I was sitting at a slot machine on the end of an isle, mindlessly pressing the buttons and watching the reels spin. A small commotion to my left pulled my attention away from the machine.
I almost dropped the drink I was sipping from when I seen the small group of people heading toward the escalator, and who that group was surrounding. Quickly cashing out and gathering my belongings, I headed after them.
My heart was pounding as I straightened my jean mini skirt and walked towards the escalator. My mind was racing. All of my fantasies were flashing before my eyes. It was time to make at least one of those fantasies come true ...
My hand was trembling slightly as I set some money on the bar and motioned for the bartender to come over. As the bartender approached, my eyes scanned the crowd. 'What can I get you?' he asked.
'A Sex on The Beach, please' I yelled over the noise of the bar. He smiled and turned to make my drink.
With trembling fingers, I lit a cigarette. Exhaling slowly to try to calm my nerves, I watched the bartender return with a foot tall plastic cup in the shape of a guitar. He set it on the bar in front of me with a smile and said, 'Enjoy.'
'Is He here?' I asked.
Placing his hands on the bar and leaning towards me, he responded, 'Well, if you mean 'The owner' of this place, yes he's here tonight. He's in the back.'
Running my fingers through my long, brown hair and tilting my head a bit, I asked with a seductive smile, 'Any way you can get me back there to meet him?'
I watched his eyes move downwards from my face to rest on my chest. Knowing that the tight spaghetti strap camisole top I was wearing was showing him the swell of my breasts, I straightened on the barstool and grabbed my drink. I held it in front of me as I played with the straw with my tongue before wrapping my lips around it to suck in the sweet fluid. I watched him staring at my mouth as I drank.
When I set the drink back on the bar, I leaned forward slightly and looked up at him with questioning eyes and a smile.
He glanced around before responding, 'Sit tight and don't go anywhere. I'll see what I can do.'
I watched him say something to another bartender, then go out the side opening of the bar and walk across the crowd of people and tables towards the stage. He disappeared through a door next to the stage and my heart was pounding with anticipation.
I snuffed out my cigarette then picked up my drink, sucking half of it down waiting for him to emerge again.
After what seemed like an eternity, the bartender finally reappeared from the door. I watched him walk through the crowd, stopping occasionally to greet and shake hands with the customers. Finally returning behind the bar, he stood with his back to me. He turned with another guitar shaped drink and headed towards me. As he set the drink on the bar in front of me, he leaned over to say in my ear, 'It's a strong possibility. You'll just have to wait and see.'
He stood up straight extending his hand as he said, 'By the way, I'm Tony and your drinks are on the house tonight.'
I shook his hand and smiled as I responded, 'Thanks Tony. I'm Dawn.'
I quickly finished my first drink, then as I grabbed the fresh one I said with a wink, 'And Tony, I'll wait all night if I have to.'
Tony smiled at that, then asked 'So where are you from, Dawn?'
'Chicago,' I answered before taking the straw into my mouth and sucking down more of the sweet drink.
'Well, welcome to Harrah's Las Vegas Dawn. How long are you staying? Who are you here with?' he asked.
'I'm here with a few friends until Monday,' I told him.
As the night went on, Tony occasionally left me to take care of other patrons at the bar, periodically returning to me with a fresh drink and idle chit-chat. I listened to the music, occasionally standing up to dance when one of my favorite songs came on, and periodically turning down propositions from guys asking me to sit with them.
After awhile, the music went dead and the overhead lights flickered. The crowd went wild as we heard the first strums of the guitar. Then His voice ...
'We got winners, we got losers ... chain smokers and boozers .... And we got yuppies and we got bikers ... we got thirsty hitchhikers ... '
My heart was pounding with excitement. I stood up and began yelling, whistling and singing along. My eyes never left him as he continued to sing. I could swear that he looked directly at me several times, giving me that beautiful, sexy smile of his. Oh my God, I was in love with his mouth!
After singing several songs, he thanked the crowd and exited the stage. Giddy with excitement, and perhaps the several drinks I had consumed, I returned to my barstool. I looked over at Tony, who was on the phone, and he turned and smiled at me.
After hanging up the phone, Tony headed towards me. He leaned over the bar and asked, 'So, are you ready to meet Him?'
Stunned, and suddenly nervous, I responded, 'Abso-fuckin-lutely!'
Tony laughed and said, 'Ok, follow me.'
