Chapter 6

“Come on Angel, it’s your turn!”

She sat back in her chair and vigorously shook her head no. “I think I’ve had too much to drink.”

“We all have, girlfriend! And that didn’t stop us.”

Angel raised her brow at her friend Ann, before looking at Jodie. The third grade teacher looked like she was about to fly off the mechanical bull she was riding. “Nope, no way. I’m not going to make a fool out of myself. Look at Jody.”

Ann laughed. “Did anyone take a picture of her?”

“I took a picture of all of us,” Marty, one of the office secretaries , spoke up. She finished what was in her glass and let out a hiccup. “Scuze me.”

Angel smiled at her, before turning her gaze back to Jody. Thank God the bull was winding down. For as many years as they’d been coming there for girl’s night out so far no one had been thrown, or seriously hurt. But sooner or later it was bound to happen.

“Are you going to be the only one of us not to ride Bully Boy?” Cora asked, waving their waitress over. Cora was a part-time volunteer for the school clinic and library.

“Come on, Angel,” a male voice coaxed from a nearby table. She spared him a smile. He and two of his friends had been watching them for an hour, jeering them on, buying them drinks. She’d seen them at Bronco Bill’s before and had dismissed them as harmless flirts.

Jody stumbled her way to their table, laughing. “Your turn, Angel, and then I’m calling it a night.”

“Oh, all right, but if I go flying someone better be there to catch me.” Angel got to her feet and made her way to Bully Boy. She was feeling a light buzz from the three glasses of wine she’d drank, and would need to wait before driving home. Which, thank goodness, was just down the street.

“I’ll catch you, Angel!”

She ignored the male shout-out and grabbed the well-worn leather strap on to the mechanical bull, pulling herself up onto his wide back. Bully Boy’s body looked just like a real bull, minus the legs. His enormous head was adorned with two massive horns. Just as she was digging in her front pocket for some change the guy, from the nearby table moved into her line of vision.

“I’ll get it, Angel.” He quickly slipped four quarters into the slot, and the bull took off before Angel was ready.

She let out a squeal and she said a prayer when the bull started out in slow speed. As quickly as she could she slipped her hand beneath the strap around its girth to hold onto.

“A baby could ride that bull as slow as you’re going!” Jody yelled out, laughing.

Before Angel could reach forward and change the speed someone else did it for her. Bully Boy rapidly switched to the buck-and-spin speed and she clamped her legs to him tightly and held on, throwing her other arm in the air. She let her body relax until she was flowing with the gyrations of the bull and not straining against them.
