Forward Five YearsChapter 8
It was new years eve, December 31, 19 1905 in San Francisco. Fire works were going off. The whole city was lit up. Confetti colored the roads. Champagne,
And beer was served everywhere, even in the water fountains.
It looked more like the 4th of July then New Years. There was even a parade going on. It was an exciting year indeed, and Cub Conlon was all up in the hype.
After Cub's father died two years ago, Cub became the owner of the riotous Holiday Saloon and he's been the King of San Francisco ever since. But in reality he's quite popular since he arrived to this city. The girls automatically loved him; the men either hated him or wanted to be him. It was just like being back in Brooklyn. He still missed that place and always wondered what his friends were up to now.
Suddenly everything goes quiet as a fire truck goes by.
"Where's the fire at?" Conlon asked as soon as a couple of Fire Fighters picked him up "at the Barberry Coast." "That could be my place." Soon they were at the joint. It was more like an apartment complex.
"This isn't your joint Mr. Conlon." "No it isn't hot enough for my place."
Cub started to make his way towards his joint. Going past drunks, and saying quick hellos to the women who loved him. He made it in time to hear his showgirls the "Happy New Years song. He said hello to all his friends and the manager told him that Keira had been saving a spot for him.
"Hello Keira." Cub said happily "Hello Cub." She gave him a good long kiss on the lips. "I want you to meet my husband Russ." She announced after she kissed him.
"Hello." Cub said with no worries. "Hello." Said Russ; he was so drunk he didn't care that the guy just kissed his wife. That's how it was then, it was like no one had a care in the world.
As the party continued a young lady came into the joint. "Excuse me, but do you own this place?" She asked the man standing next to her. "Well mam. I am the manager of this joint, so I guess I could say that. What can I do you for?"
My names Constance Blake, my place burned down, so I was wondering if I could find a job here."
"Oh yea that place on Morrison St. well then Cub is the one you want to talk with. He's the one who really owns this joint. Here I'll take you to him.
Jim took Constance back into the many rooms for the dancers to change, till they finally made it to Cub's room. Cub was sitting back in his room; he needed to be alone. It's been five years since I've seen her, she's probably married with a kid by now, and she always was a looker! Cub thought. He tried so hard for the past five years to get Jesse off his mind, but something would always remind him of her.
I should have just brought her with me, I should have written to her. What if she's hurt, or worse? Man why did I ever leave New York without her? He was interrupted by his thoughts when he heard a knock on the door.
"Who is it?"
"It's Jim, I got a girl here who's looking for a job, she's a real looker boss."
"Bring her in." Great just what we need another girl trying to throw herself at me, so she'll get the job? He thought to himself, facing away from the figure behind him. "Boss, this is Constance Blake her apartment burnt down so she's looking for a place to stay."
Cub slowly turned towards the girl and almost immediately stopped breathing.
"J, J, Jesse?" He stuttered. "Cub, I should've known. "She jumped straight into his arms and quickly gave him a kiss on the cheek.
"Jesse wow, when did you get here?" "I've been living here with Samii for two years, I didn't think you'd still be living here, but I guess you've done good."
"What's Samii doing now anyway?" "Well, her and Jack got together finally, and they just married a few months ago. Jack started up a band, so they've both been traveling a lot, a few years ago Samii came to one of Jack's shows here in San Francisco and she loved it so much her and Jack moved here a year later, taking me along with them."
"Well I'm glad they did god I've missed you so much Jesse, I thought I'd never see ya again." "Well, I always said life was full of surprises."
"Yeah, and you were right, anyway so you still looking for a job here?" "Only if you want me to work here." "Well let's see if you still have an amazing voice like you used to." "Ok, I wrote this one song a couple of years ago, do ya wanna hear it?"
"Sure, go ahead."
'You think you know me
Word on the street is that you do
You want my history
What others tell you won't be true
I walked a thousand miles while everyone was asleep
Nobody's really seen my million subtleties
Got stains on my T-shirt
And I'm the biggest flirt
Right now I'm solo but that will be changing eventually
Got bruises on my heart and sometimes I get dark
If you want my auto
Want my autobiography
Baby just ask me'
Cub was in awe; she sounded so much better than what he remembered. He just sat there and wondered where this energy came from! Plus his heart seemed to be pounding to the beat of her voice.
I hear you talking
Well it's my turn now
I'm talking back
Look in my eyes
So you can see just where I'm at
I walked a thousand miles
To find one river of piece
And I'll walk a million more
To find out what this shit means
Got stains on my T-shirt
And I'm the biggest flirt
Right now I'm solo
But that will be changing eventually
Got bruises on my heart
And sometimes I get dark
If you want my auto
Want my autobiography
Baby just ask me
I'm a bad ass girl in this messed up world
I'm a sexy girl in this crazy world
I'm a simple girl in this complex world
A nasty girl
You wanna get with me
You wanna mess with me
Got stains on my T-shirt
And I'm the biggest flirt
Right now I'm solo
But that will be changing eventually
I laugh more than I cry
You pissed me off goodbye
Got bruises on my heart
And sometimes I get dark
If you want my auto
Want my autobiography
Baby just ask me
"Well what did you think?" Jesse asked, concerned. Wow I'm speechless, you're definitely hired." "Thank you so much Cub you won't regret it. "She gave him one more kiss and hug before Jim showed her where her new room was gonna be.
"Wait, Jesse." Cub called before she left."
"What."
"Would you wanna hang out tomorrow, so we can catch up on the time we missed?" "I'd love to Cub, good night."
"Good night."
Later that night Cub tried to get to sleep, but he was just so happy Jesse was back in his life.
"But why is her name Constance Blake now?" he asked himself. Then finally feeling drowsy, he thought that he'd just ask Jesse tomorrow.
