darkest night

[PhoenixPrime01]

No Name:

"Hi Lee, you look great, but then you always do in or out of your clothes and with or without grease on you from working on your bike.
"By the way, while you were gone I tuned it up and did all of the needed maintaince on it for you.
"Good crowd for so early in the night."

Red leaned against the counter, his hand on his chin as he watched her walk through the door. She met gazing stares and lustful looks as she made her way back into the life of this bar. He misjudged his own reaction, and nearly bonked his own head into the bar.
"Careful now," He fixed an old man up a drink, who still looked back from time to time to make sure the beautiful vision was indeed still here.
"She's stunning, isn't she?"
A few guys came up asking for beers.
"Hey, Red, is she available?"
Red poured the drinks, "No, no. She's got a guy. Right over there."
"You sure?"
He nodded. Neither of them made any doubts about their love, but that wasn't entirely true. Lee had been crying earlier, udecided in just what to do. It was then she had kissed him, those soft lips touching his. That was nice, very nice.
He got a bit jealous when he saw Him come back inside. It went away though, just a few seconds of envy, nothing more.
That man had more than Red would ever dream in a woman.
"Yes," he nodded, "She's taken."
In his mind though, he wasn't so sure.
A bunch of orders came up just then, and he began to pour the drinks that they called out for.

 

[PhoenixPrime01]

No Name:

He begins to help out when he hears the rush of orders. As each is filled he slides it down the bar to Red to give to a customer or put on a waitress's serving tray, but stays were he was standing not wanting to get far from Leona.

Her scent filled his senses smothering the smoke the AC didn't exhaust fast enough and as he moved he got to look at her. This might be their last night together and he wanted all he could have to remember her by if it was.

 

[honnie]

That gleam was soft tonight, not as lustful as before. I kissed hom and left to greet my quests. I took about 4 steps, turned and he went to help Red at the bar. Although His back was to me, his walk was brisk, I knew that I had lost a bit of him.

However, Red was staring at me. I could tell that it wasn't just a casual look. It ment someting. Hum, this could be interesting. I thought to myself. I turned to meet face to face, a handsome fellow, tall, masculine; derssed in kakies and a brown plaid shirt; who offered to buy me a drink. His eyes dark brown just gased into mine like the moon.

"No thankyou, I am on the job. Hi, my name is Leona, I own this Tavern. Enjoy yourself, your next drink is on me."

I motioned to Red that his next drink would be free, and walked away. He kept following me with his eyes everywhere I went. I didn't bother me, but there was something about him that made me wonder. After making my rounds and saying hi to all my guest, I snuck to my office. I was a bit tired being the first night back and a little out of wack. I slipped off my dress and wraped in my robe to rest on the couch. I had the strangest feeling that something was not right.

I layed back, put my feet up, and I heard a noise in the hall. It was a couple of customers arguing and making remarks towards one another. I slipped my dress on, opened the door to see them swinging at eachother.

"Stop it, NOW!" they continued to fight. Just then I saw Red come down the hall, running to break it up. The one guy Red pulled away, the other hit Red, and that's when I got between them.

"No on fights in my Tavern. Now geT OUT!" as I held up Ramsey. It was at that moment I regained my idenity and where I stood with myself.

"Are you alright Red? Can you stand up."

I helped him to his feet, and when his arm touch mine I grew flustered. If only... no it is not. I need to stop thinkin this way.

"Come in and sit for a bit. When you feel up to it I'll be out front. There is cold wated in the fridge."

I brushed his face as I walked towards the door.

 

[PhoenixPrime01]

No Name:

I heard the disturbance in the hallway leading to the bathrooms and office and vaulted the bar as Red disappeared into the doorway.

I reached the hall in time to see Lee helping red up as she held her old friend Ramsey and looked at the two drunks, one sucking his knuckles. That explained how Red made it to the floor.

No bullshit. No hesitation. Everyone had to learn fighting in Leona's Tavern was a no win situation and would be painful.

As Lee took Red into the office I stepped into the hall and said just loud enough to be heard over the music. He works with me. You just fucked up asshole and drove his front teeth into his mouth.

