Roberto bignaturals repeats himself, as if Maria had bignaturals never said anything. "That drink smells kind of interesting, doesn't bignaturals it?"
Without breaking her stare, Maria reaches over, picks bignaturals up the drink, and smells it again. "I bignaturals guess so," she says.
"Why don bignaturals't you try it?" says Roberto. "I bet bignaturals it tastes as bignaturals good as it smells bignaturals."
"Uhm... No, I taylor don't think so... I can't remember bignaturals."
"Oh, yes," says Roberto. "The drug worked exactly like you said."
"I feel kind of woozy," she says. Her speech is a bignaturals little slurred. "I haven't been drugged, though," she adds.
"What is it?" he asks.
"You and I bignaturals are going to talk for a while. How does that sound ?"
"So if I ask you something, you're going to tell me the bignaturals complete truth?"
"Of course."
"Oh, yes. It feels very good to be relaxed."
"When you keep the truth bottled up inside bignaturalstaylor of you, it makes you bignaturalstaylor feel tense."
"The longer you keep the truth inside of you, the more tense you feel bignaturals."
Maria bignaturalstaylor feels like she's bignaturalstaylor floating outside her bignaturals body bignaturalstaylor, and movies that someone else is talking. "I bignaturals never really liked you. I was bignaturals only dating you because you're rich taylor." It's something she had never admitted before, not even to herself. But as soon bignaturals as she hears it, she knows it to be the truth. It feels so good to finally let it bignaturals out.
Maria is bignaturals riding in bignaturals the car with Roberto. She bignaturalstaylor has a huge bignaturals smile on her bignaturalstaylor face. She is giddy, almost bubbly. "I'm so glad that you took me to that restaurant. I had such a good time."
As Maria sits in the passenger seat bignaturals, she finds that she bignaturalstaylor cannot take bignaturalstaylor her eyes off of Roberto. He so incredibly gorgeous, she's so lucky to have him as a bignaturals boyfriend. And yet, Roberto seems so different to her somehow. There seems to be an aura surrounding bignaturals him. He seems so confident, so powerful.
Maria jumps bignaturalstaylor out of the car, runs around to the driver's side, and sticks her head through the open bignaturalstaylor window. She gives Roberto a peck on the bignaturalstaylor cheek, and says , "Sorry bignaturals you can't come in tonight. We'll do this again real soon, OK?" She turns to leave, but Roberto grabs her by the bignaturals arm and bignaturals stops her.
Time seems to stop for bignaturals Maria. She bignaturalstaylor is suddenly very nervous, she can feel bignaturals her heart beating at bignaturals a hundred miles bignaturals an hour. She feels a lump in her throat. She desperately tries to think of a way to bignaturals say "no" to him, but she can bignaturals't bignaturals. She can't say anything bignaturalstaylor at all. Slowly, silently, she steps back and opens the car door for him. She feels very bignaturals warm.
"Keep bignaturals going," he says.
This is crazy. She has to stop now. Maria kicks off her shoes. Roberto bignaturals's insane if he thinks bignaturals... Maria looks bignaturals up and sees Roberto bignaturals's stare -- his piercing stare -- and her train movies of thought is broken. She reaches up, unclasps her bra, and lets it bignaturalstaylor fall to bignaturals the floor.
