Chapter One
"Hey, let's hit the Black Sheep," Jeff suggested when Sean took the exit. "Heard they have good wings and there's a classic rock band playing tonight."
"I don't know," Sean shrugged while turning onto Westminster, the narrow one-way street that led into the heart of downtown Providence.
"What's to know?" Jeff asked. "Food, music, girls, and lot of hot older women from the offices head down there after work." He made an awful attempt at a Tiger's growl. "Cougars on the prowl for some young studs!"
"Leaves you out," Sean grinned as he saw Jeff flip him off out of the corner of his eye. "You wouldn't know what to do with one."
"Like you would?" Jeff paused. "If you did, you'd be doing more than drooling over the only cougar you ever look at."
"She's not a cougar, she's a Milf," Sean corrected him. "Cougars are women who never had kids, Milf is a mother I'd..."
"Okay, porn boy, I know the difference," Jeff sighed. "Hey, Black Sheep is that way."
"I know," Sean took two sharp rights while thinking, 'Here it comes.'
"Come on man, really?" Jeff protested. "Finn's Pub? Again?"
"I like it there, and I'm driving," He glanced over at Jeff, a smirk on his face. "And paying."
"Yeah, you're right, beggars can't be choosers, but it's the only place you ever want to go."
"It's a cool place, they have drink specials, good food, music, and the crowds a little more laid back, not a lot of jack ass frat boy goons go there."
"Because not a lot of hot girls go there."
"It's a bar not a nightclub," Sean explained. "Besides, it's an Irish pub, I'm Irish and St Patrick's Day is tomorrow."
"Hmm, I think you left out the main reason we keep going." Jeff grinned.
"Whatever. You want to go somewhere else when you're buying, we will, but if it's my treat, it's my say. Cool with that, or should I drop you off on the corner?"
"No need to get hostile," Jeff put his hands up defensively. "All I'm saying is since we turned twenty-one and could hang out in bars, you only want to hang out in one bar."
Sean pulled into the parking lot behind Finn's Pub, and carefully backed his father's massive F350 into a spot, using the act as an excuse not to reply to his friend.
"Then you won't admit why it's the only bar you want to go to."
"I like it here," Sean threw the truck into park and shut off the engine. "Why try other places, when you find one you like?"
"Because it's just about the only place you've tried, so how do you know there's not better?" Jeff laughed while he opened the passenger door to get out. "Going by that I'd have only had sex with one girl, instead sampling a few."
"That's because you're a jack ass," Sean told him, hopping out and slamming the door shut. "There's something called loyalty, you know."
"Like Missy Teague was loyal to you?" Jeff met him at the back of the truck.
"Watch it with that," Sean glowered down at him from his impressive height of 6'4". "Just because that bitch cheated on me, doesn't mean I need to do it to someone else."
"Hey, just saying being dedicated to one thing isn't always the best way to do things, you end up getting hurt sometimes." Jeff told him. "What's Prof Williams always saying, 'Teachable moments?'
"I don't think a pub is going to betray me," Sean muttered.
"No, but the reason you keep coming is keeping you from getting back in the saddle and having some fun."
"You going to do this shit in there?" Sean asked as he brushed past him to walk towards the side of the building that led to the front entrance. "Sound like an old lady, and talk about my life?"
"Hey, if there was a chance, it would be cool, Sean. But you come here and just stare and get these crazy ideas that something's going to happen, and..."
"Jeff?" Sean's fixed him with a hard stare.
"Right, shut up." His friend nodded.
"Don't have to do that, just find something else to talk about."
"Okay, think they'll have those two dollar draft specials tonight?"
"They usually do." Sean shrugged.
