| Billy Billy walks up to the line� Eleven thirty and the club is rocking. Hey Adam what�s up? She shouts to the fine Toned, cute bouncer. �Not much Billy� Same ol� shit just different dayz. But when you�re here its always better� He laughs and motions her to come up front. She makes her way through the crowd And smirks At some chic�s fervent Bitchin� �bout waiting a few. Who�s in the box? �Oh �Tommy�s DJ tonight been asking fo� U too.� Yeah? Kool She puts out her hands Adam marks �em with 2 giant Xs Pretending to follow the rules Then stuffs a neon bracelet Into her hand. Hey Adam you always got to do this? He smiles �Naw�.just habit I like ta make u suffer.� He kisses her on the cheek �Be good in therre�� She chuckles out a sarcastic �yes father.� Then nods outside toward the line, Do me a favor handsome Give that bitch, in blue, Hell for me�. She likes to whine. Adam grins and Billy walks off, And heads to the little girls room. She puts on her illicit bracelet. And rubs the black marker off. She looks in the mirror Pulls down her short skirt And heads for the bar Bud light please, the bar tender hands her the beer. Billy gives him a buck fifty� �Sorry Hun�Tommy says he gots it tonight� He points up to the DJ � She sends up a kiss and a curtsey. Hey Ted�the bar tender turns around I�m going to be at my usual table Would you be a dear every once in awhile And send some cold beers down? �Sure thing, Billy� Thanks Ted You�re a sweetheart I don�t know what I�d do without you honey. She finds her way through the mass Nodding and smiling at The familiar faces Ignoring the foreign as they pass. She pulls out a chair And sits down Looks at the dance floor And then someone catches her stare. He�s tall and handsome; Gorgeous really: Must be new. Billy wonders if he can dance A body like that has to have rhythm. He turns and she looks in his eyes Smiles and opens her beer. He makes his way to her table Billy offers him a seat and he complies. �Can I buy you another?� Just then a woman in tight jeans And a mid-drift flops three beers on the table �Ted asked me to bring these over.� Ted�s the bartender Billy explains� But you know what, I wouldn�t mind a Jack and coke; Double the Jack and I�ll give you my name. The stranger laughs, �Ok then�� She watches his ass as he walks way� He�s got to be able to move� She thinks, as he walks back to her again. She gulps down her drink-- Enjoying its sweet sting Then opens another beer-- Hands it to him and wonders what he thinks. �So honey, you gonna tell me your tag?� Tag? Oh�My name. Yeah�it�s Billy. �I�m Miguel�Mike if I like you.� Nice to meet you Mike...Billy brags. �This goes out to the little lady In hot pink who�s tossing down my beer.� Tommy�s voice drowns out the music, �Is that for you?� Mike asks coolly. Yeah it�s my favorite song� He grabs Billy�s hand and pulls her up �Well then -let�s get on that floor.� Billy holds his hand and he leads her on He knows the rhythm well� Dancing close they move as one Her body presses firm on his Up tight against her she feels his manhood swell- She gets lost in the music and the beat� They�ve been dancing a while His chest is wet and her legs slick She sees the beer piling up�she needs out of the heat. �Mike� she whispers in his ear� Let�s go sit down for a bit It�s hot and I�m getting thirsty. Billy sits down and knocks back a beer. So Mike, you come here alone? �Naw�actually I came herre with a gurl.� Really? What happened? �I saw you -- guess I got thrown� What? Are you serious? �Yeah she went to the ladies room� And I came over herre.� Billy wonders at his shamelessness. �And I�m glad I did� Where�d you learn to dance anyways?� Don�t know. Guess I just like too �danced a lot at home when I was a kid. �So can I buy you another Jack?� Mike asks. Billy laughs� Sure, just don�t get �thrown� on your way. �Don�t worry I�ll be back.� He stands up and stares at her� Billy knows the look in his eyes He wants to kiss her� You going to go or should I have Ted send it over? She jokes awkwardly. �I�m going��just admiring your beauty�� Alright Casanova�while you�re Feeding my vanity�I�m getting thirsty. Mike walks off, turns and sends her a kiss. Billy smiles�and watches his walk Confident, proud and with perfect poise� Why shouldn�t she want to be his princess? But she doesn�t�� Besides what kind of man gets �thrown� by a smile and stare� No it�s always better to keep the distance. Billy thinks, as Mike returns with a grin. He hands her the drink; moves his stool Closer to hers and whispers� �Double Jack again�� You�re a sweetheart Mike, thanks a lot. She looks down at her watch, Oh damn it�s already two? She asks with a shock. �Guess so� You leaving?� Yeah I have an early start tomorrow. �Can I walk you to your car?� Sure,I just got to say bye to some friends before I go. Billy shouts a thank you to Ted As they walk past the bar. �No problem, hon, always my pleasure.� She smiles and spots Adam and Tommy ahead. Hey cutie�thanks for the beers and the song. Billy hugs Tommy closely. This is Mike�first time here I think. �Well if She likes you then you belong�� Adam laughs and extends his welcome. �I�m Adam and this is Tommy� he�s an acclaimed DJ; in his dreams at least�� Tommy throws a lazy slug towards Adam. Well boys before you start a fight I got to go. And behave yourselves. She chides them teasingly. �Alright sexy you have a nice night.� Adam pecks her on the cheek. Thanks again Tommy� Billy smiles at him �No problem baby�see you next week.� Mike waves bye and they walk outside� �You come here often�I take it.� Yeah every weekend�feels kinda like family. �You want to go for a ride� or something.� Mike fumbles out. No I better not�got to get home. He walks Billy to her car� Man I�m really worn-out� �So can I see you again?� Mike interrupts nervously�� Sure, Billy laughs �How �bout next weekend?� Ok�I�m here every Saturday. She unlocks her Cortez Silver 1969 Nova Jumps in; turns on Tom Petty And speeds away. Marina Joann Hammond Copyright � Marina Joann Hammond 2003 (November 18, 2003) |
