Patrick McLaughlin 28/m
Working as a bartender at Newton's, an upscale restaurant/ bar in order to pay his way through college.
Patrick did not come from a wealthy family, and, with the cost of college these days, he had to contribute to his education in a big way. He didn't have a problem with doing that. It just meant that any free time from school that he had was taken up with work. He had been fortunate enough to get a job at Newton's when he was in high school. He started out as a bus boy and expediter, and, when he turned 21 he was able to move into a bartender position.
After graduating from college, Patrick found that the jobs that he was offered did not pay him anywhere near the money that he was making as a bartender. Granted, he worked long hours, but the money was great, and he was able to sleep late. Having spent the last 6 years bartending at Newton's, Patrick had become a favorite of many of the locals, so, it made the job that much easier.... some would even say he enjoyed the job.
The only problem with his job was that it involved working nights, and weekend nights at that. If you wanted to make money doing that, you had to work the weekends. That really put a damper on Patrick's social life. It was the rare occasion when he got to go out with friends, and his love life.... well, there wasn't one to speak of. Yea, there was the hook-up now and then, but his work schedule crimped his style.
It is another Friday night, and the regular dinner crowd is shuffling in for dinner. There are a few people at the bar, but it is early. Most of what is happening now comes from the service bar. He makes drinks and chats with the waitresses as they pick up their drinks. He even flirts with the new waitress that was just hired, despite the fact that she has a big rock on her finger. Then, Patrick sees a woman come through the door. She looks very familiar to him, but he doesn't know why. He watches her walk to the bar. She is hot even though she is older than he is, he is attracted to her. He makes his way over to her as she sits at the bar. "Good evening, ma'am. How can I help you?"
