He sounds so fucking nostalgic I feel the instant hit of the empty seat in this booth

Jonny

"Yeah, it has been a while Too long" I stare down into ht when Jonny was still here?" I say, liftinghis name doesn’t hurt as much as it used to There was one point where I couldn’t even finish a sentence if his nahtly "Jonny wouldn’t give us a fuckin’ reprieve back then He had us out every night, tapping ass and drinking hard liquor That’s e can all hold our drink so well now Taught by the best"

"You still can’t hold your liquor" Denny laughs at him

"Fuck you! I could drink you under the table any night of the fuckin’ week!"

"Bring it on," Denny challenges

"You are so fuckin’ on" Too

"Can we have three Flaar, and a line of tequilas, and keep ’e, darlin’ Anything else I can get you?" She turns to me, leans over, puts her hand on ain?"

Again? Shit, have I fucked her before?

I give her face a quick glance No recollection whatsoever

I don’t knohether to be relieved or shit scared at that realization

Truth is, I don’t think I would recognize near to half of the women I’ve screwed

To remember I would’ve had to have cared, and I never cared

One in, one out Those girls were just naed everything She changedmy shoulder out fro for, I’ ue over her lower lip, then tugs her lip between her teeth "But you’re not le, and I’ood without a word to your girl Right noant you to coood use A little reain, she whispers in ood, honey, you won’t ever wantNot even a twitch in my dick

Before Tru, I wouldn’t have hesitated I’d have pushed her under the table and gotten her to blow h

Struggling not to be a bastard and hurt this chick’s feelings, even though I’ h and say, "I’etsYou’re not a patch on her--no offense You wanna get laid, you’re gonna have to look elsewhere Like I said before, I’aze practically burns a hole in me

Okay, so maybe I wasn’t as kind as I could have been

"Hey, sugar, if you’re up for a fuck, I’ll happily step in where he’s lacking," To her attention

She pulls herself away froh of relief to have her and her cheap perfume out of my face

"Bound and chained Jake is, but I’ht?" she says, straightening up, pushing her chest out

"The one and only"

"I’ve heard great things about you" She shifts her gaze doard on hiht?"

"Right" He grins

"I’ my break now" She tilts her head for him to follow her

"Boys, I’ll be back in half an hour"

Torabs the waitress by the hand I watch hih the crowd

I shake

"Skank," as Tru would say

At least To his rocks off for a few I’d say he has no shame, but then, there was a time I would have done exactly the sa-ht onto him

"Ah shit, Tom’s just fucked off to the bathroom with our easy access to shots," Denny co it up I pour Denny another, then myself

"So you off to London in a few days?"

"Yeah, and I can’t fuckin’ wait" Denny leans back against the seat, resting his head on the top as he takes a drink "Feels like it’s been fuckin’ ages since I last saw Sies," he adds

"I don’t kno you do it, man I couldn’t be away froht away from her does my head in"

I can talk to Denny like this and knoon’t bustfrom Tom, on the other hand, will never understand

"It’s hard fuckin’ going," he says "But it’s just the way things have to be at the moment Her work’s there and et a transfer out here?"
