Big Tex's

  My 18th birthday was months ago and I just got out of the worst relationshit of my life. I knew it shouldn't have gone past the first date, but I did it anyway. He was controlling and verbally abusive from the start.  It didn't help that my friends hated him and had no problem letting me know just how much they wanted to drown him in his own hot tub. My soul sister, Maddy, had a plan to knock him out and hold him down to the jets. She said it would take him out faster.  But... I'm stubborn and can not be wrong; a trait I inherited from my dad. (Thanks Pops.) I don't care how right they are. Eight months of my life I'll never get back. Oh well, fuck it. Tonight we're going out and I am finally free to be who I am and not have to listen to what a piece of shit I am for dancing with my friends or laughing at someone's jokes. I love to dance and it's been months. We pull into the parking lot of Big Tex's Road Hall. It's not really a club; the owners turned their reception hall into an under-aged dance hall on Saturdays. A way to keep kids out of trouble I guess. We weren't going to be there long anyway. This was just a stop along the way to see if there was anyone to add to our little party train. 

  I'm feeling nervous and I have no idea why. I've spent every Saturday here since I was sixteen when my parents FINALLY allowed me to start going. With the exception of the last six months of course. We check-in at the door and get our giant Xs across the backs of our hands to mark us as under twenty-one. Giant X's, so dumb. If we wanted to drink, there were plenty of dudes over twenty-one with ice chests that would slip us drinks and all it took was just a little bit of flirting and dry humping on the dance floor. Easy peasy. But, I'm not there for that. 

  As we get into the main area I scan the room. I catch a glimpse of Chuck in the DJ booth. He spots us almost immediately. 

"Well look who finally decided to grace us with an appearance..." I hear Chuck's voice boom over the music. Fucking Chuck. If he wasn't one of my best friends, I would strangle his gay ass. 

 I wave then quickly flip him off. He starts laughing and replies with a flip-off of his own "I love you too Cupcake." 

 Well, I guess Chuck won't be accompanying us to Tremors tonight. So far it's a one-car party train. I scan the room again. "Damn, this bitch is dead," Maddy says. "Where is everyone?" 

"I have no idea," I say kinda annoyed no one here. This has always been the meeting spot, we'd hang out for a bit then all leave to go to the next club or where ever the house the party was at. "Damn, it couldn't have changed that much in six fucking months." 

We cut through the tables and make our way toward the dance floor. Maybe there was someone interesting along the way. Maddy spots Anthony across the dance floor leaning on the stage and starts to walk toward him. Ant sees her and starts to smile his stupid ass cheesy smile. Maddy was one of those chicks who was the center of attention when she walked into a room. She had long black hair with dark brown eyes that would cut through your soul. She was super pale, but it worked for her. I'm sure being stacked with DD tits and an ass you could bounce a quarter off of helped a lot too. She was that friend that every girl needs. Drop-dead gorgeous, but not a bitch about it. Fiercely loyal and wasn't afraid to tell you when you're being a dumbass. I met her in the fourth grade and we were attached at the hip ever since. 

 "Hey there ladies," Ant is staring at Maddy's tits, as usual. "have you told your momma yet?"

"Told my momma what?" Maddy smacks him on the side of the head to make him look at her in the face. 

"Told your momma I'm gonna marry you, and we're going to have fifteen babies."  He wiggles his eyebrows at her. 

"Not even if you were the last man on earth. I'll be a mother fucking lesbian first." She says rolling her eyes. 

