GI Blues Song Chapter 4

Posted on | August 17, 2005 |

Daylene walks into the house to find her adopted sister chasing around her 2 young children. Devon, the little boy is running around naked and the baby Shondra is crying. Chantel looks up, ” Where the hell were you? You knew I had to be at work early. Now I am gonna be late.”

” I am sorry Chantel, I met someone. I forgot about watching the kids,”Daylene says.

” Yeah whatever, well I gotta go. You knew I am already on the shit list with my boss. I hope I don’t get fired. Not everyone can have such a hoity-toity life like you.” and Chantel is out the door trying to catch the bus.

Daylene calms the kids and sits with a cup of a coffee thinking about Jason. She is so nervous about tonight. ” Is he going to be there? What shoudl I wear?” She says out loud to herself. her biggest fear is that he wont show tonight or any night. The rest of the day is a blur. She takes a nap about 3 and wakes up at 7:00 and drives over to the club.

She spies Felix heading towards the stage. “Hey Felix, do you know if he is out there?”

“No I don’t know, Sugar.”

“Thanks,” she says trying to keep her hopes up. She walks into her dressing room and looks at her wardrobe. Selecting a slinky, shimmery black dress with slits two slits that run up both her thighs. She fixes her hair up and applies sparkling make-up. Daylene hears her cue and goes to stage.

She starts her frantically searching for Jason. Finally, there he is in the back sitting alone. He smile sat her and her heart leaps out of her chest. After a few rocking blues songs, Daylene changes the pace and tells the band she wnats to sing ‘At Last’. She sees him smiling at her. Hearing herself sing, she is drawn into a fantasy of last night, kissing me hard, feeling that rush of passion, being embraced by his strong arms.

She finishes the song and rushes off stage and they embrace again.

“For some reason I could not stop thinking about you today,” Jason says.

” I couldn’t either.”

Jason gives her a rose. ” I see this girl was seeling these. I knew you had to have one.”

“Thanks.” He takes her hand and leads her to the dance floor and holds her close and the two sway in perfect harmony. It is time for her to sing again he kisses her gently on the lips.
