"How many other lovers have you had? Matt asked.
"What?" Gemma snorted. "Lovers! Nobody uses that word anymore. Gemma sat upright in the bed, pushing back the pillow against the bedhead.
"What you really want to know is how many f***s I've had isn't it?" Gemma was wide awake now, her voiced loud in the small bedroom. Gemma lent over toward matt's ear, her breasts showing the washed out tatto with the ink spilling out of it's dark outlines. Matt thought it looked ugly, like a child's attempt at colouring in pictures. "Say it Matt, f***s f***s f***S!. Her voice becoming louder with each insult and finally shouting the last barb at him. Matt turned away from her and rolled out of bed, his ear ringing. He looked around the semi darkened room for his clothes. There was just enough grey early morning light coming through the curtains for him to find them where he had left them last night. Discarded in a hasty heap. He quickly dressed. From the bed he could hear Gemma singing to herself in a childish voice, "f*** f*** f***ity f***". Dressed Matt looked over to Gemma, she held up both hands palms spread wide towards him. "10'? asked Matt, Gemma made a fist with both hands, then opened them wide again. "20" said Matt hesitatingly. Gemma laughed out loud at him, a laugh where there was only one person laughing. Turning Matt rushed for the door, arms streached out wide towards him, he opened it and escaped into the silent hallway. Hearing the door close behind him, Matt dragged his hands through his sleep slack hair and whispered to himself "20 - 1".