He hit the wall and slumped down it blood running down his chin. I looked at the other yahoo and asked just as quietly, "How about you friend? Still wanna fight? If so lets step into the alley so we don't disturb the customers and I'll be happy to accomodate you. I have some anger and hostility to work out and that creme puff asshole on the floor wasn't nearly enough."

He blustered and huffed and puffed, but sidled past me into the bar again. My fingers sunk painfully into his shoulder stopping him and I growled low, quietly in a voice full of menace and promise, "Fuck up in here again and your buddy on the floor will look great compared to you when I've finished with ya. Tell your friends too. Fight in Leona's or screw with the girls or help will mean a trip to the ER. Got it slick."

He nodded and I let him go.

The no front teeth numbnuts was getting up again so I helped out by grbbing a handful of his hair and lifting until he was on his feet.

"You're outta here asshole. Come back again for any reason and I'll cripple you." I used his hair to "escort" him to the front door as the blood from his missing teeth dribbled onto the bar room floor.

It got very quiet as we passed the tables and at the door I said loud enough to be heard, "Any asshole like you that wants to fight in here gets the same thing and sucker punching or fucking with one of the girls earns more pain.
"Like I said asshole you're Outta Here," as my boot launched him through the open door onto the sidewalk.

"Come back again and ya may as well have a wheelchair with you shithead."

Closing the door and facing the crowd, "Sorry but some little boys can't hold their drink and can't fight either. A round on me to forget that candy ass."

This was greeted my a cheer. I went to the bar and grabbed the wooden nickles used to show drinks were owed and walked around handing each customer one.

Then it was back to bartending again. I knew Lee could take care of Red, she'd done it enough for me in the past. I still sported a couple of scars she'd stitched to close knife wounds.

 

[honnie]

As I entered tha hallway, I saw and heard him. His rough exterior and gruff voice was enough to turn me on. I followed him, and then stopped to watch hom protect my interests. I didn't mind that hi gave out wodden nickles to customers, it made him smile when he could kick some ass.

I knew Red would be ok, so I wandered over to the bar.

"Hey there, would you buy a lady a drink?"

I smiled up at him and said, "Thanks." Then I used the stool to get higher, leaned over the counter and laid one one him.

 

[PhoenixPrime01]

No Name:

"Anytime luscious Lee," he says as he makes you a weak drink and sets it in front of you.

After the kiss, "Mmmmm, as tasty as you always are and those soft lips always feel wonderful.
"Must be getting old. Red beat me to the scuffle. Can't believe I missed those two assholes, but I'll keep a sharper eye out, although after seeing what happened to the candy ass who sucker punched Red I doubt that there'll be a problem for quite awhile.
"How's the kid? He okay Lee? I owe him an apology. His backup was late gettin' there."

 

[honnie]

"You're not old or late. You're just..."

I couldn't help myself and leaned in for another round of the taste of his lips. The shivers controled my body and held on tight in front of eveyone.

"I don't want you to leave. I know what I want. I want you. Now what do you think about that?"

 

[PhoenixPrime01]

No Name:

"Never wanted to leave, but didn't wanna be in the way if you wanted someone or something else Lee," he says quietly after the kiss and lightly biting your tongue and lips.

 

[honnie]

"Be honest with me, how do you feel about me?

I was a bit scared of his answer, for fear I would not like the answer.

 

[PhoenixPrime01]

No Name:

"Maybe the best way to answer that is to tell you that I've spent the last three years following every lead, every bit of gossip and in between just riding and looking for you Lee.
"Does that answer you? Is that the answer you wanted?"

 

[honnie]

I was beside myself with happiness. I grabbed him, put my arms around him.

"Don't ever let go. I don't want to loose you again. I may look, but you'll will be the one I think of and will always come home to."

The warmth of his touch was enough to send shivers everywhere. I wanted the night to end even though it just barely begun.

Red came around the corner looking ok, but he still looked a bit shook up. He came over to the counter and looked at the both of us and asked if he could get an ice pack. His nose and cheeck looked a bit brused.

One of the customers came over to see how Red was doing. He saw me and my grin and said,

"You look like you just swalloed the canery. Hiding secrets?"

