Spending most nights at the pool hall was the norm for me and my pals. Shooting stick and gambling was our way of life. Some would call us bums, but we preferred being called the Fourth Avenue Gang.
The gang consisted of Eddie, Dick, Bill and me Tommy.
We grew up in a tenement building on Fourth Avenue, thus the Fourth Avenue Gang. We did everything together including chasing pussy.
Many girls were attracted to us so called bad boys. And the gang had a policy of sharing. If one scored a pussy, it was expected he would share that pussy with the rest of the gang.
Employment was something we tried hard to avoid. We made money by hustling suckers at the pool hall. And we shared the proceeds.
One hot muggy night a slick looking dude and his sexy lady came into the pool hall. He announced he was looking for some action. Eddie stepped up to accept his challenge.
The dude said, "How about a game of straight pool to 150 points for $100. Eddie jumped at the chance, as straight pool was his game of choice.
"My lady will rack the balls," the dude said.
The dude and Eddie lagged for break with the dude winning.
The dude made a safe break leaving Eddie no shot forcing him to play a safety. Eddie realized this guy was a player and not someone that could not be easily hustled.
After several safeties by each player, the dude made a terrific shot starting a run of 7 balls. Dick and Bill were sizing up the dude while I was checking out his lady.
Normally my mind would be on the game, but this hottie had my cock hard as a rock. I asked her, "Would you would like a drink?" She responded, "That would be nice. I will take a scotch on the rocks."
I had figured out the lady was meant to be a distraction for the dude's opponents. A neat hustler's trick, but I was on it, and decided to remove the distraction from Eddie. I was going to keep her occupied. I invited her to join me in a booth. I was surprised when she agreed.
I could see the dude's look of disdain when we disappeared in the booth. Now he was distracted, and the game took a change. Eddie had taken over the lead and went on to win the game. The dude immediately challenged Eddie to another game.
