Under the Skin Page #3

People wind me up.

How?

They're ignorant.

What about your friends?

So you don't have any friends?

No.

How about a girlfriend?

How old are you?

I'm 26.

When was the last time

you had a girlfriend?

Never had one.

So don't you get lonely then?

You've very nice hands.

You've beautiful hands.

Do you want to look at me?

This isn't Tesco's, is it?

No.

I noticed you looking at me before.

And?

I liked it.

You're uncomfortable.

No. Just want

to go to Tesco's.

So you never think about it then?

Think about what?

Being with a girl.

When was the last time you touched someone?

Let me see your hands.

Cold.

I have to get back soon.

How was that?

Cold.

Do you want to do it again?

Yeah.

Do you want to touch my neck?

Here.

How was that?

Yeah.

Your hands are very soft.

I have a place about 30 minutes away.

Will you come with me there?

The bus will be along in a minute.

Do you not think you should be

wearing a jacket, little lass?

The weather's terrible up here.

You'll catch your death of cold if you've

not got a jacket or a hat or something on.

You've not got the right clothes on at all.

You all right there?

Eh?

You okay?

Can I do something for you?

Chase yourself, dafty.

Leave the lassie alone.

She doesn't want anything to do with you.

Do you need any help?

Yes.

Right.

Now I've stood on your shadow

And I've watched it grow

And it's shaken and it's driven me

And let me know Let me know

Let me know Let me know about

all the old forty-fives

And the paperback rooms

And it's scattered

all the photographs

Of summers and suns
