the first level. The kitchen was decorated in a 1950s American
110
motif complete with older appliances that sparkled like new.
The bathroom down the hall was done up like something out
of King Arthur s Court and the main bedroom at the end of the
hall sported Ancient Chinese tapestries and rice paper drawings.
Obviously Tinitia had spent some time absorbing the vibes given
off by Disneyland.
A knock at the front door drew him back to the living room
where he found a large, overweight black man laughing heartily
as he hugged Kinitia. The man was tall, at least six foot five, and
had to weigh about 350 pounds. His massive arms were wrapped
around Kinitia s shoulders and his shaved head gleamed in the
light coming in from the windows overlooking the pond.
Kinitia, it is so good to see you! the man rumbled in a
deep voice. He opened his eyes and spotted Charlie hovering in
the hallway. Oh, my. And who is this delicious little lump of
confection? The man released Kinitia and lumbered gracefully
across the room to loom over Charlie and present his hand. Allow
me to introduce myself. I am Waldo Wallace. And who might you
be?
Charlie flinched as his fingers were swallowed up by Waldo s
huge hand. Um, Charlie Heggensford, sir. Nice to meet you.
Waldo looked back at Kinitia and gave her a look. Such
manners, Ms. Jones. You do find the pretty ones, don t you?
All right, Waldo, Kinitia said. Stop accosting my employee
and let s get this show on the road.
Well, Charlie, Waldo replied with a bright smile. It is
definitely nice to meet you. Waldo turned and headed for the
front door. Come along, Jones women. You too, Charles.
As Charlie and Kinitia walked out the door, she leaned over
and said to him, Waldo is Grammy s hair dresser. She s been
going to him for over twenty years. He s the one who helped her
find these actors and come up with the story line for the movie.
He seems very nice.
Oh, he is. And he s just like every other man I ve met: horny
as the day is long. Kinitia shook her head and opened her car door.
I just don t know where they found a place to film this movie.
She stopped and frowned as Waldo and Tinitia walked past his
111
Audi TT Roadster and headed off along a path around the pond.
Hey, Grammy! she called. Where you headed?
Come on, Ms. Jones, Waldo said over his shoulder. It s not
that far.
Kinitia and Charlie shrugged to one another and followed the
two along the path until they came to the activities center for the
condominium group. Waldo produced a key and unlocked a door
then held it open for the rest of them. They entered a large, banquet
style hall complete with bar, serving kitchen, and several round
tables set up with tablecloths and artificial flower arrangements.
Very nice, Waldo, Kinitia said, then shook her head and
asked, I don t get it. Are we crashing a wedding?
No, honey, Waldo exclaimed. We re filming a movie! It s a
wedding motif. Sort of. Any way, it s a wedding reception type of
setting and then all hell breaks loose. We ll make the other shit up
as we go along.
Tinitia nodded and clapped her hands together. Bring on the
dicks! Where are those pretty little bastards you lined up for me last
week, Waldo? I need another look at em!
Waldo laughed and pulled out his cell phone. I m sure they
just got lost trying to get here. There was a big rave going on last
night down by the docks and they probably haven t slept since night
before last. I ll call Dwond right now. He stepped away to make
his phone call and Kinitia turned to her grandmother.
Grammy, I don t know about this, she said quietly. I don t
think the condo association would appreciate having their activities
building used to film a gay porn video.
Tinitia made a face and waved Kinitia s concern away. Ah,
you young people. Where s your guts? Everyone told me I couldn t
run a strip joint all those years ago too, and look what I did. Ran
that shit hole like nobody s business and made more money than
all your ancestors combined. She gave a single, curt nod, putting
an end to the discussion. We ll be fine. I m going over here to
check out the camera equipment.
While Waldo made his calls and Tinitia tinkered with a couple
of VHS cameras standing on tripods in a corner, Kinitia and Charlie
found some extra tablecloths and taped them up over the windows.
