<p>Some tattoos are worn to symbolize the individual, some to boast, label, or revere individual characteristics, circumstances, or people in the person&#8217;s life. And I&#8217;d venture (though not speaking with expertise on the subject) some are even used by gangs.<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_0PRtTwAoGoA/S03N3NuxyeI/AAAAAAAAAdA/GbPeRJrokWQ/s1600-h/damngorgeous.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5426219474513676770" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 162px; height: 241px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_0PRtTwAoGoA/S03N3NuxyeI/AAAAAAAAAdA/GbPeRJrokWQ/s320/damngorgeous.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">But what is the allure? What do we find so intriguing about a faded anchor, entwined with a thorny rose, inscribed with the name, Lulu? Or any of the elaborate tribal bands that encircle biceps or calves, the Kanji symbols adorning the backs of necks, or the assortment of colorful spreads of flowery designs and mythical creatures spread shoulder-to-shoulder or hip-to-hip that we must inquire their origins from the owners?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In one of my current WIPS, my <a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_0PRtTwAoGoA/S03MYMccwXI/AAAAAAAAAcw/kqk58-uSMuo/s1600-h/goddamnsexGOD.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5426217842080792946" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 213px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_0PRtTwAoGoA/S03MYMccwXI/AAAAAAAAAcw/kqk58-uSMuo/s320/goddamnsexGOD.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a>surfer turned P.I. sports quite a number of distinctive tats himself, because that is who he is, at least according to him. I never stopped to ask him why, though I know how and when, he got them. If I think about it, I&#8217;ve never inquired but simply admired quite a number of beautiful tattoos in my life, never questioning any owner . . . until now.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Now . . . well, last week to be more precise, when an eight year old little boy came crying off the school bus, rushed into the house—then into the bathroom to furiously scrub away at his face, neck, hands and arms with some funky concoction of rubbing alcohol and baby oil. When I inquired to the reason for his behavior, he simply replied through the tears that he didn&#8217;t want to get kicked out of school and . . . &#8220;I think we need more baby oil.&#8221;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Apparently, his four packages of child&#8217;s vanity tattoos that he so proudly pulled from his Christmas stocking and later splayed over and across nearly every inch of available skin, trying in vain to impersonate a number of characters at once from the Anime, Naruto, didn&#8217;t go over well with the teachers. He had violated &#8220;dress code,&#8221; his teacher had told him. The tats had to go or he&#8217;d be suspended.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Cut the kid some slack, I thought. For Christ&#8217;s sake, he&#8217;s a child—a little boy ecstatic about a simple <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_0PRtTwAoGoA/S03M3epC6KI/AAAAAAAAAc4/XKvLR9TV8AA/s1600-h/goldentattoos.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5426218379541407906" style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_0PRtTwAoGoA/S03M3epC6KI/AAAAAAAAAc4/XKvLR9TV8AA/s320/goldentattoos.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a>(and cheap) gift, who wanted nothing more than to enjoy it. They&#8217;d gotten my attention. My hackles were raised. I couldn&#8217;t recall reading anything about tattoos in the school&#8217;s dress code. I sat down with David and we looked it up.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Never mind that tattoos of any kind are not addressed in the code, and never mind that the code does not apply to Third graders or younger, the disclaimers were obvious and clear. &#8220;An item of dress, article of clothing, or accessory should not be deemed &#8216;approved&#8217; simply because it is not listed herein&#8221; . . . and &#8220;The administration reserves the right to address inappropriate clothing on an individual basis in all grades.&#8221;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">According to the teacher, David was being disruptive, drawing attention to himself, distracting class.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-style: italic;">Oh, the mystical allure of the tattoo . . . .</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Such power to command every gaze in a room. I think next year, I&#8217;ll have Santa put ten packages of those &#8220;apply-with-a-damp-rag&#8221; tats inside the boys&#8217; stockings.</p>

