another store as long as were here
David-“Funny”
Lucy to Linda- “It’s sad”
We pull up to Pauls beautiful summer home. I am still
getting ignored as I walk around this massive house and check it out. Lucy
announces she will be going to the beach with her sister
I say “I think I’ll just stay in and watch TV”
Lucy –“that is a great idea”. Why don’t you just take a nap until the next morning?
I follow Lucy and Linda down to the beach about a half hour
later.
I’m feeling like I need strong medication for post traumatic
stress disorder.
We all layed on beach chairs together. Naturally, no one is
talking to me. The sisters just chat away as if I was not there. I start to get
bored after about an hour on the beach.
I get up and get
ready to go back to the summer house.
David- “I'm going in”
Lucy-“Can you find your way there she spits back, tuned into
her automatic sarcasm mode”
David- “No. I don’t think so. Want come back with me? Maybe
we can get a quickie in before anyone even notices”
Lucy- why don’t you go in the bathroom and beat off. You
like that better anyway.
I go back to the house and watch TV.
Dinner
About 7 different people are sitting around before dinner
talking about old times. Again, I am not included in the conversation. Everyone
thee is old friends from Lucy’s home town of Berwyn
If you ever heard of Berwyn
that is the rough, mean area near Chicago where Al Capone ruled Chicago from.
It is made up primarily of hard core two fisted drinkers,
fighters, and wife beaters. Becoming a mechanic after growing up in Berwyn is like becoming a
brain surgeon or rocket scientist from where I grew up. Lucy's charm and her
brutality were honed by her upbringing in Berwyn.
With all of her worldly accomplishment in film making and writing the Berwyn girl is still in
her. She is tough. And, she is mad at me.
For what? Because I was half an hour late picking up her and
her sweet sister up? And a few other mistakes in her mind.
We all have a nice dinner made by Paul Scott and his wife.
Our hosts.
We sit around and then the whole group gets tired at about
11 pm. Lucy and I have a cute room with individual beds downstairs by the
kitchen.
I sneakily swallow down a big Viagra as we get ready for
bed. I feel the great big hard on arriving as I lay down in Terrys bed. I
figure redemption is still possible. Also, despite everything Lucy is the
hottest, sexiest woman on earth. I will sweep her away with passion like usual
and then she will sweeten up. I crawl into her bed and push my rod against her
rear end as I wrap my arms around her and pull her towards me.
Lucy- “Not here she shrieks”
David-“Why not, No one is around”
Lucy-“they’ll hear Just go to sleep. I m not in the mood
anyway”
David-“Why not? You always are. I think to myself that this
is really going to be a grim unsalvageable situation”.
Lucy-“I’m tired”.
I go into my own bed and hope that tomorrow will be better.
David-“This problem with us is only about being late picking
you up?”
Lucy-“No”. “It’s about my poor choices in men And your
general style blazen. Goodnight”.
We both go to sleep. First I quietly wacky off very silently
so the new ice maiden won't hear. After all I have this big Viagra dick with no
Lucy to use it on. I get away with it without her hearing. I think. At about
3am I wake up. I’m starving and I am naked also. I walk over to the kitchen and
open the refrigerator door. I look at a great selection of cookies and deli
meats. Perfect. I am finally happy but only for a second. Next to me at the
refrigerator is Lucy
Lucy-“What re you doing?”
David-“Getting something to eat”
Lucy-“You’re naked and standing at a strangers refrigerator
in the middle of the night she asks incredulously
David”Yeah I say, not thinking very much of it.
Lucy-“people don’t do that”
David-“I do”
Lucy—“your obviously not people I am realizing quickly”.
David-“I’m hungry I say grabbing at some salami.”
Lucy-“Get your hands off that and go back to bed you idiot.
She is raging mad. We are nose to nose standing at that refrigerator.”
She is not joking in her rage at me. I am still hungry not
thinking that anyone would care about me eating some food while the whole house
is upstairs and asleep. Being naked never occurred to me.
Lucy “Get back in bed she snaps and glares at me like I was
a housebroken dog who had just shit on the floor.
I go back to bed.

David-You can think about minding
your own business Linda. “It’s me and Lucy with the problem

They make fast and wild love as Sophie watches.
David-“So, what about Sophie when you leave?’
Lucy-“I’m going to give her away. I will find someone.”
David-“I think it would be better to put her down then give
her to anyone. No one on earth can handle her. You know that”
Lucy-“I would never put her down David”
David-Why?
David[“Then she would
be at peace and so would we. Think about that versus not knowing how a stranger
will handle her or that he won’t mistreat her. She loves you and me only. She can’t
be anywhere else but here.”
