Click hereThat fall, besides getting serious about my studies again, I changed my appearance. I got a bob cut for my hair, and I got some decent clothes to replace the teenage bad girl look I had been sporting. Paul really loved me, the first guy who ever did, and it seemed idyllic.
So what went wrong with him? Well, I got arrogant. Without really thinking about it, I started to assume that I could arrange a bigger, better deal for myself.
Like other things in my life, it seemed to happen by accident. I was on Convent Avenue when a guy pulled up in a Triumph Stag convertible. He said, "Hey, honey, can I give you a ride to the subway?" I had to top that, "You can take me a lot further than that if you want to."
It turned out that his name was Greg, just like my first customer the year before. He had come up to the school to visit one of his old professors. He was twenty-eight, and he had a good job down on Wall Street. I started dating him and I dumped Paul.
I admit that I had gotten more than a bit full of myself. I figured that Paul was very sweet, but why should I be going with a young liberal arts student with no prospects when I could get a better arrangement for myself? Paul didn't even have a car then, much less a Triumph Stag. He didn't have his own place either, and he had become dependent on going to the house in Maspeth to see me.
Probably I didn't handle it very well. I just abruptly disappeared from Paul's life. When he caught up with me, I announced that I was leaving him for someone else and I didn't want to discuss it further than that.
His feelings were hurt, but he bounced back pretty quickly. Maybe he had learned something from me after all. Within a couple of weeks, he made cold approaches to two other girls -- one of them in the good old Finley snack bar and the other on Convent Avenue -- and he landed both of them.
We were still on the paper together, and I got to meet both of his new paramours. I warned Paul that he had to be careful and not let these two women find out about each other.
Believe it or not, he also banged the virginal best friend of the first girl, Michelle. That friend was a plump but cute little chick named Judy, and he had a few threesomes with her and Michelle. I suppose I was struck at how far he had come and that he had the nerve to pull off stunts like that.
By the spring of 1976 my former reputation as the campus hooker was fading fast, and I was now a respectable undergraduate and newspaper essayist. I could hold my head up when I walked around the campus, and it had been quite a while since any man had made an offer to me. Sorry guys, those days are over.
#####
Eventually, I hope to mutate the Nora series into Paul's later experiences with Michelle, Andrea (briefly his girlfriend at the same time in late 1974), and Judy.
The timeline is slightly different, but Nora describes one of her spring 1974 experiences in Nora Turns a Trick.

gunhilltrainover 1 year agoAuthorThere are a number of other stories about Nora on here about her post-hooker period - many of these are versions of stories already on other sites. Anyway, the story is not supposed to be "hot." As I suspect most American prostitutes are, she is cold and clinical on the surface, but underneath she is falling apart both emotionally and physically. Over ten months, the same things keep happening to her because that is the nature of the job (or most jobs, for that matter.). The "progression" is that she decides to leave the job at the very end of her first year and lead a more normal life. That guy Paul will know her for another three years (they are on the same newspaper) but his time as her lover will be very much shorter as mentioned in the story.
Anonymousover 1 year agoNowhere near hot. This shotgun approach (give a long list of situations without hitting power) isn't doing it. Just a cold emotionless list of a variety of situations. No build-up and progression.
There is a progress in Nora's character over time, but she was the cold, clinical hooker throughout.
gunhilltrainover 1 year agoAuthorThank you. I didn't do a lot of research for that, I just made it up. Her character appears in a number of stories I have done on various sites. There will be more about her on Lit soon. The City College layout of that time is accurate, however.
