I worked at a family owned BBQ restaurant located right off the interstate in a busy area. We were the home of many regulars, but to even more travelers with a cheap hotel in the parking next door.
My boss was the typical sleazy older man, but with a kind heart. He had arrangements with certain waitresses, these were the ones who would come and go.
Even though I knew about these affairs, it never really affected me. My boss always treated me like a lady and with respect, with a few comments here and there on how beautiful I am and how he would pay me any day to dance for him. But, it truly felt all in fun. I was a "good girl".
At the time I was in a broken marriage that was collapsing more day by day. I wasn't trying to meet anyone, have sex, or honestly save my marriage. All I was focused on at the time was saving money to get out.
I worked during the day cleaning houses and the restaurant at night. I could have made more money working at a more high end restaurant, but it was flexible with my schedule and I really liked the atmosphere.
I was in my young 20's, petite, with perfect fake tits, and a heart shaped booty that perfectly hung my apron strings, and brownish red hair.
I naturally have a people-pleasing kind of personality that can often be judged as flirtatious. I'm the waitress who skips on my way to greet you and does a little twirl while I bring you a refill.
We weren't the busiest place in town, unless it was a holiday or a Sunday. It was a buffet style restaurant and my job was pretty simple- greet the customers, get drinks, refills, pick up their plates as they empty them, and serve them with the sweetest version of myself.
On this particular day, I was given the bar section, which comes with some surrounding tables. The night was typical, a few regulars stopping by to have a drink with their "favorite red head", and a family with some annoying chaps.
I didn't know this night was about to change me.
When the front door opened and in walked 10 construction guys, I instantly started praying, "Please sit in my section. Please sit in my section."
Besides the fact that from afar they all looked pretty attractive, typically a big party means a big tip.
I watched as they all scoped out the place before one of them pointed to the bar and started walking my way.
As I stood behind the bar waiting for them to approach me, I smiled locking eyes with the guy who was walking ahead of the group.
We stayed locked into each other until he approached. There was an instant wild sensation that came over me, something that I wasn't to. At about 5'8, his body moved like a sculpture, his arm muscles looked like they were breaking through his dirty work shirt. He had no hair on his face, or head...which made me wonder if he had hair anywhere else.
As they got closer, I gave the basic greeting, "hey guys! It's nice to see some news faces in here. What can I get you to drink?"
He stood there for a moment and just stared at me with a curious grin and said, "Looks like I came to the right spot."
"I'd like to think so", I replied.
Some of the guys ordered beer while two of the other guys pushed four tables together right next to the bar.
I walked to their table and gave the guys the spill on how the restaurant works, "and if you need anything at all, please let me know. I want to make you guys happy."
I walked back behind the bar and acted like I was working but was preoccupied. I tried not to look at the guy who was making me feel like a giddy schoolgirl, I'm not one to gets easily flustered or find people attractive.
It was a pretty normal exchange in conversation while they were all there. I found out they were in town for a few weeks to complete a construction project and the guy that caught my attention was named Alex.
One by one they left but two stayed behind, Alex and Chase.
They moved to the bar and we chatted about things to do in the area, restaurants, and details about their job while in town.
I was happy to learn that the face in front of me might not be a one time shop, I thought maybe he could become a temporary regular.
As he sat at the bar, I could feel his eyes on me while I worked. Every so often I would look his way and catch him in the act with resulted in hot tension.
It was near the end of the night, Alex was my only customer and it was time to a break. With the short rush we got and not wanting to leave the dining room, I hadn't taken a break. Nicotine was calling my name.
I walked behind the bar to where he was sitting to let him know I would be taking a break and if he needed anything to let Janet know.
"Would you happen to be going outside for a smoke break?" he asked.
"Actually yes, I haven't taken a break all day. But, if you don't like the smell, I can totally wait."
He stood from his chair, "mind if I join you"
Surprised by his response, my body grew hot. Everything in me told me to say no, but my panties told me yes.
I was at work after all, it's not like anything inappropriate would happen. It was just an innocent flirtation with a customer...maybe ill get a bigger tip?
"Sure." I told him.
"Let me grab my things and you can follow me out back."
As we walked through the party room to go through the back entrance, I realized we were about to be alone. The door opened to a back alleyway with a field where the trucks would come for drop offs. It was right off a side road that led to a main busy highway. It was a busy street, but cars would pass by.
When we got outside, I lit my cigarette as he stood in front me just watching.
"You know, I'm expecting a good tip with you staying this long." I said to him.
He chuckled and said, "don't worry, I'll leave more than my crew."
I instantly got excited, they left me $100.
"So, are you married?" he bluntly asked.
"Um, yes I am. Well, kind of. We're on a break, but we're still living together. Honestly, I'm not really sure."
I realized I sounded like a complete idiot. And kicking myself for not just saying yes or lying and saying no.
I stopped myself and said to him, "I'm sorry. My marriage is a rocky topic for me right now and obviously that is the last thing you want to hear."
"Do you still fuck him?" Alex asked as took a step closer.
I didn't know how to feel. Part of me was extremely turned on but the other part knew that even continuing to entertain this conversation would be inappropriate on so many levels. I took a step to the side, giving myself a little more space between him.
"It's been a while," I replied.
"Hmm. That's unfortunate." He said as the leaded against the brick building.
I puffed on my cigarette not knowing how to respond.
"It's has to be torture for a guy to have someone look the way you do walking around the house and not touch you."
I smiled and broke eye contact with him to hit my cigarette again. As I blew the smoke out I said, "I honestly don't even know how to respond to that but I'll take it as a compliment, thank you."
