“Isn’t that Tessa over there with Tonya and Buzzard.”
“Where?”
Villain had a thing for Buzzards’ other daughter who babysat at the Eagles Nest. That made the girl sound too young for him, but Villain’s on the younger side of his twenties.
Just as he walked off, I noticed Satan snoozing.
“Just us old men, here,” I joked.
“Fuck you talkin’ about, boy?” Satan put his finger to his ear. “I can hear if a cricket farts across the room, even with the music.”
Ginger slammed her drink down in front of us. She was drunker than a skunk.
“Your whores left me in your room all morning. I pissed in your floor. You’re welcome. I have a son. I can’t handle it anymore.”
“You can’t handle little Jimmy? Squirt is a handful, but you really shouldn’t give him up.”
“You know what I’m talking about. I can’t handle your shit. You were supposed to have a night alone with me last night.”
“We did. Didn’t we?” I honestly couldn’t remember.
“Then why were your whores there when I woke up?”
I watched Satan take out his hearing aid.
Any other time, I’d have accompanied someone talking like this to me to the dumpster, even a woman. Dumped them in. But as it was, women and children were here. I tried to deflate her. “Old habits die hard, love. Memphis and Junebug are my protection. They sleep near me even if we don’t have sex. We’re a package deal.”
“But you said we’d have a night alone.”
“I did?” I shrugged. “At the very least the girls are always in the other room.”
“Where are they now?”
Memphis danced around big Goliath who sat like a statue of Buddha. Junebug played darts with some of the single men and other sweetbutts. “Not necessary. I’m surrounded by my brothers,” I said, not wanting to explain myself.
“They were naked.”
“Aren’t they always? We sleep naked.”
Ginger stormed away. I found I didn’t care one bit.
Opry came over to greet Satan and joined me at the table. “Who’s your new woman?” I asked him.
“Just someone who came in the other night to audition. Leo’s her name. Short for Leonora. Great dancer. One of Ralph’s girls though. I paid him and hired her on. She put in her two weeks.”
“Just tips, right?”
“Of course, unless she proves herself.”
“And you brought her as a date?”
“Actually, she didn’t realize we were closed tonight. I told her to come party a few times before she starts.”
“She’s a bit young for you.”
“Man, you’ve got to drop the old hags like Memphis and Junebug.”
I was glad Satan had his hearing aid out.
