"'Cause down the Shore everything's all right
You and your baby on a Saturday night
Nothing matters in this whole wide world
When you're in love with a Jersey girl"
~Tom Waits~
The screen door slams. Deuce and Silvio shuffle into the Prince Bar after their late night gig at the Stone Pony. It's a miserable rainy Saturday night in Asbury Park and there are only a few stragglers left in the dark dingy bar.
Some scruffy longhaired cat is downing his last shot of bourbon while I'm cleaning off the bar counter with a rag. "Honey," he babbles, "I know that it's getting late but I don't want to go home. I am in no hurry baby; time can wait. I don't want to go home." Then he spews out, "Baby you can jus' call me 'The South'." And I'm thinking, can this dude be any more plastered and what the hell kind of name is that anyway?
Deuce leans over the counter and brushes my cheek with his lips. "Looking good, sweet Isabella," he says as he looks me up and down. I smile. It's been a long day and the two of them are a welcome sight for this Jersey girl's eyes.
He whispers with a wink, "Hey baby, can we come home with you tonight?"
My heart skips a beat. I love fucking Deuce; I always have, and Silvio I do when he's with the Deuce.
"Sure, of course darlin'," I say, "just let me finish up here." I glance at the clock as I wipe my hands on my jeans. Oh shit, it's 3:00 a.m. and I'm late closing up. I pour a couple of cool ones for the Deuce and Silvio as they slide onto their barstools. I hastily kick out the rest of the customers.
Silvio is strumming that guitar of his again and singing absently under his breath:
"Sha la la la la la la la ... Sha la la la I'm in love...".
A bright bandana is wrapped around his head and he looks like a wandering gypsy who stayed out too long in the rain. He takes a sip of his beer. "Hey Deuce, you know I'm thinking that Isabella's jeans are so tight they are making her sweet little ass look mighty tempting."
"Yea," laughs the Deuce, "and, man, those beautiful nipples of hers are standing out so nicely under that snug little t-shirt. Damn." His wet dark curly hair falls loosely around his bearded face. A pair of worn out Levis hugs his slender bod and he is wearing a black leather jacket with one of those hooded sweatshirts underneath.
"Hey, Silvio, you know what I'm thinking man? Our little blonde slut is in dire need of some C Street loving," the Deuce drawls huskily.
He pulls a doobie out of his jacket pocket. The Deuce he always has the best pot man.
"I scored a nickel bag from Crazy Janey tonight at the Pony," he tells me.
Deuce, Silvio and I smoke this shit and we are flying high. Silvio starts laughing so hard at something or other, I'm not really sure what, that he spits out the beer he's drinking. This just cracks Deuce and me up. Man that Silvio can get us laughing.
"You know, Isabella, I know how a little bit of reefer gets you nice and hot," teases the Deuce. "Are you feeling horny for us now, baby?"
"Deuce, darlin', you know I always keep myself hot for you and Silvio," I say. I am feeling so spaced now.
"Climb on top of the counter, you naughty little slut, and strip for us nice and slow."
The Deuce walks over to the jukebox and drops his dime in. He chooses his favourite Crystals' number. He lifts me and stands me up on the counter in front of them.
My hips start swaying sensuously back and forth to the haunting melody ...
"He walked up to me and he asked me if I wanted to dance..."
I kick off my red cowboy boots and wiggle out of those tight blue jeans. I am still wearing my white cotton bikini panties.
"Oh, yea, baby," the Deuce shouts out, "and now that little top of yours has to go."
I slowly peel off my t-shirt and start swinging it back and forth over my head to the beat. I am not wearing a bra and my tits are swaying now to the song too.
"So, won't you be my... be my baby... my one and only baby..."
They are both clapping now and whistling and shouting. "The panties have to go now, darlin'. Off with the panties."
I start giggling. I slide my panties down my hips and legs and kick them into the air.
"There go the flying panties." They laugh as my underwear sails through the air over their heads.
"I never get tired of looking at that sweet bod of yours, Isabella," says the Deuce. "Come over here and give me a nice big wet kiss."
