A Happy Marriage (2009)
“A furnace of fear and desire propelled him back and forth across the shiny polyurethaned floor of his studio while a fashion debate raged. Should he wear his black Levi’s, his pale blue Levi’s, his dark blue Levi’s, or his one expensive item of clothing—beige Italian slacks tight to his boy-size twenty-four waist and flared at the bottoms? The tailoring of the Milan pants was dead-center seventies couture, which made sense since it was 1975. What didn’t make sense was to wear a thin cotton-line...n blend on December 30. And there was the issue of the taut cut of the imported trousers across his groin, designed to show off a manly bulge. This exhibitionism frightened him at both extremes of insecurity: that he had not enough of a bulge and that showing what he had was vulgar.
He would never have bought such pants if it weren’t for the influence of his bossy and sexually confident friend Sal. In most matters, and certainly in clothing, Enrique didn’t emulate Sal, but since his friend managed to get laid more frequently than he had in the past calendar year (not, in fact, a difficult achievement, one being a superior number in that regard), he had allowed Sal to cajole him into the purchase.MoreLess
