Trailing a finger on his arm as she walked past, she winked and heard the others laughing and talking in Spanish as she left the room to go check the setup sheet. After getting set up, Sam went to her section and started to check on the guests and start her shift. After making a round, she saw Tracy talking with a sandy-haired new girl, wearing a green top and looking really excited to be there. Beckoning her over, Tracy introduced her.
“Samantha, this is Jessie Marks, she’s working her first shift today,” Tracy said.
“Nice to meet you,” Sam said, shaking the girl’s hand.
“You too!” Jessie said happily. “I’m so excited to get started!”
Sam immediately took a liking to the girl and her enthusiasm, but desperately hoped that it didn’t get old. She had to admit that the girl was really pretty, and the perkiness of her attitude matched the perkiness of her top.
“If you wouldn’t mind letting her shadow you for a couple of hours, I would appreciate it,” Tracy said.
“Of course,” Sam replied with a nod.
Jessie grinned widely, waving as Tracy turned to leave.
“Have you ever been a waitress before?” Sam asked.
The new girl shook her head.
“Not a big deal,” Sam said. “I’m in this section over here.”
She began to talk about the general duties that she performed, and the young woman listened intently. After making a round with Jessie standing close and watching, Sam went and stood by the waitress station for a minute.
“So, what did you do before this?” she asked.
The new girl looked at her pleasantly. “Oh, I worked in a law office as a temp. My boss was really nice and sweet but couldn’t really afford to pay me anymore.”
“And what brought you here?” Sam asked.
“Oh, well… honestly, it was the idea of being able to show off a bit,” she said. “I’m a huge exhibitionist and I just… really love the feeling I get when people notice me.”
Sam giggled. “Well, you’ll fit in fine here,” she said. “Did they tell you that your boyfriend won’t be allowed to come in while you’re working?”
Jessie nodded, frowning. “That’s okay though,” she said. “I get to see him a ton.”
“Cool,” Sam replied. “So, do you have any questions so far?”
“Yes!” she said. “I didn’t really want to ask a manager and risk getting in trouble, but I’ve been curious about a few things.”
Sam looked at her, her interest piqued. “Well, don’t be shy,” she said with a wink.
“Gosh, never,” Jessie replied. “So, how handsy are we allowed to let the customers get?” she asked.
Laughing easily, Sam looked around to make sure none of the managers were around before answering.
“The company answer is none at all,” she said. “But you’re going to have folks taking liberties and grabbing things that they shouldn’t,” she said. “If you have a problem with it, you can let the managers know and they’ll put a stop to it. As long as you’re not allowing anything really inappropriate and it’s just a grabbed boob or butt slap, it’s not a big deal.”
Jessie snapped her fingers as if she’d just remembered something. “Oh, and they also mentioned a topless section in the evening?”
Sam nodded. “There’s a few girls that work it every night. After 6, we’re allowed to sell the top for $50 for a half hour, or $100 for a full hour.”
“Wow,” Jessie replied. “People pay that?”
“God yes,” Sam said. “It’s a little ridiculous. I work the Friday and Saturday shifts in one of the rooms and there are some nights that I don’t have a top on from 6 until closing.”
Jessie grinned. “Oh, that sounds so awesome!”
Sam snickered. “Well, that’s a good attitude to have about it.”
“I hope they ask me to do it!” the enthusiastic newcomer bubbled.
“Well, you can always ask to be put on the list of girls that don’t mind working it,” Sam told her.
Jessie nodded. “That’s awesome, I think I will!”
They then went about checking on their guests, and, after a couple of hours, Sam found that she really liked the new girl. Besides being ridiculously cute and funny, she was really sweet and endearing to boot. She almost began to feel a little pervy around her when she caught herself admiring the incredible body the new girl had.
Eventually, Tracy came around and fetched her, and Sam chuckled as Jessie came and hugged her.
“It was so good to meet you and thank you so much for showing me the ropes!” As Jessie hugged her, Sam was surprised at how affectionate the young woman was.
“You’re welcome. I hope you enjoy it.”
Jessie waved excitedly and turned, heading back with Tracy as Sam continued on with her day.
That evening, a familiar face came back, following Paris to a table in Sam’s section. Taking a tray of drinks over to one of her tables, she saw Brandon from class coming in with a pretty girl at his side. Sam dropped the drinks off and made the rounds, ending up at the new table with him and his date.
