"Great Thanks," he said as he handed me a can of cherries "Could you open those and put them in that bowl over there that only has one left"

"Sure" I did as I was told, and just when I was about to toss the empty jar I heard a female squeal Jasper’s name I looked up, I didn’t eous blonde around the pool that he had tossed over his shoulder He had a hand on her botto She was enjoying it while she slapped at his back My chest ached If I couldthat wouldthan her," Jerry said snapping

"Do you need anything else?" I asked hi to focus on what he’d just seen

Jerry smiled then He had a dih for someone like you He’d never treat you the way you deserve I’ve been around you for a couple hours, and I have spent ninety percent of that tiure out how to ask you on a date or if you were already taken That guy sees you all the time and he doesn’t notice you And that’s because he only sees himself It’s how they are"

I PUT SASHA DOWN AND watched as Stone said so to the bartender and Beulah She looked upset I wasn’t sure what he’d said but he had been rude That ht There was no reason for him to be a jackass Annoyed, I walked over to Stone just as he was getting his whiskey "What did you say?" I asked hi back at the house where Beulah had walked inside

"I didn’t say anything to her Jesus I was ordering a fucking whiskey God knows I need one to deal with this shit Bunch of elitist shits"

He always acted like he wasn’t from the same crowd Frory about it "I saw you She walked off looking like she’d been slapped Lay off all right? She isn’t doing anything to deserve that"

Stone smirked then, and turned his eyes toward the bartender who I realized was listening to us as hetoo I just heard this guy ask her out"

What? I noticed the guy then He had my complete attention "You asked her out? She works three jobs She can’t go out" As I said the words, I felt like a jerk

His eyebrows shot up "Really? I told her I had two jobs She never "

He was impressed The ad should be He was sot asked out a lot
