The Bachelor

 

          

 

Johnny in his late 30s.  A bachelor.  He loved those denim jeans with the blue washed look.  Braces holding them up over his naked top half of his body.  Looking like his grandfather before but less dressed.  He thought of himself as confident content in himself.  A ladies man too.  Sitting outside the families’ petrol station in Kentucky.  He ran the business now as his parents had passed away.  Sitting on the wooden barrel he watched on as customers filled their tanks up full of gas.  Puffing on his grandfather’s pipe.  Caught between the now and the past. 

Hello ladies he said as two blondes walked by him.  They just smiled thought he was cute but possibly too wild dangerous for them.  He had that wild glint in his eyes.  He looked on wishing they could see past his hard muscle torn chest and cheeky look. 

All I want is to settle down.  A wife and family. 

Jeff came over.

Can I get a light off you as he touched Johnny’s leg.  Johnny’s eyes widened with shock and he left the wooden barrel immediately
