A Night With The Cobras
When I woke up it was 6. The guys would be here in an hour. I ran upstairs, thinking about what I should wear. Then I realized I didn't have anything to wear. I opened the closet anyway. All of my clothes were hung neatly inside. I opened the draws and all of my socks and underwear were in there too. I had all my clothes with me. I guessed that somehow the little old lady did it for me.
I took another quick shower and tried to decide what clothes to wear. I found a white tank top and put on some Capri's. I figured this wouldn't stand out too much in 1950 something. There were definitely worse clothes I could wear. As for my hair I left it down, letting it air dry. I heard a car pull up and a horn. I quickly looked at myself in the mirror. My strawberry blond hair actually looked good and the Capri's went perfect with my white shoes. I smeared some peach lip-gloss on, grabbed the key, my cigarettes, and was out the door. When the boys saw me they whistled playfully. I just laughed and got into the car. This time I sat in the middle of Eyeball and Billy in the back. Ace was driving and Vince was sitting shotgun. "So where are we going," I asked? "You'll see when we get there," Ace said, with a mischievous smile.
"So it's like a surprise," I said.
"Yeah," Eyeball said. "It's a surprise."
I sat back and when Eyeball 'casually' put his arm around me I didn't say anything. I just looked at him. He smiled and I smiled back. It's just a harmless flirtation I thought.
Thanks to Ace's driving we were there pretty fast. He was somewhat of a maniac when it came to driving. I didn't really mind it though. I actually kind of enjoyed it.
"Where are we," I asked?
"You'll see," Ace said. "Come on. We have to walk through the field."
This didn't sound like such a good idea. I mean weren't they the bad guys in the movie? I didn't really want to get out of the car. Eyeball sensed my uneasiness and gave me a smile.
"Come on," he said. "It's worth the walk. I promise." He held out his hand. I looked into his eyes. They were warm and friendly, void of any malice. So against my better judgement, I took his hand and got out of the car, so I could walk into a deserted field with 4 boys I didn't know. Real smart I thought to myself.
Eyeball held my hand the entire walk, which wasn't that long. Ace stopped suddenly and I looked around.
"Is this it," I asked?
"This is it," Ace said.
I looked around. There wasn't anything except a lake, some trees, and an old abandoned pick up truck.
"What are we supposed to do here," I asked?
"Nothing. Hang out," Ace said. "Well unless there's something else you had in mind," he said grinning slyly.
I laughed. "No. That's okay. Hanging out is just fine," I said.
"Alright then. Now that that's settled," he said. "Vince. Go get the beer."
"Could you grab my cigarettes," I asked? "They're in the back somewhere."
Vince ran off to get the beer and my cigarettes and returned in a few seconds carrying a case of beer and my cigarettes.
"Catch," he said as he tossed my cigarettes at me and set the beer down.
I sat down on the old pick up that had probably been sitting there for ten years. Eyeball grabbed a beer and sat next to me.
"Want a beer," Ace asked?
"Sure," I said. He gave me a beer and I took a sip.
We all just sat around and talked. The guys goofed around. I was having a good time.
