You in My Arms

The limousine dropped Jason off at his house in Oakhurst. That’s another thing—this job will do. It will save me money on gas. Asbury Park is a hell of a lot closer than Point Pleasant.


He was working at the Ocean View the night his parents died. Then, it was his summer job. He’d worked bagging groceries last winter when the Ocean View closed for the season. The Ocean View and The Sunset Club were completely different animals. The Sunset Club was open year round and always hopping. The gay denizens of Asbury Park and the surrounding towns had taken to the place and it was busy all year long, but in the summer, it was crazy. On the other hand, the Ocean View closed from October until April which left him bagging groceries for the winter on the graveyard shift at Acme. It made for a lean Christmas. Bobby and Reggie got the guys to ante up for Christmas presents for Kitty and a gag gift for him. It wasn’t the only time his soccer friends had saved his ass during the previous year.
