“This is so stupid,” I said, shaking my head. “I’ve tried to tell you that there’s nothing going on between us, but you just don’t want to hear it, so fine. Believe what you want to believe. I don’t care.”
“Why can’t you just be honest with me? It’s just one lie on top of another with you, Jason.”
“What do you want me to say, Dad?”
“I want you to tell me the truth!”
“Fine,” I said, throwing my hands up in exasperation. “Yes, I’ve been having sex with Carmen. I had sex with her last night and I planned to make sweet love to her again this morning before you burst in here. I am gay, but I’m strangely notgay when I’m with her. She’s the only woman I can get it up for. Is that enough? Are you satisfied now?”
My father stared at me with such disgust in his face. “What the hell is wrong with you?” he asked. “Are you insane? She’s your cousin!”
“She’s also insatiable. I just can’t control myself when I’m with her,” I deadpanned.
