Chapter 5: I'll Have Another
Lance and Yazmín must have left the restaurant when I was trying to catch up on the tasks I had neglected while I was with Yasmín in the bathroom. I thought they were going to wait for me and take me back to his place when I was finished with work. I was disappointed because they had gotten me so horny and I thought they had come to my restaurant in order to pick me up. I was primed for another fun night of sexy debauchery, but it looked like it was going to be just me and my vibrator again instead.
Fuck!
I cursed to myself, realizing that I had forgotten to exchange phone numbers with them again. At least they know where I work. Hopefully, I thought, they will return soon. Of course, Lance left me a large tip, but that didn't make up for the missed opportunity at getting
his
large tip. I chuckled, amused by my sophomoric sense of humor.
When I left work, and walked down to the corner, I stopped at the bar. I looked inside, hoping to see them smiling and waving me in, but they didn't appear to be there.
"Hey Layla!" shouted a familiar voice. I looked behind me and was surprised to see a good-looking young man with short dreadlocks. It was Ty, my roommate's boyfriend.
"Oh, hey Ty! What are you doing here?"
"I'm just here for a night on the town. I was about to get a drink at Rendezvous. Care to join me? Alexis was supposed to meet me, but she just texted saying that something came up and she can't make it."
"Um sure, I guess. I just got off work, but the night is still young, I suppose. Why not?" We found a table and sat by the window, not far from where I had sat the previous weekend. When the waitress came, she recognized me and winked at me. I realized it was the same pretty brunette as last time - Desiré. She nodded her head toward Ty and raised her eyebrows. I could tell that she was teasing me for landing another good-looking date one week after the last one. I blushed. Feeling nostalgic, I ordered a Kahlua and Crème. She smiled and left.
"So, what's up with Alexis?" I asked. "Why didn't she come? What could she possibly be doing that's better than hanging out with us?"
He guffawed. "I don't know. She didn't say anything. I asked her if she was alright, but she hasn't responded yet," he answered, glancing at his phone. He paused, looking like he was both concerned and annoyed at her for ditching him. "Well, at least I got her hot roommate for the night!" We laughed as I pretended to be shocked and offended. I gave him a playful slap on the face.
Desiré returned with our drinks. "I made yours strong. You're going to need it," she said mysteriously as she put her hand on my back. Before I could ask her what she meant, she spun around, and walked away, swishing her short skirt.
Ty looked at me questioningly. "I have no idea what she meant by that," I said, shrugging my shoulders. "Here's to chance encounters."
We chatted about the usual stuff for a while, but he seemed distracted. Finally, I had to ask about his agitation. "Ty, is there something wrong? You seem distant and bothered. Is there a reason that Alexis isn't here with you?"
He took a swig of his drink. "This is embarrassing, but you've shared embarrassing secrets with me, so... Last weekend, after you told us your crazy story about your wild hookup, well it kind of turned us on. We got busy after we turned off the lights that night."
"I know. I heard you."
