"Hey Eddie.. wait up" They called
"Sorry ladies I'm in a bit of a hurry" Eddie replied hardly slowing down
"I don't remember you being in such a hurry that night on your tailgate" the one on the right said stopping Eddie dead in his tracks
"Me either, what's the matter Eddie you've had us both on separate occasions, scared you can't handle us together" the left one added
"Unless of course that kiss means you and Janet are back together" one twin asked
"I don't really feel like that's any of your business" Eddie replied
"Maybe that's the problem you haven't felt anything worth while lately" the other said running her hand across his jeans and taking a firm hold of his uncontrollable erection.
Damn that feels good Eddie thought. How could it not, he had a pair of twins feeling him up. He hadn't had dirty sex in over a year or sex at all for that matter in a while.
In no time they were both working his crotch and kissing all over his neck. "Where's your truck" her sister asked and Eddie pulled back from them. The whole thing took only a matter of seconds from the time they touched him till the time he pulled away.
"See I was kind of in the mood for something a little more interesting than a cheap lay by Knights Ridge's easiest" Eddie barked and pissed them off enough they would never bother him again as they headed back inside. He had been biting his tongue for months, the second they found out him and Janet were having trouble they started in on him every chance they got. It didn't help that they thought he was so horrible that he couldn't remember who he had slept with and neither of them were on that list.
Hello again, it's you and me, Kinda always like it used to be, Sippin' wine, killing time, Trying to solve life's mysteries
How's your life, it's been a while, God it's good to see you smile, I see you reaching for your keys, Looking for a reason not to leave
Eddie headed around the side of the building knowing Janet would be taking her break soon and he wanted to catch her when she came through the door but when he got to his truck that he backed in by her charger the tail gate was down and there sat a empty bottle of Janet's favorite beer and a fresh bottle of his. She left after she heard about the tailgate. He figured Janet had overheard the twins and he lost another piece of her.
Eddie picked up the bottle of Janet's beer and slung it as hard as he could against the side of the building. Then picked up his and sat down on the tailgate and took several slow sips before he threw the still half full bottle as well.
If you don't know if you should stay,If you don't say what's on your mind, Baby just breathe, There's nowhere else tonight we should be
--
The girls were in their own little world talking about the drunk state of their men at the bar. The guy's were steadily getting drunker and watching when Janet came back through the door. Then the twins through the front door shortly there after then Janet back out the back door, but no Eddie
--
"What the hell, Latekka" Janet said harshly when the bottle busted against the wall as she opened the door and was covered in beer.
"Son of bitch, Janet" Eddie yelled as he un-assed the tailgate
"Why are you screaming at me, you threw the damn thing at me" Janet ripped back as Eddie made it to her
"I didn't throw it at you, you opened the damn door" he followed her back to the truck
"Well, excuse the hell out of me" Janet sat on the tailgate.
"Just sit tight for a second" Eddie ordered as he stepped through the back door purposely blocking it open so he could ensure Janet was okay, he didn't like her sitting there alone.
"Sully got a first aid kit" Eddie asked to the employees that were standing there
"Sounds like a personal problem to me" Rooster replied
"Seriously, no joke I'm not in the mood for your shit" Eddie ordered and Karen handed it to him around Roosters back and Rooster walked off . Eddie briefly explained what happened to Karen.

You wanna make a memory?
Janet started to get up and Eddie ordered her to sit when he came back through the door . He always threw a fit about her going outback that late by herself as it was.
"Would you stop screaming at me" Janet asked loudly
"Fine, but you have to sit" Eddie said in a calm tone.
He opened the kit and cleaned her hand that had invisible cuts but bled none the same. He wiped over her hand with an alcohol swab "You hurt worse than the glass did" she tried to snatch her hand from him once the alcohol started to sting
Eddie held on tight and blew on it. "Stop being a baby" he told her
"Let me hit you with a bottle and see how big of a baby you are"
"I didn't hit you with it" he corrected her harshly but with out yelling
"Why did you throw the damn thing to start with" Janet asked as he continued to take his time with her hand
"I was pissed but I guess I should have checked with you first to make sure I didn't want to do it for the wrong reasons" Eddie told her
"That's not fair and you know it" Janet barked at him about the time Rooster came through the back door with some boxes to put in the dumpster.
It's bittersweet to hear you laugh, Your phone is ringing I don't wanna ask
"Are you okay, Janet" Rooster asked as Eddie kept his back turned to him and continued to take care of Janet's hand
"Just go back inside" she told him
"What happened" Rooster asked as Eddie just closed his eyes and took in a deep breath
"Nothing" Janet said harshly knowing how upset Eddie was becoming every second he had to listen to Roosters voice. She squeezed his hand.
