Brinley
“So, what do you think? Date? Friends? Hookup ?” Brinley’s coworker, Maddie, pointed across the bar to where two new women were now sitting.
“Definitely just meeting here to have a few drinks before going back to someone’s place to have sex. It will be a one-time thing… if it even gets that far.”
Maddie squinted and scrunched up her nose. “I think you’re finally wrong for once. That blonde girl looks way too nervous for this to be a planned hookup . She doesn’t seem the type. It’s gotta be a first date.”
Brinley shook her head and laughed. “You’re wrong. Blondie is clearly new at this, hence the look of terror, which is the complete opposite of Professor Plum, who is looking at her like she wants to eat her up right here at the bar.”
Maddie stared at the two women for much too long. “Interesting take, but I still think you’re wrong.”
“Looks like it’s time to find out.” Brinley whipped Maddie’s ass with her towel before walking to the other end of the bar. She leaned down on the bar right in front of the two women and shot them her best smile. “What can I get you two?”
When the blonde made eye contact with her, Brinley noticed for the first time just how hot she was. Actually, hot didn’t suffice. This woman was drop-dead gorgeous. So gorgeous that Brinley almost forgot where she was and what she was doing. She ran her eyes down the length of the woman’s body, and she must have noticed, because her face turned the slightest shade of red.
The sound of a throat clearing interrupted whatever this moment was that they were having. “We’ll take two tequila shots,” Purple Hair said, sounding annoyed. She must have noticed Brinley’s wandering eyes.
Brinley ignored the obvious disdain for her and smiled at the woman. “Each or total?”
“Total,” the purple-haired woman said at the same time the blonde said, “Each.”
Brinley couldn’t help but smirk. These two definitely weren’t leaving the bar together.
“Five shots coming up.”
Purple Hair furrowed her eyebrows. “Five?”
“Yep.” Brinley pointed between the two women and then at herself. “Two for each of you and one for me.”
“That’s a bit unprofessional, don’t you think?” Purple Hair crossed her arms and lifted an eyebrow in challenge .
Is this seriously because I checked out the woman she is just here to hook up with?
Brinley waved a hand and smiled. “Nah. All part of the job.”
Before the woman could say anything else, she got to work filling five shot glasses with tequila. After she pushed four over toward the women, she held up her own glass. “To whatever this is. I hope it goes well for both of you.”
This finally made Purple smile, but instead of looking at Brinley, she stared at the woman beside her, that territorial look back in her eyes. She lifted her glass toward the woman, completely ignoring Brinley. “To new beginnings.”
Brinley smiled as she took her shot. She was right about them just meeting. New beginnings sounded more along the lines of a first date, but she was still sticking to her first assumption that this was nothing more than a hookup.
“What else can I get you two?” she asked once all the shots were gone.
“I’ll take Sex on the Beach,” the blonde said, her face turning red once again.
Brinley inadvertently licked her lips. I’m sure you would. “Great choice.” She forced her eyes over toward Purple. “And for you?”
“I’ll just take whatever beer you have on tap and some privacy, please .”
The way she said please made Brinley want to slap her, but unlike what this woman believed, she was a professional. “Coming right up.”
She got the drinks ready then set them down in front of the women and pointed toward the other end of the bar. “I’ll be over there. Holler if you need me.” She winked at the blonde because she couldn’t resist.
“So, what’s the verdict?” Maddie asked when she was standing beside her.
“Inconclusive.” Brinley was disappointed in herself that she hadn’t walked away with any answers.
“I knew it. I told you that you were wrong this time.”
