How many can fit in a bench truck/Helllo Zeke.- Dec 16 2011 I usually am on Plentyoffish.com when I'm traveling. I guess I hope I might meet a guy that doesn't drive me completely insane. So far I haven't met anyone “normal.” Anyway, I got an email from a guy named Zeke and I responded (because I always do...maybe I'm a glutton for punishment?). Zeke seemed normal enough and I confessed that was moving in about a month. He was being deployed to Afghanistan. I didn't find him to be all that attractive based off his pictures but I felt bad because a.) he was being deployed. b.) he was only in town for some training and knew one other guy and c.) he was being deployed directly from Yuma. Zeke is a Army guy and stationed in Alaska. He's a paratrooper and also trains military dogs and is originally from Oregon. I exchanged numbers with him and we began texting. Just before Christmas, Veronica decided to have a Mexican Christmas feast. Edmond cooked some carne asada meat and Lacy, Lily, Veronica, Edmond and I pigged out. We sipped a few margaritas and got ready to head out to the bar. Somehow, we decided riding five people to one bench seat truck was a great idea and piled in. At some point we stopped at a light and Edmond started making gestures at the car next to us (you know only guy with four girls). Veronica and I told him about the tinted windows and Edmond said he can still see out of them. We reiterated that WE HAD TINTED WINDOWS. Edmond finally knocked it off and quit. We arrived at Mineshaft and I invited Zeke to meet us. I informed the girls. We were all fairly buzzed, except Edmond who was completely inebriated. Lacy decided to take Eddie on the dance floor to sober up. Edmond went grudgingly complaining that he wanted another drink. Lacy was able to distract him for a bit but he finally made his way to the bar and ordered a Jagermeister and vodka. The bartender refused to make such a disgusting drink. Lacy told her to make a Jagermeister and red bull and quickly snatched the drink away from Edmond telling him she wanted a sip. He finally was corralled to the table and we all guzzled the drink down so he only got a small sip. I finally received a text from Zeke saying that he was at the bar at Mineshaft. I told the girls and Veronica proceeded to yell “ZZZZZZEEEEEKKKKKKEEEEE!” Several times. Loudly. Zeke located us without any problems (Thanks Veronica). Edmond immediately swooped in on Zeke and began to tell him how he should come stand between Roma and me and exactly how he could “pick” us up. Lacy and the other girls decided to get Edmond back on the dance floor. I complimented Zeke for not punching Edmond in the face and we talked. The girls had to apologize to just about every person on the dance floor for Edmond because he managed to bump them all at one point or another. The girls would occasionally come over to check on me and I kept telling them that I was not on a date and that Zeke was just looking for friends in the area. I guess I wasn't convincing (even though it was the case). Veronica even threatened to kick Zeke's ass if he took me. Eventually the girls were exhausted from Edmond and we all decided to leave around 1am. Zeke offered to give someone a ride but considering we were all going to the same place and he was heading the opposite way, we declined. Plus we had way too much fun before. I said good bye to Zeke and climbed in the truck. This time Veronica was halfway on my lap and halfway on Edmond's lap. We had laughs on the ride home and as we pulled into Veronica's driveway, Edmond opened the door and both Edmond and Veronica fell out. I was in shock. I then laughed. It all occurred in slow motion, Veronica started fall and took Edmond with her. While they were on the ground, Lacy was the only one composed enough to inquiry if they were okay. Veronica's response was “of course not.” It was hilarious and Lily, Veroica and I would talk about this moment for weeks to come.
