Chapter 3: Hard Luck
Alyssa walked into the dimly lit atmosphere of J's Bar, the slight smell of alcohol and peanuts filled her senses, her vision blurred slightly, partly due to the fact that she was still upset about losing her job and that her eyes were adjusting to the sudden lack of light. She trudged to a lone barstool and sat down with a thud.
She rubbed her temples and brushed a few blonde stray strands of hair away from her face. She couldn't believe what was going on here she had lost her job...how? The old lady said I would die alone, that I came across as a mean snobbish person...Bullshit.
I'm the nicest person you'll ever meet.... She frowned partially at that statement she had made to herself. Ok, maybe not the nicest but...I'm not mean intentionally...Sometimes...I just can't help what I say.
She suddenly remembered the whole Jerry situation, and slightly pounded her hand on the table. Let's also not forget how we treated that plumber. Her conscious kicked at her
"Bartender!" She groaned, annoyed with herself. She was met with the cheerful, expressive face of Will, he did a double take.
"A-Alyssa...Ashcroft?" Will questioned, unable to make her face out in the dim light.
Alyssa looked at him, then rolled her eyes. The guy said my name like I was a star or super celebrity or something...I sure don't feel like a star...more like a bag of manure.
"Hey, I really don't wanna hear the: "Oh I read all of your columns"spiel". Just give me something hard...I don't care what it is as long as it's strong enough to make me "forget" my problems." Alyssa explained to Will, she already to seemed have this natural high going for her...probably from self-pity.
Will was kind of taken aback, so the rumors were true about Ms. Ashcroft...she was a bitch...but hey she had money so he was going to treat her well.
"Well, alrighty then, I'll be right back with your drink." Will wasn't one to question people's actions, I mean he worked in a bar people did stupid stuff all the time ... so he went about his business.
What a dandy life I live...god....I've never been this down before, My egos had been shot in half...I've been slapped in the face and shown the light...but I'm not ready for the light. I liked my sheltered life. Being pushed out so suddenly isn't exactly what I planned for today.
It's one of those days were you need someone to talk to...someone who will care, I guess that's why I'm sitting here alone...no family...no friends...no nothing....just me a crushed ego and my good ol friend alcohol.
Honestly she hadn't drank in quite sometime after college, but in this stage of the game alcohol never seem to be an infidel when it came to Alyssa's problems. She hadn't had so many before and now it was crashing down, tenfold.
Will arrived with her drink, if you wanted to call it that, more like a concoction, different combinations of alcohol thrown together. Alyssa took the glass and gave a nod to Will.
"Well, here's to my washed up life." Alyssa gave her cheers and drank.

David yawned slightly and removed the bothersome rubber band that held his hair together, letting the sorrel locks fall from their constraint. He relaxed on the employee lounge's couch, the thing might've been old but it was sure comfortable. What a great time for a nap...but well that ain' t gonna happen, still got shit to do. David reminded himself and frowned, he wanted to take a nap damnit.
Sam entered the room and smiled at David, he gave a dazed nod.
"Aww hard day huh?" Sam, pretty much stated the obvious there.
"Yeah...and I still got more to do." David yawned again, he gave a stretch and his muscles stood to attention, his mocha colored hair falling back behind his shoulders. Sam scratched her head and took a few glances before he was finished stretching.
"What else do you have to do?" She questioned.
"Gotta go back to the land of Silver pipes." David explained.
"Silver pipes? Oh! The woman from this morning? Shessh, what else needs to be done?" Sam queried
"Aren't you full of questions? Well, her pipes were busted, came back her to get some supplies and I've gotta go back to put the new pipes in." David explained hastily, he wasn't one to go into details.
"Hmm...how was she?" Sam asked
"Huh?" David had to snap to attention on that one.
"You know, was she as bad a Frank said? Or...Oh...what were you thinking about?" Sam smiled and chuckled at David's bewildered expression.
"Uh...well...next time you ask a question you should complete it." David was trying to find any kind of excuse to cover up his naughty thoughts, but hey when you've suffered a withdraw from sex you can't help but think that way...believe me I should know =p.
"Yeah, yeah. Was she pretty?" Sam asked, Her brown eyes lit up at the "pain" she was causing David.
"Again with these questions, don't; you have somewhere to be?" David was beginning to get irritated and he wasn't hiding it either.
"Uh oh, I struck a nerve huh? Is that why your going back to her house? Oooh Davie's gonna fix a leak alright....or rather create one." Sam laughed at her joke and had to lean against the wall for support.
David's lips curled into sneer, he didn't see anything funny damnit...so what if he hadn't had any sex in....awhile...;; that wasn't his fault...ok maybe some of it was his fault but all the same he didn't like sitting here getting mocked about it.
Sam wiped a tear away from her eyes, and took a breath of air after having been laughing so hard.
"So when are you going back to her place?" Sam smiled.
"5:00 and that's the last goddamn question I'm answering." David abruptly got up form the couch and swiped his tool belt which was dangling from a near by chair.
Sam laughed, "Well you better get a move on it Casanova, it's already 4:45."
David looked at her and proceeded to the exit of the employee's lounge.
"Go to hell Sam." He sneered and left the room,
"I love you too Davie." She chuckled, and sat down in the now vacant spot where David once sat.

