”“I would if he didn’t keep dropping his balls.”“It’s not his balls that I’m worried about.”“Oh, Arthur, please. Stop it with the je...lousy.”In need of a distraction I glanced about the room to find Merlin. However he was already wasted, and snored with the dogs in front of the huge fire. I raised my goblet of ale and finished it one... It was going to be a long night.The jester was particularly bad. We booed him off the stage. He was so flustered he walked face first straight into the closed. My ass was great and Jacques' open admiration for my pert derriere, however inappropriate, was most welcome. I never received such compliments from Matt.As luck would have it, Jacques was on duty that night. He smiled warmly as I marched towards the bar but his expression changed as I got nearer.“Oh dear Lisa, another bust-up?” he inquired cautiously.I tried my best to smile. “Is it that obvious?”“I can see you’ve been crying, so yes.” His big brown eyes searched mine. “Are you okay?”“Yeah,” I. Mister… here is a bag with everything I own… it won’t last them long, they way it goes. God bless you for finding me today. Now don’t forget to give my love to Rose.’ I could see the life leaving this poor man and he kept repeating. ‘Give my love to Rose… tell my son his daddy is so proud of him and don’t forget to give my love to Rose…,’ as his breaths became labored. ‘Hey, what are you doing there?’ A voice called out. ‘Call an ambulance…!’ I shouted back. I picked up his small bag, amazed at. I gripped his face and kissed him back only more urgently and with more want. His returning kiss held as much urge and want for me, I felt him start to pull from me. I unwillingly let my hand fall from his face and slowly let my eyes open still seeing him hovering above me. I exhaled deeply and smiled. He smiled back at me “come on” he said standing up and grabbing my hand leading me back towards his car. My heart sank, Was he taking me home? What was going on? My mind wondered a thousand.
