Georgia
I woke up when I heard the knocking on the door, and I hoped it wasnât Jax again. I liked him a lot, but I had to get ready for work and there was a part of the song I was working on that I wanted to fiddle with a little more. Hard to do your best work when somebody is staring at you.
I ran to the door and opened it a bit roughly because I wasnât in the mood for company. Jax had already used up too much of my practice time.
âHowie. Didnât expect to see you standing there. What do you want?â
âNothing, Georgia. I donât want anything. Just came to apologize for the way Iâve been acting. Been a little out of my head since I first saw you, and I acted like an asshole⦠and Iâm sorry.â
âIâm also sorry about the way I reacted when you hurt Jaxon. I hardly know him, but it just caught me the wrong way and made me so mad that you would hurt another person on purpose. Moresoâa guy on your own team. I think thatâs what put me over the edge.â
Howieâs hand went to his face, and he winced. âIâm on a two-game suspension so I canât play tonight even though I want to.â
âJax mentioned it.â
âWould you be okay with it if I came to Jerseys and just sat there? Promise Iâll be on my best behavior.â
I laughed. âPublic bar. Anybody can come in for a beer as long as they donât disturb the peace.â
âI wonât.â
He glanced past me and saw my guitar and banjo both on their stands. âYou play both of those?â
âYeah, and a little piano, but itâs at home in Ohio at my parentsâ house and was too big to bring in my Honda.â
He smiled and I had forgotten how cute he was. âI play bass guitar and sing a bit. Music is my first love, but I got into university on a hockey scholarship, so I have to try to balance it out.â
âNo kidding? Youâre a musician? I never wouldâve guessed that.â I donât know why I did it, but I opened the door a little wider and let Howie Lintz into my apartmentâ¦voluntarily.
On my guard, in case he tried to touch me or make any other stupid moves, but he didnât. He sat down and asked me all kinds of questions about my music and the songs I wrote, and how long Iâd been trying to get a start in the music business. We talked and talked, like real people, and time just flew.
âIâd love to play one of your songs with you, Georgia. Sometime you have a couple of hours when we could get together.â
âThat might be fun. I donât know any other musicians here in Austin and I donât have anybody to practice with. Iâm practicing hard alone right now because I talked to Dooley OâRourke at Jerseys, and he said heâd try to free up a couple of hours for me this week.
