Dear Authentic Chick,
At a recent Church Crusade in Barbados, I felt impressed to accept a call to change my life. I used to be a party girl and then if I am to be truthful, I slept with about three men from the same Church but they were from different branches of this same church. I remembered that one of the guys said that he was from the north of the island.
To my surprise, that guy was now one of the Elders I remembered very well simply because he had a tattoo on that special little finger of his right hand. (You know what I mean) He was the same person who welcomed me into this same church now that I am baptised. I don’t remember the names of the other two guys but this special one with his little finger and the tattoo had the heart to look me in the eye and welcome me as if nothing happened. True, we were both young and restless in those days but, surely he must remember me.
