I had another talk with James, and tried to prepare him for what Erin was going to tell him. He’ll be here at 1:30 tomorrow, but I don’t think he ...is going to be staying very long. But just in case, will you have enough time do some brisket after church?”“Yeah, I’ll start it before we go. What else are we having?”“I figured that we could pick up some potato salad and cole slaw on the way home, if Erin and Lynn haven’t planned to make those things.”“Ok, then I won’t worry about anything.” Blossom. When I picked her up that night, I met her family. Her brothers were all big men, and her daddy was even bigger. Me being a Yankee couldn't sit right with them, but they were very hospitable. They seemed okay with her going out with a man considerably older than her.As we drove to the drive in, we talked. Jo was smart, uneducated and innocent. When I say uneducated I mean she had not gone to college. She was literate and well read for such a young woman. She leaned against me and whispered.. He had no shirt on and was reading Nana by Emile Zola. Violet sat on the floor Indian style in only a pink thong staring at the small TV in Rich’s room playing Call of Duty. As she looked up her perfect tits bounced as she cheerfully greeted me. “Hey Jon!” Violet said. “How are you doing?” She seemed a little chipper and that’s when I noticed the empty bottle of Jose Cuervo sitting on the table. This made sense because Rich had a habit of becoming really intellectual when he was drunk. “Hey! I. ”“OK. They’re newlyweds by the name of Maria and Robert Gray Hawk.”As Bennie headed out the door Joel asked, “So, if they don’t know about the contract, why were they seeking security?”“The way Hawk explained it he felt they’d pulled too many people away from their secured area without support, and he wanted to be covered, just in case. I think he’s much more concerned about her than himself. He also remarked about her grandfather having a lot of enemies, and other companies may try to stop.