<p>Had the immortalized voice of John Lennon not been so compelling, I may not have remembered the moment. But how could I not, with thousands of voices blended in unison inside a square . . . that wasn&#8217;t really square. Besides, some outside the square were singing too if I recall. As those thousands in harmony forgot me but recanted, <em>&#8220;Remember all the people . . . ,&#8221;</em> I also recall the precise depth the steel reached&#8211;or maybe it was a letter opener . . . or a pick. My vision had blurred; but yeah, I&#8217;m thinking now, the song ended on an ice pick. Though I never actually saw my life&#8217;s intruder coming, a definite pang raced through me as the tip of whatever blade scraped a rib. And I remember seeing my pursuer mouth words to the song but can&#8217;t for the life of me recall his voice . <em>&#8220;Living . . . .&#8221;</em> I joined him in unison as his upper lip quirked a smidgen higher to one side and he grinned. Funny what one does remember.</p>

<p>Okay, maybe a bit morbid, but I write them as they come. Watching the ball drop last night, this inspiration took hold. Whether or not it becomes anything more is anyone&#8217;s guess. However, if you missed my New Year&#8217;s Eve free read and need something more on the sunny-side, here&#8217;s a little brightness, just for you:  <a href="http://bryltyne.com/2009/12/free-holiday-read/">http://bryltyne.com/2009/12/free-holiday-read</a> <img src='http://bryltyne.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

Ian Maroni, my roommate this year, drives me bat-shit crazy. It&#8217;s been a long first month of pure torture and I still don&#8217;t know if he&#8217;s gay or not; but I don&#8217;t care. He&#8217;s gorgeous. How many times have I dreamt of telepathic powers? Just once, I&#8217;d like to will that towel loose of those narrow hips. Frustrated as ever.</em></p>
<p><em>Martin Berman</em></p>
<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>
<p>Ian cocked a brow as he rounded the bathroom doorway and strolled to his side of the closet on the far side of the room. I closed my notebook. He eyed me over his right shoulder. &#8220;Didn&#8217;t know jocks kept journals.&#8221;</p>
<p><em>Smartass.</em> &#8220;It&#8217;s not a journal.&#8221; I stuffed the notebook into my backpack. &#8220;Professor Perkins says—&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Behavioral Psych Professor Perkins?&#8221;</p>
<p><em>Fuck.</em></p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s a journal.&#8221;</p>
<p>I ignored the look he threw me as I passed behind him, heading for the bathroom. He&#8217;d have dressed and either gone to the library to study or parked on his bed combing over his latest violin <em>ensem</em> when I finished showering. Predictable torture . . .</p>
<p>. . . And there he was cross-legged, back against his headboard, chin to his violin, when I emerged from the bathroom towel-drying my mop. Funny though, no music lay open on the bed before him, he appeared lost in a simple melody. &#8220;Not studying tonight?&#8221;</p>
<p><em>Ouch.</em> I fingered my sore ear. Could&#8217;ve done without the missed note.</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s New Year&#8217;s Eve, nimrod.&#8221; His glare cut deeper than his words.</p>
<p>Nothing unusual, though. I mean, look at him sitting there on his boney ass all proper-like. He envied me. I knew it. Who wouldn&#8217;t be jealous of this quarterback physique? He&#8217;d probably never stepped foot inside a gym. His anti-social behaviors weren&#8217;t my fault, though. If he wanted to live like a shut-in, he should&#8217;ve rented a place off-campus. Without another word, he laid his violin down softly then marched over to his dresser.</p>
<p><em>Oh great.</em> Out came his Marlboros. He lit one up as he stalked to the sliding glass door then jerked it open. I shuddered as he stepped onto the balcony into an exhaled plume of smoke. Suddenly, that perfect ass concealed by those skin-tight jeans didn&#8217;t look so inviting.</p>
<p>I thumbed through my clothes, pulling the first black t-shirt I came to off its hanger. Jerkwad knew I hated smoking. Just the thought of kissing someone with smoker&#8217;s breath made me gag. Oh hell, who was I kidding. Like I&#8217;d ever get a taste of him. I finished tugging up my jeans. He&#8217;d told me before that he only smoked when he was stressed out. Fastening my pants, I wondered if this time, it was my fault he&#8217;d felt the need to light up. Barefoot, I padded across the room and stuck my head out the open door.</p>
