There was a moment of silence.
I looked at my watch and being sarcastic, I told him I had a home to go to, and a
family.
As I got up, he did too.
I paid for his free beers, and said goodnight.
He said, Mister, I would like to show you my home.
It’s only a few blocks away”.
I thought for a moment and said ok, feeling sorry for the guy.
As we got outside, I asked which way, and he pointed in the direction that I had
to go.
We walked a few blocks and turned another direction.
Funny, the same way for me.
We walked another couple of blocks and he started slowing down.
I asked him what was wrong.
He said we were getting close to the house, and he did not want her to see him as she
would call the police.
I was telling myself that this was just a coincidence that we lived on the same street.
I asked him where he had lived, and he pointed and said over there. |
