Chapter: 10
" You promised me you'd have a few drinks with me tonight so just for assurance purposes I'll just hold on to this." Tyler smirked and picked my phone up to tuck back it into the pocket of his jeans.
" That's no fair. I'm a woman of my word Mr. Farr I promised to have a drink or two with you and I will but you don't need to hold my phone for ransom." I pretend to pout.
I watched as he picked up his drink and lifted it to his lips. I didn't really understand why but the way the bottle rested on his bottom lip caught my attention and I couldn't help but stare. It wasn't until he moved the bottle and the corners of his lips turned up into a grin that I realized what I had been doing..
" You know you have your own if your that thirsty. " He said and I smiled shyly as I picked up a shot and tossed it back.
" Straight for the hard stuff huh? Damn that's my kinda girl." He laughed and followed my lead by taking his own.
I drank my beer and his had been empty for a little while so I took the empty glasses and bottles and put them back on the tray and slipped out of my seat.
" I'll be right back I'll go grab us another drink. Is there anything besides the beer that I can get ya?" I asked.
" Yeah a bottle of Patron, some limes, a salt shaker and two shot glasses." He smiled and I turned to walk down the stairs.
I walked down and tossed the empty bottles in the trash and the empty glasses in the dirty bin behind the counter. When I was done there I went over to where Jen was bent over the bar flirting with some guy who looked like a Jersey Shore reject and reached over her back for the bottle of Patron and placed it on the tray.
" Where are you taking the Tron?" Jen asked in a snotty tone.
" Not that it's any of your concern but I'm taking the "Pa"-tron with me on my break upstairs. Now move so I can reach the glasses and limes." I told her in a smart ass tone.
" You are supposed to serve that to the customers not guzzling it down yourself while hiding in a dark corner with some guy who obviously isn't your boyfriend." She snarled.
" Yeah just like you are supposed sale him alcohol instead of your thrift store discount body." I shot back.
" Thrift store discount?" The guy asked.
" Yeah it's just like the clothes they sale there. Almost every man in town has bought it tried it on and then tossed it out." I laughed.
" You bitch!" She yelled and slapped me across the face.
I flinched a little from the string and licked the blood from the corner of my lip. Without even thinking I pulled back and punched her in the mouth.
" Jerry to the bar now!" I heard Rusty yell.
In a flash Jerry was there with his arms around my waist pulling me way from her.
" What happened?" Rusty asked me.
" I took all I could take from that stupid whore Rust. I'm not sorry I hit her but I'm sorry I did it in front of our customers." I told her.
" Jen this has been a long time coming.. Get your shit and go.. You're fired. Jerry let Shelby go and take out the trash. " Rusty told her and turned to look at Jerry.
" I'm sorry Rust." I said and turned to get a small glass to put some limes in and the salt shaker.
" Is Tyler still up there?" She asked.
"Yeah and he is waiting on another drink." I told her reaching into the cooler for two beers.
" Go on up to him and I'll be up there in a minute with an ice pack for that hand. " She said shaking her head trying to hold back a smile.
" Yes ma'am" I told her and took the tray making my way through the crowd and up the stairs.
Once I made it back to the tale I sat the tray down and took my seat across from him. My lip still stung and my hand hurt like hell so I didn't wait for Tyler I grabbed a glass filled it and took it back repeating the action three times. After the fourth shot I balled my fist and licked the side between my thumb and pointer finger. I shook some salt on it poured another shot and reached with my hurt hand for a lime.
" Whoa darlin.. Slow down. What's wrong? What happened to your hand?" He asked taking the lime from me holding my hurt hand out to look at my knuckles.
"My girl here don't take no shit form folks. One of our lazy ass now ex waitresses was running her mouth and slapped her so she shut the bitch up." Rusty answered as I licked the salt off my hand stinging the hell out of my busted lip, took the shot, leaned in and took the lime Tyler was holding I'm his hand with my teeth and sucked the juice.
I took the juiced lime from my teeth with my free hand and put it on the tray flinching when Rusty put the ice on my hurt hand. I looked over and wasn't sure what it was.. just that Tyler was looking at me differently then he had been before but not in a bad way.
" Sorry your havin such a rough night Hun here I'll give this back now." He grinned taking my phone out of his pocket to slide it across the table. I took my hand back from Tyler and smiled when I saw Cole walking our way.
" Hey babe! You ready for a beer?" I asked standing up with mine in my hand.
"What happened to your hand baby?" He asked taking my beer from my hand and tipped it to his lips.
" I hit Jen. The stupid whore was running her mouth." I answered and looked back at Tyler who made a slight growling sound..
" Hey Tyler.. Are you performing here again tonight? I didn't see your setup downstairs." He asked.
" No I just came by to see the girls. But I better run I have a flight to catch early in the morning. " He answered.
" Well your welcome to come by anytime Tyler." Rusty told him.
" It was nice seeing you again Tyler. " I told him walking over to hug him.
" You to darlin. " He almost whispered in my ear and pulled away to leave.
