Mac's Irish Pub & Coffee House ...Occ

[thewantonscribe]

Carl smiles inside and out at the sound of her laughter. He can't believe how comfortable he feels talking to her. "I can't believe it, I like all kinds of music, but when it comes to blues Stevie Ray Vaughn is my favorite too. If you haven't heard them yet, you should check out the Kenny Wayne Shepherd Band. The sound is eerily similar to Vaughn. I would be glad to let you borrow my CD." Winking at her, " I think I can trust you with it. Besides, it would give me an excuse to come back in here. Not that I really need to make one up." Carl stares into her eyes, searching for answers to questions he is afraid to ask. "You have been so hospitable. I have so enjoyed the pleasure of your company, and you even bought me a drink. Please allow me to return the favor by being my guest for dinner at the restaurant. And please bring your dad. I would like a chance to impress him before I ask for his daughters hand in marriage." Carl laughs and winks, "Ok, just kidding about the marriage thing, at least for now."

Her eyes twinkle with laughter again. She turns to him blushing and says: "I don't know if Da is ready to get rid of me just yet. Though I have never known him to pass up a good meal whatever the reason. Besides don't ya think you should be asking me before him any way. Maybe I'm not the marrying kind of gal." She says with a wink.

"As for the music I believe I have heard of them. Isn't he the one that sings 'Blue on Black'? I haven't bought that cd yet. I would like to borrow it. Maybe you can bring it to dinner with you?"

She looks back at Carl quietly taking in his face. Wondering how this stranger had charmed her so quickly? Why did she feel the need to tell him everything about her. She is so entrenched in her thoughts that she didn't hear him speak again.

( Sorry for mistakes in english it is not my language)
The door bell tinkles.By the door enter a young girl.
Over her shoulder rest a school bag. Her small silhouette contrast with the blooming of her body . A fair skinned baby face illuminited by the sparks of her almond shaped green eyes and the feshness of the pink lipstick that color her adolescents sulky lips. Over her shining short blond hairs rest a french small beret, dressed of a knee length scotish plaid skirt, a white shirt unable to hide the generous blossoming of her breast and the uniform vest of the local high-school, she seems being escaped from a parisian postcard.
A bit shy, i look around me, i frown one moment, lost in thoughts, biting my pink sulky lips.
From a shy voice that cant hide my french accent and a small pronunciation problem i ask:
" Hi , hello Misterzs , Missizes....... Could zi have .......( i frown searching my words) za glass of milk pleaze? withz strawberry zirup and a drinking sztraw pleaze ?"

Hearing the bell Mary Kate turns to see what appears to be a young girl in a school uniform. The young girl asks for a glass of milk with strawberry syrup.

"Sure sweetie, you sit right down here and I'll get that for you. Can I get you anything else to go with it? Are you hungry?"

Not sure what a girl of her age would be doing out by herself. Mary Kate turns to Carl with a questionable look on her face. Mary wondering to herself if the girl is lost, in trouble, or something else. Not that it matters no one is ever turned away here whatever their reason is for coming.

 

[chocolatemouse]

The young lady smiles back at Mary kate
" No thankz ..... i Think that i cant eat anymore......"
....... Saying this she rubs her stomach softly , pooching
" I zust escaped ze dinner my fazer gave for my 18 years ..... " chortle.

She bows and picks a Terry Pratchett's fantasy book from her bag.

Restraining a small laughing she adds:
" Now all i dezire is that they not zee my escape from the party"

" It iz my first week here , my father .....( frowing she seems to search her words) went here for hiz new job"
This said, the young lady watchs around her, discovering the pub decoration.
"It is marvelouz to be able now to go alone in pubz and to not have to hide for my cigarettes" Thoses last words saids as in a sight of relieve

Mary Kate's smile turns into laughter.

"Glad you chose to escape here. I am Mary Katherine, but you can call me Mary Kate. My father owns this place and I work here with him. The gentleman on the stool is my new friend Carl." She says smiling broadly and winking at him.

"What is your name?" she asked the young woman.

Continuing to speak to her Mary Kate says, "It must be a very large party if you think your absence will go unnoticed. A boring party with mainly his colleagues as guests?"

