Chapter One--Sisters
Although I'd been warned about moving to Luna Vista, one of the seediest suburbs in Las Vegas, I wasn't going to let a few rumors keep me from passing up a sweet deal like this. Six-hundred and fifty bucks for a two bedroom house with a bath and a half, a garage and plenty of space between my neighbors and myself. Now I could finally play my guitar as loud and obnoxious as I damn well please.
After getting the basics situated, a few cooking items, something to sleep on and most importantly, my music and guitar, I couldn't help but to christen my new abode with some kick-ass riffs to find my neighbors tolerance zone.
No sooner than I found myself immersed in my latest original piece inspired by a certain nameless, faceless woman, I was startled by this dainty little voice straining to overcome the volume of my screaming solo,
"Wow, I could listen to music like that all day!"
My eyes looked up to find not a teenager, but a compact package of natural beauty whose lace tank-top barely kept her impressive bust in check. Indeed, though there was definitely something about her that gave her an air of maturity, I somehow thought flirting was out of the question. At least for now.
"Are you always so friendly to strangers?"
A cute, pouty smile emerged as she lightly bit a plump, cherry red lip.
"Are you always so inhospitable? I was just curious as to whether or not another asshole would be moving in."
Her demeanor had a disarming way of making me feel like I was the one being an asshole.
"I'm sorry, it's just I'm not used to people who aren't up to anything but to check out what I've got to rip off. Name's William, but you can just call me Bradley, my middle name. And whom may I ask, would you be? Miss, Missy or just Ms.?"
"Well, my name is Jasmine, not Jazzy and definitely not J.C., got it?"
I laughed, "Okay, Miss Yasmine."
"Don't be a jerk, Bratley, it doesn't suit you very well. I saw the expression on your face while playing your guitar. It's almost like you're having an orgasm. Is it true?"
Jasmine's question caught me off guard. "You girls are even worse than we are, but yes, some say so. Do I really look like that when I'm ripping out a solo?"
Eyes wide, Jasmine sat on the tailgate and said, "Yup, but if you ripped off that sweaty t-shirt, you could be my real rock star."
"If you're trying to get me naked, then don't act so innocent. It doesn't suit you very well."
Truth be told, I needed to get this dirty rag of a shirt off, so up and over it went as I brought a rhythm up into a steadily growing fusion solo, blending blues with sweet nuances a la` Bruce Becvar. The likes of which I'm sure Miss Blondie hadn't yet heard.