"Bartender, hit me up again." Alyssa's speech slurred a bit.
"UH are you sure Ms. Ashcroft maybe you-
"I know when to ...stop drinkin...now come one...another one let's move." Alyssa ordered, even when she was drunk she couldn't help but order people around that's our Alyssa.
Will wasn't even about to argue with her, he left to get the drink as ordered to. All in all he was getting paid that's all that mattered.

"Hello?" David knocked on the door for the second time, but no one answered.
"Come...on." He knocked again, nothing.
Well, this is great, just waste my freakin day why don't you lady....I could just break open the lock...nah that's all I need, is to be arrested for breaking and entering. Well, I guess the rest of the day is free...might as well go get a drink before headin home.
David took his leave, and retired back to his truck.

"So she tells me....I'm goin to die alone...da old bat, she just mad cause she's not as prettiful as me...and the last time she saw some action was 1776." Alyssa was prattling on to the helpless Will, who had found himself in this odd conversation with Alyssa. See that's what he got, he should've kicked her out when she was still half sober.
"Well, I'm one to talk...just between you and me...." Alyssa grabbed Will's head and whispered; a goofy expression plastered on her face.
"I haven't had an orgasm since I was 22..." She broke into a hysteria.
"Uh...Ms Ashcroft?-
"That's right! That's right! I am ALyssa ASHcroft!" She stumbled and then stood on top of near by table, which unfortunately was harboring two individuals, who were enjoying their meal.
"Excuse me, Ma'am could please get off-" The young man tried to calm her down, but to no avail.
"HEY! I'm Alyssa Ashcroft! You can't speak to me that way!" Alyssa stumbled and snatched the bottle of champagne they were sharing. The young woman stared ay Alyssa menacingly then at her date who gave her a shrug.
"You mind?' Alyssa smiled and drank from the bottle as if it were Gatorade or something.
Cindy Lennox, looked at her antics and whispered to WiIl.
"She's worst than Kevin eh?" She giggled.
Will nodded, not too many could beat Kevin but here she was. Will thought that maybe he could go calm her down.
"Ms. Ashcroft please get down from there." He tugged at her leg.
"What are you doing! You can't touch me...for I am Alsyssa Ashcroft....journalist extaordinaire!" Alyssa yelled at the top of her lungs and took another swig form the champagne bottle.
David entered J's Bar and had to do a double take.
"What the hell?...Is that-?" He had to question himself
"Well, actually, I'm like not a journalist anymore...YEP! THAT"S RIGHT I got fired, by that old prune Ms, Dio, Ms Digia...Ms...Whatever her damn name is." Alyssa took another swig.
"Ms Ahscroft please." Will pleaded, he didn't wanna get violent with her, he could've done that with Kevin...who was also known for getting drunk and well was a guy...but uh this was a female we were talking about couldn't get too rough.
David shook his head, this was the second time today were he had seen this lady looking foolish, not a very good rep if you ask me. David hesitantly approached the situation, giving Will a sign to not worry about it.
"Hey, lady your causing quite the commotion here, get off the table." David ordered her down.
"Huh? Hey aren't you the plumber guy? What are you doing here? Go back to fixin the toilet or whatever it is that you do." Alyssa giggled and took another swig.
David sneered and grabbed her arm, she snatched it back and gave him a scowl.
"Hey! You still here, get goin" Alyssa waved him off, and laughed to herself.
"Your making an idiot out of yourself, come on!" David took hold of her hand again, this time with a little more strength but once again she snatched it back.
Damn she's a lot stronger than I thought David gave her an impatient look
"Fine, Fine... I can get down on my own." Alyssa speech slurred and she tripped off the tabled and into David's arms.
"Wow, that was fun, lights were everywhere....Hey...are you gonna take me home and give me an orgasm?...Y'know I haven't had one since I was 22." ALyssa laughed her face flushed out from her drunken stage.
David looked at her a bit shocked....
22? Huh? I thought I was bad
He shook his head and Alyssa looked him in the eyes and smiled.
"Wow....you look even better up close." She grinned and then giggled again, the smell of alcohol drifting from her breath to his nose.
David lifted her up and threw her over his shoulder, Alyssa acted as she was on a roller coaster and giggled on annoyingly again.
"David, are you going to be able to handle it?" Cindy asked a little concernd.
"Don't worry I got her." David explained and made his way to the exit.
Well, there goes my drink...must I always be the good-...What the hell?
David felt his back arch in, after Alyssa had oh so wonderfully took a liking to his derriere.
"Mmm...nice and ripe...like grapefruits...or freshly baked bread." Alyssa giggled, and groped him again.
"Hey! Cut it out!" Was all David could really say, his personal space had long been invaded and he couldn't get too upset with her, she was drunk after all. Though he knew and everyone else in the damn bar knew he wasn't really all that upset about it.
The odd couple made there way out of J'd Bar, everyone looking after them.
"She drank our champagne..." The young man pouted.
"Err....Never take me to this place again. The young woman quipped back crossing her arms with a "hmph"