<p>&#8220;Melanie should be here any minute. Change your mind about the party?&#8221; I asked, knowing his answer would be the same as always. He never went anywhere, unless it served a purpose. Social functions, according to him, were what slackers majored in.</p>
<p>He dragged deep on that cancer stick. I couldn&#8217;t help stare at the way his lips tightened around it so determined, wishing he&#8217;d use that same determination on me someday. Ashtray-breath or not, even in one of his moods, his stance beckoned me to give him the once-over . . . one more time. So damned sexy. &#8220;I&#8217;ll go,&#8221; he said, exhaling the stench-filled smoke through his nose.</p>
<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>
<p align="center">* * * * *</p>
<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>
<p>Melanie and girlfriend, Sue, rented a house about three miles from campus. Not a long ride, but in the backseat of Melanie&#8217;s car, Ian toyed with the stitching of his jeans the entire time. Though she&#8217;d picked up a few others along the way, I&#8217;d made sure Ian got a window seat in case he needed to smoke. Crammed shoulder-to-shoulder in the backseat of her Hyundai, I knew he was <em>Jonesing</em> for one bad. He didn&#8217;t light up though. I found that abnormal—really strange, for him.</p>
<p>As soon as we were inside, he asked where the bathroom was. <em>Whatever.</em> Hungry as always, I snagged a glass of beer and headed for the kitchen.</p>
<p>&#8220;Hey, Marty. Does he know?&#8221;</p>
<p>Scanning behind me, I turned to find Melanie on my heels. Through the open doorway, I watched the swarm mingle about the living room. Still no sign of Ian. &#8220;Give it a rest. Will you?&#8221; I found an apple in a fruit bowl on the counter. &#8220;I told you. I don&#8217;t even know if he&#8217;s gay for chrissake.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Well, he showed up here, didn&#8217;t he? Surely he knows this party is exclusively for Lesbians and Gay—&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I didn&#8217;t tell him.&#8221; I took a hearty bite of apple, hoping she&#8217;d shut up.</p>
<p>She did, and just in time as Ian hustled into the kitchen looking a bit unsettled. &#8220;Sorry,&#8221; he said, and turned around. &#8220;I didn&#8217;t mean to interrupt any—&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Oh no, sweetie.&#8221; Melanie caught him by the arm. Squeezing past him in the doorway, she gave him a shove further into the kitchen. &#8220;I was just leaving.&#8221;</p>
<p>Ian pinned me with his stare, but it wasn&#8217;t his typical glare of distaste or envy. Breaking eye-contact, I lifted the lid on the cooler on the table. &#8220;Want a beer?&#8221; I handed him a bottle as I looked up to find him still staring. &#8220;What?&#8221;</p>
<p>As he grabbed the bottle from my hand and his fingers brushed over mine I could&#8217;ve sworn I caught him stifle a quick smile. &#8220;You didn&#8217;t tell me this was a gays only New Year&#8217;s Eve party.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Well, Melanie and Sue are friends . . . and they asked me.&#8221; I cracked open a bottle and held it out in exchange for his. He was still staring as I took the unopened bottle from his hand and replaced it with the one I&#8217;d just opened. But before I could open my beer, he was sucking his down. <em>Damnit.</em> Was there anything those lips couldn&#8217;t tackle to perfection? &#8220;Listen. If you&#8217;re uncomfortable—&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;No. I&#8217;m cool,&#8221; he said, lowering the bottle from slightly swollen lips.</p>
<p>Again, I tried hard not to fixate on that almost smile and turned away. Sipping my beer, I made my way past Ian and into the crowded living room. Catching the game on the big screen or shooting the bull with friends should keep my mind occupied. Anything but worrying about what that smile meant.</p>
<p>One of the reasons I liked hanging out with like-minded buds, at least &#8220;<em>Star Quarterback Kisses Man</em>&#8221; would be far from breaking New Year&#8217;s Eve gossip come Monday morning. Most professors could give a rats ass about who&#8217;s schtupping whom, but the students? As quarterback of the football team, I had an image to uphold. I gave Ian one last glance, before disappearing into the sea of people. Still staring, he nodded my direction then raised his bottle in salute sporting a now, huge grin. What had I done by asking him here?</p>
<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>
