I had been driven to a bar where I was sitting at the bar supping a gin and tonic killing time until my step sister picked me up after she visited a sick relative, in hospital, to visit to a rich uncle, she had told me that she would be a gone a couple of hours, three at the most, and to get something to eat. Then adding ‘you’ll be OK without me without me’ she asked as she reached for a pad that lay on the bar and scribbled down her cell phone number and blew me a sisterly kiss and said don’t get into any sort of trouble, see ya later honey.
The establishment was a new venture since I was there on my last visit, which the food according to legend was pretty damn fine! An independent Pizza Parlour that already had establabished premises downtown had opened it in this plaza.
The place was empty except for a few diners using the pizza restaurant towards the rear of the establishment, although the servers wafted around looking as if they were busy. It was around 6.30 pm, as he polished the glasses to keep him occupied he asked, ‘where ya from buddy, Australia’?
‘Do I sound Australian’ I asked him indignantly, as he slopped more liquor into my glass and threw in a couple of ice cubes and a slice of lime for good measure. ‘Yes’, he replied.
‘No, I originate from Britain.’ I had asked for him to run a tab for me until I left, then I would settle up my bill and give him his tip that I knew that he would expect. The keep was an older guy and he chuckled to me, ‘oh well even I make mistakes from time to time’. I threw back at him, as do Bush and Blair, a right cockup they have made between them.
Warming to him, I asked if he would like a drink I asked him, he reached for a bottle, poured out a shot of bourbon, and raised his glass in a salute, ‘what do you guys say when you do this’.
‘Cheers’, I replied, ‘or here’s mud in your eye,’ or ‘even bottoms’ up’ I added.
‘You sound as if you come from Italy with that accent,’ and he proudly replied ‘that I do.’
The bar was lit if you could call it lit, there were a few candles burning on the bar in saucers and a few lights at the back of the bar. When she had dropped me off, the setting sun was sinking rapidly in the west over the Hudson River, towards the Catskills. By now it was dark outside, although the lot was well illuminated, none of the lot’s lighting reached through the large glass windows.
One of the servers, came across and sat on a bar stall adjacent me, as the keep and I chatted. The bar keep passed her a glass of something from a bottle that stood on a shelf behind the bar. The bar keep and I carried on chatting, the server said to me, ‘hey, I love your accent, where ya from baby?’
‘Britain’ I replied to her question.
She told me her name, I’m Debbie, pleased to meet you, she said, reaching her hand to mine to shake it, and drawing the bar stool closer to me. As the keep wandered off to attend to business she kept talking to me, ‘I know someone who lives in Warwickshire, may be you know them.’
‘I doubt it, Debbie, Britain is a pretty large country, and not the tiny area that you guys think it is!’
She pulled out a roll of dollar bills and began to count it. ‘I am off shift now it has gone seven pm, she told me, like a top up’ she asked ‘I have had a good session today with a lot of tips…’
‘Hey, Joe, man, she called to the keep, get this guy another drink,’ she tossed a $10 bill on the bar. She was so close she was almost sitting on my lap by this time. Her body language came on strong; her leg was crossed over the other one and her shoe dangled on the toe of her foot. Whereabouts in the UK do you come from she questioned me. I told her, my home village’s name, where is that exactly and is a nice place. She queried.
‘Kent, the Garden of England,’ I told her; it is about 36 miles south of London. Debbie leaned her hand on my leg, and leaning over to me, whispered conspiratorially, ‘you aint gay are you?’ I laughed at her, no chance, ‘I hope I do not look gay,’
No but you keep moving away from me so I just wondered, there are so many gays around here, she confided, especially during the early evening.
I told her, and then adding, ‘I don’t push shit up hill without a wheelbarrow,’ I am totally and absolutely straight, and with a saucy grin on my face; I reached across and felt her medium sized breast that was nearest to me. It was full, nice and firm, and then removing my hand.
Her reply to my action was, ‘no way you ain’t gay doing that, grabbing my titty in that way! You like what you feel, cute arse?’
‘Yes very much so…’ I left the rest of my comment hanging in the air.
Debbie stood and saying excuse me, I must go to the bathroom and change, she picked up her purse and walked off towards the rear. I noticed that she had a nice arse, she must have felt my eyes sizing it up, because she looked round and waved to me, sashaying her hips as she made her way off to the bathrooms.
On her return, I had another drink set up for her waiting on the bar. She had changed into her civvies; she looked even better than in the servers’ uniform, and she wore a silky blouse with a plunging neckline and a short skirt. The blouse was not see-through, but I could clearly see her bra under this.
She stood around five feet four inches tall, her slimness emphasised her height. She had nice legs, they gave me the impression they were shapely under her skirt and her hair, previously this was styled this in a french roll, now hung loosely reaching to her shoulders, framing her oval face and her full sensual lips, her eyes were large and looked almost oriental with a petite nose. Her tongue, pinkish coloured darted out licking her lips as if she was nervous. Her hands appeared to be small and her fingers long and delicate in the poor lighting, her fingers adorned with long false nails decorated with symbols, as is the current style.
She sat herself on a barstool, we continued talking, and she asked me if I were single. ‘Yes, my ex walked out a few years ago, for someone who had more money than sense.’ I tried to make it sound light and I smiled at her as I did so.
‘How about you.’ I asked curiously, any husbands or boyfriends? Nah! She replied, I was in a deep a relationship but it did not work out, he was a nurse at the hospital, working nights, then one day I came home unexpectedly and he was giving a length of his dick to some tart on our bed.’ She paused… ‘Funnily enough, if you can call this funny, we went to the same college together and she was the same bitch who took my date off me for the senior prom. She was a cheerleader for the football team, and thought she was hot shit! I saw her shortly before the time when my man was fucking her she working at K-mart’s store as a clerk.’
Changing the subject, she asked me what I was doing in the country. Telling her that I come to the US to visit my step-sister on occasions. ‘She lost her husband during the late eighties from a heart attack.’
‘Sorry to hear that,’ she replied. Debbie asked me if I had eaten, no I replied, not yet, I was going to get something here.
‘Lets go somewhere else’ she suggested, ‘if you do not mind me being forward, and you want company. Although they have a good reputation for the quality of their food, because I work here I do not want to eat here, I know several good eating houses what do you prefer,’ she asked.
