off
everything. I’m busy appraising him when both men look up from their
conversation, waiting for me to say something. Not wanting to draw any more
attention to myself, I purposely stare at Jaxon’s friend.
“Hi, my name’s Tessa, and I’ll be your waitress
today. What can I get started for you to drink?”
His friend puts the menu down on the table, “I’ll
have a Heineken, in a bottle.”
I nod my head in acknowledgment of his order and
look over at Jaxon. His eyes are finishing their trail up my body. It’s obvious
he likes what he sees in my revealing uniform. A sexy smirk takes over his
mouth as he narrows his beautiful blue eyes at me.
“What do you recommend?”
Damn, his voice is sexy. It’s low, husky, and
screams sex.
I swallow in an attempt for my voice to come out
clear and confident, not weak and aroused.
“To drink?” I ask stupidly, like I’ve forgotten
what my job entails.
His smile grows a little bigger, “Yes, to drink.”
“Umm… well that depends on if you’re eating. If you
are eating, what are you eating? Also, are you going out after? If you are,
then you’ll want to stay away from the hard stuff, so you can drive to your
next destination. Then there’s the matter of if you’re drinking casually, or to
get drunk, and in what combination of the previously listed are you planning on
for the night. This all needs to be taken into consideration before you choose
what to drink.” I take a deep breath from my nervous rambling, but continue to
stick my foot in my mouth.
“Do you plan on getting lucky tonight? Because if
you do, you might want to stay away from hard liquor. If you get too drunk, it
might interfere with your sexual performance, and no woman wants that. So I
can’t really give you a recommendation of what to drink, because I’m not you. I'd
hate to recommend the wrong thing and fuck up your night.”
With that, I close my mouth and pray the nervous
word vomit is over. Jaxon and his friend are laughing and I can feel my face
turning an embarrassing red, which is weird because I don’t get embarrassed.
“Do you go into such great detail with all your
customers?”
I look around the room, trying to avoid eye
contact. “No, it kind of just came out. I couldn’t control it.”
“I see. It’s good advice and I’m glad you took the
time to give it to me. I’ll also have a Heineken, you know, just in case I want
to get lucky.”
Oh God, I really said that to him.
He sticks his hand out for me to shake. “I’m Jaxon
Wyatt and this is my buddy, Ryan.”
I return his handshake, “Tessa… I’m Tessa Greyson.”
“It’s a pleasure to meet you, Tessa,” Jaxon says
flirtatiously. “Tell me something, Tessa, what are you doing later tonight?”
Is he flirting with me?
Who am I kidding, of course he is. Any guy with
eyes would try to flirt with someone in an outfit as ridiculously slutty as
this.
“Actually, a friend of mine is having a party at
his house tonight. A bunch of us are going up there after we get off work.”
“Dave Miller’s party?” His friend Ryan asks.
I squint my eyes at him, tilting my head in
confusion. “You know Dave? I thought you just got into town.”
“We did,” Jaxon says nervously, while quickly
looking at his friend. “We met Dave our first night here. We’re planning on
hitting up that party, too.”
I can’t hide the smile that appears on my face, I’m
excited he’ll be there tonight.
“Well, I guess we can hang out together, since
you’re new in town. I can introduce you to people, but you’ll have to stay
close to me all night, if you want to meet the right people.”
I’m back. Flirty Tessa has finally decided to make
an appearance.
“I think I can manage that. What time do you get
off?”
“We’re usually done around midnight, but I’m going
up there with my friend, Piper. I’ll look for you.”
“Sounds like a plan.”
I nod and step back from the table. “I’ll go get
your
