After Sonny and Cindy had intercourse Sonny was put in a very uncomfortable situation. He was worried that Cindy’s husband Tino was going to come home from work and catch them in bed. As Sonny rushed to get dressed Cindy kept begging him to stay and keep her company. She said, “I don’t want to be alone,…You don’t know how much I hate being myself, I can’t.” (125) Sonny is feeling pressured to stay because Cindy is lonely, does not have any friends, and her husband is at work most of the time. I could not imagine being in Sonny’s shoes here. I do not think that I could just do it with a woman that I barely knew let alone a married woman. Just the thought of sleeping with a married woman while her husband is off to work makes me feel sick. If only Tino was there to catch them in the act would have made things interesting. When I read this part of the book I could not help but picture their intimate moment; touching, kissing, and possibly Cindy talking dirty to Sonny. This scene really shows how Cindy is a desperate, lonely, insecure, and sad young lady. She has nothing going for her in her life except for when Sonny pays her an occasional visit. I think that she wants to divorce Tino and marry and be with Sonny. It seems like she would be a lot happier.
