uction of Natsumi's friends.
Alexandra and I returned to the room where our friends were after talking for
a little while longer. Natsumi Abe returned to Natsumi's table, and I returned to mine.
Bobby said something about, "Gee, too bad you can't go out with any of them."
"Would you like to meet three of them?" I asked. Not waiting for the
obvious answer, I walked over to Alexandra's table. Much to my friends'
amazement, Alexandra, Julie, and Nancy got up and joined us. Alexandra and I
introduced everybody, and the conversation took off. Bobby mentioned my
impending marriage (what a shithead!), and Alexandra said, "I know. He told
me. His fiancee is out of town. We were only talking and playing pinball.
I like playing pinball." Alexandra shrugged. "What can I say?"
Gender alternated around the table. Julie sat next to Bryan, while Nancy
sat next to Bobby. The distance between Bryan's and Julie's chairs closed
discreetly. I enjoyed the surprised look on Bryan's face when he realized
that Julie was getting awful close to him. Jul
