The General's crew brawls again...
Last night was fun. The Turk crew supervisor and foreman joined Ramesh and a friend of his, Zac, Julia, Tom, Adam and me. The specialist that Tom had been waiting over a week for finally showed up later in the evening. We were all downstairs at Cheers having dinner and a few drinks, just carrying on and having a good time. Julia and I even got up on the floor for a dance. I’m not really very good at it but managed to twirl her around a bit without stepping on her toes (I think). The Indians were all dancing and having a great time as well. One of them kept pestering Zac to get on the floor with them and, of course, he said no. Guys just don’t dance with other guys (unless they are gay of course), especially the way they dance together here. He came back a couple times and kept trying. The last time he was literally trying to pull Zac out on the floor and I stood up to stop him. Not trying to start a fight (this time) just stop him from pestering us. I think Zac though differently about my intentions and stood up quickly and blocked me, which he can do rather easily, as he is a pretty big guy. The Turks, sitting at the other end of the table, also jumped up. I think the point was made anyway as the pest went away. It was funny since Zac and I had been talking earlier and I promised him that I wouldn’t try to start any more fights and, as I said, that was not my intention this time.
Apparently, a couple nights ago, after I had returned to my room early, they had all stayed downstairs late and Tom got into it with someone who had grabbed Julia’s ass while she and Tom were dancing. From what I hear, Julia whirled around and smacked the crap out of him. Something like this had happened some time back and that girl can definitely handle herself.
I know all this really bothers Zac, which is why I promised to behave, and I will do so. The poor guy must be going nuts with Tom and I here getting rowdy and stirring up crap all the time. Actually, Tom does most of the stirring and I just usually get caught up in the moment, reacting to something that is happening. Anyway, things settled right back down and we continued our evening. I had a couple more drinks and headed upstairs. I think they were headed for another late night room party but I just didn’t feel like attempting an all nighter… We did them weekly when I first arrived but lately I just haven’t had the desire for that. At this point I’m just ready to get home to spend time with Stacey and ride again.
