One hot evening in New York they stepped up onto the roof and he could look out over the top of the city. There were skyscrapers. After a while it got dark and the searchlights came out. The others went down and took the bottles with them. He and Mel could hear them below on the balcony. Mel sat on the steps. She was cool and fresh in the hot night.
Mel stayed through the night. He was glad to let her. He sat beside her on the steps and they talked. As they talked, Mel did not get up from the steps. They were only teenagers. He liked Mel. As they sat on the steps he thought of Mel naked.
Before they went back downstairs he seduced her. It was dim and quiet, and there were other people downstairs. It was their first time, but there was not enough time, and luckily they had condoms. They felt as though they were aroused, but they didn't want everyone to know about it, and to make it so they could lose it.
Mel fucked him on the steps so that he got off. Fifteen years old came in a bunch to the two and he sorted fucks by the dates and logged them all straight through in a notebook. They were all about the sex, and how much she loved him and how it was impossible to get along without him and how she wanted to do anything for him.
After the affair he went to Massachusetts for school. Mel would not go to the same school until he could come to New York to meet her. It was understood he would not drink, and he did not want to see his friends or anyone in New York. Only to fuck. On the train from Massachusetts to New York they quarreled on the cell phone about her not being willing to come to Massachusetts for school. When they had to say good-bye, in the station at New Haven on the phone, they were not finished with the quarrel. He felt sick about saying good-bye like that.
He went to New York. Mel did not meet him. It was lonely and rainy there. Staying in the rainy city during fall, a movie director fucked Mel, and she had never known it in the asshole before, and finally called Massachusetts to say that theirs had only been a boy and girl affair. She was sorry, and she knew he would probably not be able to understand, but might some day forgive her, and be grateful to her, and she expected, absolutely unexpectedly, to be in pornographic films. She was satisfied by him as always, but she realized now it was only a boy and girl satisfaction. She hoped he would have a great life, and believed in him absolutely. She knew it was for the best.
The director did not cast Mel at any time. She never heard from her first on the steps again. A short time after she contracted gonorrhea from a man she met while sharing a taxicab through Central Park.
