I guess theywere waiting for their wives. I call them over and asked if they couldhelp me pick something out for someone. At first they ignore me, u...til oneof the guys saw Erika and quickly jumped out of his seat and walked over.The other two also glanced over and they too became very interested inhelping me all of a sudden. "Hi guys, can you help me out? I don't know if this right for her?" Isaid as I point to Erika. She was turning bright red, even redder then hercheeks when I slapped. Mike belonged to the latter group, and often came to World of Fantasy on Friday nights to watch the show and relax. His day job as the wire operator for a large brokerage house was extremely stressful and as a single guy with no current girlfriend, the club was a nice comfortable place to hang out with no pressure; the eye candy didn't hurt either.It looked to be a slow night at the club. In one corner table, to the left of the catwalk, was a group that looked to be made up of local teenagers.. " One," Tess returned with a smile."Okay, one o'clock but no later." Thank you," Tess said and rushed up to Mac and hugged him.The hug lasted a lot longer than it should have. Mac finally had to pry her hands from him. "Uh... Tess, I have to get to work." He felt like he had said those words a hundred times in the last two days."Oh, all right," Tess said begrudgingly.Mac shook his head and went upstairs to the equipment room again. It was now filled with wires and computer terminals. He checked. He won’t stand up to anyone. All of a sudden, he started in about how hurt he was. Maybe he landed on his arm because he started holding his wrist and raising it in the air when it was clear he wasn’t going to get back up to challenge the guy. It was like he wanted to show everyone he was too injured to fight.John pulled me in by the waist and told me Mason would be ok, not to worry. I thought so anyway, but that made me feel better.A manager came out then and asked Mason if was he okay, and he.
