Sunny stood behind the deserted bar leafing through a muscle car magazine. She looked up when Judson approached the counter.

His fedora matched his blue and gray pinstriped suit, and it brought out the color of his eyes. Every part of her body pulsated as he neared.

“Your mustache is coming in nicely.”

He chuckled. “I’m working on it. You can’t expect a full lip of hair in one day.”

“The one you’re wearing looks plenty real to me,” she whispered.

Kelly walked over waving a dollar bill in her hand. “Hey, can you give me change for the jukebox? It’s so quiet in here tonight the girls and I are going to listen to music and share beauty tips.” She pursed her overdone pink lips which matched her fringed dress.

After Sunny made change, Kelly teetered over to the machine on six inch platforms to select some music. A heart tugging love ballad blared through the speakers. Sunny’s eyes widened at her choice, this was the last type of music the girls usually picked.

Kelly rested her hand on the jukebox and looked in Sunny and Judson’s direction. “Why don’t you two lovebirds take a break from boredom and share a dance?”

“Good idea.” Judson took off his suit jacket to toss it over the back of a nearby chair. His light gray dress shirt matched the pin stripes on his suit. When he held out his hand her breath caught in her throat and she backed away.

“No, I’m good,” she said.

“Come on, Sunny. Live a little.” One of the dancers shouted.

“Woohoo!” yelled Kelly. “Show us your moves girl.” Her hips gyrated in time to the music and the other dancers clapped and yelled. A couple of them joined in and shook their rears to the seductive tempo of the music and spun in a slow circle.

Heat rose up Sunny’s body and she pressed her hand to her neck touching the pendant at her throat.

“Maybe Judson will dance with you,” she threw back.

“Nope, I told you, we’re busy discussing girl things.” Kelly’s eyes shined brighter than her lips.

All the dancers started cheering, urging the couple to move to the stage. Judson leaned against the bar and winked. From the corner of her eye, she noticed Benny and Tasha walk through the swinging doors to join the fun. He clapped his hands together then whistled. Everyone joined in, and Kelly pumped her fist in the air yelling, “Go, go, go.”

Sunny rolled her eyes, shook her head, and placed her hand into Judson’s.

“I’m warning you, I can’t dance.” She giggled. With her free hand she slid the heart pendant on her necklace back and forth as she rounded the bar.

They walked to the stage hand in hand. The lights dimmed and a spotlight followed their movements. She looked toward the control booth and recognized Benny’s tall, thin form behind the glass panel.

She scowled. “Geesh, they don’t need to make a huge production of this.”

Judson’s eyes sparkled in the light. “Let ’em have some fun.”

With a playful jerk, he pulled her into his arms.
