A smile grew on his face as Lettie accepted Tony’s invitation.  He knew that Friday and Saturday nights were the busy nights at the club and it was also a busy time for him as clubs stocked up for the weekend and restocked after a busy Friday night.  He asked,<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#4dffff"> “How about Monday.  I will pick you up and take you to dinner.  We can go someplace and talk.  After dinner we will go in search of the second-best singer in New York and maybe do some dancing.”</span><br/><br/>Leaning forward he kissed her hand and bid her farewell.  The rest of the week and weekend kept him busy making an extra run or two out to the ships and making sure that all the deliveries were made in time to shut down early on Monday night.  He’d spoken to Rocco and Phil and had a table reserved for dinner at the Delmonico's and then a quiet booth with a good view of the stage at Cotton Club.  Both managers owed him some favors and he was going to cash a few in on his date.<br/><br/>He had women that called on him more than he called them but there was something about Lettie that got him going.  His suit had been pressed and his shoes shined he took a hot shower and shaved twice to make sure his face was smooth.  A splash of cologne and one last look in the mirror before he slid behind the wheel of his Auburn Boattail.  He was proud to own such a fine car but more so because he knew that all the people would see him with Lettie when they got out and they would definitely be looking to see who got out.<br/><br/><div class="bbCodeSpoiler">
