Author's note: This installment starts a little slow because I am setting up some situations for future installments and possibly a set of separate, but related, stories. Bear with me and you'll be rewarded by the end. You should also know that there is a brief male mutual masturbation scene in this installment. If that bothers you then skip over the shower scene, or just skip this installment completely. And since you've been warned I'd appreciate you keeping negative opinions out of the comments. No kidding, you've been warned so if you read it and get upset it's your fault

I took my time getting dressed. I didn't have to meet Andrea until 3 pm but I thought I'd have lunch at the pub and get some paperwork done. I left home at about 11 and made the short walk. When I entered there were already several patrons lining the bar and scattered around the room having lunch and a pint. Hannah, the hostess greeted me.
"Good morning Ms. Foley. What brings you here so early on a Sunday?"
"Please Hannah, you know you can call me Gina. I'm going to get some paperwork done and have a bite, then I'm meeting a friend."
"Yes, of course, Gina. I apologize, my last boss always demanded we call him Mr. Drake. I'm still getting used to the casual atmosphere here."
"Well, Hannah, here we are family and we use first names. If I ever use your full name, things probably won't be going well for you."
"You know my full name?"
"Hannah Kiara Bradigan, of course! It means a graceful woman with beautiful dark hair. Your parents chose an appropriate name. I've always admired your long brown hair, and you take such good care of it. You do move around the place with such grace, almost like you are floating."
A look of shock, mixed with a flush of embarrassment, came over Hannah's face. "Thank you, Ms. F... Gina! I try my best."
"You're doing a very good job here Hannah, I hope you're with me for a long time. If any of my competition tries to steal you away, then you come to me and we'll talk."
"Oh, I don't think there will be any issue there. I have friends that work at other restaurants in town. They're all jealous of me for having a job here."
"I'm happy to hear that! Now, changing subjects, do you remember my friend Andrea? The gorgeous blonde that dresses so well?"
"Oh yes, I know who she is. Is she the one that you are meeting?"
"She is, I'm expecting her around 3 pm today. When she arrives please seat her at my table, get her whatever she wants to drink, and then come find me."
"Yes Gina," she said with a smile.
"And Hannah? Please have one of the servers bring me a Shepherd's Pie and a pint of Smithwick's. I'll be in my office."
"Right away!"
I went up the front stairs and then to the back of the building where the office and storeroom are located. I dug into the pile of invoices and reports that the staff and my manager, Nicolas, had assembled for me. Soon, Ava brought my lunch and I spent the next hours going through the papers and signing off on invoices so they could be paid. Before I knew it, Hannah let me know that Andrea had arrived. I told her to tell her I'd be down as soon as I finished.
I made my way downstairs after wrapping up my work and found Andrea sipping a glass of wine at my table. The lunch rush was over and the evening rush would start soon. Tonight we had a trio playing music and they were just arriving. Soon the room would come alive, it was my favorite time to be here and watch it happen. Right this moment it's the calm before the storm.
"Welcome, Andrea!" I said as I hugged her and we air-kissed.
"Good to see you, Gina," she smiled, then looked around, "I love the atmosphere of this place."
"Good, that's what we strive for. Hopefully, you enjoy the food, and the drink," I said, looking at her glass of wine.
"Oh my, yes," she said as she raised the glass to her lips and finished the small amount left.
She was all dolled up today. Her hair was in a loose bun with strands and bangs framing her face. Her lips were pink and glossy. She wore a short dress that looked like one of these paintings where the artist pours the paint onto the canvas, and she had shoes to match.
I waved to Ava and pointed at Andrea's wine and held up two fingers. In no time we each had a glass in front of us.
"I'm excited but a bit nervous," admitted Andrea.
"Don't worry, I've selected three gentlemen to vie for your attention. There's nothing like having several men competing for you, and all you have to do is narrow the field of competitors."
"You make it sound so easy, but I'm nervous about this. What if they don't like me?"
"They don't have to like you, Andrea," I scolded her, "They just have to want to fuck you. Trust me, they'll all want a piece of Ann when they see you in person."
"In person? What did you do, show them pictures of me?" She asked nervously.
"Of course, I had to make sure they showed up this afternoon. I told them they'd have an opportunity to meet you and if they impressed you enough then one of them might take you home."
"Oh my god, Gina, You told them I'm here looking for a man to fuck me?" She sounded horrified.
"Aren't we all always looking for a man to fuck us? Don't be a prude Andrea. Besides, this way they'll be trying to impress you and will be on their best behavior. Just relax, spend some time with each of them, and if you want to go home with one then just tell him."
"I'm so embarrassed," she groaned.
"Well, perk up dear, here's our first contestant," I said as I saw Sean approaching.
