I might not have the clothes for Lisa's parties but I had everything I needed to go to a honky-tonk. It had been awhile since I'd worn my blue jean skirt. It was shorter than I remembered but it worked. Especially with my boots.
Lisa had left this morning while I was taking my bath and he hadn't been back since. I wondered if my room was off limits to his friends if he had a party here. I didn't like the idea of strangers having sex on my bed. I didn't really like the idea of anyone but me having sex on the bed I was supposed to sleep in. I wanted to ask but I wasn't sure how to go about asking something like that.
Leaving before Lisa got back meant I wouldn't know what to expect. Should I plan to wash my bedding when I got home? The idea made me cringe. When my foot hit the bottom step the front door swung open and Lisa walked inside. When his eyes found me he froze and slowly took in my appearance. I wasn't dressed to impress his crowd but there was a crowd out there that I might get some attention from.
"Day-um," he muttered and closed the door behind him.
I didn't move. I was trying to figure out how to approach the strangers having sex on my bed thing.
"You, uh, wearing that out to go clubbing?" he asked.
"It's called honky-tonking. I'm pretty sure it's a completely different thing," I corrected him
Lisa ran his hand over his short hair and let out a sigh that sounded somewhat frustrated and somewhat amused. If he was about to start making cracks about my clothing I might throw my boot at him.
"Can I come with y'all tonight? I've never been honky-tonking."
What? Did I just hear him correctly?
"You want to go with us?" I asked in confusion.
Lisa nodded and his eyes trailed down my body once again. "Yeah, I do."
I guess he could go too. If we were friends then we should be able to hang out together.
"Okay. If you really want to. We need to leave in ten minutes though. Jisoo is expecting me to pick her up."
"I can be ready in five," he said and took the stairs two at a time as he ran up them.
That was completely not what I had expected. Strange turn of events.
Seven minutes later, Lisa was back down the stairs and dressed in a pair of snug jeans and a tight black tee shirt that had Slacker Demon written on the front in a white gothic print. The emblem that was on his shoulder also graced the tee shirt. The silver thumb ring was once again on his hand and for the first time since I'd met him he had a couple of small hoop earrings in his ear. He looked more like the son of a world famous rock star than he ever had. His black lashes made it permanently appear as if he were wearing eyeliner and that only added to the effect.
When my eyes made their way back up to his face he stuck out his tongue to flash his silver barbell at me and then winked. "I figure if I'm going to a honky-tonk with guys in boots and cowboy hats I needed to stay true to my roots. Rock and Roll is in my blood. I can't pretend to fit in anywhere else."
I laughed as he smirked at me. "You're going to look as out of place tonight as I do at your parties. This should be fun. Come on, rock star spawn," I teased and headed for the door.
Lisa opened the door and stood back so I could walk outside. The guy could be so strange when he wanted to. "Since your friend is riding with us, why don't we take one of my cars instead? We'd all be more comfortable than in your truck."
I stopped and glanced back at him. "But we'd fit in better if we took my truck."
Lisa pulled out a small remote and one of the doors on his four car garage opened up. A black Range Rover with metallic rims and a perfectly shiny paint job sat in the spotlight. I couldn't disagree with him. We'd be much more comfortable in that vehicle.
