A/N Well guys, since school is in, I think I have to start updating just once a week. Bummer. But, here is a new chappie.
Linked arm in arm, Lillian and Abner entered into the ball room. Immediately, they were swarmed with Abner's buddies.
"Abs! What's up mah man?" asked one, with a heavy accent. "Not much, Billy."
'Wow, he's so...business-like.' thought Lillian.
"Whose ya girl?" asked another, this time a short fella with black mop-like hair.
"Oh, this is Lillian. A good friend of mine."
Lillian felt him rub her hand with his thumb as he said 'good'.
"Well she's lovely," the shorter man replied "Wish I had her for meself." he said with a devilish grin. She smiled awkwardly. "Thanks..." The two replied.
Abner led Lillian to an empty table with 6 chairs. Enough for 3 couples. They just sat and relaxed for a moment, then up came another couple.
"Al, Lucy. Hi." said Abner.
"Well hi Abs, what's digging?"
"Not a whole lot."
Al sat by Abner, and Lucy by Lillian. As Abner and Al sat relaxed and spoke, Lillian and Lucy were hunched over with their elbows in their laps, finding things in common.
Soon, the guys got up to go get some food, while the girls stayed to chat.
"So is this your first Mod dance?" asked Lucy.
"Yeah..." replied Lillian, blushing a bit.
"Well you'll have a Helluva lot of fun." Lucy flatted out the top of her orangy ruffled dress. "And you have Abner. He's real big at these. I'll see him waltz around, and he knows everyone. Real cool fella."
"Al seems nice too."
"Thanks. I'm lucky to have 'im. He's saved my ass quite the many times."
"Oh. That's really good."
"Yeah. Oh, here're the guys." They sat back down next to the girls with large plates of food. Lillian and Lucy got up to go get some food for themselves. While they were gone, the guys continued to talk.
"Lillian, nice catch there, Abs. She's real...sexy."
"I know. Nice girl as well. Really kind."
"I bet. But I got Lucy, and I love her."
"She is a great girl, Al. 'Ay, I'ma take Lillian for a dance."
Al said "Good luck." then he whispered "You want me to pull a swift switch for ya?"
"Yeah. Thanks man." Abner got up and took Lillian's hand.
"Let's go dancing."
