Sinopsis
DESCRIPTION: How do you get your father to notice you? When your needs have blossomed, and your body is ripe for love? I know. I'll rub his shoulders tonight after supper. And then I'll go further down, and... EXCERPT: You see, Papa is a very, very handsome man. He’s tall and muscularly built, with black hair, and deep brown eyes. He’s got olive skin, thanks to his Italian heritage, and looks good enough to eat. I can’t really say that I blame the women. He drives me crazy, too. But what can I do? Since my mother died five years ago, he hasn’t wanted anyone. Try as the women might, he just doesn’t want anything to do with them. He barely speaks to me! I think he’s just used to being this way now. He works hard and is friendly and polite, but that’s as far as it goes. When it’s time to unload all the shipments that come in, he does it by himself, lifting all those heavy boxes, and opening them up to put the contents on all the shelves. I’ve offered to do it, and he refuses me. No wonder his arms and chest are so big. Finally, it’s closing time. It’s time for me to go upstairs and cook our meal. Tonight it’s ravioli in pasta sauce. That should cheer him up.