"Awwwww Mads, that hurts my heart. I need a drink now." He fakes being stabbed in the chest and digs in his little cooler for a Bud Light Ice. I'm not sure how he got the cooler in the building, Ants only twenty. But, whatever. We both roll our eyes and laugh. If you ever wanted to hear a cheesy pickup line, Ant was the one to go to. That gets him laid like crazy though. These girls just eat that shit up. Ant wasn't a bad-looking dude, just wasn't our type. He was like a brother to me. I heard a plethora of his garbage game, and also witnessed the skanks that shit actually worked on. So that was a hard pass for me. He moved his sights to Maddy, but he'll get bored with it eventually when it doesn't get him anywhere. He's the dog of the group. If it has a pulse and a vagina, he's going to try and get it in bed.  Ant was about 5'9 and had a pretty stocky build. Actually, he was really cut, with milk chocolate skin, and wore these ugly ass round glasses. I keep begging him to get contacts, but he thinks he's sexy. So, whatever my guy. Ant was usually the one who guided everyone in which direction to go from there. I have no idea why he was the designated guide, but he was. 

"Where is everyone? It's dead as hell in here." I asked looking around. 

"Most of the group is already at Tremors. It's just me and Dane right now." He nods across the dance floor to the guy leaning against the railing. Explains how the cooler got there. Danes twenty-one. We walked right by him and I didn't even see him. 

"Why is he over there alone all weird and creepy like?" Maddy looks in his direction and giggles a little. "Did yall break up already?"

"Girl, please. He should be so lucky to have a piece like me." Ant flamboyantly fans himself. "Nah, he didn't want to come here so he's over there pouting like a bitch." 

I look over at Dane and I realize I've only talked to him twice. Once at the memorial of a mutual friend that passed away, then later that evening when the Grand Douche, my ex Ken, invited everyone back to his parent's house to go swimming. His parents were out of town and he wanted to have a party, the memorial was a perfect way to get people to the house. At that time Dane was interested in doucheys sister Sheryl. She was a bigger twat than Ken, which says a lot... but she was pretty. If you like thunder cunts. 

"Hellllloooooo... Vivian!!" Maddy's voice cuts through my thoughts. "What are you staring at so hard?"

"Huh? Oh. I was thinking about commander douche and his twatwaffle sister." I focus back on Maddy and Ant.

"Ew. God, why?? Fuck those righteous inbred assholes. I thought you were looking at Dane. He's sure noticing you right now." She laughs. Maddys yelling my name caught his attention over the loud dance mix Chuck is currently playing. I look over at Dane and dammit, she's right. He's looking right at me. Shit. He has to think I'm weird now.  "Bet you won't go over there and say hello." 

"Bet the hell I will." I eye Maddy as she smiles her sly smile. She knows that kind of taunt will get me to do whatever she wants me to. The good ole "bet you won't". She has gotten me into so much shit over the years with her I dare you and bet you won't shit. Fuck. Now I have to go over there and talk to him... after he thinks I was staring at him. Great. 

"Bet you won't. 'Cause your ass is still standing here. Now scoooot..." she smacks me on the behind and kinda pushes me forward. SHIT SHIT SHIT! What the hell am I going to say? I make my way toward Dane and I see a little smirk come across his face. Damn... He's not a bad-looking guy. I didn't notice that before. I was too hung up in my own shit with the douche canoe. God, I hate that fucker. I still have no idea what I'm going to say. I step up next to him. He fully smiling now. My heart starts to pound in my ears. His smile makes me weak in the knees. Then, it just comes to me. I lean into him and take a breath... his cologne is intoxicating. I get close to his ear and he leans down a little bit to hear what I'm about to say, still smiling. 

"Nice shoes... wanna fuck?" I look from his shoes to his eyes and that smile turns to a form of shock then amusement. He's laughing at me. I cock my head to the side and lift my eyebrow and look at him with a taunting smirk on my face. He leans in close smiling, there's that cologne again, filling my senses and making my legs tremble. He puts his hand on the small of my back and pulls me in close to him. My body reacts without my permission and I lean into him, electricity flowing all over my body. What the hell is that? Why am I reacting like this to a guy I've, basically, just met. 

"I don't think I've ever had a girl ask me that before." He said looking from my eyes to my lips then back into my eyes again. I wanted to fall into him and kiss him like my life depended on it. Snap out of it Vi. This is stupid. He runs with Ant, you already know he's a dog. 

