"Oh! Hello." I greeted a new girl behind the bar at my local.
Ganges was a dank place I went to go and drink at. All the bar tenders were girls and are for the most part pretty cute.
"Hi. I'm Amber." The tallish girl answered with a broad smile. "I'm Amanda's sister."
"Hi. I'm Gerome. Nice to meet you." I shook the extended hand of the pretty, long haired brunette with sparkling eyes.
"Oh! Amanda told me about you." Her smile brighten even more.
"Uh-oh..." I responded. Amanda also worked at Ganges but I haven't had the pleasure of doing her.
"No, no! All good." Amber quickly assured me.
As per normal during a weekday afternoon, the bar was pretty empty. Only Sean was there and he was napping in a booth.
I watched as she punched in my beer in the register, popped the cap and placed it on the bar in front of me. Amber stood about 5'7" with a pretty slim built but with a nice set.
"Wow, is it always like this in here?" Amber asked.
"Yeah, pretty quiet in here, but it will pick up later... Maybe." I informed her. "Usually better late night when the entertainment starts."
"Great!" Amber said in a sarcastic tone. "I'm working days. Tuesday and Sundays."
"You know how to get more in here? Wear stilettos." I joked. "At least just for me. I'd be here every day if you did."
"Yeah, right." Amber laughed.
Since there wasn't anyone else to serve, we talked a lot. Amber finished with school, but at only 19 finding a good paying job was limited. She said she wasn't really working anywhere else which I thought was weird otherwise how would she support herself.
At the end when I had to leave, Amber gave me a warm hug. "It was nice talking with you. Hope to see you again next time."
Unfortunately I was out of town on the Sunday, but was there again on Tuesday. Again, Ganges was empty. Even Sean was out buying supplies for the bar.
Amber greeted me with another warm hug. "Hi, Gerome! I'm so bored."
"Mmmm... Busy in here again, I see." I commented as Amber placed my beer in front of me.
She held up her index finger and ducked below the bar. When she rose back up, she seemed taller. I could hear clicking as she walked around to me. She smiled as she nodded her head in the direction of her feet. I looked down to see her wearing 4-inch high heel, strappy sling backs. "Just for you... At least until someone else comes in."
"Wow, Amber! They look great on you." I was extremely pleased. She wiggled her red painted toes at me.
