I had just pulled up to Click’s when I saw her. She stood about five feet five inches tall and looked like a personal trainer. Black boots, black stretch pants and a brown top. All in all a very nice show, what made it even better was that the clothing was stretched to accommodate her slim figure. She had her hair back in plaits. All in all a very nice package. But what really caught me attention was that brown top. It hugged those breasts firmly and because she was black her breasts really showed through that light brown material.
I pulled out my pool cue, and tried the door. It was still locked. Clicks doesn’t open till eleven in the morning and I was a little early. I turned to watch the girl and she pulled a cell phone out. I’ve been coming to Click’s on First Ave. in Tucson for about a year now and I know all the regulars. I’d never seen her before but I sure hoped I’d see a lot more of her. I went back to my truck and waited for the bar to open. About ten minutes later Tony the bartender showed up and let us both in.
I walked in and tossing Tony some money picked up my bottled water and a set of balls and took up my accustomed place on table number one. Table one is close to the bar and I watched the girl ask Tony for an application. He gave her one and she sat down nearby to fill it out. As she filled it out I set up my table and pretended to start practicing. I had to pretend because I couldn’t take my eye’s off of her. I wasn’t sure what balls I was hitting.
Jim the game guy came in and opened up the juke box. I asked and he told me Alan the General Manager had called in last night at closing to tell him the jukebox was giving away free credits. He set about working on the jukebox, and I yelled at him to play some music. Sometimes that works with Jim and sometimes it doesn’t. Today it produced some Marvin Gaye music.
I looked over at the girl and she was kind of tapping her foot to the beat. I have to admit I was surprised that a young lady would like Marvin Gaye, but hey I’ll take it. After she’d finished making out her application she gave it to Tony and he said he’d pass it on to Allen the boss. She seemed kind of deflated by this and asked for some water. Tony pulled out a bottle of water and told her it was on the house. She took it and headed for the door.
Now I wasn’t about to let her get away that easy. Table one is 5 feet from the door and I leaned over the railing and asked her if she’d care to dance. She looked me over and shook her head no. I may really not have been what she was looking for. For starters I’m a Scottish looking white boy. I keep in shape but I’m not real muscled. I was also in my late twenties and she had probably just turned twenty one.
“Okay how about a game of pool then?” I rallied.
Again that little head shake and she reached for the door.