"Come on slutty... time to go." Maddys is pulling me by the hand. Fucking Maddy. She either just saved me from embarrassing myself or cock blocked me. Either way, we were on our way out the door.

"Hey! Wait, where are you going???" Dane called from behind me. 

"Tremors lover boy, wanna come, or do you want to stay and hang out with the babies?" Maddy yells back as we continue toward the exit, never breaking pace or letting go of my hand. 

"Wait... Hang on..." Danes still calling. But we're out the door and headed to the car. 

"Holy shit. He smelled so fucking good! I need to know what that cologne is. Cause FUCK!" I say laughing as I get into the passenger seat. "Are they coming later?" Hoping I would get to see him again. I was going to get that kiss. I needed it.

"Nah, Ant is staying there tonight some new blood came in just before I came and rescued you. And Dane rode with him. So I guess he's staying too." Maddy said eyeing me as she pulled onto the main road.

"Rescued is probably right. That dude would ruin my life, and I was about to let him. Fuck he smelled so good. And that smile! Jesus Christ! I just need to get a piece like that." I fan myself mocking Ant from earlier. "Shit... I didn't get his number. Fuck! Oh well. Guess that shit wasn't meant to be." 

The rest of the night continues. We get to Tremors and find the rest of our group. It was just what I needed. Through all of the fun and laughter the memory of his cologne and the look on his face as he looked into my eyes flashes in my head. I was with him for maybe five minutes. Why can't I get him out of my mind? How did he get under my skin so quickly?  I wonder when I'll see him again.

    *RING...RING...RING...* "FUCK! It's 7:30 in the morning. Who the hell is calling me right now!?!" I'm growling as I look at the clock next to my bed and reach to grab the phone. "Sup Bitch... I've heard about you this morning." you can hear the smile in Chuck's voice. "What are you talking about? And why are you calling me right now... I'm going to kick your ass later." I reply coldly "So... there's someone at my house right now. He's been calling everyone we know trying to find you. Lucky for them, they showed up at the right place. What the hell did you do last night?" Chuck's tone has switched to sly mocking. I'm going over the details in my head. There's nothing standing out. Dancing. Laughing. Late dinner... (or early breakfast, however you want to look at it.) Just the normal stuff. Nothing worth remembering..... Dane... That was worth remembering. The scent of his cologne floods back into my senses.

    A week has gone by and I still haven't heard from Dane. Maddy and I have decided to bypass Tex's and go straight to Tremors. I was completely fine with that after I humiliated myself last weekend. What the hell was I thinking? Hopefully, they're at the other club tonight playing with Ants new flavor of the week. I have resigned myself to it was just him giving a little payback after I left him standing by the dance floor. It's fucked up, but not really a surprise. We are making our usual first lap around the club, just seeing who's there and if there's anyone worth flirting with. FUCK! There he is. Ant and Dane are playing pool on the other side of the bar. I grab Maddy, "Nope. Let's go to the other bar by karaoke. Ant and Dane are right there. I do NOT want to deal with that shit right now." Maddy looks across the bar right as Ant looks up from his shot, they make eye contact and he smiles. "Well, looks like that's out the window. We've been spotted."

    The next few days fly by like a dream. I've learned Dane and Ant are roommates, which explains why they're always together. Dane and I rarely get any alone time. It almost feels like Ant is jealous. I'm not sure of what, but his behavior doesn't feel right to me. Maddy is still annoyed with me for leaving with Dane that night, but she's starting to get over it. Turns out Maddy met her own "Casanova" Saturday night. Frank, Ants buddy, is an interesting guy. He's on the shorter side, about 5'7, golden tanned skin, a shaved head with constant 5 o'clock shadow. But it's the beady brown rat eyes for me though. He always looks like he's up to something. It's almost unsettling. Maddy said it was the uniform that got her. He's a volunteer firefighter and had a picture of himself on top of a car putting out a house fire in his wallet... who does that? Maddy thinks he is the sexiest man walking, I think he's probably on a list somewhere. But she's happy. So I'm happy for her.

