The Last JoyRide Part 16
from Nick Adams Reads! Hosted by Nick Adams
Wednesday 8:13PM Joy ordered Asian pear sangrias for the both of us. In fact she ordered our food, appetizers and everything. I don't know why I was surprised. I say that because I didn't know her that well. She sure as hell could take initiative though. The way she handled that Hollywood wanker was artful and I was still impressed. "I freakin' love this place Joy. Whatever this is, this Asian Mexican fusion, whatever the hell they call it. I'm hooked. You ever eaten at Chico Chan's?" "No, I don't think I've ever heard of it." "Same stuff, only they started it a few years ago. You can order Ala carte, you know chicken lo mein with a side of rice and beans if you want. Freakin' awesome. A friend took me." I paused in thought but it fled quickly out of my mind. "Anyway, I was hooked then, still hooked now. I'm going to put a dent in your quarter mil starting right now." "When did you decide you were going to leave town?" She asked pensively. Joy had that far off stare planted on me. Like someone before her, at times she was just too pretty to look at for long. That was one of those times. "A while back, months." "Before or after you saw me?" "Funny you ask that. I'm not sure why it would matter but in many ways because I saw you."
