Caritas; Wednesday [03/27].
So, this was Summer's first pollen week while single in three years, so she was thinking thigns could get a little interesting at her Caritas shift that evening.
Good interesting? Bad interesting?
(Even worse. not interesting at all??)
She had no idea, so she was trying not to think about it, or build up any expectations, to keep herself simultaneously prepared for everything and for nothing at all. Which left a pretty big, obnoxious knot in her stomach.
Although that could also just be from working in all-too-close proximity of Tino and the realization that, especially without the 'I have a boyfriend!' shield, that could theoretically happen tonight.
Yeah, okay, she was definitely going to just focus on making drinks and slinging jello and insisting this was an absolutely normal Wednesday night, until something started to look decidedly more advantageous for her.
Well, maybe with a little help from the specials tonight. What? She was nothing if not an opportunist.
Featured Cocktail
Kinky Blow Pop
Featured Jello
Red Headed Slut
Blowjob
Sex on the Beach
Slippery Nipple
Caritas is open!

Re: The Bar - 03/27.
"Please?"
Re: The Bar - 03/27.
She shook her head and started reaching for her cocktail ingredients.
"Well," she said, one of many lines she suspected she'd be repeating tonight, "since you asked so nicely. I was actually going to make one of these for you anyway." Like she always did, shh, not the point. "I think you'll like it. It's very pink."
Re: The Bar - 03/27.
"I do like pink," he said, nodding. "It's busy tonight."
Not surprising. Just worth commenting on.
Re: The Bar - 03/27.
Her roaming eyes went back to Stark with a faint grin and she poured the drink she'd mixed and worked on the garnish, setting it in front of him with a, "Big week for booze, really..."
Re: The Bar - 03/27.
Because Monday and Tuesday had gone well. At least as far as Stark could tell. Sometimes he got these things wrong but he didn't think he had this time.
"This week. Just this one. Thank you."
He watched her watching everyone else with a tiny frown on his face but picked up the glass to try and hide it. He knew how this all worked and he wasn't going to be weird if he could help it, but... there was always that but.
Re: The Bar - 03/27.
And she wasn't going to let awkwardness guilt her into feeling otherwise.
"You're welcome," she chirped at him happily. "Let me know what you think. You know there's definitely plenty more where that came from."
Okay, at this point, she really just couldn't even turn it off, but also, this was just a normal conversation with Stark anyway.
Re: The Bar - 03/27.
"S'good," Stark told her. "I might need another. Or jello? What do you recommend?"
Re: The Bar - 03/27.
"Tough call," she said. "They're all pretty good this time around. I guess it depends...what are you in the mood for?"
Re: The Bar - 03/27.
Why did this have to be difficult? It shouldn't be. Aand things weren't supposed to be serious and he wasn't supposed to be weird but he was always weird and maybe that was why...
"The redheaded slut?" He stumbled over the last word, a little. It felt wrong but he tried to smile to cover it up.
Re: The Bar - 03/27.
But so help her if that little stumble at the end and the attempt to pass it off like it was nothing wasn't somehow both endearing and a little heartbreaking and pulled a those sympathy strings, but, also, like, dammit, Stark....
"That's a good choice," she just said, with a faint smile as she set it down for him. "I think you'd probably like the Blow Job and the Slippery Nipple."
You know what, though? No. She couldn't bring herself to feel too bad about it, he had to know what he was going to be walking into today, right?
Re: The Bar - 03/27.
And he'd known what he might be walking into but he'd also, maybe (definitely) hoped there might be an opportunity to say, jump over the bar or be dragged into the back. Although the night was still young-ish. If he didn't leave early in a mess of feelings and hormones. Or just hormones. Who knew?
"I've liked those before. And sex on the beach." Or at least looking over beaches.
Re: The Bar - 03/27.
After all, Summer did know a certain photographer with blonde spiky hair and a terrible beard that probably owed her some pretty big favors, ahem.
"So you're just batting a thousand on all of 'em, then, huh?" said Summer, quirking a slight grin at him as she shoved the remaining shots across the bar with both hands.
Re: The Bar - 03/27.
"What if I'm striking out?" Look at that! He'd gotten the metaphor right!
Stark gave her a crooked smile and reached for one of the shots at random.
Re: The Bar - 03/27.
Ugh. Monogamy. So cringe right now.
"Well," Summer countered, though there seemed to be a little intrigue over Stark maybe showing up to the plate to play some real fucking ball here, "you do miss one hundred percent of the swings you don't take..."
Re: The Bar - 03/27.
"Do you?" Stark asked, picking up the Blow Job now because this conversation needed whipped cream added.
"I haven't tried any swings tonight, have I? What if..."
Down went the shot, with far more licking of lips than was strictly necessary.
"Last year, when I was here, this week... watching you... all I wanted to do was jump over the bar and kiss you."
Just sharing some information.
Re: The Bar - 03/27.
Revolving fucking door.
(She was definitely forking over some extra tips Tino's way at the end of night for how much covering he was doing for her ass).
She looked at Stark in a very familiar way for a moment.
"What are you thinking about doing now?"
Re: The Bar - 03/27.
He paused, picked up another shot and barely even tasted it on the way down.
"I can wait if I need to. I'd rather not have to."
Re: The Bar - 03/27.
A pause, for dramatic effect.
"You wouldn't have to wait, and you can do whatever the hell you want to me."
Re: The Bar - 03/27.
"Yes." A little more forcefully this time. He didn't take his eye off her as he reached for her wrist.
Re: The Bar - 03/27.
And, swear to god, Kitty, she was going to clean that room thoroughly at some point soon, she promised.
Re: The Bar - 03/27.
"I like private. Lead the way?" Unless she wanted him to go first. He had worn the pants with her in mind, after all. "Or should I?"
