This is a story that took place several years ago when I was in the Marine Corps stationed in Hawaii. The names of the people involved have been changed to protect their identities, but the events are true.
We had just returned to Kaneohe Bay from a seven-month pump to Okinawa. As one can imagine, seven months without companionship proves to be a long time. All of the married guys in my unit couldn't wait to return to their wives, and all of the attached guys were hoping their girlfriends were still waiting without surprises. I was known as Sgt. Smith at the time. Back then, mostly everyone addressed each other by last name only, so you will see it that way in the dialogue.
The advanced party touched down about a month before we did and secured our new living quarters and battalion HQ. I was a Sgt., so I resided in the newly acquired NCO barracks. There weren't many perks for single guys, but being a single Sgt. at least meant that you rated your own barracks room. This allowed for some privacy, but not much. All the squad leaders in my platoon were single also, so we couldn't wait to get back and take in the Hawaiian night life.
Johnson, Jones, Beck, Taylor and I all decided that we were going to do it up big that first night back. The plan was to cookout in the afternoon while having a few drinks and then head to Moose's. Every Marine stationed in Hawaii in the early 90's knew where Moose McGillycuddy's was in Honolulu. If they didn't, they were either on lockdown married or living under a rock. That bar seemed like one of the most popular places to be. There were several other popular joints, but it depended on who had what drink specials that night.
The night life didn't start getting busy until between 10-11pm over in Hawaii. We had been drinking steadily throughout the day, so we decided to get down there a little early. Johnson had little car, so always played taxi for everyone. We got to Honolulu around 9:30 and parked his car in the Ft. Derussy lot as usual. We arrived at Moose's to find it with only a handful of people at this time. They were mostly tourists who'd wandered in randomly.
We all had a ritual when bar hopping together, and tonight was no different. Every time one of would buy a round, we would always get a shot to go with it. There really was no moderation with how we handled our alcohol. We were the epitome of the old saying "young, dumb and full of cum." I was the platoon sergeant, so I felt it was my duty to step up and buy these fine warriors the first round.
"Five tequilas and five beers please!" I said to hot little bartender.
She lined them all up with a lime wedge and placed a saltshaker on the bar. The guys gathered around and salted up their hand. Johnson took the lead and held up his shot glass.
"Here's to the ones we love and here's to the ones that love us. Since the ones that we love aren't the ones that love us, fuck you and here's to us!"
The little gal behind the bar let out a chuckle as we made short work of the shots. As we all grabbed our beers off the bar, the bartender asked what the occasion was. I told her that we all just returned from Okinawa and couldn't wait to get back into the Hawaiian night life.
"Well, welcome back and thank you for your service." she said smiling. "My name is Dani by the way."
"My name is Rick, but everyone just calls me Smith."
"Nice to meet you Rick. You guys enjoy your evening and let me know if you need anything."
She had a gorgeous smile and big, beautiful blue eyes. She was very easy on the eyes for sure. Within the first half an hour or so, the bar started getting more and more crowded. Johnson called us all back up the bar again for another round. Dani served us up the same as before. We all snatched them up and wolfed them down without the drama of a toast. I think our focus was starting to turn toward our mission for the night which was to pick up women.
The guys were all starting to lock in on some of the tourists and began scattering out. I struck up a conversation with Dani while she was serving up everyone's drinks. She was local to the island going to UH during the day and used Moose's to help her get through school. I contemplated staying at the bar and focusing my efforts on Dani because we seemed to be hitting it off, but I realized that I was distracting her. I told her that I was going to mingle with the crowd, but I would be back from time to time.
Dani gave me her number and told me to call her sometime just in case she gets too busy to chat later. I stuck it in my pocket and made my way out onto the dance floor. Beck yelled out for everyone to meet him over at one of the satellite bars they had set up for another round. He ordered up the same as we had before. They guys all took their shots and then scattered out again. Johnson was entertaining these two older ladies that looked to be in their late forties.
Jones had some blonde that he was dancing with. She looked like she was barely old enough to be in there. Beck and Taylor were talking to a group of girls. I found out later that they were all cheerleaders from MSU on spring break. One of the girls, Kacey, drug me into the group and started chatting my ears off. She was hot. She had just turned 21, long platinum blonde hair, dark tanned skin and a very athletic build. I have to admit that she was hard to look away from.
Her only drawback was that she talked a hundred miles a minute and would never shut up. You could hardly get a word in the conversation. She was one of those girls that tried to finish your sentence for you. She was gorgeous, but she was just a bit too wired for my personality. I excused myself from the group to use the restroom. On the way in, I noticed this Asian lady standing at the edge of the dance floor casually swaying to the beat. We locked eyes as I made my way through the crowd to the bathroom.
I was taken in by her stunning good looks. She was about 5'2" with long coal black hair, decent tits and supple little ass. She had on a pair of these tiny black booty shorts with a white halter top and 5" black patent leather stilettos. Her sexy look kept my attention, but I was about to piss myself from drinking all day. I made it through the crowd to the bathroom and just hoped that she'd still be there when I came out. I waited in line for what seemed like an eternity doing the pee dance.
I finally made it to the urinal and relieved myself. I washed up and quickly headed back out toward the dance floor. I looked around and didn't see her anywhere. Damn the luck I thought. I started making my way back out to the group I was with before, but I decided to stop off and grab myself another beer. The girl tending the tub asking me what I was having, and I told her a Bud Light.
"Make that 2 Bud Lights please." I heard a soft voice say to my right.
I looked over and there was the hot little Asian woman I saw on the way into the bathroom. She gave the bartender the money and told me that she hopes I don't mind her buying me a drink.
"I don't mind at all, but you didn't have to do that." I told her.
