A peek of what I want the bar to look like. Blue Nile Sports bar.

It was April 24, 2014, when I saw him as he walked into The Blue Nile Sports bar, a fun place with a nice crowd. Now I've seen him a few times before, and we spoke maybe once or twice but tonight was different, maybe it was the clothes he has on, or the smell of his cologne as it hit my nose as he was coming in, but he was turning me on and I liked it. He's about 6'2, brown skin, curly short dark brown hair, and green eyes. He always has on a suit that fits his toned body very well.

I was looking at his full lips move as he's talking to some other guys that were coming in with him, wanting to touch his arms that look strong through his button up shirt; boy was he making me very horny. I was licking my lips as I was looking him up and down, thinking to myself this man is sexy as hell, I don't know if it's the lack of sex or the fact that I'm single now, but his sex appeal was on point. Our eyes caught each other, or he caught me looking at him, I smiled and said, "Hello welcome to the Blue Nile", as he and his friends sat down at the end of the bar.

"Lea", I heard Lisa say and I said "what's up", as I walked up to my beautiful bartender, who is about 5'6- 5'7, a Carmel skin, big beautiful brown eyes, her hair is cut into a nice short style that fits her face well, and she is proportion nicely, kind of look like Halle Berry just thicker.

Lisa asked me "can you get some ice, because we are running out".

I told her "sure thing, I'll tell Matt to bring you a couple a few bags", Lisa told me "thanks" as she walked away to help the gentleman and his friends

Matt was the only male server in here and the ladies loved him, he was a young guy mixed with African and Puerto Rican, with a strong accent, light skinned, tall, and very nice to looking, he had his regulars that would come in just to gaze and flirt with him. I asked Matt if he would take Lisa a few of bags of Ice, and gave him the key, as I reminded him to not forget to bring them back to me when he finishes, since he always seem to forget, as I handed him the keys.

Matt said, "I won't forget this time boss lady", as he smiled and went towards the back for the ice.

I was happy to be heading out for the night, ready to go pop my feet up and relax, I had been here since 9:30am and it was 12:30am. Damn I almost forgot that didn't have a place to live, my ex and I broke up and I finally decided to move out. I had been living in my office and friends here and there for the past two months. I was determined that I would not sleep on another couch, if it killed me. So, I sat at the bar, asked for a double shot of Crown and a small glass of pineapple juice.

I couldn't keep my eyes off this man, all I was thinking about was his beautiful lips kissing on my neck as I rode his lap, Mmmmm I could feel myself getting wet by the minute, damn.
Lisa came over with my drink and asked if I wanted to come over to her house again tonight?

I said "no, thank you, I'm going to get me a room, I want a big comfy bed to sleep on, no, offense to your pullout couch", with a smile, "and plus how do I look like staying with my employee", looking at her with a smirk.

Lisa was my best friend as well as my best bartender, she hated when I called her that.

"Oh I'm just your employee", she said as she shrugged her shoulders and put her nose in the air.

I told her "you know that I'm just playing with you, but for real I want a bed to lay in a really big one".

"I know", she said and asked me where was I going to go?

"I didn't know", as I looked on hotels.com.

"Well that handsome man over there, that you can't seem to keep your eyes off, brought your drink, and just handed me a business card to put in the jar for a free meal, is a manager at a hotel".

"Oh wow, tell him thanks", as I raised my glass to him blushing hard now. He raised his glass, nodded and smiled. Damn this man is sexy as shit was my thought. I was not, or was it that obvious, I thought to myself, and looked at Lisa, but I didn't have to say anything.

Because Lisa seemed to know what I was thinking, and said "yes, you were staring at him ever since he walked in, I seen how you were looking him up and down, drooling and shit", laughing as she pushed my shoulder. "He is fine though, maybe I'll go tell him that you want his number", Lisa said with a devilish smile.

"No don't", knowing that she would all the while blushing. Matt walked up and said, "here's your keys, see I didn't forget", I didn't even look at him as he put the keys into my hand, and ran off to attend to his tables. I looked up the hotel on the card. It was very nice with reasonable prices.

I went ahead and booked a room for two weeks, just so I have somewhere to go as I figure out my next move. Lisa asked me if I looked at the hotel, and I told her "yes, it was very nice, and the price is reasonable, and it's not far from here, so that's a bonus".

"And plus, some eye candy for you too", Lisa said laughing and pouring me another double shot of Crown.

"Funny are we, you got everything you need to close tonight I asked her", she told me "yes moms, go and get you some much needed rest, and I will see you in a few days".

I finished my drink, gave her a hug and walked away. As I walked towards the door the hotel manager and his friends were leaving as well, he gave me a smile and held the door open for me and said, "ladies first".

"Thank you", I said smiling while looking him in them beautiful eyes, that is hypnotizing me, but I couldn't look away, then someone saved me and said my name. "Lea", I turned my head towards the parking lot to see my ex, not the saving I wanted ugh. She was standing next to my car with some boxes. I turned back trying to see where he went, but I didn't see him, so I turned back to her and said, "What's up Amie".

Amie is my ex, a very beautiful dark-skinned woman with long curly black hair, she stands about 5'10 and a half. She said "here are more of your things" as I unlocked my baby a green 2012 Jaguar XL for her to put them in the back seat.

"So where are you sleeping tonight, at another boo thing's house", Amie said.

"No, I said that's you with the boo things, I got a room till I find a place. Don't you supposed to be at home with yours"?

"Funny Lea, matter of fact we about to go out to of town to the mountains for a little vacation and I wanted to bring you, your things".

"Ok thanks, and you are still here because"? Looking at her as she grabbed my hips when she walked closer to me.

"You know you want me back", she said as she rubbed up against me kissing my neck and ears, then moved to my mouth biting my lip, saying "I know how you liked me to do that to you". She knew just how to make me melt, damn why she got to be so fucking sexy, I thought as I pushed her away.

"No, I don't want you, that's why you over here kissing on me, remember you cheated on me not the other way around". I got into the car, closed the door, pulled off and left her standing there. Why must she do this to me, she knows I kind of care for her still with her fine ass. She just pissed me off. I went into my ashtray and pulled the half of blunt out that I had and lit it, took a big ass pull to relax my mind,

Took a second puff and the manger popped into my head, realizing that I didn't even look to see what his name was, just the hotel name. Shook my head, how can I be so dumb. I didn't want to call Lisa and ask her, I could hear her now talking shit, and plus I'll find it out, since I will be there for two weeks. I pulled up to the hotel got a couple of bags out, and was hoping I didn't smell like weed, so I sprayed a little perfume on and walked kind of slow to the front door.
