Andi Hood stood at the bar enjoying her third night in Charming, the place was fairly empty, which wasn't surprising since it was a Tuesday night. She took in the people that were there. A group of woman, most likely moms, a few businessmen, and in the corner a group of semi-rowdy bikers. Andi wasn't one to judge, none of the groups made her uncomfortable, she was there just to enjoy a few drinks, and get to know the area.
She felt a presence standing next to her, she glanced up, to see a giant of a man looking down at her like she was a piece of candy. Rolling her eyes, she didn't hesitate. "May I help you."
"I was wondering if I could buy you a drink?"
"What's your name?"
"Opie..."
"Well Opie, does it look like I can't afford my own drink?"
"No...I"
"I'd like to thank you."
"Thank me?"
"Yes, thank you on behalf of all woman across the world, that would like to come out and just drink on their own. Thank you for thinking that we need some macho, big strong man to buy us drinks, and make us feel better about being alone. Let me clue you in on a little secret, are you listening Opie?"
The tall man, was turning red, she didn't know if it was from anger or embarrassment. "Ummmm..."
"Sometimes when a women is standing at a bar drinking alone...we want to be alone. So please do me a favor, and go back to your little biker boys. And leave me the fuck alone."
He turned and walked away from her, she heard the table of men giving him a hard time, she sort of felt bad about it but not enough to go over and apologize. She paid her bar tab, then she was hit with a bit of inspiration, she caught the waitress that was waiting on the bikers. She sent a beer over to the tall biker, she wrote a note on a napkin.
Thanks for playing, better luck next time.

She left the bar, before she could see his or his friends reaction.

Opie felt the sting of the little brunettes rejection, with heels she was barley chest eyes. Her eyes were gray. She had curves in all the right places, he and his brothers took bets on if he could get to sleep with him. She'd put him in his place, in a heartbeat, it had fascinated him, how she cut him down not being intimidated by his cut or size.
Her mouth lured him in, he really wanted to lean down and kiss her during her diatribe, she had beautiful plump lips. He was afraid she'd bite his tongue off he made the attempt, the surprise came when she sent him a beer over with a note. Maybe he did make an impression on her after all, he'd have to find out who she is, and track her down. It didn't bother him, he was out a wad of cash.

"Good morning Charming, it's 78 degrees this morning, with a chance of thunderstorms this afternoon. This is AJ and Frankie in the mornings on Charming's only classic radio station Z98. Here's a little White Snake to help you get your Wednesday started."
Andi leaned back in the chair, thinking about the biker she'd insulted last night, not her smartest move but that was the story of her life. It started three years ago when she married her asshole of a husband, that came crashing down around her after a year in a half. He loved drugs and hookers more then her, so she divorced him, and went half way across the country.
Her cousin helped her move out here and start over, once the divorce was final and she had the money to start over. She didn't want to be in debt to anyone, the radio station was looking for a new DJ, and was happy to hire her. She had the next three songs prompted and ready to play, she smiled when she saw her phone light up. It was a text from her cousin Tara.
Come by the house and meet my family tonight! Dinner at six."
She hadn't met Tara's husband or boys yet, even though she had things she needed to do that night she agreed. Andi smiled at her co-host Frankie as the last of the song block ended. They had already worked the next bit, into their show, earlier.
"So what did you do last night AJ?"
"I went to this bar, last night and this jolly green giant of a man tried to pick me up."
"I take it didn't go over so well?"
"Let's just say the jolly one fell!"
"Does this giant one have a name?"
"I could share it for all of Charming to know his shame, but I'm being nice today. It's 9:30 am, I'm dedicating this to the jolly green giant from last night, if you're listening you know who you are. Rolling Stones, I Can't Get No.

The entire garage was silent, and staring at Opie, who was again red faced . He started laughing, soon the others joined in, Chibs walked over, slapping him on the back.
"Holy shit, that girl has some balls.'
"Juice! Does Z98 have a website? Get me information on this new DJ!"
