Jake (Part Three)

Jake stopped talking crap with the girl. I mean what kind of line is "It's a celebration of life"?

Talk about small talk.

His forehead was sweating, but Jake didn't realise it. He stared at her body, she was taking her blue dress off revealing her black lacey lingerie. It must have been Victoria Secret or some shit, cause it looked damn pricey. Not the type that all those Baton Rouge girls wear all beige-coloured with hole in 'em.

"Wait just a sec," Jake said. He opened the door and got headed for the elevator.
Before he knew it he was facing the girl anymore and walking out on hallway

Damn cravings. He got on the elevator and pushed the button. As he got out to the lobby, he made eye-contact with receptionist.

"Hey is there a vending machine here? Selling snacks?" he asked the guy behind the counter. Jake knew something like this was going to happen. The last time he had sex he had bought some M&Ms beforehand. The combination of chocolate and sex was too irresistible for him. One time he made a girl wait a half an hour so that he could drive up to the nearest 7 eleven to buy a snickers bar. God! He just needed it now. He knew he had forgotten something.

"I should have stopped at that convenience store down the road," he thought.

"Late night cravings, huh?" asked the receptionist guy.
"Yeah. Major cravings, man." Jake said it with a giggle. He started laughing at the thought "Major fucking cravings, dude!" he was laughing at the top of his voice, like a relief. He hadn't laughed this much since he watched an episode of Growing Pains long time ago- he loved all the 80s sitcoms.

"I left my fucking date upstairs just so that I could get a bar of chocolate!" Jake was hysterical, but he felt relieved. At that moment Jake looked over at the guy at the counter- he was flashing his pearly whites. "That's fucking pathetic, man." He was laughing about it too. The guty wore one of those midwestern cowboy shirts, the ones with the horseshoe pattern across the chest. the shirt was light blue and he was wearing one of those fancy skullcaps, the kind that all those young assholes like Justin Timberlake or Collin Farrell wear.

"I don't wanna be anyone other than..." the guy said.

"Got I don't know why but all of a sudden I just felt like boltin' outta there, y'know?" Jake said while wipping the sweat from his forehead. The last time he had sweaty forehead was when he lost his virginity in high school.

"Hey, man. It happens." the guy smiled.
" Just don't let it happen too often now. we got our reputations as stake here," he was speaking in a Lousiana drawl that seemed so comforting and familiar to Jake. He hadn't spoken to anyone from home for a long time and he had lost touch with most of his Baton Rouge friends.


Jake hardly spoke the with the southeren drawl anymore- it's what you get when you travel so much for almost a decade.

"I gotta say, getting outta there was the most sane thing I've done all night," Jake started. "I mean before it was fine, I'll be like wam bam thank you , ma'am"
