Someone knocked on the door scaring John who took care of Julius while Alex and Olivia had left, the baby gave a little work, but it was tolerable and could bear there were worse Julius children that he was sure. He walked to the door and opened to see Alex.
"Come in, I'll get the bag." - John said walking up to the second floor to get the bag that Olivia left with diapers, talcum powder and ointments for the baby, took the bag and went downstairs watching Alex play with the baby, stopped to see the scene, that's how he imagined when Alex had the baby, in that little moment he imagined the perfect life with her, that little baby being his son with Alex and she standing there with him.
-John! They scare at Alex's scream.
-What?
-You were standing there looking at nothing, all right?
-Of course, nothing much just turned off a little. Here is the bag.
-Thank you ... John did you call Rose? -John sighed, again that.
-I'll call.
"That has been two weeks." Alex said taking out his cell phone and handing it to John. -Call her.
"Alex".
"Come on or I'll hit you." Threatened the now rosy blonde, Alex could dye her hair white that John would find her the most beautiful person in the world. John sighed in annoyance and went to get the paper Rose handed him with his number, then returned and pulled the phone from Alex's hand at once, to demonstrate his enormous desire to call the woman.
He dialed the number, clicked on and put the phone to his ear waiting for the young woman to answer, the tension taking over John, he did not know if that number was really hers he hoped it was and it was not, but would only know his true reaction when the person answers the phone.
-Hello. -John caught, knew that voice, was really Rose and surprised even more with what he was feeling now, was glad it was her.
-Hello, Rose? He asked to make sure it was her.
-Who is talking? She asked suspiciously.
"This is John, the guy you met ..."
-The profiteer. She cut. "How did you get my number?"
"You gave it to me that night." Look, I wanted to tell you that ...
"Do we use condoms?" -Rose asked and John shut up to make sure he heard right.
-What?
-Look I've been worried for two weeks because I still do not remember anything that happened that night, the only thing I know is that we had sex, only I'm afraid of getting pregnant ...
"We don't have sex." -John cut her already tired of this problem.
-What?
"We don't have sex." John confirmed again, leaving Rose in shock. She had done this whole scene for nothing, felt more ashamed than before.
-There. My. God. As I'm stupid, sorry John is that ... oh my God I didn't have sex. -Rose celebrated not paying attention that John listened to everything.
-Rose. Called John.
-Oh! The phone is still on, John I'm sorry for what I did to you that day ... but I'm really curious to know ... you know ... what happened. We can go drink at Jack's bar where you started and you tell me what really happened.
John was surprised by the request, did not imagine she would do it, thought she would just hang up in your face ... it is apparently she was right, she was a good person.
"Wonderful, what time?" He asked excitedly, that had improved his mood, looked at Alex remembering she was here and made a thumbs up for her that smiled in response, she as always being an amazing friend to him.
–Today at 19:00.
-I'll see you there. He hung up the phone and smiled at Alex who celebrated.
"Got a date?"
-Yeah ... thanks Alex.
-Friend is for these things, now give me the cell phone I need to go back before Olivia gives a shit.
He handed it over and opened the door for Alex, went upstairs to the bedroom to play some of his guitar.
Boe's Bar 19:00 p.m.
He entered the establishment and looked around the place for Rose, but did not find her soon thought he arrived too early, at least that was what he wanted to believe, since when he left home thought about the possibility of giving her a cake and never again talk to her because he certainly wouldn't go after her, and if by any chance he met her again he'd throw her in the face again what she had done to him embarrassing her again. He looked at the clock at 7:02 pm If it was 7:30 pm and if it did not arrive it would go away and by itself would end it; He observed the movement of the bar, was very crowded and rightly liked this bar the last time he came here.
19:15 p.m.
John ordered a beer and took it without haste, spent 15 minutes, normal, woman is usually late getting ready, Lisa took time to get ready when they left did not see the reason when they were drunk she was all over, but did not complain, let.
19:25 p.m.
She must be thinking he didn't come, she must be undecided about coming, maybe he should call to say she was here would be a good one ... no, leave it to her, she called.
19:30 p.m.
It was already finishing the second beer, it is 19:30 pm and she did not show up that was, would ask the bill and go away, did his part and said what should be said; He heard hurried footsteps and turned to see the desperate, it was Rose.
Ymhymhymhymh
Shit! She was budgeting for this month and found a lot of missing bill holes and one of them was the rent, could not take it from his food would starve so would land the landlord, seeing that it was 19:00 bathed fast put on a simple outfit and left the apartment.
-Rose. Heard the voice of the person who least wanted to see at that moment, the landlord.
"Mr. Foreman!" - exclaimed Rose pretending surprise, he was a short chubby, very annoying, but he was good people when he wanted what was very rare.
"I came here to ask you to pay the rent, it's past the deadline and you haven't delivered yet."
"Mr. Foreman, these last few days haven't been very good, I lost my job so I'm definitely out of money, but I promise I can pay later."