<p align="center">* * * * *</p>
<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>
<p>Though I succeeded in avoiding Ian most of the night, he stumbled past me a few times—always on his way to the bathroom. Despite his reaction to my actions tonight, with the help of Melanie, I&#8217;d resolved that I was getting a midnight celebratory kiss come hell or high water. If he ratted me out to the entire student body, so be it.</p>
<p>I eyed the clock—three minutes until midnight. Looking around, I noticed most everyone had paired off and seemed particularly happy with their choices for the evening. Just as I was deciding between Emo Rogers lingering alone in a back corner or goofy Jim, who&#8217;d lost himself in table-top dancing all night, I was catapulted forward from a sudden jar to the back.</p>
<p>&#8220;Hey!&#8221; I caught myself seconds before careening over the back of a winged-back chair and whirled around. &#8220;Watch where the fu—&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Sorry,&#8221; Ian said, steadying his balance with the assistance of my outstretched arm.</p>
<p>&#8220;You lush.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Am not.&#8221; With a hiccup, he wiped in vain at his beer-drenched t-shirt, before meeting my gaze.</p>
<p>My attention drifted behind him, and I shook my head. Melanie and Sue stood across the room, giggling.</p>
<p>&#8220;What?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Nothing,&#8221; I said, eying the clock as the crowd began migrating closer the big screen behind me. Emo Rogers had disappeared and goofy Jim was down to nothing but his thong. So much for celebrating the New Year. &#8220;Come on. Let&#8217;s head out. I&#8217;ll get a cab.&#8221;</p>
<p>Ian&#8217;s eyes widened as another wave sent both of us closer to the television which now sported the count-down ball. The noisy room grew louder, trying to drown out the screaming crowd on the TV. With my back against the chair, any space on either side of me was filled with the next wave of partiers and the few remaining steps between Ian and I disappeared just the same.</p>
<p>&#8220;Ten!&#8221; The crowd reiterated the television&#8217;s blare as Ian inadvertently shared the moisture of his t-shirt with mine.</p>
<p>His half-finished bottle teetered as much as he did as he leaned to set it on an end table; I caught him before he made a fool of himself.</p>
<p>&#8220;Nine!&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Hold on before you fall over!&#8221; I yelled above the crowd.</p>
<p>He wrapped both arms around my waist, but his gaze locked hard on mine as he found his footing. &#8220;I&#8217;m not drunk.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Eight!&#8221;</p>
<p><em>Yeah. Right.</em> My straight roommate had a death grip on the back of my t-shirt and wasn&#8217;t as much as flinching at us being pressed junk-to-junk by the drunken mob. He was sober—my ass. I couldn&#8217;t help but laugh.</p>
<p>&#8220;Seven!&#8221;</p>
<p>The intensity of his glare multiplied and if I didn&#8217;t know any better, I swore he pulled himself flush against me. &#8220;I need a cigarette,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>&#8220;Six!&#8221;</p>
<p>Well, that was news to me. I&#8217;d figured he&#8217;d snatched a drag or two each time he disappeared into the bathroom.</p>
<p>&#8220;Five!&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s a New Year&#8217;s resolution.&#8221; His glare softened into a different look, a look I&#8217;d never seen on him—a look of hunger. &#8220;For you,&#8221; he said, leaning closer, filling any remaining distance between us.</p>
<p>&#8220;Four!&#8221;</p>
<p>At that moment, I must&#8217;ve had that deer in the headlight look, but my predictable roommate had thrown me for one helluva loop. &#8220;For me?&#8221; I stammered as his stubbly jaw scraped across my neck and his hands wandered my back.</p>
<p>&#8220;Three!&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I didn&#8217;t know you were gay, until you asked me to the party.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Not many people do. I got an image to uphold for chrissake.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Two!&#8221;</p>
<p>His warm breath rushed over my neck, sending heat coursing through me and pooling down below. He licked a wet trail to my ear, and my cock hardened accordingly as my mind rallied around the fact that my roommate was most likely gay. If it were the beer messing with me or his actions, I didn&#8217;t care. I reciprocated his hold, brushing over what could only be one fine boner as I ground against him. &#8220;Happy?&#8221;</p>
