Chapter 2
ADAM'S P.O.V
"I promise Guy, I'll look for her tonight when I'm out". I told him down the phone.
"Thanks pal".
"Yeah, you owe me one". I smiled and quickly said goodbye.
I was in New York staying at my brothers and his wife's for a week or two, then I was going back to Minnesota to spend a month with my parents until I started training for the Minnesota Mighty Ducks. Obviously all the hard work over the last 21 years had paid off.
Every since Guy had found out I was coming here, he had constantly nagged at me to try and find Connie. When we all went our separate ways at the end of high school, Connie had accepted a scholarship to NYU, me, Charlie, Julie and Guy went to UCLA and everyone else went off in two's and three's to different colleges spread across the states. Between the four of us, we had managed to stay in touch with everyone except Connie. Her phone calls and emails became less and less until they no longer existed. Guy and Julie had gone mad, continually trying to get hold of her, but it soon became evident that either she was ignoring them or she didn't know. It didn't sound like Connie to just ignore them, but all the same they continued to worry.
"Yo Adam, you ready"? My brother Alex called up to me. He was taking me out, to show me how to go clubbing, New York style.
"Yeah, coming". I called back, as I slipped my wallet in my pocket.
"Have fun guys". Yvonne, my brothers wife called after us as we headed out the door.
God knows why I had let my brother talk me into this, maybe I would enjoy myself, but there was no way I was going to get wasted. I suppose thinking about it, I might as well enjoy myself now while I can, because once I started playing for the Mighty Ducks, there would be no late night parties or going out clubbing every night, well in the on season anyway.
We started off in a pretty subdued bar, which I have to say was pretty boring. After that I was dragged along to a few other bars, the whole time I kept my eye out for any Connie look a likes, but I didn't know why. She'd probably changed that much I would never in a million years recognise her. I mean you'd only got to look at how much we'd all changed, I had grown a little taller and my body had come more toned, Guy's boyish looks had been traded in for a ruggedly handsome(not that I'm gay or anything) trademark, Charlie had previously grown a goatee but Julie made him shave it off before she agreed to marry him, Julie had changed the most definitely, she had cut her hair to just above her shoulders and her body had become more curved and ladylike.
"Bro, what are looking for"? Alex asked me as I glanced around me for what seemed the millionth time.
"I promised Guy I'd keep my eye out for Connie". I replied still looking around me.
"Adam, listen you probably won't see her, I mean this is New York there's a million and one bars and clubs she could be in".
"I know, but at least I can truthfully tell Guy that I tried".
"Your wasting your time". He said as we headed to the bar.
I knew he was right, but I also knew I couldn't go back and tell Guy that I had tried when I really hadn't. I suppose deep down, I wanted to find her, at least then we'd know that she wasn't dead or anything. I had spent the best part of my college life helping Guy and Julie try to track her. Once or twice we had come close but it became apparent that she had dropped out of college, making the whole tracking thing difficult.
"Adam, come on man, we're going". One of Alex's friends beckoned me out of my thoughts.
"Where"? I asked as we walked down the streets.
"The saddle, it's this bar and the girls dance on the bar and everything". Neil, one of my brothers other friends told.
'Girls dance on the bar and everything', the only thoughts that sprang to mind right then was a strip joint, I wasn't particularly in the mood to watch girls shaking it on a bar just for a few bucks to be pushed down the straps of their thongs which I found very demeaning and told them so.
"Relax, it's a perfectly respectable place, the girls are fully dressed, they just dance on the bar along with the jukebox". Alex told me. "Me and Yvonne come here all the time". He continued. Well at least I could put my mind to rest knowing that at least it must be an okay bar if Yvonne had been. We queued up in what felt like a huge queue but it only took us about 10 minutes before we were at the front.
"Hey Sid, how's it going"? Neil started chatting to the bouncer.
"Hey, not bad, yourself". He answered.
"Ok, is she in tonight"? He asked.
"Who Minnie, yeah".
Minnie? Who the heck was Minnie? My confusion must have shown on my face as Alex leant forward and told me that Minnie was one of the bar maids. I nodded in response. I couldn't have been any more shocked if I tried, when we walked through the doors, the place was packed up to the eyeballs, there were 4 women on the bar dancing to 'Trouble' by Pink. After the song finished they climbed down and they began serving the huge amounts of customers. Unfortunately it was my round and the guys pushed me forward through the crowd, shouting their orders after me. When I finally got to the front, a red headed girl asked me what I wanted, I reeled off the list and she immediately got to filling out. Whilst I was waiting I looked around me.
"Ruth, the barrel needs changing". A girl from the far end shouted. Her voice sounded horrifyingly similar but before I could look at her, she had disappeared.
"That'll be $15.40 please". I quickly fished in my wallet, retrieving a $20 and walking away telling her to keep the change.
When I got back I put the drinks down on the table and sat down. I took a sip from my beer bottle and continued staring at the bar.
"What's with you"? Michael shouted over the music.
"I'm sure I've just heard Connie's voice".
"Adam, will you relax, it probably wasn't her". Alex told me.
Before I could responded, there was a huge cheer as the 3 girls jumped back up on the bar and started dancing again. I watched continually, then to my amazement the 4th a brunette jumped up and joined them, I looked at her straight on and I was absolutely sure that, that was Connie. I couldn't be sure as her hair was now much shorter than our high school years and was in a layered style, she was dressed in jeans and a vest top but I was sure it was her. I didn't however say anything, but sat and watched her.
"Come on let's get outta here". I heard Michael say after another half an hour. The bar had quietened but it was still pretty busy.
"You guy's go on, I'll catch you up later". I told them catching a worried look from Alex, but I batted it away with my own.
"Ok, I'll catch you back at home then". He told me then they disappeared, much to my relief.
I must have been sat there another good hour, before I looked at my watch and it read 12.50am. Wow, it didn't feel that late. I had been watching the 'Connie look-a-like' for a while now and with every minute that passed the more sure it was her, I became.
"I'll see you guy's later". I heard a voice shout over the now rather quiet bar. It was her, she was leaving. When she had left I quickly jumped up and started to follow her, hoping I'd have enough courage to stop her and ask her out straight.
Will he, won't he?? PLEASE R&R!!!!!
