Restaurantsset up food tents, and the local bars all got together and put up a beer tent. They shut down one of the main side streets through town, an... had two popular bands booked. Both bands were popular cover bands. Both were local, and best of all, pretty damn awesome. Leah had only heard of one of them, and was thrilled to know they were country. Last thing she wanted was to be stuck at a huge local event with the entire town over the age of 21 being drunk, and have to listen to bad music.. I rode a bus on the way to a beach on the outskirts of the city, and as we passed through the business district I saw her.This time she wore a more conservative skirt, and a floral blouse. But they did little to hide her figure and nothing to hide her eyes. I signalled the driver for a stop. He kept driving. But I was too drunk from my own obsession to be embarrassed again. Keeping one eye on the street dropping away behind us, I pleaded with the driver to stop a little early. We hit a red. I rarely worked days as I hated getting up early and usually volunteered for nights plus the company I worked for paid the price ly sum of fifty pence more per hour for nights and a pound for weekends as these shifts were harder to cover. That doesn,t sound like much, but back then security officers only were paid three pounds per hour as it was. With a sizeable mortgage and two growing teenagers it was hard paying the bills. By the time I finished my shift the next morning only Florence was. Then, after the game, you bring me back by here, and I go stay with Ms. Washington while the two of you go out together. I could even stay all night, over at her place, and sleep on her couch." Why would you do that? You've never slept overnight over there, even when you were still in school and I was playing on the road." I'll stay over there, in case you get lucky!" Eddie said."In case I... Jeez, Eddie! This will only be, like, our second date. I'm not going to 'get lucky, ' that soon." Dave,.
