No Fucking  Way

" He fucked you?" Teresa never held back.
"Shhh" I said nervously glancing around us " The correct term is made love to."
"No fucking way!  Did it hurt?"
"A little bit, but I was drunk, so it kinda relaxed me."
"On the patio of your restaurant?  You are such a slut."
" It was my first time, give me a break."
"I will never let Richard do that to me, ever"  Richard is her husband.  
"Well it's not that bad.  But God didn't give me a vagina. Or did he?"  I held my forefinger to my lips.  This always made Teresa laugh.  We met again for our usual Lunch date.  El Toritos in Valencia.  I didn't tell her about David and I.  I was a bit embarrassed.  I was sort of friendless in Los Angeles.  Plus I didn't want her to start inviting me to her straight gatherings.  
     I told her everything about Javier, and I do mean everything.  It's always fun to have a Fag Hag.  But Teresa did what no other Fag Hag has done.  She found herself a man, and got married.  She never had that unrequited love that so many hags do.  She never thought of me as more than a friend.  Thinking back on that, it's kinda depressing.  What the hell was wrong with me?  Why wasn't she attracted to me?
     What can I tell you about Teresa?  She's thirty years old.  She teaches the 4th grade.  She looks like Sandra Bullock, and she has a mouth like a truck driver.  Since David is gone, she has officially moved up to "Best Friend" status.  Whether she likes it or not.
" You know " she said, dipping her chip in the salsa " I always knew you'd be a bottom"
" Shut up.  Bitch" this response caused her to semi-choke on her chip.
" No seriously.  You're more the romantic type."
" Javier's romantic, and he's not a bottom"
" Okay, you're more sensitive"
" That's just stupid " It was my turn to dip my chip in the salsa.
" Okay, how about this, you're just a flaming faggot"  This time I choked on my chip, while she laughed.  But her joke nearly killed me, because the chip wouldn't dislodge.  My eyes teared up and I couldn't breathe.  I'm sure my face too became blue.  Finally Teresa came behind me and slapped my back really hard.  The chip became loose and I swallowed it.  For a girl, she hit's pretty damn hard.
" Damn Teresa, that fucking hurt!"
" I'm sorry" she said holding back laughter. " Geez, you'd think with your ability to suck cock.  That chip should of went down easier"  this too almost made me die, from embarrassment.
" Oh before I forget " she grabbed my hand " I need a terrific favor from you "
" What" I said very suspiciously.
" I need you to speak to my class, in two weeks.  It's career day.  I need you to give a speech about your job."
" But I hate my job"
" I know.  I'm thinking this will be a good lesson for them.  To have them see what could happen, if they don't go to college."  Did I mention Teresa could be mean?  Sadly, she wasn't joking either.
     We finished our lunch and went our separate ways.  On the drive home to Sherman Oaks, I started to think maybe I shouldn't have agreed to speak to her class.  Ahh, I shouldn't worry.  Their eight years old.  Harmless little kids.  Then why am I so nervous?  Do you ever get so nervous that you feel like you have diaherra? No? Uh, me neither.
