Becoming a stripper or taking part in what most people would term as 'prostitution' was never my dream. Becoming a hooked drug addict was never part of my future plans either. I had always been another normal ambitious teenager with a dream to have...
"Hey b-baby girl get m-me a...a em... G-get me uh...one more a them... them vod-vodka whiskey thingy" Winston a regular at this bar slurred drunkenly.
"Winston you're drunk off your ass. It's time to cut you off now" I said to him. "I'm gonna call you a cab, its time to go home".
"No baby girl, that's the vely...very last place wannabe... Just need a drink, please just o-one more and I go...I'll be out of you-r hair" he slurred once again.
"No, I think you've had enough drink for tonight l I said as I pulled out my phone from my shorts pocket. "I'm calling you a taxi"
After calling a cab for Winston I turned to him. Telling him not to move until it gets here. He sat there rambling about how I wasn't his baby girl anymore if I didn't give him another drink. I couldn't help but chuckle at his antics until the cab came. There was no way I was giving an already drunk man more alcohol. After Katie and I switched places and I went to serve a few more customers for about half an hour, we switched roles again as I took over as the bar tender and she the waitress once again. A guy came up to the counter and sat on the stool, I was drying a glass at the time when he spoke up.
"Can I have a beer please"the guy said to me.
"Sorry about that" I said as I put down the glass and towel and turn to him. "Sure thing. Hot or cold?"
"Cold" he responded.
"Coming right up" I said as I reached for the beer and place it on the counter in front of him and got the opener. "Here you go"
"Thanks" the guy replied pushing a wad of cash towards me.
"Its just $3 this is a bit too much" I said pushing back the rest to him.
"Its a tip, keep it" the guy smile at me.
"Uh I don't know, that's a bit too much to take" I said to him.
"That's nonsense, a tip can never be too much" he smiled at me. "I'm not taking it back so you better keep it"
"You're feeling quite cashy tonight huh?" I joked.
"Yeah as always" he chuckled. "I'm always feeling cashy"
"Oh yeah?" I laughed. "Well I'm sorry, my bad assuming, you're only feeling that way tonight".

"I love your laugh" the guy said to me. "It's refreshing"
"Uh thanks" I said looking down with a smile suddenly feeling shy from the look he was giving me.
