Lem and Lacey

“That sex scene makes me feel nervous.” says a Millennial.

“Why?!” asks Lem.

“Because there’s nothing graphic about it! I mean…undulating?! Like…what does that even mean? I mean I get the idea sort of but I don’t understand. You just jump on top of her and then and then what?!?” asks a Millennial woman.

“We purposefully left out details to keep some privacy and also I just it’s it’s I mean it’s too graphic in general. I don’t think some things should be public.” says Lem.

“I thought it was very racy!” says a North Dakotan.

“I actually know what they mean by undulating up and down. I can picture it in my head.

She’s on the bed, he’s on the bed across from her like those stupid twin beds for married couples they have and TV shows from around that time and then he basically moves as he’s tossing his glasses onto a nightstand on top of her. It’s essentially leaping…and then as he does it because he’s so big he grabs her probably underneath her armpits and like pushes her back on the bed or grabs her body some other way and pushes her on the bed backwards. After that it’s just undulating, whatever. How many more details do you people need??!?” asks Casi.

“OK but like the part about the armpits, I couldn’t see that in my head. And like what is undulating, Casi?” asks a Millennial.

“Are you a virgin or have you never had physical sex? Like…I don’t get it. I feel like undulating is something you do probably no matter who you’re having sex with…but I suppose it was probably a little bit different because they’re obviously in the missionary position, most likely, but I mean it’s meant to be somewhat vague…you’re supposed to sort of fill in the blanks.” says Casi, incredulously.

“I just think they needed more details.” says the Millennial woman.

Brian Duffield throws his head back. “I thought it was sort of discreet and elegant.”

“I did too! And passionate.” says a Rockefeller.

“I mean I can tell you what I saw. I watched.” says Michael.

“Why?!?” asks Sinead.

Black Car by Beach House plays.

“Because…I had to look. Lacey is mine for eternity if Lem fails. I wanted to know what happened.” says Michael.

“I’ll look if I have to.” says Louis.

“I looked too!” says Harold Loeb. “And I’m an author.”

“Harold…why don’t you tell us? Through Lacey.” says Scott Fitzgerald.

“I’ll tell.” says Hemingway.

“She caresses his head as he throws himself inside of her violently until they both scream. They’re shaking the whole time. She’s barely cognizant of reality she’s so lost to him. He’s extremely confident and comfortable. …It’s great sex!” says Hemingway.

“Why do I still want more details?!” asks a Millennial woman.

“Because people think he was gay?” wonders Micheal.

“What do they look like together?! He’s 6 ft. 4!” asks a Millennial woman.

“He looks big. She looks petite. They both look like adults.” says Zelda.

“Is it beautiful?” asks a Boomer. “They’re not my parents!”

Zelda thinks. “It’s sexy!! …All love making that’s true is beautiful.”

“What’s interesting is that Hemingway focused on their heads. They touch each other…other places than just their heads.” says Harold Loeb, thoughtfully.

“Maybe it’s his way of hinting at how intimate they are.” says Michael.

“Because of how they stare into each other’s eyes?” says Harold.

“Yes….although it’s evidenced in their chests as well. Really…undulating was meant to indicate intimacy.” says Michael. “They flail around like fish out of water.”

Silence.

“That’s their first time?! As virgins?!” asks a reader.

“Yup!” says Elliott. “They’ve been talking very intimately for a week. And…they’re both Greatest Generation 20-somethings. They’re starved!”

“So…they have an overwhelming thirst for each other?” asks the reader.

“Can sex get better than that?!” asks Casi.

“Yes! It has in a way.” says Lem.

“With Lacey?!” asks Kick.

“Yes.” says Jack. “I can tell he means Lacey.”

“I did!” says Lem.

“Lacey’s good in bed. So is Lem.” says Elliott to Jack.

“Yeah!!” yells Jack.

“So am I!” says Elliott.

Jack stares at him.
