GI Blues Song Chapter 7

Posted on | September 8, 2005 |

Jason picks Daylene up early in the morning for their trip to New Orleans. Instead of taking the highway, he knows all the backroads. He travels them slow so they could enjoy the gulf coast.

“It is really beautiful here, Jason. I have never been this way before,” she says.

“I like going through the country side better. It drives my mom crazy because when I moved to Biloxi, it took us twice as long becasue I had to go on all state routes.”

“Where are you from?”

“West Virginia. I came to Mississppi because I always loved it there. So I got a job and joined the reserves and moved. best thing I ever did.”

“I’m glad you did, Jase.” She says.

After a couple of hours they arrive at their hotel in the French Quarter. They check and go up their room. He booked the suite which a had a small balcony leading out to Bourbon Street.

“Ever been here Day?”

“A few times me and my band sang down here. At this little club. You wanna go later? Maybe Jezz is there. She is an amazing singer. I haven’t seen in her a couple of years.”

“Sure we can.”

They take in the New Orleans sites hand in hand. People that see them walk together can tell that they are in love. Jason and Daylene dress up for dinner. He takes her to a swanky little French restuarant. He pours wine for her while gazing at her eyes through the candlelight. After dessert they head off the club. It is starting to get busy but they find a little table up front.

The music starts and he asks her to dance. He holds her close and they barley move through the dance floor. Just holding each other.

“Quite different from singing,” he says.

“I like listening to.”

Then a woman comes up behind Daylene, ” Holy Hell, look what the cat dragged in.”

“Jezz, I was hoping you’d be here.” They hug. “Jezz, this is Jason, my man. Jason this my good friend Jezz.”

“Hello ma’am.”

“No need to call me ma’am. Come on Day sing a song with me. Just like old times.”

“Do you mind, Jason?”

“You know I love hearing you sing.”

The two women get on stage and sing BB King song. The club erupts in applause after the two women are through. Jezz gives Daylene another hug, “I think he is waiting for you. Dont be a stranger.”

“I won’t. Thanks for the song. Come to Biloxi some time.”

She reunites with Jason, “Are you ready to go?”

“Only if you are.”

They come back to the hotel. Outside some people are playing instruments. Jason picks her up and lays her on the bed, gently kissing her. Slowly he undresses her. Daylene has been waiting for this moment since they met. Her body enlivens. Then suddenly she is lost in his passion.
