Thread: No Turning Back (Alvis Alendran&SHARPii)

Naturally, it didnt faze her that she went from two completely different kinds of styles and personas. No, Esther didnt wear thick make up and clothes like this that accentuated every curvy and asset on her body to fine perfection. Because these were the jeans that made her ass look divine. No. She liked to think of herself as a chameleon after she graduated from college and needed to support herself until she could land a job she actually wanted to do. Just apparently, they werent hiring teachers for the subject she wanted. So she settled. This wasnt her plan by any means at all but she improved greatly when she had to and had not the best support. Nodding to him though, she sat back in the seat, the ride relatively silent. Arriving at The Spot, she got out of the car and briefly thanked Mr. Trenton when she got a call. Apparently the bar was busy tonight, which his why they needed an extra hand. Im walking in John! She practically barked into the phone as she opened the door and leaving Harrison alone. She didnt even look back. She went to the back, took her jacket off, flipped her hair and then came out to the front. She went to work like she had been working there since college. Oh wait, she had been. Yeah, she had been working at The Spot full time since she was eighteen. Because she was underage and couldnt serve alcohol then, she was like a bus boy. It was worth it since she made eight dollars an hour. Then she turned twenty-one and was promoted to bartender alongside John Kincade, Tabitha Sparks and Mindy Tailway. John was this strapping guy who knew how to get women to look his way and usually all the customers he made drinks for were womenmostly women trying to throw themselves at him. He was dating Mindy Tailway who had gotten used to it. As long as John came home to her and did her rather than another woman, she was fine. Mindy was okay but she and Esther didnt see eye to eye. Actually, Esther didnt get along with her or Tabitha because she took all their usual clients away. Apparently she had more to offer. Esther was too humble and kind to think anything of it. She just did her job and took her tips, saving up currently for a concert and a vacation. She saw her regulars and got them their drinks immediately. She worked well, having been doing this for that long. After college, when it was difficult to find a job, she saw ads for runner jobs at prestigious law firms. They paid damn well and she made herself okay with living with the bare minimum if it meant not being homeless. She just learned that her income at the firm took care of all her bills and payments and everything else. Rent even. Money from the bar, well that was the money she could spend on herself without being forced to give her money away. The bar was pretty mellow. It had this Coyote Ugly feel to it but unfortunately the girls and John did not get up on the bar and sing and shower alcohol everywhere. But right now it felt like the crowd was like that because it was so packed. There was also a little dance floor over way that was crowded. She didnt know why but finally understood. They had a guest band, and that was what the hoopla over this venue was. It was a pretty big deal. The dance floor was packed, the music was loud and it wasnt looking to die down at least for another hour when the band would leave and itd go back to the regular thumping music usually played. When that hour did go by, she was so swamped. She was leaning over the bar, casually chatting with John, the only one of the bartenders she got along with. Mindy and Tabitha chatted amongst themselves. John poured Esther a shot and she declined but he pushed. She looked about, her eyes searching for Mr. Trenton. She felt like a school girl who was looking out to make sure the principal didnt see her do something bad. Taking the shot of tequila, she knocked it back like she knocked five others last night. One down, five more to go. Or are we going for seven total tonight to surpass your limit of six? He teased. She batted him away. Go make out with your girlfriend.
