Ashtrays and shot glasses
Ashtrays and Shot glasses is an idea for a book of short stories. Most of the people in the book will do one or both drink and smoke. It's more of away to set a mood . But this idea came to me one night. I was sitting at James' house when it came to me. How alot of important things in our life happen while we are doing things. Things that we do at parties, or coming home and relaxing from a long day of work.
The Outing:
Bamm. Was the sound of the glasses hitting the wooden table. The sounds of the bar seem to fill my ears again as my dad light his third cigarette. "As I was saying son, your mother and I are bit worried about you." I really did not hear him. I was a bit off about being here. Dad had always came to Merlotte's by himself. I once made a joke about him buying True blood but he did not get it. " Hey are you listing to me son?" he asked. " Yeah dad, I'm listing. Just what do you want to talk to me about? Is this about car?"
" No Jason this is not about the car" as he blew out smoke from his mouth. " Son, I know it's been a while since me and you..."
" You and I dad, It's you and i" i jumped in to say.
" Right smart ass. You and I had a good heart to heart. Well any way your mother had told me a few things about you. And I did not want to rush to any thing. And I wanted to let you know that you could tell me any thing." I looked at him as the waitress came with more beers and a few more shots. I down the beers and took another shot. I knew where this was going. I really did not want it to head that way. "Son is there any thing you would like to say to me? He gave that look that a dad gives a son when he is truly worried. It seemed a big creepy cause of the light from the huge tv that was behind us. Or it could have been the shots of rum. I'm really not sure. But I knew the next words out of his mouth. " Let me stop you right now dad." I just could do this right now and nor could I do it here. " Jason, if you are gay...I'm cool with it."
" Times have change and all. And you have to be your own person. And I hope you meet some nice guy that will treat you right and all that stuff. I just want you to be happy that is all."
I tried so hard not to laugh. But it was to funny. " Dad" I took another shot " I'm not gay." " But Ashley is. I have not had a girl since I have been back from London cause I left my heart there. It was broken by a girl that I do not think I will forget." He looked at me. "Wait, Your sister is gay?"
"Yes she is dad." With a smile on my face. " Now are you going to pass one of those death-sticks or not?"
as you can see it is a bit rough. but it will be a book filled with different stories.
