Look, baby, you need me to be in trouble. Or else we don’t get to see each other.
Unless we see each other outside the realm of hockey and therapy… which is…
I took a deep breath.
“I’m with Rome,” I called out. “I need a fucking drink!”
“Hell yes, Joe!” Rome yelled. “Drinks!”
“Drinks!” I bellowed.
I had simple intentions in mind.
Have a drink or two and then sleep.
‘Oh my god,we’re not supposed to be in here!’
‘Not if you talk like that. Just relax, baby. We’re going to get drinks. Just watch.’
‘Are you sure?’
‘Look at me. I look older than all the guys here.’
I throw my arm around my girl and go up to the bar.
I order two shots of whiskey and two beers.
Anna’s face is surprised when I get served.
I brush my lips to her ear. ‘Don’t look so shocked. I told you tonight was going to be wild, baby.’
We down the shots of whiskey.
Anna’s face twists and she coughs when she shoots the whiskey.
I pull her close and she buries her face into my chest, coughing and laughing.
Her hair smells like apple and honey.
I order another shot of whiskey for myself.
After I’m done, we take our beers and go hide in a corner.
That’s when the trouble starts.
Some guy thinks it’s okay to walk up to Anna and ask for her number.
Maybe there’s some kind of etiquette in a bar, I’m not sure.
What I do know is that nobody just walks up to my girl and starts asking for her number. Trying to act cool and tough.
So I punch the guy right in the nose.
He spins around and drops to his knees, clutching his face.
Two other guys come charging for me.
Big. Mean.
