The wars had damaged and destroyed much.. but Vegas seemed somehow 'stand' through it, it wasn't quite the same as it had been in it's prime.. but it was one of the surviving cities. There were still free drinks and coins spilling out all over... a place where freaks may or may not be noticed. Speaking of freaks, Tyler was discussing going out for the weekend, just to get away from everything.
Drake started giving him 'crap' and teasing him about the five showgirls he already had waiting for him, insisting that Ty needed some fun. This was partly his brother's idea of a gift for valentine's. "..just for the weekend, man... think you can handle it?"
"You couldn't decide or what? had to get five?"
"two hands to keep busy... two feet to dance with... what you do with the rest of what you got is what you get to decide and with which one... I ordered a bushel of grapes, too... did I mention they're sisters? alphabetize them... put them in age order... two are twins.. all of them legal and don't give me that look... have fun, would ya? oh.. and forgot to mention... you got ... lesseee....one with compassion... always nice... empathy.. tricky, but fun... one with induce.. hmm?... one does this bendy-stretchy-elastic thing where she can um.... yeah... she can do that... and then some... and then there's Holly."
"Yeah that's nice.. why don't you take them home for the weekend?"
"Cuz I'm married and you haven't had a date in ten years."
Gives him -that look- "Don't mean I need five at once.. and it hasn't been ten years."
"Which is why I'm pulling your leg and I'd like to introduce you to the one and only... just Holly. Nice girl... plain and simple... she serves drinks down at the Bull n Briar."
"You didn't hire her or nuthin, did you?"
"No, she's one of Badger's contacts. Guess her dad owns some kind of parts business or something. She's cute. For a brunette."
"Nothing wrong with brunettes." Tyler shrugged, relaxing only slightly from the panic, the suggestion that his brother had bought five girls for him, had sent him into.
"Holly... er... something-sley.. I think... I dunno, but you're supposed to have dinner tomorrow night. The rest is up to you. And don't worry... Mari and I will be discrete yelp away if you need bailin'."
"What? You don't even know this girl?? You set me up on a date? I thought you said you wanted to introduce me.."
"I didn't get that super detailed and I suck at names, a'ight? S'why I'm on recog. I leave that name crap to you and Blank... I do great with plots and maps and shet... and like I care... brunette... hello? Sorry... anyway, it's Holly, that I'm sure of and of where she works and how nice she is."
"That's great.. you son of.. if she wasn't my mother too. I can't believe you tried to set me up like this.. first tell me you hired five chicks.. then it changes to I want to introduce you to this nice girl. Now you're telling me I'm supposed to meet some girl, without you you, who's name you can't even remember for a dinner that you set up.. without me even knowing.. are you trying to kill me?"
"So... what's the problem... exactly? Like you were doing anything for Valentine's day, right? Tell me you had plans... real plans, huh? And it's not like I won't be there. I just don't want to screw it up for you bro. I mean it... she's ...n...i...c...e.... okay? Tell you what... picture with me... here we go... five-seven... five-nine with heels that she's wearing at work, okay? Brunette... we know this. Shoulder length, a little wavy, light and lofty, you get the idea. Eyes... dark... misty, the watch-you-and-give-you-chills kind...not eerie chills.. the good ones... she's not anorexic...she's a normal girl. Well, mostly normal. She's one of us."
"What's the problem?? The problem is you set me up on a date with a girl I don't know on the most romantic day of the year.. the whole day is about love and romance and couples lalala.. oh hey no pressure there, right? Not like everything is built up and she'll expect me to be charming or at least speak in complete sentences." He sighed rubbing his hand over his face and signaling for another round of drinks. "You know how badly my last relationship ended.. I haven't had a date in.. who knows how long.. Bro I know I set you up with Mari and all.. and you two are all happy.. and I'm happy for you.. but if I'm bugging you guys too much by hanging out so often, just say so.."
