Part V: Snakes (Chapter 96)
I have never forgiven Mother for phoning Johnny Lawrence that night. Or Johnny for breaking the spell.
Not that it made any difference in the long run. I
moved in with Snake the next day, and we lived together for three months – that
is, until Snake’s bad acid trip.
But that’s another story.
Still, something was lost, a wedding night gone
awry. No matter how many times I make love in my lifetime, I’ll never recapture
the heat of that thwarted first time, the one time I would have truly given
myself over to another person.
Even after Snake and I did get together, our love making never reached the same crescendo.
