Excerpt:
“Mr.
Steele, don’t you think you’ve had enough tonight?” The bartender asked.
Mr. Steele asked for another drink, and his tone told the bartender he didn’t want conversation, but the next drink from the bartender.
Mr. Steele asked for another drink, and his tone told the bartender he didn’t want conversation, but the next drink from the bartender.
He poured the double scotch and
slammed the bottle down hard on the bar. The jolt was loud enough to
arouse the tall, lean man who had ordered it.
Ashley Steele's fixed his eyes on
the empty glass in front of his tired looking eyes. Without a word, he slid the
empty glass away and with a slow and deliberate motion slide the fresh double
scotch to the staring place on the bar he had been looking at. His hand moved towards
the refilled tumbler. His slow movement would make one assume he had
a physical ailment. Ashley placed his fingers around the tumbler
and said, “I’ll say when it's enough.”
“Mr.
Steele, You don’t come in here that regular, but I remember you cause you
are a good tipper, but I don’t want you to have any trouble. Besides, we’ll be
closing soon, and you need to head home.”
“I
can’t sleep here,” he said with a slight slur.
“No,
Mr. Steele this isn’t a hotel, you’re still at the Airport Bar. Or do you live
near here? I don't know Mr. Steele.”
Ashley took a slow and steady
survey around the bar and, as he did, his eyebrows rose. “I
guess I’m out of town.”
Just as he said that, a Stewardess
walked in with dark hair, tight clothes, high heels, and pleasing legs carrying
a large suitcase and a small one. Everyone in the bar saw the outline of her
figure with her tailored airline uniform highlighting the right
parts. Every man in the bar noticed her as she walked and looked around
the bar. Every woman noticed her too. The men eyed her figure, and the women
critiqued the outfit.
Ashley watched her from the corner
of his eyes as she walked in and looked around. She headed toward him in the
corner of the bar. For a moment their eyes connected and she tossed him a casual
smile. He returned the smile with a wink as she found a booth just behind him
in the corner of the bar. The smell of her perfume drifted by him, and he
turned on his stool as if to engage the stunning woman at a quarter of a turn.
When she walked in the song "The Lady In Red" started
playing which seemed appropriate and drew the fascination of all to her.
As she had walked through the bar,
the bartender didn’t move and from his vantage point
was still staring at the woman. “Let me see what I can get her, if you know
what I mean,” he said to Ashley.
