Chapter 16Sunday morning and I remembered why I had sworn off Jack Daniel's the week before. I promised myself that I would do better at keeping my promises in future.

Mark came into the room after having a shower. I pulled myself upright and sat on the edge of the bed, lit a cigarette and held my pounding head between puffs.

He pulled a pair of long shorts over his swimming trunks. "Wanna go to the beach?" he asked.

"What I really want is to go to the funeral of Jack Daniel's. I wish somebody would kill that son-of-a-bitch. He's all nice and friendly when you first start partying with him, then he gets nasty."

"I'll take that as a no, then."

"No, I can handle it. Let me get a shower and I'll be with you." I grabbed my gear. "No Lori?"

"Naw, she and Debbie are going shopping."

After I showered and dressed, we took a bus down to Waikiki. We tried the water, but there was a lot of coral which didn't really make for pleasant swimming. That was cool with me as I was more interested in lying still and resting my head. We chose a spot on the beach to just chill. We spread out towels out and sat down. The sandy beach felt like a bean bag underneath the towel. The midday sun reflected off the water and a slight breeze kept the heat at a comfortable level.

Mark insisted we bring a twelve pack with us and I didn't argue. After a few cans of the hair of the dog, I felt better.

"Hey, did I tell you I’m studying Shakespeare?" I asked, and lit a cigarette.

"Nope," Mark replied. "Did I ever tell you I’m a part time brain surgeon? I just fix submarines when I don't have any tumors to remove."

"Ha ha, very funny. I'm serious, I gotta impress Holly's dad, and he's into all that 'to be' crap. I'm meeting some guy at the Pinnacle building at seven tonight to help me understand all that stuff."

"An office building? Sunday night? How does that work?"

I took a sip of beer. "Some homeless guy who got shot in the head in 'Nam is really into Shakespeare. He's going to give me lessons."

Mark smiled and kind of snorted. "Why did I know that your selection of a tutor would be on par with your choice in women? Well, good luck to both of you."

"I'm taking Holly a bit more serious now. She's really turning out to be a lot of fun, and she doesn't bug me as much anymore. I've gotten used to her ways."

"And Debbie?"

"Well, I don't have much choice, do I? I'm screwin' one chick 'cause I want to and another one because I have too."

"Lucky you." He took a big gulp of beer. "Let's suppose for a moment that Debbie does rat you out. You still think Holly would get you booted out?"

I took a drag. "My dad always said the most dangerous creature on the planet is a pissed off woman.
