I was working at this music store for the summer in a big tourist city in the southeast. It was at the time I was young and wanting to party more at nights with my friends. And still have time for band practice after work. I was playing guitar in a local metal band. So of course I wasn't interested in a serious job. I have been attending a college outside of the city, but on the count of it being summer I decided to take the semester off.
I worked the day shift with another girl, her name was Tamika. She was a beautiful black girl about 5'4" with long brown hair, which she kept it up at work. Tamika was in the ages of 19 and she was hot. I have had some interest in he, but I wasn't sure she would go for a white boy like me. So many times I have tried to ask her out as a friend and co-worker, but she would always tell me she had something else to do. So this one night I asked her to come to check out our band, we were playing two sets at a local bar in the city. I let her know it would be a lot of people there. Tamika told me she would think about it.
So that night our band was preparing to do our first set on stage. The bar was full of people and it was dark and full of smoke. So I decided to step outside for some air and to get the smoke out of lungs. My eyes were burning up and tearing because of the smoke. So I walked out the door with my beer in hand. And all of a sudden someone tapped on my shoulder, I turned around with a huge smile. To my surprise it was Tamika and two of her friends. Tamika asked me if I could get her and her friends in the door without a cover charge. She mentions all that she had was enough to drink on. So I led them through the door. I let her know that I had her on the guest list, so even if she didn't see me she would have gotten in.
So we talked for awhile before I joined the band on stage. Hours later we finished our sets and returned to the bar. We spoke to most of our friends and fans at the bar. Then after I did my public relations with the fans and friends. I quickly found Tamika and her friends and we talked for awhile before they had to be on their way. Tamika let me know that our music was her type that she liked, but I made it sound good to her by knowing me.