<p>With a chuckle, he adjusted himself. &#8220;That&#8217;s just my toothbrush and toothpaste, dork.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;One!&#8221;</p>
<p>In that instant, as his lips covered mine, his reoccurring bathroom visits made sense. Wanting to ensure my first taste of him left a pleasant imprint, he had been brushing his teeth throughout the evening. And at that moment, when our tongues collided and I fondled his skinny ass beneath my palms, I realized, I didn&#8217;t really care if he tasted like an ashtray or not. My beer-soaked shirt clinging to my chest, Ian clinging to me, I&#8217;d happily trade one predictable torture for another.</p>

<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;"> w/ <em><strong>Tengo una Pistola</strong></em> by Bryl R. Tyne</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;"> </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;">Excerpt:</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Book Antiqua; font-size: small;">My  eyes recognized morning before my head did. I squinted into the rays  escaping the muslin tacked over the small window. Blinking numerous  times, however, failed to clear my vision or my mind. I rubbed my eyes  . . . stretched . . . . Yep, it was morning.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Book Antiqua; font-size: small;">Not  that I dreaded mornings, no. Most mornings I hopped out a bed, eager  for whatever the day may bring. But not today. Again, I stretched, my  body reassuring me it had plenty a rest. And I had. But much like the  residue adhering the hair and skin on my stomach to the sheet, my troubles  glued me to the bed. <em>She</em> was still here, in <em>my</em> place.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Book Antiqua; font-size: small;">Nothing  were more aggravating than waking up without Mitch by my side. Guess  he&#8217;d outgrown me. At twenty-six, he were well past prime settling-down  age. Though, at the thought of him settling for the likes a Carmen as  wife and mother, I laughed. My humor at the impending situation ended  as easily as it had begun, as my worries shifted to Mitch leaving to  make his own life with the wench.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Book Antiqua; font-size: small;">Disrupting  my thoughts, aromas of fresh eggs and fresher coffee wafted into the  room; least he had breakfast going. I breathed the scents in deep as  I climbed from the bed and threw on my clothes.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Book Antiqua; font-size: small;">Maybe  the she-devil were still laid up, fast asleep. If Mitch gave her a riding  like only Mitch could give, wouldn&#8217;t surprise me if she slept well past  noon. I shook the unsavory images from my mind as I tugged on my boots  then crossed the den.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Book Antiqua; font-size: small;">Wouldn&#8217;t  do me a lick a good to start out the day on the ornery side a things.  Besides, exactly <em>when</em> Mitch planned on leaving weighed heavy  on how I approached the topic. Last thing I wanted were to piss him  off, have him high-tail it out a here as fast as his horse would carry  him. One day at a time, I reminded myself on a long inhale as I rounded  into the kitchen.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Book Antiqua; font-size: small;">First  thing I noticed, Mitch weren&#8217;t at the stove. No, the polecat sat kicked  back in his seat at the table. Grin plastered ear to ear, he hummed,  fixated toward the stove, toward that shifty female looking to be cooking  him breakfast.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Book Antiqua; font-size: small;">She  sure weren&#8217;t cooking for me, I made up my mind as I took a seat next  to Mitch. I wouldn&#8217;t let her.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Book Antiqua; font-size: small;"><em>Two-timin&#8217;  bastard,</em> <em>humming . . . . </em> I shook my head at his well-rested ass. Were only one reason he hummed.  If Carmen had eyes in the back a her head, she&#8217;d a winced from the evil-intent  cast her way.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Book Antiqua; font-size: small;">&#8220;Sleep  good, Denton?&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Book Antiqua; font-size: small;">Mitch  straightened in his chair. Coffee in hand, he turned to me. &#8220;Pretty  good, I reckon. You?&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Book Antiqua; font-size: small;">Funny  what having a lady around can do to the size of a man&#8217;s balls. Though  he put on an unusually tough front, I noticed the unsteadiness of his  hands as he sipped his coffee. Score one for the old man.