"Excuse me?!" I waved my hand and yelled out across the crowded bar counter. "Hello!"
Ugh... I roll my eyes and step back, as two guys push against me to try and get served. But that damn bartender keeps flirting with the group of girls at the other end. I've been waiting here for 10 minutes, trying to get served. I didn't even want to go out but my friends Mike and Kara wanted to go out to celebrate Kara's promotion. They made it here before me and already got drinks, but didn't order me one.
I work my way towards the other end of the counter, and try again. "Excuse, can I please get a vodka cranberry?" I'm ignored, once again. But, I know he heard me since he glanced over in my direction before looking back to the other group of girls.
"He's a total dick if you ask me. If you're not blonde and a size 2, he barely looks at you. And anyone that wouldn't give you a second look is insane," she winked before continuing, "I don't know how this bar is as packed as they are, since he never waits on anyone."
Talking to me is one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen. She was 5'7 or 5'8, light tan skin, dark black wavy hair cascading down her back, and piercing green eyes, dressed in tight ripped jeans that hugged all her curves, a sheer cami over a black lace bra and a leather jacket, and black heels. She was gorgeous, and I had a hard time believing she had ever been denied service before, here or anywhere.
I was shocked by her comment on my looks. I never thought I was ugly, but never really saw myself as beautiful or sexy either. I was 5'4, light alabaster skin covered in freckles, shoulder length mahogany brown hair and gray eyes behind black rimmed glasses. I wasn't overweight but I was definitely a bigger, curvy girl. My large chest usually showed ample cleavage, which did occasionally earn me looks from guys, along with inappropriate comments.
"Were you talking to me?," I asked.
She gave me a smile, and held out her hand, "I'm Sadie."
"Nice to meet you, I'm Chloe." I feel electricity run through my fingers as we lock hands, her eyes locked on mine. I feel my cheeks redden, and I quickly look away, slowly pulling my hand from hers.
"Let me help," she turns and literally pushes the group of girls aside. "Excuse me, 2 double vodka cranberries, 2 scotch and sodas, and 2 shots of tequila. Now, or I'll get Dave down here and fire your ass."
She turns back and smiles at me, before leaning closer for me to hear, "My cousin Dave owns the place, I'm staying with him for a bit while my place is being renovated. I'll still tell Dave about this guy tomorrow."
"Thanks. You didn't have to do that."
"It's my pleasure, honestly." I feel her eyes on me as she hands me my drinks, causing me to blush again. I feel the same electricity run through me once more, as her fingers touch mine, "I got you a couple doubles, that should last you awhile. And I got us each a shot."
She hands me mine and says, 'cheers', and we down them. While I'm not a fan of tequila, I'm grateful for it anyways. Always grateful for a little extra liquid courage when I'm stuck sitting in a bar all night, and won't turn down a free shot.
"I'm here with some friends," I nod towards the back where Mike and Kara are seated. "You can join us at our table. If you want to, that is."
I'm a little surprised by how much I'm hoping she says yes. I don't know why I don't want to walk away; maybe I'm just feeling grateful for the help with the drinks. I shrug off the thought just before Sadie answers.
"I would love to." She smiles and tells me to lead the way. As we push through the crowded bar, I can feel her close behind me. I make all the introductions and slide into the booth opposite Mike and Kara, and Sadie slides in next to me, a little closer than would be needed, but the warmth of her against me is welcoming.
The night drones on, and Kara keeps trying to get me to go over and talk to different guys but I keep turning her down. "Come on! You haven't been with anyone in like 8 months since you and Shane broke up, unless you've been keeping secrets!"
I blush, both at the comment, and because I feel Sadie move her hand across her legs and when she stops I feel graze my thigh. When I don't move, she seems to rest her hand half on her leg and half on mine. "I haven't been keeping secrets. I'm just not looking to rush into another relationship."
"Who said anything about a relationship! You need to get laid! We girls need orgasms to live! Besides, you know that saying, 'You can only get over someone, by getting under someone else'," she says, only half joking.
