Shaken’ in my boots…..
Friday….
It’s raining…..
but it’s warm (yay!)
And it’s apartment hunting day with Jessica.
They have stopped to look at a apartment that Jessica had her eye on for a while now. It’s just outside of Knoxville and it’s a house, 3 bedroom raised ranch deal with a decent amount of land and you have the option to buy. How this went from apartment hunting to buying a house Billy will never know….
Not that is what is on his mind anyways. As Jessica and the landlord are talking on the porch Billy has wandered off towards the end of the driveway. It has nice garage with it so he could use that as his race shop if need be and there is plenty of room for his camper out back. It’s raining pretty hard and Billy is getting soaked and he doesn’t seem to care. His hands are in his front pockets of his pants and he looking down at the ground as he began to speak.
"You gunna teach me boy? The guy who lost to Kris Slade, the same Kris Slade that I will face next week and destroy….You are going to show me what a true proffessional looks like? You have got to be kidding me right? Ain’t no no name, lame ass poser such as your self ever gunna defeat me, let alone while Ima on my quest to be dis years Coronation Cup, to add to my collection. Here’s a hint Odyssey.” Billy slowly looks up and spits. Guess who has chew packed into his bottom lip. "It sure as hell won’t...be you. Got it?”
The rain is beating down on him pretty good. His hair is soaked, his beard is soaked. His flannel shirt is soaked right through too.
"Yeah you still have a shot at walkin’ into Destiny with an outside chance of winnin’ da cup, if you beat me and dat der, is one big if. It’s so big you can see it from space. Da astronauts on da space station sippin’ a little Redneck Remedy Moonshine can see dat If without da help of da hubble you know what I mean. It’s so big dat...dat it just doesn’t exist. Der isn’t even a question about dis. Ima gunna beat ya, and Ima gunna beat ya bad. I didn’t even had a reason before but now…..oh yeah now I have a reason. I have been here in da UWL fer two years now bustin’ my ass, growin’ my brand as big as I have and right now, dis month, it’s my stage to shine. Dis….is my comin’ out party!”
Billy shifts his weight to one side of his body.
"Da Cup is time to make a name fer yourself, to stamp it on the minds of da guys in the back. It’s time to stand out from da pack and dat is just what Ima gunna be doin’ see. I destroyed da Rat. I sent him back into da sewer with his tail tucked between his legs. I wrecked the current Prestige champion last week, and dis week…..I’ll turn Jay’s green and black mat to blood red after I get done beatin’ your dead carcass all over it come tomorrow night and everyone watchin’ on Fox Sports 1…….dey will see it. Dey will witness it. Dey….will see the end of the mighty and powerful Odyssey!”
Billy nods.
"You’ve got my word on dat boy. Ain’t no one stoppin’ me from claimin’ dat cup and gettin’ my hands on one Caleb Hart.”
Jessica calls out for Billy. She seems happy and the landlord seems happy too. Billy glances over his shoulder and then looks back with this super focused, driven look in his eyes.
"No one.”
