“Not bad, not bad at all. Legs up to their . . .” Momentary
silence befell them, while Danny eyed the The Lollipops, the girls who were
gigging at the pub. “Should have come here before . . . Why haven’t we?”
“Dunno, but the
girls said to meet ’em here tonight,” replied Ginger, eyeing a new arrival
shimmying toward the bar. “Get a load of that.”
Danny swung round,
beer swilling from his glass. “Oh shit.”
Tom burst out
laughing. “Am I seeing things?”
“Like what,”
groaned Danny, a wet patch in his groin area. “Jeez, that’s all I need.”
Ginger glanced at
Danny’s predicament, and roared with laughter. ‘Classic, mate. A sure sign of
wet Lollipop dream. They’ll love you.”
“Hey guys,”
intoned Tom, eyes glued to the newcomer. “You sure you wanna hang out here?”
“Yeah, why?”
Ginger followed Tom’s line of vision. “Ah, see what you mean.”
Danny turned in
his seat, his foot catching that of a Lollipop girl: the trio making toward the
podium. “Sorry about that, didn’t . .
.”
Bright blues locked
onto his, and Danny sensed . . . No, felt the vibes going through his body.
Whoa, this couldn’t be happening.”
“Hey sugar,” said
blue-eyed Lollipop, deep rasping voice akin to that of an old movie star he’d
seen on TV and kind of sexy with it, “come and see me later, after the gig.”
Once again silence
befell them as the Lollipops strolled past on skyscraper heels.
“I’m out of here,”
said Ginger, getting to his feet.
“Too late,” said
Tom, “the girls just walked in.”
Danny glanced
toward the door, Jenny having spotted their table and waving as though not
having set eyes on him in weeks. Love’s young dream, and Jenny as remote from a
Lollipop girl as that of . . .Damn it, why had the girls selected this pub for
an anniversary do?
“Oooh, big boy,”
she said, slipping onto his knee, a kiss to lips as the Lollipops burst into
song. “Missed me?”
“Not yet, I’m still
trying on that score.”
She puckered her
nose. “Great here, in’t it?” she said, addressing her best mates, his best
mates girlfriends. “Different. Like kind of funnnnn different.”
Charlene, Ginger’s
girl said, “Yeah, and those Lollipops in’t half got some balls to stand up
their in them there skimpies.”
Sharon, Tom’s girl
burst into laughter, said, “Big girls, in’t they. Like tall, tall.”
Charlene started
giggling. “Oh Danny, if you could see your face.”
He laughed. “Come
here.” The kiss potent, driven by lust, edged with guilt. “I love you.”
“I know you do,”
said Jenny, semi-breathless, “but what brought that on?”
“Nothing, just saying.”
Ginger laughed.
“Happy Anniversary mate.” He raised his glass. “To all of us, one year down and
two days to go to your big day.”
“Thanks, Ging,”
said Jenny. “Stag and Hen do in one is more fun, don’t you think? And guess what
. . . Danny boy, you’re going to get to sing with the Lollipops.”
“No way,” said
Danny, hefting Jenny from his lap. “No bleeding way I am getting up there and
singing along with trannies.”
“Danny.
Wait.”
Ginger
laughed, got to his feet and raised his glass. “Bad move, Jenny, bad move.”
