We walked inside the Chin Tiki and immediately the smell of cigarette's and weed hits me like a wall. It's not that bad though, I kinda like the smell reminds me of Jimmy and the guys somehow.
"Hey I'm gonna grab a drink at the bar can you guys fine a table near by?" I say turning to our group. They all mumble "yeah's" and "okay's." So I make my way through the sweaty crowd of dancers. Now where the hell is the bar? Found it! Yes! Liquor time.
I dunno what I'm feeling tonight. Either option a - get fucked real fast. Or b - a gradual incline of fucked-up-ness. Shit I see Wink, handing out flyers near me. Screw it if I'm gonna be trapped with Wink tonight I'm not doing it sober - option a I guess. I haven't eaten since lunch either so I'm gonna be flying tonight.
I go to sit at an empty seat at the bar and wait for the bartender. Hopefully he's fast so I don't have to deal with the handsy dudes strolling around.
"Hey what can I getcha?" I turn to see the bartender. Guy looks sweet - dark skin, glasses, beard and a smile missing teeth.
"Hey, could I please get 4 shots of vodka? Thank you." I smile to the guy, pulling out my wallet. I look up and he's already pouring them. Okay no going back now. Guess I'm gonna be "Trashed Tessie" tonight.
I smile to him "Thank you sir." I forget what the proper bar mannerism is but I don't care anymore.
"'Fo 'sho. This all for you? No sharing?" He chuckles to me, with a raised eyebrow. I turn around and give the Chin Tiki a once over. I see Wink and people from my high school days.
"Yeah, I'm gonna need it for tonight!" I laugh, taking all the shots fast.
JESUS! AH FUCK. I forgot that about that burning feeling. Ah toughen up Tessie there's gonna be more later tonight. I cough a little and stick out my tongue with a grossed out face.
"A'ight well you enjoy and be careful tonight." The bartender laughs at me. I smile back at him.
"Don't worry you'll be seeing a lot more from me." I send a wink and hop off the stool saying goodbye.
Shit there's Wink again. Can he just leave please he's ruining my mood and I haven't even spoken to him yet. Shit we made eye contact. Okay fuck. If I calmly speed walk far away he'll piss off. Fuck I can't tell if he's still behind me. OW. I'm met with a leather jacket to the face. Great now I bumped into someone.
"Yo! Watch it bitch!" I look up at the voice. WHO THE HELL IS CALLING ME A BITCH?! Wait! Is that Amy? Oh false alert I'm not gonna get into a bar fight. It's just my friend Amy from work.
Yes! Another girl, now I won't be dealing with a bunch of testosterone tonight. Thank goodness.
"AMY!!" I yell laughing at the girl. "You calling me a bitch really?" I pretend to look hurt, but the both of us just start giggling and go in for a hug.
"Hey girl! How you doin'?!" She asks me pulling out from our hug.
"Good! Just tryna' get drunk tonight. What about you?" I reply.
"Nothin much just here with people from my Friday job."
We both go on about work and laughing over nonsense, when I hear my song come on - "Regulate" by Warren G and Nate Dogg. I've loved this song since it came out last year listening to it with Jimmy. He ended up recording the tape for me and giving it to me for my 21st. I listen to it all the time now.
"It was a clear black night, a clear white moon
Warren G was on the streets tryin' to consume
Some skirts for the eve so I can get some funk
Rollin' in my ride, chillin' all alone
