The dive bar we enter couldn’t be more redneck. There are actual deer heads mounted on the walls, and not like one that could win some state prize. I’m talking a bunch of them. It’s freaking me out.

“I think those eyes are staring back at me.”

“Wink at them. They probably seldom have hot chicks checking them out.”

“Can you ever be serious?”

“What fun is that?” A female server in too short of shorts approaches us. They’re black, and her snug white baby tee says “Around the Bend.” She looks like she’s been around the bend quite a few times. Or bent over quite a few times I should say.

“What can I get you, handsome?”

“Uh, the lady and I here will each have a Coors Light.”

“Sure thing,” she says with a wink. The woman never even acknowledges my presence.

“I guess I’m invisible.”

“I wouldn’t go that far. Those men over there are sure checkin’ you out.” I look in the direction Wade’s nodding, and three old men sitting at a table are staring at me.

Two of the three men are in blue jean bib overalls, and the third is sporting an oversized cowboy hat.

“Wow, thank you for bringing that to my attention.”

“No problem. I thought you might want a dance partner later.”

Country music is playing over the sound system, and a few middle-aged ladies are line dancing on the dance floor.

They’re an addition to the amusing entertainment already being provided in this fine establishment.

Our server returns and still makes no eye contact with me. I see her eyeing Wade’s hand for a ring.

“So, where are you from? I haven’t seen you in here before?”

I must admit she’s mildly attractive, but her hair has been colored blond a few too many times, so it’s a tinge yellow and could sure use a trim. She appears about college age.

“South Carolina.”

“That’s pretty far from here. Where are ya headed?”

“Malibu, California.”

“Well, you wave at me when you’re ready for another beer.”

“Sure thing, sweetheart. Hey, could we get some peanuts.”

“Comin’ right up,” she says, placing a hand on his shoulder.

I roll my eyes. It’s becoming a habit. Wade stares at me while he takes a drink.

“What?” he asks.

“She might as well shove me out of my chair and take my seat.”

“Jealous are we?”

“No.”

“She’s hot in her own southern, trashy way.”

I smile at him. I don’t know why, but it pleases me that he sees her the same way I do. Maybe I am a tad jealous, too.

“She’s the kind of girl you have to wrap it up twice for.”

“What do you mean?” I ask.

“Once for the sperm and once for the germ.”

I’m cackling from this comment and only wish I was in a booth seat that I could fall over onto.

“You crack me up.” The server returns with peanuts, and I have to battle the urge not to laugh out loud at her.

Wade immediately picks up a nut and pops it into his mouth. “Open,” he says as he grabs another. He’s holding his hand up as if he wants to toss one into my mouth.
