The night after that first porch hangout encounter, I was just leaving a bar and heading out to go do some work at school when Benny shows up. I had had a couple of drinks so I was feeling a bit iffy.
Me: Oh hey, what are you doing here?
Benny: Well, I was just walkin' by and well I seen that you were in here.
Me: Really? Well I'm on my way to school to work on some stuff.
Benny: Ohhh that's fine. I'll walk you there.
Me: Oh that's okay. I'm fine. Really.
Benny: I'm walking that way anyway and I wanna ask you something.
Wanna go out on a date? Which way do you sleep at night? How would you like me to chop your body up before I eat it? With my nail clippers? Plastic knife from Wendy's? Do you ever stare at the sky and wonder why??
Benny: You wanna buy some food stamps?
Me: Um, no thanks. I appreciate the offer though.
Benny: Sure? I got a bunch. Can I borrow ten dollars?
Me: Yeah, I only have a buck. I'm sorry.
Benny: Oh, well, it's okay. I got some money coming in tomorrow anyway. You know. Well wanna go to Hunnie's [local strip joint]?
Me: Yeah, sorry, no. I gotta do some work at school. Sorry.
