How A Gardener Changed My Life As A Bartender

1- ʍɑɾíյɑ -1

I remember that day, that hot, summer day in 1954, I walked into that awfully large casino, full of people gambling, winning money becoming rich, this was the day I got my job.

I walked in, smelling the extreme scent of alcohol filling my nose as the air swelled around me. I walked in, looking around as it excites me, since this is the first time i have been in a casino. I walked up to the bar table, the smell of alcohol getting stronger, I held in my gags then noticed the young bartender walked up to me, he looked about a year younger than me, meaning he would be 21, since im 22. He was right in front of me, with his voice laced with silk, he said.

"Hey sweetcheeks!" He chuckled, a toothy grin covering his face. "What would'ya like to drink today sweetie?"

I sighed and looked around then looked at his clover-green eyes that sparkeled in the bright lights.

"Just give me the best thing you got here, i havent ever really had a drink before, so hit me up!" I smiled, I noticed him looking at my small smile.

"I see. You may fit as a good bartender to me," He said, as he started making something in a silver cup. "How about soon, I ask my boss if you would fit as a wonderful bartender! I could go back to playing music for the casino again and you could work here, well after you learn everything and you can do it on your own." I looked at his gentle features as he spoke to me, his sweet plump lips that moved to smoothly as he spoke, the hair on his chin that looks like he has just started trying to grow a beard, and his  green hair that looked like he barely brushed his hair. He still looked handsome, wait, I had just met this man and im already falling in love with this man, I shook my head and heard a smal 'woah!' as I looked over to my right and saw the man next to me with two glasses with an unknown substance. I looked up at him and saw his confused face.

"Dont worry darlin', its safe to drink!" He chuckled. I admired his tiny chuckles here and there.

"Hey, ya doin' 'kay dear? Your face looks really much like a tomato that my mom grew in her garden!" I blushed harder, realizing i was blushing while thinking about him!

"Y-Yes, Yes im 'kay" I chuckled. "How about lets make a toast for tonight, to new friends!" I smiled. We clinked our glasses together and took a big gulp. I cringed at the new taste, but before i was able to take another gulp. I heard the man's yell call out saying 'boss!'. Then I heard shoes click torwards us, apparently it was the casino boss.

"So, Francesco, i see you have met a girl~" His raspy voice called out as i blushed at his comment.

"So, your name is Francesco?" I smirked as he blushed. I let out a small chuckle.

"Yes ma'am, thats my name, what about yours?" He smiled at me lightly.

"My name is Marija, Marija Clarke." I grinned as I saw them look at me then look at each other and smile.

"Well Marija, you think you can be good with drinks? Big ol' Francesco can teach you the basics for being a bartender!" The boss looked at me then Francesco, who was looking away, blushing lightly. I chuckled lightly,

"I could try to do this job..." I could see Francesco's eyes light up as he was happy to know that I would be working with him.

"Francesco, go and show tha young gal your room and show her the new uniform for her."

"W-wait," I paused, stuttering. "Im gonna share a bed with him?"

"Yes, now go Francesco and show her the way to the room."

I was red as a tomato as I felt his soft hand hold mine as he walked me to 'our' room. We walked into the room, which had creamy purple walls and a deep royal purple bed with velvet sheets. I looked over to see Fransesco going through the closet in the room then pulled out a green and blue dress that had a black belt around the waist. He handed me the dress and showed me the way to the bathroom.

I came out of the small bathroom, looking at Franscesco as he looked at me in awe.

"You look so amazing I could just kiss you right now." He looked away, blushing.

"W-well, you could right now if you wanted to." I stopped, realizing what I had just said. Next thing I knew, I felt his plump lips on mine and his hands on my hips. My mind was going crazy knowing that the guy I had developing a crush on was now kissing me. I kissed back, placing my hands in his clover green hair that felt so smooth. We separated a minute later due to that shitty thing they call oxegyn. He told me that it was getting pretty late so I should go and change into my bed clothes and get ready for bed.

After I had changed i had walked out to the that the light was out and that Francesco was laying in bed and had a comfy spot for me to lay down, I layed down next to him, cuddling in his warmth. Before I fell asleep in his arms, I heard a slight 'I love you' come from his lips. I smiled and drifted off to sleep hping that tomorrow would be a good first day as a bartender.
