We’ll gather our family and friends for a ride out to Hidden Creek. When we get back, we’ll have the ladies fix a big meal followed by a party and bonfire at the clubhouse. We’ll start the burial arrangements as soon I talk to his folks. For now, get some rest. We’ll head out from here at 4:00.”

    The music from Matt’s Pub was booming as the Friday night crowd flowed into the bar. Matt’s was an older bar that served great crawfish and steaks until 9:00. Then, either the band or DJ usually began playing the crowd favorites. It wasn’t really fancy, but it was comfortable and the people were very friendly. By the time Tessa and Courtney walked in, the DJ had already begun playing requests, and a few people were making their way to the small dance floor. They headed over to the bar to find a seat and order their drinks.
    “Girl, you are looking good tonight! I love your hair down like that, all wavy and sexy. And those jeans are doing all kinds of great things to your butt. The guys are going to be all over that tonight!” Courtney giggled to Tessa as she ordered a Long Island iced tea.
    “I had to do something to keep up with you,” Tessa laughed. “I decided my hair was my best option.”
    “You made the right decision. Now, get over here and grab a drink. I expect us to be on the dance floor in the next fifteen minutes. I’m going to go over and put in a couple of my favorite requests. One for Thrift Shop and the other for The Wobble , and I’m not going out there without you.”
    “Seriously? Do you know who you’re talking to? I don’t even know what those songs are! And don’t you start with that mess about ‘making it rain’ or shaking your butt all over me,” Tessa said laughing.
    “You know you like it when I shake my butt.  It’s totally a crowd pleaser,” Courtney said with a wink.
    “Grab that bartender. I’ll have one of those Long Island iced teas, too. I think I’m gonna need it.”
    They sat off by themselves and talked about school and the kids while they finished their first round of drinks. When the song Courtney was waiting for finally came on, they made their way onto the dance floor. The rhythm of the music flowed through Tessa’s body as she danced. In that moment, she didn’t worry about school or her kids. She even noticed a few men staring at her, but it didn’t faze her. She was too wrapped up in the music. Her smile grew wide as she watched her friend bounce around the dance floor without a worry in the world. Courtney was young and carefree, and it was fun to watch her cut loose. They danced for several songs before they left the dance floor and went back to their seats.
    “So, are you gonna tell me about Mr. Steamy Pants on the motorcycle or not? You know I’m not gonna let it go, so you might as well tell me all about it,” Courtney urged as she gestured over to the bartender.
    “There isn’t much to tell really. He had to meet with me at school when Myles got in that fight in my class last week.”
    “Yeah, you told me about the fight. What happened with his dad? What did he say?”
    “We came up with a deal for Myles to help with the fair, and that’s it. Now, I’ll have one more drink, but that’s it. I’ve gotta drive home tonight.”
    “There’s no way that’s it. There is so much more to it than that. I saw the way you looked at him. You got that dreamy look in your eyes when you saw him. I know you’ve got a thing for him, and you need to do something about it before your girlie parts dry all up and crumble away,” Courtney said emphatically.
    “Yeah, you’re right. I do think he’s good looking in that rough, don’t-bring-him-home-to-momma kind of way. What am I going to do with that? I have two kids to think about, Court.”
    “Well, damn. That’s no fun. Why don’t you just try and live a little? I’m not asking you to marry the dude. Just go have some naughty time with him so you can tell me all about it.
