Randy gave a sigh of relief as the timeclock beeped the confirmation that his punch had been accepted and that he was free from the drudgery of work until Monday morning. He headed out of the office as quick as his feet could carry him and as he got his car, he was trying to decide what he wanted to do that night.
His first thought was to grab a pizza and a six pack of beer and spend the evening catching up on his favorite show. As he eased his car out of the parking lot and into traffic a different idea found its way into Randy's head. It occurred to him that it had been ages since he had stopped off at Joe's Tavern for a drink after work. For a few minutes as he sat in traffic Randy found himself trying to decide if he wanted to stop off for a drink at Joe's or head straight to the pizza parlor to get a pizza to carry home. A glance at the clock and the traffic that was quickly turning into gridlock helped Randy make up his mind. At the next intersection he made a quick right and after a few more blocks found himself outside of Joe's Tavern.
Randy made his way inside and was pleased to find it not too crowded yet. He made his way to the bar and ordered a beer. He picked up the glass and took a couple of nice long swallows allowing the cool liquid to cool and refresh him before looking up at the TV that was playing ESPN.
As he sipped his beer and listened to ESPN Randy was content that he had made the right decision. This was much better than sitting in traffic and he could still grab a pizza a bit later once the traffic eased up.
Randy finished one beer and had started on a second one and was continuing to listen to ESPN when he heard a female voice beside him.
"Hi. Is this seat taken?" she said.
Randy turned and had to control himself to keep his jaw from hitting the floor. He was face to face with a gorgeous woman with long brown hair and curves in all the right places. She was wearing a tight white tank top that showed a good two or three inches of skin at the bottom showing off her flat tummy and was sheer enough to show off the lacy white bra she had on underneath. Dark blue jeans that looked painted on and did nothing to conceal her nice curvy hips and black cowboy boots completed the look. Randy was suddenly reminded of those old cartoons where the character sees a gorgeous woman and his eyes start shooting hearts.
"I guess it is now." Randy said sheepishly and the woman sat down.
"I'm Mandy by the way." she said smiling at him as she sat down.
"Randy." he said as he extended his hand. She shook his hand, and he felt butterflies in his stomach that he hadn't felt in a long time.
"Randy and Mandy." she said with a cute smile. "That's a cute dynamic don't you think?"
"You want something?" Randy asked in response to the obvious flirting.
"A brandy if you don't mind." she said.
Randy signaled for the bartender and asked for a brandy and his beer to be topped up.
Randy watched as Mandy took a sip of her brandy and quickly learned the drinking brandy can be sexy. She then set the glass down on the bar and looked over at Randy and said,
"So, what brings you here tonight?"
Randy took a swallow of his beer before saying, "Just killing some time until the traffic dies down. What about you?"
