Howell: Oh I'm sure I'll be fine, but the problem is if Jaime's new "monster" gets involved...basically a 4 on 1, but whatever. I'm not worried.
I'd say to bet the house, but the last time I said that everyone would have lost their house. I forgot that people sometimes take everything I say so literally.
Howell: The Halloween stuff? Naughty nurse isn't a bad idea...but you can't go wrong with any of those. I defer to you on that, I know next to nothing about costumes and such...
And that's when we arrive. The two of us leave the car and walk into the bar...total fucking dive, just the way I like it. Both of us take a seat and call the bartender over.
Howell: Jack Daniels on the rocks...
I look over to Amy for her to order and intimate that I'll pay...the shit I do sometimes, I'm like a patron fucking saint.

βββAmyβββ Same.
As the bartender walks away Amy looks around.
βββAmyβββ I'm curious how you found out about this place. I like it. Not worth making a random trip back for but it'll suffice while I'm here.
The bartender returns with their drinks and Amy begins to fool with the glass instead of drinking it.
βββAmyβββ I will be at Riot every week to help Kerri so we should do this more often. The only thing that worries me is how people around here start rumors cause it's a big sin for a man and a woman to be friends. It wouldn't take long till I probably heard that I'm fucking you... not that I would care what people say but... yeah.

The bartender slides me the whiskey and I immediately take a drink...now that's the stuff.
Howell: I got to Portland a little early and just walked around...it's pretty fucking cool the places you can find, so maybe I should do that more.
I take another sip and the taste of my drink is almost heavenly.
Howell: And you know what I have to say? Fuck people and what they think...I've had a lot worse things said about me before.

She smirks.
βββAmyβββ I have a HARD time believing that ANYONE would say a bad thing about you.
She takes a drink.
βββAmyβββ Then again there are few people like me who can tolerate someone like you.
She picks up her drink hiding her smile.

I take another drink of my whiskey and look up at Amy.
Howell: Shockingly, there aren't as many bad things said about me anymore, which is a bit of an adjustment.
Not really sure if it's a good or bad thing, because I did always like the back and forth...but I guess people liking you has it's advantages.
Howell: Tolerate though, that is different and yeah...not many can. At the beginning though, you DEFINITELY didn't.

βββAmyβββ I fucking hated you. Then again I was a little off my rocker back then, Comley... Asshole still stalks me when he randomly pops in for a day or two. But back then I would say ANYTHING to try to get under your skin, did it work?
She plays with her glass.
βββAmyβββ Maybe I was trying to get your attention then too. But that was before Dalton.

Howell: Little bit off your rocker back then? Yeah, a little might be understatement there missy...
I give off a slight chuckle at that, and then quickly finish off my Jack. Another one comes my way, because this bartender knows how to fucking get it done.
Howell: If you were trying to get my attention then you didn't do a good job of it. I've got little patience for anyone, especially someone giving me an attitude. Thank your lucky stars that I was willing to overlook that first encounter...
Ah, the douchey sarcastic side of me...isn't it fun? I know she can take it though, because we do give each other quite a bit of shit.

She rolls her eyes.
βββAmyβββ I wasn't that bad.
She takes a drink finishing off the glass.
βββAmyβββ Ok I was that bad. I was desperate, I came here alone and I know I am a pack animal. So I latched on to the first thing that came my way. I hate being alone ya know? BUT I don't have to worry about that now, I've made a handful of friends here so no matter where I roam I have someone to fall back on.

Howell: Yeah, well I was a doucey cokehead at that point, so we've all had our flaws...
Giving a shrug, some fairly big flaws right there.
Howell: Can make people do some crazy shit, but we're human, right? To fucking up and being a little better now...I think we can drink to that.
Holding my glass up to her.

βββAmyβββ A little better? Speak for yourself homie... I'm in shit creek BUT I'm trying... best I can.
She sees the look she gets.
βββAmyβββ I'll shut up and drink.
She raises her glass then drinks.
βββAmyβββ Word to the wise... relationships suck. Stay single, it's easier that way and find a good fuck buddy. Too late for me... maybe not for you though.

I give her a nod in agreement.
Howell: Oh trust me...I couldn't agree more. I mean fuck, I dated Alexis, if that hasn't turned me off from dating forever than nothing will.
Chills go down my body thinking about that...I must have been completely brain washed or stupid.
Howell: So much freedom...it's great. You should try it sometime.

βββAmyβββ I might say that relationships suck BUT truth is I hate being alone so even if I "tried it" in my ducked up head I would be looking for the next one. Even YOU can't deny it feels better to have a body in the bed next to you than sleeping alone. That's been one of the things killing me about managing Kerri, those one or two nights a week alone. Maybe I'm clingy but it's all good... I suppose.
She realized she was rambling and stops herself by taking a drink.
βββAmyβββ By the way... thanks for drinks.
She smiles.
βββAmyβββ I needed this escape.

Howell: Depends on how big the bed is...King is fine, but anything below that and the other person starts getting in your space or hogging the blankets...it can be a nightmare!
Mr. Positive over here...clearly we have differing views on relationships, but partly because I am still bitter.
Howell: No worries on the drinks...I figured I might as well pay once, you know the nice guy I am and all...
Giving her a smile with that piece of jest.
Howell: Good to escape every now and then...this shit gets heavy sometimes.

βββAmyβββ You're REALLY fucked up aren't you?
She didn't mean to say that out loud... oops...
βββAmyβββ I mean the whole thing about the bed, space is ok sometimes but really you think someone hogging the blanket is worse than actually having no one there? I have a hard time believing that. Maybe you just haven't found the person you want to share a blanket with, I'm sure when you do your whole lone wolf thing you got going on may change.
She takes a drink
βββAmyβββ It's gonna take a rare breed to be what you need... good luck with that bud.
She laughed not realizing what she said could be taken as digging into him.

Her words give me a slight chuckle.
Howell: I'm really fucked up? You're just realizing this now?
I take another sip of my whiskey and continue with a soft laugh.
Howell: I'm sure my past relationships have damaged me, though there's probably more to it than that. I guess it's just not something I'm looking for or think about at this point. My career and stepping into the ring is really what's on my mind at least 23 hours of the day anyway...but you're right it would take a rare breed to change my thinking I'm sure.
With a shrug I finish off the rest of my drink, and again immediately put up a finger for another.
Howell: There has to be something more positive to talk about than this, right?
