Without A Bass Player, chapter 5
Mike went upstairs and changed out of his ripped up jeans and into a new pair he bought the day before, and an old Clash concert t-shirt. He combed his hair, brushed his teeth, and shaved, he wanted to look his best. This wasn't school he was seeing Ginger at, it was the real world. He ran back downstairs, and just as his foot hit the bottom step, there was a knock at the door. Mike looked over at himself in the mirror hanging by the door, and then reached for the door knob, but he was too late, Billie had reached it before him.
"Hello, Ginger." Billie said sweetly
"Umm hello Billie Joe, is Mike around?" Ginger asked a little surprised.
"Yeah he's here, but he's too busy jacking off in the bathroom to see you!" Billie said, then started laughing hysterically.
"Billie move out of the fucking way! And shut the fuck up!" Mike yelled, as he shoved Billie out of the way of the door. "Sorry about him, he's such a dick sometimes," Mike apologized, embarrassed. He looked straight into her emerald eyes that took such a grip on him that he couldn't break.
"Its okay Mike, I know he was joking," Ginger replied while laughing. Mike moved his glance from her eyes to her heart-shape lips. How badly he wanted to kiss them. "So, where are you going to take me?" she asked as she grabbed his arm and started walking to her red convertible.
"Um just around town, to show you all the cool hangouts," Mike said dreamily.
"Okay, do you want to drive?" she asked with a sparkle in her eye.
"Are you serious? You drive THAT?" Mike asked stunned.
"Yeah, got it as a sweet sixteen gift from my grandparents, bitchin' huh?" Ginger asked while smiling.
"Hell yeah!"
"So do you want to drive?"
"Hell yeah!" Mike replied, "I promise I wont wreck it!" he joked. As he climbed into the driver's seat, he remembered something, "Oh, hold on one sec, okay? I have to tell Billie something."
"Okay, but hurry up! I want to explore town!" Ginger said.
"I will," Mike replied as he jumped out of the car and raced up the porch step. "Shit! How could I forget about this?" he scolded to himself.
"Hello, Ginger." Billie said sweetly
"Umm hello Billie Joe, is Mike around?" Ginger asked a little surprised.
