After we ate our food, we then heard Hugh sing while playing the acoustic guitar.
Hugh sang to the tune of Closing Time by Supersonic, what he dubbed “Mingling Time.”
He said, “Mingling Time! Open all the shores and let you out into the world
Mingling Time! Turn all of the lights off for every boy and girl,
I know who would want to take me, gnome, I know who would want to take me, gnome! Take me, bros and sisbros!”
A guy with slick backed, dark brown hair said in the back, “That’s not even clever! You’re changing the words to Closing Time, you oafish
dunce! Go back to your I-phones!”
Another person asked loudly, “What the hell is a sisbro???”
Several people of the party laughed, and others snickered, as Hugh stopped playing.
A friend of Elizabeth, a girl with dirty brown, curly blonde hair in the black tanktop with the gray sweatpants, said to Hugh, “Don’t worry about
him, that was good.”
Hugh said to her, “Name’s Hugh Garlepp. What’s yours?”
Holding out her hand for it to be kissed, the girl replied, “Suzy Donahue.”
Hugh kissed her hand, as they walked out holding hands.
Hugh replied, “That is all. Hope you enjoyed ‘Mingling Time.’”
They clapped as he walked out.
He then went up to me, and decided to talk to me afterwards.
He said to glaringly, “Josh, may I have a word with you in private?”
I said, “Sure, what is it?”
I went out to the patio with him to talk on the porch bench while drinking one of the beers from the fridge. It was so fresh, as it was ice cold
from being well refrigerated. It’s so good when you can just feel and drink a nice cold beer.
Hugh said to me, “It has come to my attention, that you saw and heard suspicious activity involving a van, right?”
I said as I drank my beer, “Sure, I guess.”
He said, “I’ve heard sources say to me that you are aware of mafia activity and their presence around you?”
I said, “I guess?”
He responded, “Let me guess. They wiretapped your phones, so you don’t have a place to stay.”
He said, “Do you have a place to stay? If you need protection from the mafia, you and Randy are more than welcome to stay here with
Alexandra and I at the beach house. I’m extending my invitation. Rent will be free of charge.”
I replied, “That sounds great!”
Hugh shook my hand. He said, “That’s awesome! Now, let’s enjoy the party.”
