Excerpt
Ryder Just when I thought I was going to be having a boring Friday night… I figured I’d be sitting at home or hitting up some local bar, but my buddy Judd just got stationed down at Ft. Stewart and he got a pass for the night. We’re going to hit up some little bars down in Richmond Hill. It’ll be good to have a few beers with him. I think he’s going to be deployed soon and he’s like a brother to me. Good thing we both had some great fake IDs made two years ago. When we pull my Jeep Wrangler into the parking lot of the Swampy Tonk, I can tell tonight is going is going to be interesting. I look two spots over and see the bright red Camaro that picked up Scarlet today. Hmm, so this is where they started their night off. We walk into to the bar and I see her across the room, dancing with her friend. “Judd, I may need you to keep that little raven haired beauty on the dance floor busy tonight.” “Damn, bro, I don’t think that’ll be a problem for me.” A nice slow song pipes up just in time for Judd to make his way over to Scarlet’s friend and ask her to dance. Scarlet make her way to the bar and so do I. “Can I buy you a drink?” While turning her head, she smiles. “Sure.” Until she sees that it’s me offering. “Ugh, damn, just my luck. No, I’ll get my own drink, thanks.” “I just want to buy you a drink to say sorry.” “Fine.” I motion for the bartender to give her another and I get a beer for myself. “Didn’t think I would run into anyone I knew down here.” “We came here to get away from the locals and celebrate my birthday.” She has a cute little slur going on. “So it’s your birthday?” I ask. “No, it was a few weeks ago, but I’ve been kinda busy.” “Wow, well, I’ll buy you another drink for your birthday then.” “No thanks. We also came down here for the cute military guys. See? My friend’s already found one.” I laugh. “That’s my best friend, Judd. He’s who I came here with tonight.” “Great,” she says.Enter a Rafflecopter giveaway from the FABULOUS SM Donaldson!
