There were very few women who went into the pool hall and those that did were skanks. I was ready for a steady woman, one who would be loyal and faith...ul. You know, I wanted the marrying kind not the partying kind. The few women I did date from college were just not my type. I was visiting with one of the guys on a Friday night at the pool hall and he mentioned Roxie. I hadn't thought of her in ages. Hell, I hadn't even thought of Janice.This was before cell phones had been invented so I went. She twirled around and then asked who wanted to fuck her first. Suzette has always been the most outgoing of the group and her actions really didn’t surprise us until Nick added that this could be our last chance for some time. We all looked at him and waited for what was next. He then told us that he has taken a new job with his company as manager of their entire operation in Europe. I asked when he said they were leaving for Paris in a week. All they had to do was pack up their personal. She was to move into Lisa's room and startcalling herself Lisa. Lisa had already dressed more appropriate for a 17 yearsold and with the makeup she looked very convincing. They smiled as Thea, nowLisa, saw what they had put out for her. It was one of Lisa's old Sunday dresswith both petticoats and ruffles. Lisa had out grown it several years ago andit had been stored in the attic ever since. When they had dressed her they both fell on the bed laughing. Thea lookedat herself in the mirror. She. Am I that drunk? I glared at him for a moment, expressionless. I raised my glass and took a massive swig, eyes unfaltering.Jack grinned softly, walking to the corner pocket. Skillfully, he whipped his cue behind him, bent backward over the table, and aimed his cue sharply at the 8-ball. "Corner pocket," he chimed. Snapping his right arm to the left, the ebon sphere rocketed from the cue's tip, slamming 1 into the hole, instantly following after. I totally didn't have a chance.He leaned backward.
