Fics like not the sort of guy you marry

“Scorcher Kennedy,” he said. “Are you trying to kiss me?” He was grinning again, from ear to ear, and the smartest thing to do would have been to walk away now, right after walking away when I first saw his sorry head bent over his beer. But he was right, I hadn’t been touched in a long time. And Frank didn’t know a damn thing about me no matter what he said, but he saw the shape of the dark animal inside me, and that night, that was enough. “Shut up, shut up,” I said, and kissed him. Nothing like how I would have kissed Laura. The smell of her hair curler lingering, just on the edge of burnt. Her lipstick smearing, her laugh as she wiped it off me. With Frank it was teeth and the taste of cheap beer. Yesterday’s shave job growing into patchy stubble. ----- Frank Mackey and Scorcher Kennedy run into each other at a bar. Frank's having a bad day, Scorcher's having a bad existence, and they make some bad decisions together to blow off some steam.
