CHAPTER SIX

The announcer comes back on and thanks everyone on Seary’s behalf. Knowing the show is over, the crowd collectively sits back down and the noise level of intercommunication becomes loud. I look at Kip and Bianca as I turn my chair back around and scoot it up under our table. Kip is grinning from ear to ear at me and I can’t help the stupid grin that responds to his. I feel like a school boy who has just gotten caught stealing a kiss from his first crush.

Kip asks. "So.... What did you think?"

"I think you were right. She’s as hot as her name implies."

Bianca doesn’t say a word and she’s not smiling. Her earlier answer 'nothing' returns to my mind, and I know I need to deal with the 'something big' that is 'nothing.' But the waitress returns and brushes my arm with her tits as she leans in to pick up our empty glasses. "My name is Stacey. May I get you another round?"

I answer. "Yes, please. The same."

When she stands back up, her hip is pressing into my arm and she smiles down at me. "Excellent. I’ll be more than happy to hook you up." The innuendo hangs in the air as she continues to hold my eyes and asks Kip and Bianca. "Would you two also like to reorder the same?"

I hear Kip say. "Yes."

"I’ll be right back. Don’t go anywhere." She tells me, then disappears again.

When I look back at Kip and Bianca, I expect to see her leaning on the table in her usual aggressive jealous position, but instead she is sitting in Kips lap. Surprised, I ask her again. "What’s in your craw?"

She gives me a 'really?' look like it’s a dumb question and she says again. "Nothing."

Now I give her a 'really?' look and Kip chuckles at us. "Don’t give me that bullshit, Bianca. Something is up with you."

"Not with me. With you."

"What?" I frown at her.

She rolls her eyes. "It’s nothing. I’m fine."

"Bianca, we’ve known each other for years. And in that time, you have never not challenged another woman who is in my presence. What’s in your craw?" I stare at her.

"What’s in my 'craw' Alabama boy, isn’t the question, but the answer is, what’s in yours, or rather, who’s in yours."

I look at her, thinking about what’s she has said, and who she is implying.Seary. Yeah, Searyisin my craw. First time I’ve ever had someone in there too.For just a moment I think about shrugging it off and denying it, but then I realize no point. Bianca’s right and she knows she is right.Wait a minute. Wait just a damn minute!

"Are you telling me that you’ve just let it go, like that?"

"No point anymore."

"What the hell?" I shake my head confused by her certainty. "I haven’t done anything different." She laughs with confidence. "Explain yourself." I demand.

She raises her eyebrows at me and I know that was a turn on for her.

"Listen, Aurei. It’s the way you looked at her."

I frown, knowing my tongue wasn’t hanging out with drool dripping off it. I’m very careful about my facial expressions. I raise my eyebrows at her and command more information.

She looks at Kip for help and he says. "Don’t look at me. I’m lost too."

She rolls her eyes like we are children. Stacey comes back with our drinks and again brushes my arm with her breasts as she sets them down. I reach in my pants and pull out a tip for her. She grins as I stick it in her cleavage. "Thanks, Big Daddy."

Bianca says. "You’re wasting your time, Hun. He’s got Seary in mind."

She laughs and looks at her. "Then I’m not wasting my time at all. She doesn’t do extracurricular activities." She looks down at me. "My shift ends in a couple of hours. We can hookup then if you’re interested."

I smile at her and ask. "What if I’m gambling?"

"Then you’ll need to go ahead and book a room. Let Beverly know you want me."
