. she recoginized that , given the brief interval of my sublet , it was an important question . she laughed and said ." sorry . you will miss it ."
based on my limited craigslit experience i accepted ottavia's biased appraisal that my new sublet was a steal , but i also allowed that new jork rules applied -i was paying the equivalent of a hundred and fifty percent of my monthly boulder mortgage payment for three weeks ' use of about twenty percent of the sqare feet . i also knew i got the deal from ottavia only because i was stupid enough to be looking to stay in manhattan during a time when anyone who had resources was doing his or her best to get out of the city to someplace where air actually moved , where breathing didn't require that lungs do double duty as dehumidifiers , and where the myrial odors assaulting their nostril weren't stupefying in their complexity and general putridity .
ottavia was charming and funny . she spoke beautiful english , but her italian accent - she said it was sicilian - was spicy . i had to concentrate to undrstand her .
she initially danced around my question about what she did for a living , but eventually revealed that she worked in a health ministry at the united nations . she let me know she would be in almost unreachable ." i have a mobile , i can get messages . i would rather not ," she said .
my sublet fees were undoubtedly subsidizing her holiday .
after she showed me around the apartment , she revealed the rules of our apparently illicit arrangement . when she stopped suddendly and turned to face me in the hallway , i found myself only inches from her .
her perfume was perfect . for five seconds i was incapable of noticing anything other than how good she smelled .
"don't worry about doormen ," she said , interrupting my appraisal . she made a motion with her hands that i couldn't decipher . i guessed the gesture meant " they're cool ." she instructed me that if the building super asked or if god forbid
