The Right Side of Memphis by Jennifer Scott Page A

ride motorbikes.  The guys were riding motorcycles.  Bobby stuck with his dirt bike though.  That just happened to be his favorite hobby.  Andy was preferential to the cycles.  Chris was not as excited about the idea.  He tagged along just for the heck of it.  As they were riding along the trails, they found a private road.  Andy notified, “This is the property owned by that movie director, Ben Matthews.  I think he only comes out here every once in a while.”  Chris was just waiting for Lana to come down the road.  She didn’t, but he felt like leaving anyway.  He told everyone he was tired and wanted to head back.  He told Billie to have a good time and not to worry about him.  He was asking too much of her.  Everyone said they would catch up with him later. 
    Billie had been riding with Chris, so Andy suggested she ride with him instead.  Louise had stayed behind, along with Maria.  They were getting the food and stuff ready for the cookout. Billie was thrilled to be riding with Andy because she knew he was wild when it came to motorcycles.  They continued to ride around for a few hours and covered at least thirty miles of territory.  That was the perfect opportunity for Billie to ask Andy a rather touchy question.  She asked, “What was the deal a few years ago about cutting down those trees on public property?” 
    Andy commented, “How can I forget about that one.  It was all a big misunderstanding.  I actually owned the land, but they thought it wasn’t mine to begin with. We finally did get it straightened out.  In the end, they were apologizing.”  Billie was so glad that he didn’t have to serve time behind bars.  Andy was one of the nicest guys she had ever met.
    The sun was setting on the water once they returned.  Chris was lying on a lawn chair, playing his harmonica.  He said to Billie, “How about going for a swim with me late tonight?”
    Billie thought, “Why not right now?” 
    He pleaded, “Because I want us to have privacy, once everyone is asleep.” 
    Billie knew then what he meant, and she said, “I will think about it.” 
    He then asked, “Did you have fun with Andy?  Did you ride with Bobby Douglas, too?” 
    Billie lectured, "Well, if you had stuck around instead of running from Lana again, we could've been on the bikes together." Chris just went back to playing his harmonica.
    After they had dinner, a few of the singers decided to rehearse for the big concert that was to be held in two days.  While Billie was socializing with some of the guests, Chris was trying his best to be at his worst.  Bobby was the target of his aggressions.  He was trying to carry on a conversation, and Chris was trying to avoid one.  Bobby claimed, “I think this was one of Andy’s greatest ideas yet.  I also believe that everyone is having a wonderful time, including Billie.” 
    Chris declared, “Well, Billie bumps in to reality and bruises easily.  As for me, I feel as if I am on a Federal Express to Hell.” 
    That took Bobby off guard.  He ended the conversation by saying, “I think I will go look for Kelly now.” 
    Chris added, “I saw her earlier.  She mentioned something about taking a dip in the pool.  She may not be there now though.” 
    Bobby asserted, “I’ll catch up with her once I’ve taken care of a few things.”  That was music to Chris' ears.  Now he could begin his revenge.
    Chris went looking for Billie before his plan would fail.  When he found her, she asked, “What is the big rush?”
    He lied, “I just have an urge to be fulfilled.  I asked you about it earlier.  I figured if we were going to go for a swim, we should do it soon, before others get the same idea.  As a matter of fact, I heard someone say they wanted to go swimming later on tonight.”  Billie wondered why he was acting stranger than usual.  When they reached the pool, Chris started removing his clothes. 
    Billie objected, “I don’t think this is a
