"Get back to work Johnson!" screamed Mr.Howard
"Go screw yourself Howard!" shouted Deanna over the mass of people and loud music.
"I'm sick of that bastard Amelia he going to get it one day." said Deanna closing her eyes maybe thinking of all the ways she could kill him.
Laughing i continued serving the men on my side of the bar. The men were already raging drunk but Mr.Howard ordered us to keep the money and drinks flowing or get fired.
"You should really stop pushing him De we both need this job"
"I do need this job but i certainly don't need his stink attitude."she says rolling her eyes so far back i thought she was died.
"This job stinks anyways the pay isn't enough,the place stinks of drunks all the damn time, the men here can't take a no,the music is garbage, the place is always so damn full, also lets not forget that Mr.Howard is a pain in the ass." she says serving people stopping every once in a while to roll her eyes.
"Yes you've got a point this is a shitty job and i am at my last string with it, but i need it."
she sucks her teeth; hugs me and says "Only because of you"
Laughing i hug her back and noticed there was a new comer with his head down at the bar,pasting on a smile i went to him.
"I'm going to the bathroom cover for me" De said leaving me to the sharks
"what'll it be?" i asked the new comer.I couldn't see his face but he was dressed in a huge black coat with a dirty baseball cap. He lift his head and that's when i noticed that he was an old man with many wrinkles designing he face. His eyes were blood shot and his eyes could barely stay open, his finger raddled on bar top as he kept looking all around. Noticing me a moment later his eyes flashed and he had a sluggish smile engraved in his face.
"well well honey I'll like one of you on a plate" He said slurring his words.
"Sir what would you like to drink i haven't got all night" at that very moment all the other viscous men i had to serve started slamming their cups against the bar calling me in the rudest way possible.
"come now don't be like that" seeing that this man wasn't prepared to order i started to leave in disgust. He violently slammed his fist on the bar before he reached and brutally grabbed my arm. Pulling me towards him my waist slammed against the bar's wooden top. Hissing in pain i pulled away from him only to be pulled back much more brutally.
We now had the attention of the whole bar. And these barbaric men made it a point to all slam their cups and fist against any surface around them and watch the abuse happening in front of them all cheering.
"Come now sweetie I've got all night lets do this the easy way" he whispered in his sluggish smile with his breath reeking of alcohol. Staring into his eyes i jerked my free hand back and punched him in the face as hard as i could. He stumbled back but still held my arm in its death like grip. he crowd went wild with rage and curses.
" You little bitch, oh I'm going to enjoy you." he said laughing wiping the blood i had drawn from his lip.
taking that moment i grabbed a glass cup and slammed it against the arm that was hold me.
"shit!" he screamed. i retrieved my arm and slap the sleazebag with all the force within me. The barbarians seem to roar to life at that moment anticipating on the next move.
I had to deal with men like him most of my life he didn't scare me. Smiling at my damage i grabbed the broom next me and said " leave". the cups seem to clash against their surface much harder and the screams louder than ever.
"Feisty aren't we, Wait until i get my hands on you you're going to wish you didn't do that honey"
"I'm not your honey now please leave" i say clenching the broom much tighter than i already was.
Thrusting back his right hand he thew a punch at me, which i gracefully moved away from. the men voices rang in my ears and the room seem to close in on me.
Loading another punch he drew back and stopped when a deep voice said
"I would do that if i was you" the crowd was silent at that moment, everyone searched for the brave intruder.
the guy that stood up for me dressed in jeans and a plaid dress shirt and what looked like a cowboy hat that hid his face.
"Leave the lady alone"he said calmly standing up, shining like a knight.
"Why don't you go back to dreaming about horses cowboy"
"why don't you try this punch on for size" he said before punch him in the face.
That set all hell loose. That one punch seem to unleash a mob of venom filled barbarians out for blood.
I ran to the back and waited for things to calm down.
