I bartended at Skipper's on Wednesdays and Fridays. My day job paid the bills, but it brought in some extra and play money, plus the crowd was always bustling due to the specials and promotions Chuck ran all the time. Wednesdays were my favorite, however, because they were a little less crazy, and after the Texas Hold Em tournament cleared out around 9:30-ish, things quieted down enough to not run like crazy but still make some money.
I had just reached down to one of the shelves to grab the cherries so I could refill the bar dispenser, when I heard the familiar sweet purr of her voice say "Mich Ultra, babe." I quickly stood up, grabbed a pint glass, poured from the tap, and set it down in front of Rebecca, as she gave me a sweet, slightly sultry smile. A semi-regular here a couple nights a week, she was one of the few customers I truly didn't mind calling me by a pet name--whether she meant anything by it or not, I liked her enough to not care about the mild flirting. I grabbed the three singles she had set down, hit the register, and pulled out a quarter, bouncing it off the mirror into the tip bucket. "Nice!" she called out enthusiastically. "Now, where..." she asked, indicating herself.
I liked this game, especially since she'd been upping the ante a bit without doing anything that would get me in trouble with Chuck. "I'm going to guess your waistband again." She looked me in the eye and shook her head from side to side, her big sapphire eyes fixed on mine.
"Alright, your hair?" Another head shake.
"Your, uh..." I indicated her cleavage, which had a decent few inches exposed in a flattering top tonight, although not necessarily filthy. She grinned, glanced down, and then reached her fingers in, and pulled out a folded dollar for me, smirking as she handed it over. I stifled a giggle and muttered lowly "You naughty girl."
"You have no idea," she bantered back, before giving me a wink and walking back over to the game she'd been watching. I found myself staring a bit as she walked away, as that curvy behind was definitely one that attracted attention in any pair of pants, and I had to quickly adjust myself as I had a faint bit of tightening in my undershorts.
I busied myself with the restocking I needed to do after the poker crowd hit. Still, I kept finding myself sneaking glances at her. She wasn't usually my type, but I had to admit that there was something damn sexy about her. She had a face reminiscent of Farrah Fawcett in her 40's except for a massive mane of thick red hair and a light dusting of freckles in a few different places, and I knew she had just hit 47, though she could have easily pulled off 32. About 5'5", she was curvy as hell, almost to the point where someone might have called her chunky, but I could see very little actual fat on her, except where it mattered most. Her tits were simply gigantic, as big as my head, and her ass was a beautiful round bubble that protruded in the most amazing way. Many of the older guys liked to hit on her, and she would humor them, but never seemed that interested. Chuck said once that she'd kicked her hubby out for cheating years back and had never really settled down since, and I knew they dated for a few months a couple years back, remaining friends, but never really pried beyond that.
I saw a couple guys approaching the bar out of my peripheral vision, so I shook my head to clear it, and got their order going.
The night ended pretty smoothly. Rebecca left after 4 beers, her usual upper limit, and while I'd had to refuse to serve one guy, he hadn't made a huge stink about it, just letting me call him a cab. I made about 250 bucks in tips after tipping the cook and giving some money to the doorman. I ended the night in the usual fashion, doing the till counts with Chuck. We always had an easy banter, despite him being well older than my dad and a slight redneck.
"Damn good night," he mused.
"Yeah, I like the low drama ones," I replied.
"Rebecca seemed friendly tonight."
"Kinda, yeah. She definitely likes to flirt."
"I think she mostly likes you," he batted back.
"You get that? I'm not sure, honestly. Sometimes it seems like it, and other times, I think she just enjoys toying with me."
"I dated her for 4 months, remember? I'm sure she loves toying with you, but I know that woman's M.O. when it comes to pursuit."
"Huh," I verbalized, not knowing how to answer.
"Trust me, if she throws it out there--and if I'm right, she will, soon--you'd do well not to turn her down. That woman will turn your world upside down in bed."
"That good?"
"Earth shattering. She's an oral queen, cums harder than anyone I've ever met, and she'll drain your balls dry then keep on going."
"Wow."
"I've been with literally hundreds of women between the military and being in the bar biz most of my life. She blows them all away."
"Okay. Then why'd you break up with her?"
"I couldn't keep up!" he protested, laughing. "I'm gonna be 63 next month, and look at me, I'm a pudgy bastard. That girl wanted it 3-4 times a day when I saw her. I was raw! Plus, I don't really need or want a steady woman in my life at this point."
I laughed and shook my head. "I'll take it under advisement. Truth be told, I'm still on the rebound and don't know if I'm ready."
"Whatshernameagain, Kaitlyn?"
"Kaylee."
"Yeah, the ripped blonde gal."
"That's her."
"Young girls don't know what they want yet, my friend. Don't take it personal, and don't waste too much time wondering what should or might have been. There's a whole world out there, and you're still young enough to enjoy it for a few more years until settling down."
I nodded my head, and we finished the till, then closed out.
The alarm went off at 5:45. Despite the lack of sleep, I quickly threw on my workout clothes and busted ass to the gym.
Early mornings were my time, I just love the quiet. I blasted through my workout in a little over an hour and then ran behind the counter, quickly consulting my book of clients for the day. Thursdays were usually jam packed, thank god. Personal training really is a hustle business, and the owners of this gym loved me because I was good, willing to network, I looked the part thanks to my ridiculous workout regimen, and, as Rachel, the co-owner had pointed out, I had a "cute, young stud look" that seemed to drive the older Valley trophy wives nuts. I just had to get out the door and back to my apartment to shower, change clothes, and eat before Mrs. Sands at 8am. I ran towards the door, only to have my stomach drop as I saw Kaylee walking up. I breathed deeply, steeled myself, and went out into the parking lot, determined not to avoid this and have her realize I was trying to duck her.