-Two days. He said what made Rose angry.
-Two days?! How will I find 250 pounds in two days ?! Mr. Foreman please give me a week. -Rose begged because at the moment was the only thing she could do, I mean ... she could kill him, but she was aware of the wrong, but the thought goes through her mind every day.
-I'm sorry is the most I can give, if others know that I smoothed for you they will want to have the same right and can not let it happen. - He replied and left leaving Rose alone and in desperation, two weeks ago that he started working for Jack, knew that getting another job like Henrik's would be difficult so decided to pout at the bar of Jack who gladly accepted the help, only not enough money yet.
She ran out of the apartment and decided to take a cab because she didn't know when a bus would pass, Jack's bar wasn't far, but she couldn't walk, she arrived at the establishment and went straight to Jack to explain why.
"Sorry, I promise you won't repeat." -Rose apologized putting the apron.
-You took 30 minutes ?! What the hell happened? Jack asked talking with his spare time before answering another table, God! Did it take so long?
-The landlord was collecting the rent I had to explain my situation, but I promised to pay in two days, can you pay me in advance? I swear I work for you on Sunday. -Rose begged with desperation in his voice, needed the money.
-Okay, at least try to serve these customers today, it's very busy today.
"You're ten Jack." - She said giving a huge smile, she had a beautiful smile.
"I thought we would talk today." -John pronounced calling the attention of Rose who remembered that had called him to talk thinking that would not have so much work, well ... she was wrong.
-John! You came, we will talk don't worry I'll fix it. - She said taking two bottles, one of tequila and another of vodka and ran to answer two tables, leaving John alone.
"Do you need another mate?" -Jack asked John who denied, Alex would be proud of him. Rose never said a word to him, the more time passed the more people came along with requests, Rose was to create six arms and four legs so that she walked and took drinks, seeing this rose decided and went to one of the tables that trying to get Rose's attention, it was a group of women.
"So, what do you want for tonight?" - John said with his charming style which made everyone go crazy for him at the time, he was irresistible, they ordered four beers, he ran to the corner of the counter where he was and without problems, took an apron and went to the Freezer.
-What are you doing? -Rose spoke calling your attention.
"Four beautiful girls ordered beer at that table over there." He said pointing. "And I, as a good helper, will serve you."
"Are you helping?" - Rose asked not believing what that guy was doing.
"Yes, so we can talk, you need help and I'll help you." -Rose was shocked by what was happening that complete stranger, yes she still considered him so, was giving him a strength, a great help, just to talk to her.
-Okay, wow ... can helping to serve the tables, the bill is in my charge, Jack will thank. And me too, Rose thought, grabbing beers as well and running to meet two couples. John grabbed the 4 beers and returned to the table.
-Here they are. He said placing the drinks on the table.
"Could you tell if you come for a toast?" One of the girls asked and he smiled seductively.
"I could, but I'm busy right now." -He went out and went to meet others.
When Rose could decide to focus on John, the guy really surprised her, if he wasn't helping out with four tables they would be lost and the way he served customers only, the man was unrolled and a little crazy but the customers were pleased . The flow had already slowed a lot, she looked at the clock at 9:30 pm, damn time went flying, Rose thought, she realized that a group of girls were trying to get John's attention taking notes from a large group of people, decided to take care of the table while he was busy.
"What do you need?" Rose asked politely.
"We want to ask the handsome waiter over there, he's our private waiter." Said one of the women Rose thought to be twenty years intoxicated.
"I'm sorry, but the handsome waiter is busy so you can ask me to serve them until he becomes available." She said neutrally.
"But we want the handsome guy over there, not a dull one." The other girl complained and automatically Rose took a deep breath, her patience worn out.
"At the moment the customer is not having a choice, you might notice that we are in great demand today and so you can't have the waiter you want, so ask them what they want or leave." -Rose spoke extremely annoyed and wiggling in the voice not to scream.
"You think you can treat us like that, it's just a little waitress." The girl who asked for John scoffed.
–You will see who is ...
"Girls called for me?" - John came with her smile and charming style, Rose found his style with all those strings and bracelets and his glued pants that delineated his butt well, she wanted to have a style, but she was more bland than beige panties.
"Um, this little waitress wanted to take your seat, but he's all yours." - Said another girl completely hitting him, Rose rolled her eyes with such shamelessness and left without saying anything, John just watched.
After an hour the bar was almost empty, the girls were gone to Rose's relief, and there was only a group of four men and two guys standing alone on the counter, the group being served by Jack, who was free while the men were gone. customer finished the drinks.
"Hell, I never made so much profit on a Friday." Thanks Rose for helping me, you're being a hand on the wheel and you ... damn I don't even know how to thank you for your help was totally unexpected, but welcome, if you want to pay you ...
-No, no need, just did it to help Rose, we planned to talk tonight and as I saw that she could not decide to help. -John blocked Jack blinking in astonishment, he looked at Rose and smiled.