    The next morning we were woken up by Tammys screaming "What the fuck!! I told y'all not to do anything on my fucking couch!! Get the fuck up and get out and take your slut with you!" Dane and I were still cuddled under the blanket, naked. Oops, guess we forgot to get dressed. Startled, Dane yanks the blanket up to make sure I'm covered completely. "It's a bit early for all this crazy, don't you think Tammy," Dane says lifting his head to face her. "Last time I checked, we were all grown. And you'll get over it. I promise." He kisses me on the head before dropping his back down on the pillow. Ant comes out of the room, "What is all this yelling... oooo oooo my boy got him some finally. We are gonna talk about it later." Ant says laughing turning his attention to Tammy. "Girl, leave them alone. You're just made they got some and you didn't." "A few times..." Dane mumbles and snickers to himself causing me to smile. I wiggle my rear into him tauntingly. "D

    I was dropped off at home so Ant could go on his "date", and I could shower and get some much-needed sleep. I lay in bed going over the events of the past two days, over and over. How can I be falling for him so quickly? This still doesn't make any sense. What if it scares him off? I've got to try and distance myself. *RING*RING* I check the caller ID, a little disappointed, it's Scott. Not the name I wanted to see, but I haven't talked to him really since he helped me get all of my stuff from Ken's house. "Hello" I answer. "Hey, what are you doing this weekend?" His voice is full of energy and excitement. "Um, nothing that I'm aware of or have plans for. Why what's up?" I reply "So my mom is taking me and my brother to Queenstown for the weekend. Do you want to go?" He asks. "It'll be fuuuuun. You'll have your own room and everything, but we can stay up watch movies, eat bad food and go hang out on the Riverwalk. The hotel we are going

    I woke up to the sound of someone pounding on the dividing door between my room and Scotts. I look at the clock on the nightstand, what the hell it's almost 1:30 in the morning. I get out of bed and open the door."Thank God! I'm soo sorry!!!" Scott pushes past me, almost knocking me over. He runs to my bathroom and slams the door behind him. The next several minutes are filled with sounds of him vomiting and cussing the restaurant they had eaten at earlier. He finally comes out and looks like he's been run over by a Mack truck."What's wrong?" I ask concerned, but I already knew. I was grateful I skipped dinner."Food poisoning..." he moans. "I knew that meat tasted funny. But they swore it was perfectly fine.""Oh, shit. Are all of you sick?" I ask looking to the dividing door again."Not just me and Johnathan. Mom had cheese enchiladas." He flops across the foot of my bed."Well, that's good at least. Do you want to stay

    After a long night of terrible movies and worse snacks, we finally get up and moving around 9:30."Morning sunshine," Scott says. "Ready for some shenanigans?""Sure, let me go shower real quick," I say yawning."I'm gonna go next door and check on my brother and let mom know we are headed downstairs for the day." He says getting up from the bed. "I'll get dressed and stuff over there.""Ok, sounds good. See ya in a bit." I get up and grab my bag and take it to the bathroom. I check my pager to see if I missed any pages, nothing. Hmmm. Ok. Hopefully, they had fun doing whatever it was Ant had planned. I finish my shower and put on some light makeup and get dressed. Scott is back in the room and ready to go."You look nice," he says with a warm smile. "Thanks for being so patient with me while I was sick. I had fun last night. But you are grounded from movie selection from now on. Those were God awful." He laughed."He

I don't see them very much during the week, but with my classes and work, I don't have much free time anyway. I have to settle for talks on the phone and visits on Saturday and Sunday. Ant has laid claim to Friday nights as "boys night", they go do whatever they do and I usually hang out with Maddy. She and Frank didn't work out.