Red looked puzzled.

 

[PhoenixPrime01]

No Name:

"I'll be here 'til you tell me to go or I'm in the way.
"Go ahead and look, even play, but as long as I'm here you're mine and don't ever forget it Lee. I won't even if I go play with someone else now and then too. After all we're human and horny all of the time," he says very seriously but with a smile as he finishes.

"Sure kid," I say as I put one together for him with crushed ice so it will mould to his face and be softer on the bruised area. It's wrapped in a clean bar towel and handed to him with a slap on the back.

"Oh and here kid," I say with a grin as I hold out my hand. "Your backup may have been late and sorry for that, but," and his hand opens to drop something into Red's," here's the front teeth of the shit head who sucker punched you.
"Hope that makes up for it a little bit Red."

 

[poohlive]

"Thanks," Red took a look at the battered and bloody tooth with indifference, not sure just why he would need a souvenir of the whole ordeal, but glad that he had gotten it just the same.
It went into a jar of odd ends and knick knack already piled up near the end of the bar.
Red said a thank you to both of them before getting back to the bar and fixing up drinks once more. It looked as if they had been busy, and the bat had gone a little slack.
Eyeing the two of them, sitting close, kissing, he could tell why. They were in love, something far greater than even he could hope for. A soul mate, of sorts.
Congratulating them on their success, he popped a few more caps off of some beers and handed them down to the awaiting customers.

 

[PhoenixPrime01]

No Name:

"Tell me the truth Lee, you want to bed the kid don't ya?
"It won't hurt my feelings if you do so long as you remember whose you are after you've cum," he says quietly with mischief in his eyes.

 

[honnie]

I couldn’t answer right then. But he was right Red excited me. He was young, fresh and mighty handsome. I didn’t really know how he felt about me. I caught him looking many times, but he gave me the impression that he was looking out for the Tavern and me.

“Maybe” is all I could say, not really knowing how he really felt. They had become good friends and that made me happy. The other employees were here and there, but not really sociable. The girls know that fraternization was not allowed.

Red seamed preoccupied with serving the customers. His laughter was quite a turn-on, but I never wanted to push. However, I almost did in the office earlier, when in my emotional state. The question is ‘what would have happened if I had let my desires for him be made known’. That question grew more and more in my head, and my heart seamed to belong to my best friend.

I could see that he and Red had their little signals for behavior problems. No words were ever exchanged; one look from Red and they were immediately escorted out of the Tavern. I knew that my interests and assets were well in hand.

I decided to make rounds again, making sure that my customers were happy. I felt like ‘Kitty’ in the movie ‘Gunsmoke’, sharing the pleasure. The spats and love taps on the backside never bothered me, unless they got out of hand. Of course, even dress like a lady, my right hook was always there. And if that didn’t work, one whistle and their out. Sometimes on there heads. That one thing I could always count on, he would be there.

As I made it back to the bar, Red was looking up at me, his grin from ear-to-ear. The two of them looked like cats in the hen house. I just stood there, smiled, licked my lips and said…

“Well boys, it looks like another great night. I don’t know about you, but I’m in the mood....”

Then I decided to sing… “I’m in the mood for love…” I stopped, laughed, walked over and gave the two of them a kiss on the cheek. I giggled, grabbed both their butts and smiled.

The look on their faces was a highlight to a already wonderful night.

 

[PhoenixPrime01]

No Name:

I laughed as she grabbed my ass and squeezed. Not so much because it was funny, although it was, but because Lee was back again. The Lee I'd known and wanted all of those empty years, had found again and nearly lost.

The Lee who almost fell apart just a short time ago was gone and "my" Lee was home again.

"Jeeze lady, can't ya keep your hands off the merchandise," I quipped which set those close enough to laughing and actually caught her by surprise and made her blush a bit.

"Damn Red, what are we gonna do when we keep getting sexually harassed like this? Think we oughta sue the wench?"

The laughter got louder at that and she joined in even as the light blush deepened a bit more.

"Got'cha." I whispered and laughed.

