Capítulo 10: Chapter 10

As I drove to Neil’s house, I blasted the radio to silence the doubts in my head. I am a black woman engaged to a black man, but I am heading to a white man’s house I have laid eyes on only one time, to watch a movie. The option of having sex could also arise as part of tonight's get-together.

My pondering soon took a backseat to DJ Ambitious kicking off his usual Saturday set, Origins. The show involved him playing a song, say ‘Flashlight’ by Parliament Funkadelic, then play every song which sampled it. One time, I swear his entire four-hour program featured “Sex Machine” by James Brown.
