Two other couples filled the nine-seat table.Everything was going along fine. I ordered a vodka and fruit juice drink. The girls all had Shirley Templ...s and groused about it. At their persistent urging, I let Bree take a sip of my drink, as a special benefit accorded the birthday girl. I hoped that the manager wouldn't notice and toss us out for underaged drinking.As the chef performed his first feat of daring with his knife, the whole table "ooh"ed and "aah"ed. As he continued and the group. My luck had sure changed from last year. No sooner had I cast in, a fish latched onto my hook.“Well, how about that!” I drawled, as I reeled in the small catch. I tried to keep my voice light, but it felt like I was trying to illuminate a giant cavern with a faint ember.“Looks like you’ve been practicing,” Heather said impassively. She made no movement to start fishing. Her mood was starting to disconcert me.“Nah, I only fished twice since last summer, believe it or not. Busy year.”I soon. “Yeah, I still gotta go pick someone up.”“Oooooh, going to get Jen?” she cooed.“Uh, no, she’s coming on her own,” I said absently, hanging up the fuel hose. “Well, we’ll see you there,” Lexie purred, then backed up and left the lot. I assumed she needed gas as well, but it was suddenly clear she just stopped after seeing me.I shook my head and went inside to pay for the fuel.“How am I going to fit in this thing?” Trent complained, looking dubiously through the passenger window.“The seat moves. I asked about the room no of the lady and went to the room in a hurry. She was sitting on a chair. I went near her and asked her should we start. But she told me that first have a drink and then telephoned the room service and ordered drinks and eatables. Then she took out a cigarette packet and asked me to take one which I did (I am a social smoker and light drinker) she was not as furious as before and asked me to come near her. I placed my fingers on her forehead then moved them in circular.