 

[poohlive]

Red coughed up a bit of soda that he had drunk, making an obvious face that he had just shot some up his nose.
"I'm sorry," He said, laughing and wiping himself with a towel, "I don't think it's harrassment if you like it."
He uncapped a couple of beers and handed them off to a few people in need of them.
"So, how is it getting back into the groove of things? I see you don't have much trouble. The people haven't forgotten you or anything. Who would ever forget you?"
A man asked for a scotch on the rocks, and Red send him down the drink.
"It hasn't been as busy, but we kept afloat. I hope you can bring in the regulars again though. Some people come here just to see you, you know."

 

[PhoenixPrime01]

No Name:

"Dammmn Red, now ya did it. There goes tonight's profits. She'll have to buy a new brain bucket and new hats her head will swell so much," I laughed as I got ready to block the smack, punch or kick.

 

[honnie]

I couldn't resist from laughing. It had been so long, I almost forgot how. But the face on Red was funny. A they both had me going. It was great to have again. I didn't hit either of them, just grabbed tweeked their buns.

I went aroung the bar, struting my stuff, while licking my lips, smil'in at the both of them. I visited my customers, being my ol'e self again. I saw a couple of gentleman on the side table, looking board.

"Why the long faces, it's party time."
They looked at me with chessycat grins, as one of them grabbed my ass. I just smiled.

"I think you have had enough to drink" I said, and walked away.

I motioned to Red not to serv them any more. I get a whistle from the both of them. But they were to drunk to try anything.

Red served the some coffee and kept an eye on them. I knew that I was in good hand with my buds. No one could ever be so lucky.

It was almost closing time, and the customers were leaving slowly. Most of them know when it's time to leave. And then there are those who need reminding. I rang the bell, to signal the 30 minute time, so I didn't have to yell.

After the love pats, the kisses on the cheek and the hugs, they were all gone. I was so exausted, I sat in the first chair I could and asked Red to pour me a big one. At first he looked at me funny, and then I said "make it light".

"Well guys another night, another good night. What do you say we call it a night and blow this joint. Lets go to my place for a relaxing few hours. Im wired, and want to play cards."

They both laughed.

 

[PhoenixPrime01]

No Name:

"Sounds like a plan to me. I'm not ready to sleep yet either," he smiles having an idea what's on your devious and dirty mind. 'Just like the old days,' he thinks to himself.

 

[poohlive]

Red began to wipe off the bar, a smile beginning to form on his lips. He had never been out with them before. A few times they had stayed late to shoot the shit at the bar, but never anything like this.
It intrigued him.
"Yeah, I'm game. I've been looking for a way to lose some cash."
He finished getting rid of the empty beer bottles and putting chairs on the tables before he gave a definitive sigh, ready to follow their lead.

 

[PhoenixPrime01]

No Name:

Once all's done for tomorrow's opening, "Well Lee two up with me or in the "cage" with Red?"

 

[honnie]

"Hummm, let me think about that for a while, and I'll let ya know."

The thoughts going threw my head, would make any normal gal pass out, but my mind was going plenty fast. I knew making them wait for me would have them pacing to know what I was going to do.

"I'll be back boys, I'm going to change."

Leaving them standing there as I strut myself to the office, I could see the looks on their faces, as if I left them hangin in a wind storm. I giggled as I closed the door, awhile thinking of my own sceam to get them both. Hum, oh the thing we could do...

I went through the clothes finding something inticing to wear, that would be dazzling as well as sexy. One thing I learned, being in this business, make it simple, cause it comes off fast and easy. I knew how he liked leather, so I put on the outfit that reminded me of our earlier days. Black, leather, open to the navel and any mans favorite, a black shiny g-string.

I set the music to play 'Evil Ways, by Santana' The curtains open and they both get a privite dance, just for them.

 

[PhoenixPrime01]

No Name:

I was sitting at the bar with Red sucking on a bottle of beer with him when "Evil Ways" filled the barroom and we both turned as the curtains opened to show Lee standing there looking to hot to believe.

If I'd been alone or knew Red better I'd have thrown her down on the stage and fucked her bowlegged right then and there. Damn was she hot.
