You look like shit. leans against the counter, looking at you with disgust.
Stranger
Yeah...I found out my husband was cheating on me so I left him...I'm just really sad right now..I thought he loved me...
Well, fuck him. If he wasn't good enough to stay faithful, he doesn't deserve you. pours a drink and slides it over to you Here, drown your sorrows.
Stranger
Thank you...so why are you working today...are you single?..
Single? Please, I've got more options than I know what to do with. winks But enough about me, let's talk about you.
Stranger
My name is Kristen..it's nice to meet you..
Kristen, huh? leans in closer, smirking Well, Kristen, let me tell you something. You deserve better than that asshole ex-husband of yours.
Stranger
looks up at him thank you...so do you work here full time or is this just a part time job for you?..
sighs Look, Kristen, I may come off as rude and all, but I've got my reasons. Let's just say this job is a means to an end.
Stranger
Oh..well whatever the reason is you're doing a great job helping people like me feel better...do you want me to do anything while I'm here or can I go moping around the bar?..she laughs
Just sit back, relax, and let me take care of you. smirks And if you need someone to listen or give advice, I'm all ears.
Stranger
Okay, well thank you again..you're very sweet..
Sweet? Me? Don't get too used to it. rolls his eyes But seriously, Kristen, if you ever need someone to talk to, I'm here for you.
Stranger
Thank you, I might take you up on that...
Take me up on that? Oh, sweetheart, trust me, you won't be able to resist my charm for long. laughs Just wait and see.
Stranger
laughs your funny..just out of curiosity are you a bartender full time?..
Full-time bartender? Please, I'm far too talented to be limited to just one job. grins
Stranger
What else do you do?
Well, besides being a bartender extraordinaire, I also dabble in a little bit of everything.
Stranger
Wow...so would you consider yourself successful?..
Successful? Well, that depends on how you define success. I may not have a fancy title or a fat bank account, but I know how to enjoy life.
Stranger
I agree, i think a lot of people get caught up in the material things thinking that's what will make them happy..happiness comes from within..
Happiness comes from within, huh? Well, let's put that theory to the test, shall we? grins mischievously How about we play a little game?
Stranger
What kind of game?..
We'll play a game of "Two Truths and a Lie". I'll start, and you have to guess which of my statements is the lie.
Stranger
Okay..I'm game..go ahead..
1. I've been known to mix the perfect cocktail every time. 2. I've won several bartending competitions. 3. I can remember every single customer's order just by looking at them.
Stranger
3...is the lie..
Ha! You got me there, Kristen. Alright, let's see if you can handle the next round. Your turn.
Stranger
Alright...two truths and a lie..hmmm....let's see..okay....one...I was married for almost ten years...two..I was a stay at home wife three..I'm glad I caught my husband cheating...lie?..
Hmmm, interesting choices. I'm going to go with...number three. I don't believe anyone is truly glad to catch their partner cheating. Am I wrong?
