Chapter Thirteen

Trixie had come by their table to ask them to dance a couple of times, but her ever-watchful guardian kept a close eye on what they were doing. Jack was a little scared of her friends, and was glad that there hadn’t been any room at the table for them. He was worried about Trixie, even if Nick wasn’t. During a slower dance, Jack whispered in her ear, “Are you okay, Trixie? Those guys aren’t trying to do anything bad are they?”

“You are such a sweet thing to worry about silly ol’ Trixie like that. I’m okay, honey, I promise. They just like to act like they’re big and important. They’re just like gorillas, theys beatin’ on their chests all the time.”

“I ain’t never seen a gorilla.”

“My Mama took me to the Bronx Zoo once when I was little. That was before Papa left, so we had money to do fun things once in a while. I saw ’em there. They were like giant beasts, but the man that took care of ’em said that they pound on their own chests to let everyone know that they’re the boss, and to stay away.”

“Maybe you should stay away from these guys.”

“Oh I can’t, honey, I ain’t got no choice.”

“Whaddya mean? Sure you do.”

Trixie looked over her shoulder, and Jack could feel how nervous she was all of a sudden.

She put on her bubbly Trixie smile, and tossed her head back to let out a tinkling laugh.

“Oh you are adorable! I am fine, honey, just fine. Look, I have to take off with my friends for a little while, so I probably won’t see you anymore tonight.”

Jack couldn’t help but look disappointed. He had hoped to spend all of their time with Trixie that night—he’d just been waiting for those other guys to let her go.

“I’m sorry, sweetie, but I tell you what. Meet me at the Silver Star tomorrow night at nine o’clock, and I’ll take you to an even better place than this one. We’ll have a real fine time. I promise.”

“Just the three of us?”

She got so close to him when she spoke, that her breath tickled his ear. Her voice was low and soothing.

“That sounds very nice.”

She kissed him on the cheek, then turned to wave giddily at Nick. He half-smiled and raised his hand in a polite acknowledgement. She blew some air-kisses in his direction, which seemed to throw him off. Jack had to smile. Nick was never comfortable with openly enthusiastic displays of affection. He gave another little wave, then busied himself taking a sip from his glass.

Their walk home was quiet. Jack was filled with curiosity about what Nick thought was going on with Trixie and her friends, but he didn’t want to prod Nick too much. He seemed the most relaxed he’d been all week. Even the odd way he’d acted after work seemed to have dissipated. But Jack did want to mention what Trixie had said about meeting the next day.
