Dear Red Shoe, if it had happened to someone else, I'd probably have found it

quite amusing too.

But even now, when I think about it, I can't say that it didn't shake me up.

Here's my problem.

A simple problem.

A very old problem.

Tell me, I have something to tell you.

Audrey and I are to be met.

I should say I had a problem.

Or I should say I finally realized that I could do nothing.

About the problem I have.

To champagne!

I was crazy about him, who was, of course, my boyfriend.

20 years old and good looking.

I mean, really good looking.

And all that testosterone inside of him, it makes a person do crazy

shit.

Like the time he went ballistic over this mistress of his father's, who sort

lived with him.

when I was growing up.

She recently showed back up in his life, or I should say in his father's life.

She was beautiful, seriously beautiful.

And she like invaded his fantasies at an early age.

If I knew him, he'd probably peek through the keyhole while she was taking

bath. Some stuff like that.

Testosterone stuff.

Oh, Celeste.

I'm so sorry.

Don't be silly.

You change so much.

You look wonderful.

You look wonderful, too.

Thank you.

You're still one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen in my life.

Don't be silly.

It's true.

All those fantasies.

Here, let me help.

What a mess.

I've always wanted to do that.

And, of course, he just couldn't resist.

So he took his best shot and, um...

Of course, this mistress of his father, the older woman, resisted.

But he persisted.

Study? All of a sudden you want to study?

Your exams aren't for a week.

I haven't opened the book all semester.

Will I see you for dinner?

Answer me.

Actually, I was thinking of staying at home. I need to work.

I need to think.

Need to work, need to think.

You are full of shit.

No, I'm not. Yes, you are. No, I'm not. Yes.

What I'm saying is that having a 20 -year -old

boyfriend is like raising a child.

You have to love him unconditionally and let him go and make his mistake.

Oh, Celeste.

Adriana. Adriana, Celeste.

Hello.

Don't worry.

I belong to his father.

Really?

We were together when Jamie was a little boy.

Sorry for being such a bitch, but in case you haven't heard, Jamie's not to

trusted.

That's why I love him.

If I stay, you'll try to get us into bed together.

What she says isn't true.

I would never share you with anyone.

Where are you going?

Home.

I bet you didn't know it, but all my childhood fantasies were about you.

Every single one of them.

In my mind, I must have made love to you a million times.

And on Christmas vacations, when I came home from school, I'd watch you perform,

and afterward, I'd follow you at a distance.

Until the end of the night.

You had no idea, did you?

I was, uh, possessed.

And all those fantasies.

Testosterone is testosterone.

Seriously.

But maybe I should tell you the attributes of having a younger love.

No,

not necessary.

Oh, I'm just a sweeter brat.

Softer skin.

Firmer body.

Should I continue?

You made your point.

Not yet.

Can I come in?

No.

I went crazy

about him.

So what I did was I just realized that he was going to do what he was going to

do.

The more he persisted, the more flattered she became.

You know, this young, beautiful guy wanting her more than life itself.

She looked at him and said, Dan, why not?

Jungle fever.

Tell me again the advantages of having a younger lover.

It would be much easier for me to demonstrate.

Repeat after me.

Celeste is my teacher.

I would do...

Celeste is my teacher.

I will do as she says.

I will do as she asks.

Could be it was an estrogen kind of thing. When I'm her age, I'll probably

the same thing.

Why not?

Perfect.

Perfect.

For now.

What else is there?

I've said something to make you sad.

It's my nature happy one moment I'll change You

already

Don't call me and

don't send me flowers

He was convinced he was in love with her.

Which should have pissed me off.

And it did kind of piss me off.

You see?

I don't even sleep with him.

Why should I?

Would you?

You were wonderful.

I would really not to see each other again.

I love you.

No, you don't. I always have.

I know it's stupid, but I can't help myself.

You've ruined me for everyone else.

And now that we've been together, I don't think I can live without you. I

don't.

Jimmy, I'm going to step out of the theater, and you're going to let me go.

Anytime.

Take your flowers.

I could say I saw it for what it was.

Wonderful and sublime.

Something... To rejoin me.

Oh,

hello. Good to see you.

Jimmy has something to tell you.

Aji and I are to be married.

Oh.

That's wonderful.

She knows all about us.

Oh, really?

I had no one else to turn to.

It was true love for you, but I fell in love with him.

Does that make any sense to you?

Why not?

Love.

I'm talking about love.

What I'm talking about is love.

L -O -V -E.

If someone can fall passionately, selflessly in love with one person, That

means they can love somebody else, right?

Never thought about it that way, but... I mean, it's like you. Either can love

or you can't. L -O -V -E.

To love or not to love.

That's the question.

Tell me, does your father know about it?

Fuck his father.

Most of the women he goes out with...

guys up in the first place wasn't it older men with younger women that's all

fine and dandy switch it around

I'm sorry.

Anger, jealousy, rage, insecurity.

No way.

Not me.

Beautiful, isn't it?

He loves her and I love him.

And he loves me and I love her.

And she loves you and you love her.

At least you would if she were my age.

I'll be outside.

I think we should talk about this.

You might think I'm a flower child, but I'm not.

I'm a practical child.

One who's in it for the long haul.

I suppose you don't expect me to apologize to you.

It's my fault.

No, Jamie.

No, it's important for him to know.

I'm not out to prove anything. I'm just crazy about her. I always have been.

You understand?

He loves you, and I love you.

She loves him, and he loves her.

Someone told me this story.

I'm sure I'd find it quite amusing.

Check back with me in ten years or so, and I'll tell you.

if my little philosophy worked or not.

He loves her, and I love you.

She loves him, and he loves her.

I am so confused.
