I have this curious characteristic about me. People tend to tell me things that I don't ever ask them to tell. For some reason, once we get past the pleasantries, their closets open and out come all these secrets.
In high school I became everyone's confessor, and they started calling me Father Sterling. In college, I simply became Priest, and it didn't matter where I went or what job I held, from the staff to the customers, someone was always tugging on my shirt tail, pulling me aside, and whispering their sins in my ear. Depending on who owned the lips, that wasn't always a bad thing.
So it was when I was tending bar at Red River that my next parishioner walked through the door. She was a pretty thing - long blond hair down to her waist, legs up to her neck, body built by God's merciful hands. A gorgeous white woman with a black woman's round, heart shaped ass. Jesus, her jeans were the greatest story ever told.
When she smiled, her hazel eyes shimmered, and I felt it all the way down to my balls. Got a fucking hard on as she pulled up a seat and asked to see the manager. I offered her a cold beer on the house as I went to the back office to get Marty.
"There's a fucking beauty out there wantin' to talk to you, you lucky son of a bitch. If she's looking, hire her!"
"For what?"
"Who the fuck cares? After you see her, you'll know why."
Marty half laughed as he spit a wad of tobacco in his foam cup and got his fat ass out of the chair. I smirked as I watched the old man walk out of the office and stop dead in his tracks before composing himself. I saw that old perv grab his crotch as he walked over to her, evidently having the same reaction I did, and in fifteen minutes, we had a new waitress.
"Welcome to the Red River," I told her and smiled, reaching down for another beer. "Good to have you."
"You might wait until you get to know me first before you decide on that one."
I laughed. She laughed. Oh, I really liked her now. Katy was from Katy, Texas, so I don't know if that was her real name or not. I really didn't care. She was fucking hot and a lot of fun. Spit nails and wit at you like buckshot, but you couldn't help but like her. Katy didn't take any shit, and she didn't like being chased. Marty found that out real quick when he kept pushing himself on her.
"Look, I don't open my legs for anybody unless I want to." She emphasized the "I" hard, and the word hissed from between her lips like the whisper of a snake's tongue. "There's not enough of you or any other man to break me open and get into my pants. So, if you want me to stay, it's on my terms. If not, I'll take my couple days pay right now, and you can kiss my white ass!" Now that was my kind of woman.
Things settled down a bit in about a week or so, and we all got chummy and started having a real good time together. Marty's wife hated Katy. She was too pretty, she said. Well, truth hurts, don't it? Anyway, we soon got into a routine. When all the drunks went home, and Katy and I were left alone cleaning up and closing down, we shot the shit. And flirted.
In the past few weeks, flirting became quite normal for us. One night somebody played some rap shit on the jukebox, and she dared me to dance with her. I couldn't resist. As soon as we got on the dance floor, she started moving. Good God, not only did she have a black woman's ass but she had the moves to match.
Katy knew real well what to do with what God gave her, that's for damn sure, and when she pulled me to her and turned around, popping that ass up and down against my crotch, I about blew a load right then and there. We laughed it off then, but we weren't laughing now.
"What's with you tonight, K? You seem a little distracted."
"Just some old shit."
"Boyfriend, shit?"
"In a way."
As we talked, she started telling me that her brother-in-law had died, and she didn't know if she was going to the funeral. I figured it was the usual in-law kind of shit. I poured me a whiskey and got her a beer while she rolled a joint for us to smoke. Taking a few tokes, she then started telling me about her and Doug.
"The thing is I liked him the first time I saw him, but he came on too strong, and I did my thing and walked off. In fact, I left to go to school in Austin. When I came back on Christmas break, I found out he was dating my sister. We saw each other at the family Christmas party, and he looked so good.
