I do spot
Sam and Shelley out on the dance floor, grinding in the crowd, and there’s a strobe light flashing over the dance floor and then it stops and it’s a slower song now, a nasty song, “Freek-A-Leek,” the place now submerged in blacklight, Maria’s fingers on my belt, pulling me close, Maria saying something about dancing.

Dancing. Fuck. I’m an embarrassment. A white-boy embarrassment.

I say, “Let’s get some tequila first, right?”

“If you insist,” she says.

Philadelphia to Illinois.

Illinois to Philadelphia. To New Mexico State. To El Sombrero. To Green Chile. To Juarez. To Dios Mia. To Corona. To Jose Cuervo. To Jose Cuervo. To Corona. To the dance floor, where Maria bend
s over in front of me, quickly, ass against my crotch, and then she stands and we’re front to front and her face is in my face and then she moves like Shakira, all hip shaking like she-wolves and hot sex, and then her face in my face, lips on my lips, tongue in my mouth and she bites my lower lip.

To the bar. To Corona.

To the dark corner of the bar, where we kiss more and my hands are at the small of her back, at the bare skin below the lowest length of her shirt and above the highest length of her tight black pants, and her hands on my traps and boom boom boom, this is it, right here, and she bites my lip again, tongue, skin, and this is it.

New Mexico State to Texas Tech. To…fuck it, wherever.
