women in a few months time. First I saw my stepmom, Carol, naked, when I opened the door to her bedroom, then I saw Debbie naked, when she walked in my room naked and climbed in bed with me. Nonetheless, I was tired and frustrated being a virgin. I needed to score.

In hindsight, maybe I should have had sex with Debbie, before ratting her out to my Dad. Maybe, I should have had her give me a blowjob. Only, had I had sex with her and my Dad found out about it, we both would have been kicked to the curb. I'm glad I resisted the temptation of her.

I left my Dad, anyway, not much longer after he threw Debbie out and now my Dad lives alone. Henever went out with another woman after Debbie. I guess he figured, three women in his life was enough. Now, his best and only friends are his job, his co-workers, and his beer.

Still, I think about Carol. I wonder where she is and who she's with. I'd like to see her again one day. Only, I have no idea where she headed, when she left that fateful Christmas morning.

It's tragically funny, but I still carry around her Christmas gift in the trunk of my car. It's a Scrabble dictionary and her favorite movie, in book form, Gone With The Wind. Maybe I carry her gift around with me because I feel a piece of her is still with me. I don't know. Still wrapped in pretty Christmas paper,
