Chapter 11

"Here's to Tudge!" Ethan said as he held up his glass. The others held there's up to Ethan's.

"TO TUDGE!"

The music was loud and the beer was starting to get to all of the guys. Gordo was standing at the back of the bar leaning up against the railing, just watching all the guys when a waitress walked by.

"Hey good lookin." She said. Gordo looked at her for a moment not realizing she was talking to him.

"Hi." He said with a smile.

"Do you not remember me?"

"I guess I don't. I'm sorry." Gordo studied her face and her eyes. She smiled a wide smile and it hit him like a ton of bricks. "PARKER?"

"You got it! Didn't ever think I'd see you here."

"I guess the same goes for me. I mean…you work here?" He asked as she leaned in close to him and touched the front of his shirt.

"Yeah I do." She got a seductive smile on her face. "Is there anything I can do for you?" She whispered in his ear as she ran her hands down his chest. Gordo was about to push her away when a smile came across his face.

"There is actually something you can do. How much for a lap dance?

"For you, it's free."

"Ok. Tudge is getting married, and his best man is sitting over there." He said as he pointed over to Ethan. Parker got a discouraged face. "And if you can get a friend to give one to Tudge and you give one to Ethan…well then…maybe I could be next?" Gordo smiled a flashy smile. If there was one thing he knew, it was that Parker could never resist his smile.

"You got a deal babe. I'll be back. Have them sit over there." She walked away, turning to smile at Gordo once.

"Boys Tudge has himself a dance commin up!" Gordo said walking up on the group of guys. "Ethan you and Tudge get over there!" The guys whooped and hollered as Ethan dragged Tudgeman over the set of couches in the corner. "Hey Rod, can I talk to you a second?"

"Sure man." The two walk over by themselves. Rod was very wobble and had to hold onto Gordo to keep from fallen. "What's up man?" Gordo noticed his slurred speech and laughed to himself.

"Listen, I know Lizzie told you about what happened earlier today. I just wanted to say that I'm sorry and I hope there are no hard feelings." Gordo said as he stuck out his hand for Rod.

"Not at all man!" he said as he grabbed Gordo's hand and pulled him into a hug. Gordo patted him on the back a few times. "I know you still love her. She's a tough one to fall for." Gordo's mouth dropped open.

"What did you say?" Gordo asked pulling away from Rod.

"I know man." Rod looked right into Gordo's eyes.

"Ahh, hell, you wont remember tomorrow. Yeah, I do." Gordo said looking back at Rod. He was tense now. He didn't know how Rod was going to react.

"I know." Is all Rod said as he put his arm around Gordo. "I know." Rod smiled at Gordo and nodded his head. "Let me buy you a beer, and we can talk."

The two went over the bar and sat down at the corner by themselves.

"What are guys drinking?" The bar tender asked.

"Two beers please." Rod told him.

"No, no. None for me please." Gordo said.

"Come on man. Drink with me." Rod pleaded.

"I'm sure Lizzie told you. I had a bit of a drinking problem. I've learned to control myself. Water for me, please." Gordo said shyly.

"Ok then the two beers are for me then." Rod said with a smile.

"So Lizzie told you everything?" Gordo asked avoiding any eye contact with Rod.

"Yeah, from how you guys were best friends when you were kids and started dating in high school. And the cheating and drinking and everything in between."

"So I guess you think I'm a scum bag, don't you?"
"I don't know man. You came back and treated Lizzie like crap, but I realize it must be hard to come back and find out the girl you left now has a boy friend. And now that you apologized, it makes a little bit easier to sit here with you." Rod said as he started to drink one of his beers.

"That's good to know. Well I am sorry, for everything."

"Ok. Let's just have fun man." Rod said as he finished his first beer and started his second.

"GORDO! YEAH!" Gordo and turned and saw Ethan and Tudgman sitting on a couch in the corner of the club. Parker was on top of Tudgeman, who had the biggest smile on his, while Ethan was laughing and loving it up with the girl on him.

"Cheers to that!" Rod said to Gordo with is glass held up. Gordo "clinked" his glass with Rods.

"Cheers!"