Maddy and I are hanging out in my bedroom listening to music when my pager goes off. Its Dane. I grab my phone to call him back. He picks up on the first ring. "Hey, baby! I missed you today."

    After we left the watch lot and picked up Maddy, we decided to go to Bayfield Beach. When I was a kid, we would go every weekend. My dad would fish from a nearby pier and my mom would take us down the beach to swim. Lots of good memories here. I wiggled into my usual spot next to Dane and got comfortable, completely relaxed after much-needed alone time."What made y'all decide to go to Bayfield this late in the afternoon?" Maddy asked breaking the silence."Just something to do, "Ant said. "Don't like the beach Maddy girl?""I like it just fine. It's also cold as shit. I'm not getting in the water." She said"Who said you had to go swimming? We're just going to play in the sand and hang out on the strip for a little while." Dane said."I always forget about 3rd Street," Maddy said.The truck goes silent for the rest of the ride. Ant parks near the seawall and we all get out.

But the professor isn't in, there's a note on the door. Family emergency. See you Friday. Well, looks like I have the rest of the day off. Now what. So I stop by the math lab to see if they need any extra help and maybe I can pick up some extra hours. Nope, they don't need me today either. Well shit. I wander the campus for a little while, checking out the random sculptures placed in the grassy common areas. My pager goes off, it's Dane, odd. Why isn't he at work? I find a payphone and call him back."Hey babe!" he says "I didn't expect you to call for another thirty minutes. Arent you in class?""The professor had a family emergency. So, no class today." I say blandly "I've just been meandering around the campus. I really don't want to go home yet.""Well..." he pause

I ask pissed off as I look at the time on my pager. "And why did they let you in at five fucking thirty?""Morning Babe!!" He sounds chipper and ready to face the day. I really hate moring people.

    Tammys has run her mouth one too many times. Maddy is on top of her landing punch after punch. She's trying to block but she can't get her hands up before Maddy's fist comes back down on her again. Tammy manages to buck Maddy off, but she tackles her to the ground again. Ant and Dane finally get Maddy off of her and Tammy sat up, her face is already starting to swell from the assault. Blood is coming from her nose and mouth, black eyes are already starting to form. Frank helps Tammy to her feet and she shits some of the blood out onto the ground. And then there it is, she runs her mouth again, "You're lucky you caught me off guard bitch! Next time there won't be any sucker punches."Maddy starts to fight to get away from the boys. "I didn't sucker punch shit. I beat your ugly ass. And you saw that shit coming."

I keep telling myself it's a new relationship and it's puppy love, you know all that good shit. There is just something about him that gives me a bad feeling. I know he cares about her, and God I know she loves him. I have this nagging feeling he's going to hurt her in the end. I don't think it's going to last. He spends Friday nights with Ant, why? They're together every single day. Why do they need a Boys Night? Every damn day is a boy's night. She's not bothered by it, I don't know why I am. I'm happy for her, especially after the year she's had. Losing her dad, that abusive asshole, her mom falling deeper and deeper into depression... I'm proud of her for taking classes and getting a job. It keeps her moving and she doesn't focus on the bad. That is part of the re

    Lunch was fun, the entire group went to a local Pizza Inn to hit the buffet. Chuck let me know that he was not there to play football. He was a spot filler. So he did not touch the ball or get tackled. "Nothing like a group of filthy sweaty men to get the blood pumping," he said. Dane and I sat on the outer side of the large U-shaped booth. He kept his arm around me, every now and then he would lean in and kiss the top of my head, once he whispered in my ear "MINE" before the kiss. There was a lightness to him now. I ate my pizza and chatted with Maddy and Chuck about everything and nothing at the same time. Most of the large group ate and left, leaving our booth and the small table in front of it where Scott and the Grape-Apes sat. I have been wondering all afternoon what Ant said to them when they went on the field to Tattle on us for not letting them in the truck. "Hey babe," I began. Dane looked at me with love in his eyes.
