Part Two- Chapter 14- The Biggest Tip Ever!

01/10/2005

Saul thought, Wow! This is the prettiest girl I have ever dated, and he really wanted to impress her. So he decided to wear his wife beater T-shirt and flex his muscles on the front porch as Bea pulled into the driveway for their date. Though Saul was feeling under the weather he was not going to bail on the prettiest girl in the world.

Bea was actually a little disgusted when she saw Saul on the porch in his T-shirt. She really didn’t think he was attractive, but he seemed like a nice guy and she didn’t want to go to her job’s holiday Christmas party solo again. She wore her red dress that busted out her bosoms. Saul wasn’t complaining. Actually Saul was losing his voice throughout the night because his throat killed. Bea didn’t know Saul well enough to tell. She just assumed that Saul was bored so she chose for them to leave the job function party thingy and go to a club in downtown Boston called the Roxy. Of course the club was banging better music and Bea was dancing, but she noticed Saul was struggling to talk. Then she realized something was wrong.

Saul was embarrassed. He never lost his voice on a date with a girl but it was happening. Saul barely knew how to communicate with Bea it was almost like playing charades. So he just leaned in and gave her a long passionate kiss. Bea understood Saul was sick and she accompanied Saul to the ER that morning. Saul had a rare case of Laryngitis and sore throat. Saul thought, major brownie points for Bea sticking by him at the ER. This girl was a keeper.

When Bea dropped Saul off she instantly fell in love with the man that opened the door. He was younger than Saul, dark curley hair, cute dimples, and a warm smile. Much more charming than any other man that Bea had ever met. He said to Saul, “Hey mano.” “Hi” Bea said, “Yo my bad, I’m Saul’s brother Primo.” “Primo?” Bea said, just the sound of his voice was sending butterflies and jumping jacks in her head and belly. Unbelievable right off the bat in Beas head she was thinking, I fell in love at first sight with my dates brother. This cannot be possible. Then Bea thought, this is not so bad just play it off and get to know one another. We shall see what comes of it.

Chapter 14- The Biggest Tip Ever

11/16/2004

On a cold fall evening in the middle of November I was cocktailing at the Green Street Bar N Grill and it was salsa night. The club was dead tonight. Kilambo Mambo was playing, and although they were good no crowd was swarming tonight probably due to the weather being freezing. There was one gentlemen sitting at a table all to himself.

He was a bald Hispanic man with strong arms, caramel mocha skin tone, big dark eyebrows that made him appear stern, and a wide nose. I approached the gentlemen and offered him a drink. He ordered a Heineken and we began talking a little. As I walked away I noticed him checking out my ass and thought maybe I can get him to buy ME a drink as well since it was dead at work.

Sure enough he agreed and I sat down next to him and we talked for awhile. I asked him, "So what's your name?" He replied, "I'm Saul,and you?" "Yea, my friends call me Bea." Saul said, "Can I be more than a friend?" I retorted, " Let's just get to know eachother first and we shall see." Saul replied, "Ok, What are you doing after work? Do you wanna grab a bite to eat?" "Ok, I would like that."

Saul left me a big tip too, which was the biggest tip I have ever gotten from a customer since I worked there, I was impressed. We walked down the Square to Hi Five Pizza and grabbed a couple slices. Saul told me he liked to smoke trees, so I offered him some after our pizza we fishbowled my 1998 Ford Mustang and talked about anything and everything as we listened to the Fugees. I gave him my number and we set up a following date.
