eyeballing him said his name was Gunther Ooohshiver me timbers quakin in my bootsNO No Not at all
hed been seeing Gunthers
girlfriend the last two months sidestepped what he thoughtthen was a moral imperativehis moral imperative though enthusiastically he departed it
if a fingerpointer glimpsed or met
Kristen
not only would they excuse him theyd forgive him
Gunther was frequently out of town on
business he sold drugs
He sells drugs. Kristen
struggled to keep laughter out of her face struggled
he replied Hes in pharmaceuticals A salesman
smiledwide crazy dimples going off
Ohno.
Aah
Yeah.
Then enough bout him
they met through a mutual friend at a semipro
hockey game couple of his friends played he was moral support might have been on
the ice himself if he hadnt weak ankles they skated he played hardwood ball
she didnt wait to be introduced thrust
her hand forward Kristen. taking it Joe she
knew how to shake
a firm grip
Can I buy you girls a hot chocolate They make the best damn creamiest alcoholic
hot chocolates here Ive been lead to understand tha the quickest
way to a womans heart is chocolate
I don’t think you’re after mine.
No Brie
Im not
Should I be flattered?
Brie
Kristen doesnt know me an I woudnt be objective
No. You would not. turned to Kristen You
could do worse.
Christ Thanks for the rave review winked
she placed a slender finger to her
philtrum maybe
an attempt to silence herself took it away
I think . . I think I’ll reserve my assessment until after I’ve had a taste
of this purported remarkable libation.
I didnt say libation
Who says tha
Brie You
Kristen. No.
Ill be back
So Brie.
He’s hard, tough. Can be a sonofabitch. If you give him reason to be.
But there’s not
a better man to have in your corner.
smiled demurely If you can corner him.
You try?
All his female friends have tried.
Yes. I tried.
And?
We’re fond fast friend.
Bonded.
Bonded?
He has my back, I have his.
That said . . . hard to believe how many of his friends are women. They,
we, might intimidate a lesser woman if he decided to date her. But that said, he wouldn’t date her if she
was lesser.
