Lil hoisted another box of beers onto the pile. She'd been needing to order more boxes, there were so many patrons these days. she was thinking of hiring another girl. Rachael and Carrie were gold as always, but the new girl just couldn't cut it. She didn't have that knack that Jersey had. Christ, Lil couldn't even remember her name, she was gone that quick. A voice from upstairs interrupted her thoughts. "Hey, there anybody down there?" The voice was male, young, with an Australian accent. "Depends on what you want."
"I'm looking for the owner of Coyote Ugly."
"Bring a case of beers down with you." Moments later, a man walked down the stairs, a box of beers under each arm. He was tall, a dirty blonde, and in excellent shape. "Are you Lil?"
"Yeah." The man both of the boxes so he was holding them under one arm, and held out his hand. "I'm Jack. I hear you're hiring." Lil took one of the boxes, and placed it on the pile. "Thanks, but I've already got a bouncer, and I'm pretty sure Lou's not planning on going anywhere." Jack placed the other box on the pile. "I'm not a bouncer. I'm a barman."
"A barman? Honey, in case you haven't realised, I only hire barwomen."
"And in case you haven't realised, a lot more of your patrons these days don't have a Y chromosone. Besides, I was told by a friend that I was perfect for the job." This was something Lil hadn't heard before. most people who were came for a job needed the money, not because they wanted to. "So who's this friend?"
"He said you knew him. His name is Kevin O'Donell." Yeah, Lil remembered him. He was Jersey's squeeze. Cammie told her that they'd gotten married, moved to Florida. Though she'd never admit it to anyone, Lil thought he was sexy, even had a bit of a crush on him for a while. And after seeing the moves Kevin had pulled on the bar, if he said this guy was perfect for the job, he must be pretty darn good. Lil looked him up and down. He seemed fit enough, at least. "Alright, I'll give you a chance. Be here Friday night at nine. that's when we open." Jack grinned. "I'll be there at eight. Help you open up." Lil smirked. He was enthusiastic, she had to give him that.
