(Sequel to Saturday Night Special)
*
Teri and I got back to the Village about 5 o'clock -- maybe a little before, as the sky had not yet begun to brighten. I felt very affectionate toward her all the way home, but I kept my hands to myself. I had about half a hard-on though, and I mentally scolded myself, hoping my thoughts, and my dick, would cool down.
We stopped in front of her trailer, and we went in to pick up what she needed for the rest of the weekend. She stuffed a couple of swimsuits, a couple pairs of shorts, some t-shirts and some socks into a little overnight bag, and as a second thought grabbed a couple of towels, rolling up an impromptu toilet kit in one of the towels. She pitched in a bottle of nail polish and even a little bottle of perfume, zipped up the bag, and handed it to me to put in the car.
After all that, she reached under her bed and found an old jewelry box. She flipped it open, pulled out two $100 bills, and stuck the money in the pocket of her shorts. And, with a final thought, she dug under the sink in the kitchen and pulled out a quart bottle of Gordon's gin and handed that to me as well.
"I think that's everything," she said. "Let's go get your things and hit the road."
"Don't you think we ought to get a little rest?" I asked her. "We been up all night drinking and everything. We got about a four-hour drive to the beach."
"Bobby, let's just get the hell out of here," Teri insisted. "No telling how long Ronnie's going to be back in town. He might have called the cops on us himself, although I don't think so. And no telling how long it'll take him to get back here. But when he gets here, he's not going to be in a joking mood, you know?"
I rolled my eyes. "Yeah, sis, and it's going to look real good when we get pulled 10 miles down the road and blow a point-15. You night-shift people don't have no sense of time. I have to be at work at 7 in the morning, and I like to have my eyes open when I get to the job."
"Bobby, look. If we get tired, we can stop at a rest stop or just pull off on a side road and doze until you get the red out of your eyes. We'll be all right. Let's just
go.
"
I couldn't argue with her, much less persuade her, so I shrugged, shook my head, and walked to the car. "And Bobby," she called out from the front door. "Here's the keys."
I put her shit in the back seat. I heard her inside, pulling and locking windows. Finally, she came out and pulled the front door shut, then hung a padlock through a hasp on the door and snapped it shut. "None of that's going to stop him," Teri said. "Might slow him down a little. His name's on the lease, so he'll have to pay for anything he breaks."
We got in the Pontiac, and I backed the car down to my place. I felt like I needed a bath, but Teri seemed in an awful hurry. I got an extra pair of jeans, a couple pairs of shorts, couple of shirts, toothbrush, and a hat with the name of a concrete company on the front. It was a comfortable hat, well-worn and fit. I looked in my wallet and saw $50 cash -- that would have to be my contribution.