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Book Antiqua; font-size: small;"><em>&#8220;Buenas  días, Senor Samms.&#8221;</em> Carmen smiled at me, setting a piled-high  plate before Mitch.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Book Antiqua; font-size: small;">I  could a done without seeing that kiss she so delicately placed on his  cheek. She scurried back to the stove as, jaw set, I snubbed her greeting.  Breakfast smelled damned good though. I eyed Mitch&#8217;s plate. &#8220;That  an omelet?&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Book Antiqua; font-size: small;">He  washed his bite down with a swig of coffee. &#8220;And fried potatoes.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Book Antiqua; font-size: small;">&#8220;Potatoes?  This time a year?&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Book Antiqua; font-size: small;">&#8220;Pretty  resourceful, ain&#8217;t she,&#8221; he said, matter-a-factly and with a wink.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Book Antiqua; font-size: small;">My  stomach rumbled as I looked toward those green and salmon colored skirts,  ruffles swishing this way and that before the stove. All right, I&#8217;d  concede, this one time, on account a the fact I needed a good meal to  start the day. I picked up my fork, anticipating breakfast. Even afforded  Carmen a slight grin as she set a plate on the table in front of me.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Book Antiqua; font-size: small;">I  weren&#8217;t going soft or anything; just showing my appreciation. <em>Long  as she stayed away from me and mine . . .  . </em>I shoveled in a heaping bite as Mitch busied himself eating. Guess  I might have to accept he weren&#8217;t mine any longer.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Book Antiqua; font-size: small;">Before  realizing I hadn&#8217;t a cup, I grabbed for my coffee.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Book Antiqua; font-size: small;"><em>&#8220;Lo  siento. Aquí.&#8221;</em> Warm breath and soft lips brushed my left ear  as Carmen handed me a steaming cup from over my shoulder.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Book Antiqua; font-size: small;">I  welcomed the drink but shied away. Damned perfume could knock a man  silly. She settled in the seat opposite one grinning Mitch. Setting  my cup on the table, I failed to see what was so damned funny between  them and returned to my food as they commenced to chattering back and  forth.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Book Antiqua; font-size: small;">Last  I knew, Mitch didn&#8217;t talk Spanish. He weren&#8217;t too bad though, I reckoned,  but my attempts to ignore the banter tired. Being left out in my own  place ate at me. They continued, until I shoved my plate ahead. Between  them, it skidded to a stop. Senseless noise halted; two sets of eyes  looked my way. Having garnered their attention, I addressed Mitch. &#8220;Since  when did you start speakin&#8217; her language?&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Book Antiqua; font-size: small;">Carmen&#8217;s  immediate giggle told me that may a been the wrong question to ask.  Mitch held in another chuckle as he looked to Carmen. &#8220;Been practicing  a while, I reckon.&#8221; With his head, he motioned my way. &#8220;Tell  the man, Carmen.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Book Antiqua; font-size: small;">For  a second, her eyes widened. She looked at Mitch as she spoke. <em>&#8220;El  es muy bien.&#8221;</em></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Book Antiqua; font-size: small;">I  could see a pink tint coloring her cheeks as she used her fingertips  to hide a glowing smile. Compared to yesterday evening, she appeared  almost modest. Maybe she weren&#8217;t too bad, for a female. Or so I reckoned  before she began batting those lashes again, and I felt what could be  none other than womanly toes, in all their agility, making their way  purposefully along the inside a one of my knees.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Book Antiqua; font-size: small;">With  a start, I got to my feet, stepping away from my overturned chair, which  bounced once from the floor before settling into a slow rocking motion.  Weren&#8217;t no way in hell I&#8217;d follow Mitch down <em>that</em> path.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Book Antiqua; font-size: small;">I  grabbed my hat and stormed outside. Plenty a work to be gotten to. Time  didn&#8217;t wait. Not for me.</span></p>
