Not until February, and no doubt not for her lack of trying to pressure TA. February, because that's when the thought she'd won after slashing Lisa's tires and TA broke it off with Lisa for the last time. Triumph!! Now TA would choose her!
But...Travis didn't. Instead, he started spouting nonsense about finding his One in his dreams. Enter Mimi the choice and possibility, even before TA broke up with Lisa. What was the to do?
Time was quickly running out. She'd been fired from Mimi's, was unemployed and broke, and TA had told her in January it was time for her to go home. Her attempts at full seduction of TA in January had failed.
TA in February texted with "Talie," a woman I'd have guessed didn't exist, had TA not met up with her, briefly, in May. In those texts Talie told TA that she would only be satisfied with full intercourse, that she didn't understand his reluctance, didn't he want it too?
And TA responded - oh yes! I do! But...I won't. Not even because of my religion, but because it's a personal choice, even a source of pride for me that I've resisted. Talie says...I wonder what it would take to break you?
I have no doubt that the read those texts. And I think after reading them she set out to break Travis's will. Which is why she stood him up for the special pizza place date, and instead took off for several days in Vegas. With Gus. Stoking TA's insecurities at every opportunity.
And, why she told him on the way back that he was hours away from having his wildest fantasies come true (or maybe hers), why she waxed and braided and put on her own spidey underwear and dressed up like a "horny school girl."
Intercourse as last resort. To try to get pregnant? To be able to wield the transgression as weapon against TA, to bend him to her will?
Nothing innocuous, whatever her purpose was, and for Travis, a disaster.
