After the rather satisfying meal, I poured another Guinness and casually made my way into the bedroom and sat at the edge of the bed glancing out the ...indow. I could not see my new friend. Where could she be, I wondered? Within moments she appeared. She had just come out of the shower and her hair was wrapped in a white towel. She held the towel on her head with one hand as she reached out and turned on a portable stereo with the other. She did a quick dance move as she tossed the towel aside.. Not happy about Hamburgny’a absence.It turns out Todd and Dainis are not friends. They just spotted J at the bar. J is having a lot of fun with them. She likes the sparring going on between them.I am lightly scratching her back again, did not know what else to do with the guys trying to move in on her. Dainis seems to own her left leg from knee to thigh. Todd is too slow and only has her hand when she reaches out to him. J knows what she is doing! Todd is OK but Dainis is Hot! Todd can stay but. Like I was some big city gangster out to steal their horses or whatever country folk held dear. It was hard to make friends as an outcast and somewhat shy young man so naturally I ended up with the other outcasts. In this town that meant Mexicans. At school I met my new best friend Angel, A slightly overweight but very nice half Mexican half American kid just a year older than me. He seemed cool to me and we would hang out almost every day and every weekend. Our friendship got to the point. " You mean it; no hesitation, no ''let me think about it', just 'okay'?" Well, if you insist," she teased, "I could always say 'it will be my pleasure' but yes, I mean it." Great! Wonderful! Terrific!" And Tom ran off toward the dining hall at top speed, while Linda, with a smile, followed at a more leisurely pace.That afternoon, Tom's feet barely touched the ground. During the softball game that afternoon, when it was his turn at bat, he closed his eyes and swung wildly and was the first one.