"You don't need first aid kits for nothing, why didn't you tell me it was for her" Rooster addressed Eddie
Eddie opened his eyes and looked at Janet. "It doesn't matter who it was for, you wouldn't give it to me which is fine it isn't the first time you hurt Janet trying to get to me" Eddie barked out and Rooster started in on the whole Rory situation.
"I'm not going to stand here and explain myself to the man that had sex with my girlfriend while I was getting the shit beat out of me because of her" Eddie said looking Janet straight in the eye and talking coarsely to her
"JUST GO" Janet told Rooster and he finally stomped back inside
If you go now, I'll understand, If you stay, hey, I've got a plan, We're gonna make a memory,You wanna steal a piece of time, You can sing the melody to me, And I can write a couple of lines

Sully stopped Karen when she delivered another round for the guy's.
"What the hell's going on out there" he asked and Karen whispered in his ear "Is she okay" he asked and Karen told her yeah
"Tell Latekka to take her home" Sully ordered
"Well"
"What's up" the guy's pounded Sully with questions
"Their entitled to some privacy" he answered
"I wish I had some" Ronnie raised a shot thinking about his discussion with Jerry
--
Rooster bumped right into Karen on her way out and he never gave it a thought. She opened the back door and Eddie heard the hinges
"Is that him" Eddie whispered to Janet
"No" she whispered back
"Sorry, I don't mean to interrupt, Sully said to go on home" Karen said to them
"Tell Sully thanks, but if he ever grabs my ass again I'll sue him for it" Janet said and Karen nodded her head and let the door close. When Janet looked up at Eddie he had a few tears running down his cheek.
"Hey, I'm okay look my hands… not even bleeding anymore, I've had a lot worse than that" Janet told him
Eddie leaned forward and propped his hands on the tailgate at her hips and dropped his head on to her chest. He stayed like that for several minutes.
"Hey, are you okay" Janet asked softly and when he raised his head up she could see the answer. His eyes were red and for the first time in Eddie's life he let someone see him fully cry.
"I love you" he whispered
"I know, I love you to, Eddie" she whispered back as he slid his hand beneath her hair and cupped her face. He leaned into her both of them more nervous than the first time they kissed and just like on their first date he kissed her forehead.
Janet wrapped her finger around his strong forearm and closed her eyes. Eddie just left his lips pressed against her forehead for what seemed like an eternity but in all actuality just mere seconds. When Eddie pulled away Janet kissed him on the mouth but quickly. Eddie pushed into a short kiss as he encased Janet's top lip between his pulling gently as he let go, followed by Janet doing the same as she gently kissed the side of his mouth and again as their speed picked up and slowed down several times until Janet was standing against him and they were both gracefully slipping their tongues into one anothers mouth and sucking as they eased off.
By the time they stopped long enough to have a rational thought they were dancing to the blaring music from the bar. Eddie held Janet's hand in his and her head laid against his chest.
You wanna make a memory?
"Eddie, I don't have it in me to leave again" Janet whispered
"I don't think I have it in me to stay" Eddie whispered back and Janet knew it was because of Rooster. Having to deal with him, actually speak to the man she gave Eddie's entirety to, she was just amazed he found it in him to kiss her let alone stand there and hold her next to him after such a recent reminder.
"We have to talk about it, Eddie" Janet asked
If you don't know if you should stay, And you don't say what's on your mind, Baby just breathe, There's nowhere else tonight we should be, We Should be
"I want to do just what we're doing, I'll deal with being mad when I get home" Eddie answered and they danced in the back parking lot of Sully's. Nick decided to check on them and when he eased the door open he saw them dancing just as peaceful and quiet as he had ever seen two people.
"Never seen him dance before either, have you" Sully said quietly to Nick and they eased the door back shut
--
"What's goes on" Ickey asked as Nick joined their table again
"They fighting or kissing" Owen asked
"Neither" Nick replied
"I've never done it in a truck before, I should talk to Lacey about that" Ronnie said to his drunk self
"Baby Bro, you better just stick with the I'm sorry's until you sober up or else your new bride in going to make herself a widow" Ickey suggested
"Have you ever seen Eddie dance" Nick asked
"Eddie don't dance, no where no how no matter how drunk, not even to for a piece of…" Ickey stated to be fact
"He is right now……Sully said he's been dancing with Janet forever" Nick reported
