While filling up the tank I decided to call it a day and get a room here in this little Podunk town in northern Louisiana. With a bed secured for the night I now needed to fill my stomach. I could hear the music radiating from the place as soon as I open my car door to get out.
From a booth in the corner I watched the locals in their habitat. Things never really change from town to town I have noticed. You walk into a bar any where and the same things will be going on no matter where you are. People flirt, cheat, laugh, and drink too much in every bar. I was seeing nothing to make this place unique, that is until she walked by on her way to tables in another section. She looked so familiar, and she smelled like, hum hard to put a finger on what she smelled like. Something like the smell of warm pie on a fresh breeze in early spring. Weird. I am kind of freaking my self out, why can't I take my eyes off this girl. Just then there was some raucous laughter coming from the back where the pool table was.
Surrounded by a group of guys were two men. Two beautiful identical men. As much as they looked alike one of them just shown with this glow the other would never hope to have. Oh, his smell was like the waitress but so much stronger. I was openly staring trying to figure out what it was about this man that I felt so drawn to. He was beautiful but it was not lust that held me mesmerized. My gut was trying to tell me something that my brain just could not understand.
He looked up at me from across the room and his face slowly smiled at me. Okay, I am used to men smiling at me. I am not modest enough to deny that I am hot. Why would I? I have a mirror. Not that I am so vain that I put much stock the genetic lottery I seemed to have won in the looks department. I was tall and shaped like a woman should be. I had a small waist and my coke bottle curves were framed with inky black hair that fell softly below the swell of my hip. I had bottle green eyes that tilted up at the corners. My rose stained mouth naturally curved up giving a perpetual smile that hinted at secrets only I knew. So like I said men smiling at me was not something new, but this was.
I found my heart racing and my breath held when he started my way. It took me a moment to realize that the only sound I could hear was the pounding in my ears. Damn, I did it again. The whole place was frozen. Okay deep breathing should calm my nerves enough to get time going again. In and out, in and out, okay there is the music.
"Hello my Sister, and just where did you come from?" What! Okay now the damn place is going to stay frozen for a while. There is just no calming down from that whopper with deep breathing.
Okay, so I can tell from looking at him that he is in no way related to my small pale mother Blossom. He glows from within like the sun touches him here in the night while the rest of the bar is deeply shaded in shadows. He is golden and looks like an angel. Oh shit! No. No, no no no.
"So are you going to sit there muttering to your self or are you going to share with me your name and why the rest of the Bar is frozen? My name is Dermot."
