But tonight, I don’t feel confident. I feel like an intern who’s in front of the company president on the first day of the job.“Slides 1–12 ar...e done. Can you check them for me?” she asks as she looks up from her laptop.I nod slightly, having trouble saying a simple “yes” as she looks at me with those stupidly clear, green eyes. Who has eyes like that?As if reading my thought process, she gives me a slight smirk and looks down at her laptop again. I force myself to look at the slides in. One day, while out fishing with him and Barbara, I learned that he was gay. I had no idea. No gaydar. It was presented to me by my forthcoming wife. We were gearing up at the back of the truck and she blurted out, "So Bruce, you like to take it up the ass, right?" I nearly shit myself at this comment but Bruce just smiled and said, "I like to give it up the ass too." Well you could have knocked me over with a feather. So now there was this 'thing.' Me, Mr. Ultraconservative. In my upbringing,. I finally stopped struggling and started to move to the beat with Jordan. She grabbed my hands and twirled me around. I thought, for the split second I was facing the other direction, I saw Brad’s tall frame and baseball hat, but when I twisted back around, he was no where in sight. I started to get anxious noticing all the guys looming at the side of the dance floor and I frantically scanned for Brad, looking for a reason to leave the designated dancing area. It’s not that I hate dancing, I. .. well... I mean... I just ain't never had no female out there before, let alone two of 'em." Jake, this is my daughter Julie and her friend Anne. They will stay put or where you want them if that is a problem. I'd like to bring them along though, if it's all right with you of course." Damn... well... I guess it will be okay. Damn. They'll have to sit in the far back though. Balance... I got to have balance. Extra weight-n-all. Ya know?" I'm sure they won't mind that. Will you girls?" Oh no.
