Scandalous reputation

I’ve been a bad bad girl
I’ve been careless
With a delicate man
And it’s a sad sad world
When a girl will break a boy
Just because she can
–Fiona Apple/Criminal

The other night on Tequila Hill, Sandra was asking about my recent beach trip, envious of my tan, and she asked “how did you get lucky enough to go on a trip with three cute guys?”

I pointed out that it was three cute guys and a beautiful woman. And they came with me because I invited them. I mean, it wasn’t rocket science. If I hadn’t invited anyone, no one would have come with me. Funny how that works. Really, really funny that it actually took me a long time to figure that out.

Then I was thinking about it, like you do, and it occurred to me that on the first night of the trip, it was just me alone with Kyle and Rocky at the cabin. Yes. I spent the night alone in an isolated beach cabin with two men.

Is my reputation getting ruined yet?

It isn’t?

Damn.

Full disclosure, to protect the boys’ reputations–none of us slept in the same bed. Hell, Rocky didn’t even sleep inside the house!

What would be worse for our collective reputations–if all three of us slept in the same bed or that none of us did?

Just wondering.

In the not too distant past, staying in the cabin alone with one or more bachelors would have been quite a scandal even if there were no sexual hijinks. My reputation would have been ruined. Probably there’d have been a shotgun wedding. I wonder who’d have been forced to marry me???

On the other hand, my reputation would have already been ruined because I am already, as they say, a woman with a past. So I likely would not have been worth forcing a wedding. The boys would probably have been safe from my clutches.

Relatively safe.

I hardly ever harm a boy on purpose.

Maybe I should start…
