Trick or Treat!

[saucydiva]

In honor of All Hallow’s Eve, I’m inviting trick-or-treaters to my ‘door.’ Comment “trick-or-treat” to this post and…well, you know the drill. Treats can be anything that strikes my fancy (pics of fave actors or pairings, one sentence fics, graphics, a few words why I’m glad to have you on my flist, etc. etc.). The more “houses” to visit the more

Amber couldn't believe how hot Texas was. Her time in Chicago had made her soft, but this visit home reminded her what heat really was. Her tank top was practically molded her to her, so she grabbed an ice cube from her drink and held it to her neck. Returning home was always a strange thing; she'd changed so much since moving across country. When she'd gone to school here, she never went to bars, and now she felt comfortable in them, a bit of home away from home. Home was north, now, by a giant lake surrounded by deep dish restaurants and Cubs fans.

Then she heard someone call the waitress "ma'am" and she knew this was home too, that Chicago was her home but Texas... Texas was her heart.

She was nursing a rum and coke when she heard the bell on the door ring. The bouncer, an overweight, bored-looking fellow who's spent half the afternoon playing with a ketchup bottle, sat straight up and looked more alive than he ever had. And then she saw why- Kip Kippington, head teacher of baseball, had just walked into the bar.

She sat up a little straighter, too. He was so beautiful, a vision. And modest too- she could see people stopping him to shower him with praise for the last season, when he'd been 9-3. Way better than Tuberville, but hardly the wunderkind she'd thought he'd be.

He sat down at a table, but no one was serving him, because the only waitress in the place was stuck with the college kids.

Fortune favors the brave, Amber thought. She downed her drink in one gulp, put on her waitress voice, and went over to him.

"I'll have a 512 Pecan Porter," he said with a grin, checking her out. She flushed a little under his gaze, but found her voice.

"Right away," she said, and went back to the bar. "That'll be $7.50."

"Normally they comp my drinks here," he said as he pulled out his wallet.

"Normally, they think you're perfect, but I think you could use a little work on your defence," she said.

"Well," he said, and he gave her a slow smile. "Why don't you sit down and tell me what I need to do with my defence."

I know SO MUCH about sports and also Texas beer types now. And of course you pretended to be a waitress at a bar you don't work at. This is KIP.
