Jeez.
A customer spill beer on the bar, for the third time this night, and I tell him to leave.
He refuses, and looses his temper for a bit, but I suddenly get unexpected backup.
Reno.
Who'd have thought Reno, that jerk of a Turk, would be my knight in shining armour?
Well, maybe not knight, but at least some kind of hero.
"Ey man, get lost before you hurt yourself."
He's sitting leaned to the wall by a table near the bar with a beer in his left hand.
The man turns to Reno and walks unsteady towards him.
I can't help it, but I'm actually really glad Reno is here tonight.
It has been so many people here, and I am exhausted.
I have no energy left to protect myself if the customers become violent while they are drunk, which happen like… every hour.
Not violent every hour though… Just drunk…Uhm…
You get it.
Reno had removed many of them for me.
But then there's always one man.
One man to ruin the evening.
"Talkinta meh?" he says with a strong breath of whisky.
Reno gets to his feet, and stares at him with intense, sleepy eyes.
He has been drinking only two beers tonight. He uses to have five, so he seems much more human without all the alcohol affection.
Reno isn't the man I usually think of as handy or handsome, or even sexy, but tonight, he really is.
Especially with those eyes… Wow.
He put his beer down on the table and walks threatening towards the man.
It seems like that, luckily, was all the man needed to go, because he quickly backs away and leaves.
I smile "thank you" to Reno.
He's not smiling back; he's just… looking at me with the same intense, sleepy eyes and nodding weakly, before turning back to his beer and sits down.
My heart jumps, and to my own surprise, I blush.
I start to clean up the bar, and watch Reno in the corner of my eye.
He seems so depressed, and he's not usually depressed. He's always noisy and annoying!
This depressed side of him is so… - I hate to say - beautiful.
I like it, although I don't know if I like liking it…
When the bar is clean, I walk over and sit down on the opposite side of him, leaning towards him.
Reno looks at me.
"I just wanted to…"
"..thank me, I know."
He cut me off…!
"Everyone thank me. I'm Reno, God of Goodness!"
He toasts with himself and takes one big sip of the beer.
I giggle, and sigh when I stand up.
"How long are you staying tonight?" I ask on my way to the bar.
He's watching my butt; I know he does, because he's just mumbling.
"Uhm, naah, I don't know… Need a few more beers ya know."
"You sure that's so good for you?" I say and turn around, face to him, and catch his eyes staring at my lower body.
It's actually very cute.
The funny thing is that he doesn't seem to have noticed that I've turned around.
That, or my front looks very much like my butt, which would be… bad…
Either way, he didn't get what I just said.
I say in a seductive, low voice;
"Reeenoo?"
His eyes look up at me.
They're trying to say something to me, but I can't hear it.
They are speaking to me, but I can't understand the language.
God, it's totally frustrating!
Reno stands up and walks towards me.
I don't know if I'm scared or surprised.
Not breaking the eye contact we have, he lays his right hand on my shoulder, and I feel myself shiver.
The strangest feeling goes through my body as he strokes his hand up along my neck to my ear.
I can see him leaning closer, probably to kiss me, and I'm ok with it.
I'm ok with Reno kissing me!
The world won't stand till Easter!
I'm getting ready to the kiss by starting to close my eyes, as he leans towards my ear and whisper:
"You…"
His left hand is now on my waist, and he's slowly caressing it down to my butt.
My heartbeat increases.
"…have the world's finest ass."
He squeezes my butt, and it feels really good, but it's not what I hoped AT ALL.
With a little regret, I push him away.
Reno laughs short and walks back to his table, where he finishes his beer and turn to me.
"You though I was gonna kiss you, weren't ya?"
I blush.
He makes another short laugh and turns to go.
I walk after him, and catch up by the door, and when he turns around to face me, I kiss him.
Yes, on the lips.
And it's good.
Reno looks really surprised though, but returns the kiss gladly.
After a few moments, I break the kiss, and look down on the floor.
Reno giggles, and says:
"I knew you wanted me."
He smiles and walks out the door of Seventh Heaven.