-Okay then, John right? You can wait for her out there, I'll just settle her payment and she'll be free for you. - Jack answered pulling Rose, John nodded and went towards the exit.
"You can't calm down, can you?" Jack said with a dirty smile.
-What are you talking about? Said Rose, not understanding.
-You already hooked that delight right? And he is a gentleman, rotten finger provided this time.
-Jack I'm not catching him, we will only talk about what happened the night two weeks ago. - Rose explained trying to calm the nerves of the friend.
"You were very crazy that day." Jack said, smiling.
"Where's the money?" Rose asked evading the subject.
-Here it is. Thanks princess, I hope everything works out for you. Jack said handing over a fat sum to Rose.
"I thank you for helping me out at these times." Bye Jack, I love you. - said goodbye.
-Also love you blonde, take care and do not wake up in his bed again without knowing what happened.
"Screw you, Jack." - Swore Rose making Jack laugh, but stopped watching one of the customers call him.
"So ready to go?" Rose asked approaching John.
"Sure, tell me where you want to go, I'm in the car."
"Did we drive to your house, drunk?" -Rose asked not believing.
"We didn't walk and I forgot my car here. -John answered by unlocking the car doors. "So where to?"
Big Burguer 22:40
Rose sighed at the taste of potato chips in her mouth as she missed eating those delights, Rose wanting to take advantage of the situation decided the Big burger as the place of conversation.
"It's nice, isn't it?" Rose asked, seeing John's face of satisfaction as she ate her portion of chips.
"Yes, you have good taste in chips."
"It's my favorite food." -John looked at her surprised.
"Is french fries your favorite food?" Rose nodded. -Wow.
"Anyway what happened after you called me?" -The brunette asked being straightforward
-Well, we had a vodka drink dispute and from what your friend commented you would be sick because you were drinking tequila which not a good combination, after we drank a lot we were already crazy enough to go to a strip club -tease, we were in a car we completely forgot that I had my car which resulted in it being abandoned in front of Jack's bar, getting there we didn't even pay attention to the women doing poly dance, well the women don't, but we paid a little attention, I I kissed the girl who was with me and the other couple caught up.
"And where was I?"
"Dancing on the stage." - John said putting another potato, Rose almost chokes on the soda.
-My God I was doing striptease, you did not take me there why?
-Well, I took it when you shouted saying you were not feeling well, I approached to pick you up and well ... you vomited on my shirt. -The brunette's face flushed at the time, was too embarrassed for one night.
-Excuse. She answered awkwardly
-Okay I had a thick jacket, at the time I just had the shirt so it was just take off the shirt and put the coat, well you loved it when I took off the shirt, but finally I fell asleep and woke up with you calling me saying I wanted to leave so we went.
-On foot?
-Yes, the people decided to stay there, we bet race because I was very sleepy.
-We ran? How do we not fall?
-Yeah we fell, I hit a pole making me smart and you went rolling down a street and ended up vomiting again, you were laughing too much, we continued walking and stopped in a place where the sky was beautiful and looked at the stars . -John decided not to tell that all this they did hand in hand.
"How do we get to your house?"
-I called a friend and she located me, she took us to my house. We came into my house and you kissed me I gladly accepted, but you let me go and started dancing and I went into your vibe, it was really cool, out of nowhere you stopped dancing and said you were hungry I released the kitchen to you and I went to the bedroom to take off my coat, I fell on the stairs. - He commented smiling remembering what happened. -It didn't take long you came crying saying you were the unluckiest person on earth, well started to moan and I listened to you about what was tormenting you.
"What did I say?" - Rose asked nervously, was afraid of what she could have said to him, ok she would rather have had sex with him if not to tell her life.
"About your breakup and your boss who fired you." - He said sincerely what gave relief to the brunette, she smiled.
"Thanks for listening to me."
-Always, after he vented to me he said he was hot and took off his pants and bra, lay on my bed and slept taking me along.
"Do we sleep clinging?" -Rose asked surprised.
"That's what I remember." I was not in good condition either.
Rose was dumb with the man's report, how lucky she was that she was with this guy and didn't have a night she could regret, the night was totally fun to be seen and at that moment she wanted to remember that, but surely would not repeat the dose. They had finished the potatoes with soda.
"Come on, I'll take you home." John said calling the waiter.
"You don't have to do any of that."
-Look I heard your conversation with Jack and I know what is going on, let me make this help to you as a friend. -Rose's heart warmed, how kinder was this my father? No Rose, not in this guy's chivalry, you saw him hitting on the women over at the bar and he accepted the card from one of them he's just being kind.
John paid for the lunch and they drove off, John started the car and Rose drove him home, it wasn't long before he reached his destination.
-Thank you for everything.
-Always here and Rose ... about what those women said at the bar, it's not true, that job is not for anyone and I find you amazing for performing so well.
Damn John! Thought Rose.
- Bye John. - Rose said getting out of the car.
"Bye Rose and I hope to go out with you again."
-You have my number. She said before closing the car door and entering the building.
