Once upon a time ...

Once upon a time…

It was a Tuesday night in May. Two tennis buddies decided to drive to the East Bay and go roller skating. This was the first time skating for the younger guy. They drove to the roller rink in his buddy’s beige VW. His buddy was the expert. He can skate forward, backward, jump and do spins. The younger bud laced this skates for the first time. He slowly walked off the rugged floor and to the hard wood floors. He did his best to skate taking one shaky step at a time. Everyone was going clockwise. Other skaters were passing by. The music was disco. He loved dance music.  He kept head down, trying to keep his balance, and trying not to fall. Unknown, to the young bud, another skater was there that night and was admiring him.

At mid-point of the evening, the DJ announced that was couples’ skate. The young bud started to skate off the hard wood floor. Then, all of the sudden, the admirer came behind him and asked him to the couples’ skate. He said yes. From then on, the two was inseparable.  They skated together until it was closing time.

The admirer headed back to the city on the chartered bus while the two tennis buddies head back in the VW.

The admirer and young bud made a date for the following week.
