Karaoke Crazed

I topped off my night with Prince's "Little Red Corvette." By that time pretty much everyone knew I was straight, but a few guys still didn't. When Marcus got up to sing Loverboy's "Working for the Weekend," the military kid from earlier came right up and danced for me. He moved from side to side, gyrating his hips as he smiled at me.

Andy got up to do his song after that. I can't remember what it was, but I'm pretty sure it was good. As I left, I shook his hand. He told me to be good, gave me a big hug, and demanded I come in again. I totally will. Changes did wonders for my self-esteem.