“Hey guys,” she said. “I’m Sam,” she said, waving at the young woman.
“Hey Sam,” he said, tossing her a wave. “This is my girlfriend, Zoey.”
“Hey,” Zoey said, looking over at her. The young woman had an odd expression on her face.
Sam nodded and saw that Zoey was staring a little too long. It dawned on her then, that the pretty young woman was attracted to her.
“It’s nice to meet you,” Sam said.
“Oh, yes, it is!” Zoey replied.
She turned a little red when it registered that she’d been staring, which Sam couldn’t help but find endearing.
“So, did Brandon tell you that I’m in a class with him?” she asked.
Zoey nodded quickly. “Yes, I mean… I know… I knew that… already.”
Sam giggled, finding the young woman adorable. She was small and mousy, with light-brown, shoulder-length hair and a slight frame, with an absolutely gorgeous pair of green eyes.
“Brandon, you have an absolutely delightful girlfriend,” she said, looking over at her. “I can’t believe that you’re dating someone as adorable as she is.”
“Hey…” he said, grinning. “I told you before, the dimples are what gets the girls.”
Sam rolled her eyes. “Okay… so… what can I get you guys to drink?”
Zoey, still staring a little longer than she realized, then blushed and said, “Oh! Right, drinks.”
Sam giggled. “I can come back in a second if you like,” she said, amused.
“No!” she replied a little too quickly, but then blushed even more.
“That might be a good idea,” Brandon said, looking at his girlfriend in confusion. “Thanks, Samantha.”
“Sam,” she corrected, winking at the two of them. “Alright guys, I’ll be back around in a bit,” she told the two.
Turning, Sam stopped at the next table, but overheard Brandon ask her, “What the hell is the matter with you?”
All she heard of Zoey’s response was, “… can’t help it… she’s hot!”
Snickering to herself, she went about her business and made another round, then came back to the two. This time, the couple had their drink and food order, and Sam took them, still getting the adorable stares from the young woman as she wrote everything down.
“Alright,” she said, gathering up the menus. “I’ll get this put in and be right back with your drinks!”
A few minutes later, she went back and dropped off their sodas, then surprised Zoey by sliding down into the seat next to her.
“So, I’m just curious, but do you know that your boyfriend likes to flirt?” she asked, leaning in close to Zoey and looking at her while she spoke.
The young woman looked at her shyly, but nodded. “He’s pretty incorrigible,” she said, finally seeming to be able to form coherent sentences. “I’m sorry I was so… blah, earlier,” the young woman said, twirling her fingers around her head and making the sign for crazy. “You’re just… so pretty.”
“Oh, thank you so much,” Sam said as the cutie laughed nervously. “You are definitely too cute for this dork.”
“Thank you,” Zoey said, giggling adorably, but still nervous and blushing. “He told me that there was a knockout in one of his classes, but he didn’t really do you justice. You are…. so gorgeous.”
“Gosh, you’re so adorable,” Sam said. “I might just steal you from him and his stupid dimples.”
Zoey grinned, and the two turned to laugh at his expense. Sam wasn’t surprised to see him grinning widely.
“What are you so happy about?” she asked.
“My plan is coming together nicely is all,” he said, shrugging.
“Plan?” she asked, looking back at Zoey.
The young woman blushed and leaned in close, cupping her hand to Sam’s ear and whispered, “He wants to have… well… me… and you…”
Sam laughed out loud, then turned and sighed at him. “Oh… that. Boys,” she said, shaking her head and rolling her eyes at Zoey. The young woman giggled, nodding. “What makes you think I’d be into that?”
Brandon rolled his eyes. “Whatever,” he said. “She knows about this morning, Sam. Even if you aren’t into girls, I had to take a chance for someone as gorgeous as you with someone as gorgeous as my girlfriend!”
Sam’s expression didn’t change as she stared at him, ignoring the comment that was built to win her to his side.
“Oh, that’s right,” she said, turning to look at the adorable young woman. “Brandon told me that you really liked that video.”
Zoey turned even more red and lowered her gaze in embarrassment, but Sam couldn’t help but find it even more adorable.
“Don’t be embarrassed by that,” she said.
