She walked into the bar and sat in the back corner.
Her gait was slow and easy
Her dark hair resting on her shoulders
Since the bar would be closing soon
The herd was thinning out.
About a dozen patrons, mostly couples.
Some making out in a back booth
One couple at the bar
His hand snaking between his ladies’ thighs
The bartender at the other end of the bar
Flirting with a male patron
She would twirl her cotton candy tresses and lean in close to the patron.
The quartet was playing “Turn the page” and doing a decent cover of it!
My main focus was our latest customer
The lithe and lovely doe-eyed beauty.
She would take sips of her beverage
And tap her slender finger on the table or run it over the rim of the glass.
I motioned to the server and told her to give the young lady a refill on me if she so desired it.
When the refill came the server pointed at me and the young lady raised her glass in my direction. I raised my glass too. Her too!
I let her be in her solitude as I sensed this is why she was here
A few minutes before the bar closed, she walked out. But not before stopping by my table and thanking me for the drink.
“Perhaps another night we shall see each other again and I can buy you a drink!”. She said with a slight nervous tremble in her soft voice!
“I would be honored!”. I replied
And with that, she was gone.
“Perhaps!” I muttered!
CHAPTER TWO:
The next Wednesday I found myself at the bar again at Eleven p.m. At Eleven fifty she came in and sat in the same place she did last week. She ordered the same drink. The server also brought me a refill courtesy of my dark-haired beauty She waved me over and I went over to her.
I thanked her for the drink, and I motioned to the chair next to her.
She nodded.
I sat down and asked her how she found this place and why so late at night.
She explained that she had been there with her husband a few times and she liked It and suffered from insomnia. Walking to the bar was good exercise and helped her relax as did the alcohol!
I nodded and she asked me why I was there.
I told her I was getting off my shift and I needed to unwind.
She asked me what I did for work if I didn’t mind telling her. I told her and I asked her the same question.
She explained she was a Senior Manager of a local firm. The job sucked and she was bored. But the pay was great, and she could work from home when needed.
We chatted some more without imposing on each other’s space. We didn’t exchange names, she wanted to keep it that way. I respected that!
Suddenly the band started to play a nice rocker and she asked me to dance. We stepped to the floor and danced like two hyenas in heat.
The song finished the band started to play a slow song. The other couples dancing got in close holding hands.
She looked at me and I blushed. She reached out and took my hand I pulled her in close as Gomez Addams did with Morticia.
She leaned into my shoulders and just swayed to the music.
When it was done, we went back to the table.
“Thank You Sir!” she said demurely. She squeezed my hand
“I best get home before this girl turns into a frump!” She said with a laugh.
“A frump, I doubt it Little one!” I said to her. Where little one came from, I don’t know.
She stood and I did too.
“See you next week Sir!” She said as she leaned over and gave me a small peek on the cheek, and like last week Poof, she was gone.
CHAPTER THREE:
The week went by quickly and was boring. Wednesday was there before I knew it. I was sitting at her table when she came in. She came over and smiled and gave me a small peek on the cheek.
“I took the liberty and order you, your usual. ” I told her.
She patted my hand and thanked me.
We asked each other how our week went. And she said, “Same shit different week Sir” “And yours please Sir?” She asked.
“Like Yours little one!” I told her.
I said to her. “Look we need to have names instead of this Sir and Little one lingo!”
She was hesitant but I told her I had a name for her.
“What is it?” She asked, her head titled to one side.
“Keiko,” I said
“Keiko?” She looked puzzled.
“Keiko O Brien was a character on Deep space nine and you remind me of her,” I said.
She took her phone out of her purse and looked her up. She’s prettier than me!” She said.
“Nope, you are just a pretty Keiko! “I told her.
She blushed.
She sat quietly for a few minutes and then she told me her name for me
“Myles and I think you know why!” She said.
I nodded knowing it was in reference to Keiko’s husband Myles O Brien,
“I get it, Keiko!” I said
We had a good laugh but for the rest of the night, we were Myles and Keiko. Two peas in a pod.
We danced, we drank, we learned each other’s likes and dislikes. In the end when it was time for Keiko to leave the ball. She kissed my cheek again
All of a sudden, a clap of thunder shook the building and lightning lit up the night sky. It began to pour outside.
“Oh, I guess I will have to wait for it to clear?” She said.
The bartender mentioned that the storm was going to be around till early morning.
I offered to drive Keiko home.
At first, she was hesitant, but she did need to get home and get some shuteye before the kids woke up and morning meetings.
We ran to my car, and I drove her home. Another quick peek on the cheek and “See you for our date next week.”
And as usual, my Cinderella was gone.
That whole week I wasn’t much good at work. I had a case of Keiko. I was in a bit of a quandary. Sure, I enjoyed the chats, dancing, and the peck on the cheek. But I did the “What If scenario”
What if we went further and slept together?
I shook my head and put it out of my mind. I valued Keiko’s friendship more.
It was soon time for our Wednesday night wingding. She didn’t show up and I was worried
The bartender relayed a message from Keiko. She was sorry but the family business took over. I was sad but glad she at least called to let me know.
The bartender handed me a free round before the place closed down.
I went home and slept soundly, dreaming Keiko
I woke up refreshed and went to work. Ho Hum week.
CHAPTER FOUR:
I took a chance and went Wednesday night. And there was Keiko in our usual spot. She was all dressed up. She looked great. An emerald, green slinky dress, and matching heels.. Her black hair pulled back in a French braid.
I knew my jaw dropped and the rest of the males were the same.
“You look stunning Keiko.” i said to her.
She smiled and kissed me full on the lips.
“I am sorry about last week, but something came up with my parents I hope you understand. “She said.
I told her I did, and she kissed me once more
We did a couple of slow dances and she suggested we leave.
“I! I!.” Stammering like a fool.
She smiled and told me she understood if I didn’t want to.
I got my shit together and I took her hand and we left the bar.
CHAPTER FIVE:
Keiko was standing at the full-length mirror in my bedroom, she was brushing her hair and I was admiring her naked body from my bed.
I caught her looking at me looking at her and admiring her heart-shaped ass and lovely breasts, topped off by erect nipples.
Her white skin glowing from the afterglow.