The ride was short, however all this back and forth nonsense was ridiculous, Alyssa was still acting foolish nonetheless. The whole car ride she kept trying to lay on David's lap, uh huh he wanted to take advantage of that particular scenario y'know most guys won't pass up an opportunity for a game of fellatio but his heart wasn't in it, so he kept pushing her up, and keeping her away from his lap.
David put her arm around his neck, and led her to her house, as the two got to her door, Alyssa suddenly began to get quiet.
Finally tired out huh? David thought to himself and searched her pockets, for her house keys.
What he pulled out first though was lockpick set.
"What the hell?...We gotta thief here." David said observing it and then putting it back in her pocket, then reached in again and found her house keys, Alyssa mumbled some incoherently then nestled up against David's shoulder.
...OK... David couldn't help but blush a little bit, he was so close to a woman, and not a bad looking one at that.
Just get her in the house, think with you mind not your babymaker.
David entered the house, and the cold blast from the AC hit him, and made him feel an involuntarily chill. Alyssa trembled slightly and hugged David closer to her. David looked at her and then searched aimless around.
Come on man....Where's her damn bedroom?
David looked around and saw the dinning room which was simple enough and beside it the kitchen, he remembered that her room wasn't too far from the kitchen and began to check the small hallway pass the kitchen.
He finally came across her room and marveled at how privileged she was, all he had was a dingy old apartment, but then again that's all he needed. Turning on the light he led Alyssa to her bed and sat her down, she moaned in protest and grasped at the collar of David's shirt, pulling him towards her, he almost tripped but he did everything in his power to stop that from happening.
Goddamn it woman, I've gotta get out of here David thought as he swiped away her searching hands
She began to stop fidgeting and settled down, David took this opportunity to remove her jacket and shoes, he didn't want her to be terribly uncomfortable call it an instinct I guess. He looked at her sleeping form, her hair delicately caressing her face, her face displaying tranquil thoughts...then again she was drunk after all.
David turned to leave and the turned off the light and proceeded out of her room, until he heard Alyssa's soft voice mumble.
"Good...night..."
David stood there for a second and scratched his head, then a faint smile crossed his features.
"Yeah..night." He answered her back.
When she didn't reply he took his leave and closed the door behind him.
"I need to get the hell out of here, before I do something I regret." David said to himself and shook his head

The morning sun peeked through the window, pretty much blinding Alyssa, her head pounding and a nauseous feeling over whelming her.
"Ugh what the hell happened yesterday?" Her hang over got her scared.
"Oh God, I hope I didn't sleep with anyone...." Alyssa looked to her left of her bed to make sure no lumps where.
All safe phew
Alyssa tried to lift her head, but if felt weighed down, she gave up after the first try, and sighed hard. The sound of rain began to emanate from outside pounding up against the roof it was all very relaxing something Alyssa needed right now.
Alyssa shifted in her bed and yawned, she closed her eyes and soon found herself asleep.
A/N: Aww David came to the rescue, bah, don't take to kindly to that gesture yet there was a reason he did it besides the obvious =/.
