The weird way I met someone

[Abbey Marie]

I met this woman in the Montana Bar one time in Las Vegas, not a bad looking older blond. I started talking with her and she had some fantastical stories about being from a rich family, oil money, and she got a monthly allowance of sorts to just stay out of their hair. She went so far as to show me her check book that had random entries and looked like a grade schooler was making hap hazard entries in it, but the balance near as I could see was in the hundreds of thousands. I didn't care and I didn't believe her. We got a little toasty and I took her to my place and she spent the night. The next morning she said just take me back down to the bar which I did. I never saw her again, but when I got back home I noticed she had slipped a check for $5,000 under a glass on the night stand next to my bed. I almost threw it away, but I took it to the credit union on base at Nellis... and it was good.

That was the oddest thing that ever happened to me with a woman.

Wow! Sounds like Harry Chapin a bit: "I stashed the bill in my shirt".

I was ready to be embarrassed for bringing the check to the teller, and have her tell me no, this is bogus.

I looked for her after that. I asked around if anyone had seen her before or knew her name but all in vane. She was nice, pleasant, and seemed lonely. I kinda liked her. I wouldn't have accepted a check had she tried to hand it to me. I'd have thought it wasn't any good anyway. I also would have been slightly insulted to think she felt she had to PAY me to be with me anyway. That ain't me. I spent time with her because I WANTED to. Vegas might be a fun town for a vacation and to party but it can be a lonely cruel place. I couldn't wait to get out of there after just shy of 4 years.
