SO FAR SO GOOD
Lynie's has left for Hawaii so it looks like we'll have Brenda to party with for the rest of the weekend. After dinner, Rich, his cousin Jason and I all head to the Aloha Bar again. It's a little more crowded tonight, but the vibe is good. Of course, we immediately start drinking. What else can you do in this town but drink? The Strip is full of shows, but they're too expensive and it's too crowded.
Brenda is down to drink after work. She says she's clubbed-out and I feel her. I like clubs, but when you've been to the same club numerous times, it tends to get old and boring. It's the same old shit just a different day.
I don't have anymore cash so I start a tab. What the hell, it's Friday so it's time to let loose. Brenda arrives looking as pretty as ever. She's a mutt. As she says, she's mostly Irish and Chinese but she also has American Indian, English, Russian, Greek and a few other ethnicities in her. Ultimately, however, she's Hawaiian. In Hawaii, people would say she's happa haole, or half-white loosely translated. She's a rice eater and for some reason, I am crazy about that. Brunette, white with Asian features and a rice eater?! Forget about it! It's over. That's an instant crush for me.
As we drink, Lynie comes up in our conversation. Rich mentions that Lynie has a man she's very fond of. Geez Rich, why didn't you tell me this before? "Oh, I was really drunk and totally forgot that she told me." Well, that changes the picture for me a little, I think. Now I don't have any attachments to Lynie. If she likes someone else, then isn't it okay for me to go after her friend?
After all these drinks, I can't restrain myself anymore. I whisper into Brenda's ear, "can you keep a secret? I have a crush on you." I'm a sucker for brunettes and I think she's gorgeous. Everyone has their own idiosyncracies and I think this is one that is built deep into my genes. The Spanish colonized the Philippines for 300 years and there was nothing that dark, native Filipino wanted more than the light-skinned Spaniard.
Brenda has a problem though. She likes Lynie - a lot. She wants to be friends with her and "Lynie told me you made out with her." Sheeeeyiiiiit. How do I get past this? I tell Brenda, "Yeah, but Lynie likes someone else and besides, I've liked you way before Lynie and I made out." It sounds ridiculous but I had to try something. At least it's the truth and maybe the truth will get me somewhere.
Brenda shakes her head and says, "you made out with her." I can't escape that fact. "Yeah, I made out with her, but so what? I don't feel the same way about her that I do about you," I tell her. I don't think it's working. Oh well, I guess I screwed that one up. I guess there's really nothing else to do but continue drinking and having fun. But perhaps I have planted a little seed and perhaps it will grow slowly.
We order more drinks, more snackies and sing some karaoke tunes. The bar is closing. Where to now? Brenda suggests we go across the street to another bar. We're already trashed but what the hell. Rich and Jason are getting hungry and they want to go eat Oxtail at the California. I ask Brenda what she wants to do. She'd rather have more drinks. I tell them we'll meet them at the Cal after a few more drinks.
Brenda knows the bartender and he gives us some Red Headed Sluts. The drinks go down easy but now I'm pretty fucked-up. I got a really good buzz going so it's time to take it easy. Brenda looks really tired and I ask her if she wants to go to the Cal or if she's ready to go home. Home she says.
She gives me her keys and off we go to her apartment. Aww yeah. This is going better than I expected. We get to her place and the first thing I see is her fat cat. "Oh my god, that is one fat cat," I tell her. "She's not fat! She's beautiful," Brenda replies. Yeah, she's beautiful but she's fat. We sit on the couch. It's already light outside. I look into her eyes and she looks at mine. They don't look that drunk so I move slowly in for the kiss . . .
Rich calls.
"Where you at?"
"You gotta pick me up at Brenda's place."
"What?! You fuckin' asshole!"
When Rich arrives, Brenda and I see him from her balcony. I tell her I'll call her later and like a little boy, prance with light steps to Richie's car.
