Al, a native New Yorker, has been living in London for eight years in a large loft apartment on the river where he reads The Financial Times in The Wall Street Journal Europe every day, The New York Times on Sunday and still bemoans the fact that nowhere in the city can you get a decent bagel, 43 attractive in a Jerry Springer's kind of way and hugely wealthy. There is no shortage of gorgeous young girls for out of play with, but none of them thus far has interfered with his friendship with Josie He adores Josie knows that if he were ever going to settle down again, which is something he won't even consider, given the variety of younger and younger women out there, Josie would be exactly the sort of woman he choose. He loves the fact that she's opinionated, she's strong and tough, and he has the best and most provocative arguments with her. She's the perfect companion for the various functions a man like him has to attend and the perfect date for dinner with friends. Very early on many years ago, he made a pass at her. They were at a black tie dinner, and he invited her back to his loft apartment for a nightcap. He had known that she would be impressed by the place and imagine she would like. Most of the other young girls he brought back immediately fantasize about living there, jumping swiftly into bed with him in a bid to become the next Mrs Al Brooke Meister. He had Porter a vintage port, dim the lights, put Barry White on the stereo, then sat back on his sofa and look deep into Josie's eyes as he asked her wise, Such a beautiful woman didn't have a man, and Josie left. She had laughed and laughed until tears were pouring down her cheeks. That is pathetic. She had finally spluttered, wiping the tears and mascara away as outset there, wondering what the **** was so funny? Is that how you lure innocent young girls into your bed? Well, yeah, he said after a while, and I have to tell you, it usually works. You don't expect me to fall for that ****. I was kind of hoping you would, he said. Hopefully, Do you think you might? I mean, is it worth me carrying on with what? Josie was giggling, enjoying herself immensely. More smarmy flattery. Al Brooke Meister, you are hopeless. I'm telling you now that even if I were interested in getting involved with someone at work which I'm not, you would be at the very bottom of my list. Oh, thanks. His ego was instantly bruised. Oh, please don't pull that hurt, little boy. Act out. You're a wonderful man, but cheesy beyond belief. And you and I would never work. Plus, those lines are terrible. If you want, I'll help you come up with some better ones for your next victim. I've always thought my lines were pretty good. They've never failed me before. Josie shook her head. I'm sorry, but you have to do better than that. Pour me another drink and I'll tell you what women really want to hear. How would you know Al stood up in Grand? You're just a man and woman's clothing. Touchy, touchy just because I won't sleep with you. But the good news is I'll be your friend and trust me, you'll have a much better time with me as a lifelong friend than is a quick ****, which would be over in a few weeks. owl raised an eyebrow a few weeks. It would last that long on Lee if you were very lucky, Josie said. As it turned out, she had been right. They had been friends now for over six years, and he was the one person she could always rely on, the one person she was never too tired to see. Once or twice a week they'd get together, go for a local meal or to the movies on the weekends. If Al didn't have a date, Josie would accompany him to a cocktail or dinner party on a Saturday night. Or they spend a Sunday together walking in Hyde Park, followed by brunch at the Bluebird with a group of Al's friends. If I was dating someone, they see each other slightly less. The girls in his life invariably felt threatened by Josie, and on the rare occasions Josie was involved with someone, I would moan for a while before finding another playmate, knowing that Josie's involvements never lasted long and he'd soon have his friend back. The last time Josie had sex was 18 months ago, a fact that never fails to astonish L, who regularly offers to change that but has always met with rolling eyes and laughter.