 

[chocolatemouse]

The blonde girl utters a sigh with a grimace. Takes a sip from her milk glass.
" ho yes kinda boring......... az we know noonez here ......he invited hiz job colleagues.
pfffffffffffffffff They are talking of european norms for food and playing poker"

This said she shrugs and leans toward Mary Kate , " my namez iz Myriam " bringing to this one an almond flavored breeze .

Winking to Mary Kate she whispers :" Is there fun plazes here in evening ? Her eyes shining of an impish hope.

" I zhope that we will be friends" she say, in the same time offering her hand to Mary Kate.

Carl waits while Mary talks to the young girl who just entered. He listens in on their conversation and shares a look of concern with Mary. When Mary returns to him he says, "Well its a date then, and I will bring the CD. So now you have to tell me your favorite dish so I can prepare it for you. Once you taste it, you'll be ready to go to Vegas", Carl laughs and winks at her. "I was joking about the whole marriage thing, but I can tell that you and your dad are very close, and even if we just become friends, I'm sure his opinion carries alot of weight with you. So what do think is going on with the youngster here? I'm glad she wandered into here, where it is safe, instead of the place full of slimeballs around the corner."

Carl reaches over across the bar stools and offers his hand. "Hi Myriam, my name is Carl. That must have been one boring party to make you leave your own celebration. So you are from France? I am a chef and I would love to go to Paris, just to eat everything in sight. But I'll try not to bore you with talk for food, I am just very passionate about it. So are you a college student?

 

[chocolatemouse]

While drinking her glass of milk with strawberry, Myriam is reading her book.
Time to time a small laugther can be heard as she reads , her face shining.

Carl reaches over across the bar stools and offers his hand. "Hi Myriam, my name is Carl. That must have been one boring party to make you leave your own celebration. So you are from France?

When carl offers her his hand , Myriam cheeks shortly became more colored.
With a warm smile she shakes in french manner , Carl hand. Her silky hand seeming as the one of a child in Carl one.
" nize to meet you, mister Carl. Yes it was more than an hell, i waz feeling as dead mice on a rotting cheeze. Could you rezist all an evening to a debat about European food norms ? I guess that you would kill them all if you are a true chief. "
She poochs one instant sadly, silent.............
" Nah i am not yet in college, I got some problemz in school, and school got some problemz with me, i am in my last year of high school. ......."
Grinning she adds " and please dont laught i have enougth of dad about it"
....... " do you want a drink ?"

Carl laughs at her rotting cheese comment. "Well hopefully we can do better than that. Thanks for the offer of a drink, but Mary Kate here has been taking good care of me. I should probably be drinking something a little more healthy like you, but its been a rough night. You seem interested in your book, what is it about?"

 

[chocolatemouse]

Mariams pouts when Carls says that he will leave.
She dives her deep green eyes in his; surounded by a cloud of almond flavor.
" terry pratchett a wonderfull english writer, he is human , funny , sometime deeply social and sad , and he thinks that kings should have head cut" she says with devilish smiles.

"My favorite dish? I am afraid I am not a fancy dish kinda girl Carl. Its not that I don't appreciate fine cooking just couldn't tell you what a favorite would be. I like seafood. Some of the very fancy dishes make me laugh because they have like two teaspoons of food on the entire plate. I'll let you make me something you think I would like. Now with Da anything Irish will impress him. He hasn't had good Irish cooking since Mom died. Mine is not near as good as hers but he eats it any way."

"You are right about him and I though. We have always been very close but especially since her death. We never would have made it without each other and this place. So many friends here that kept us going through the darkest days. We even had the wake here. SO many people loved her we thought it best to have a traditional wake here for her."

"Oh Carl I didn't even think of that? Could have been much worse places she chose to step into."

 

[chocolatemouse]

Miryam , her lips playing with the drinking straw, was all in her book, smiling as a child, by moments keeping from laughing.

Crossing and uncrossing legs, she was unwillingly revaling ,the short scottish skirt sliding slowly with her moves, the fair skin of her thighs.

She was completly immersed in the book fantasy world.

 

[chocolatemouse]

At a moment while reading , she turns her face toward the window as a car parks not far from the pub.
Suddenly her face lost it smile ; she stands up, grabs quickly her belongings and runs toward the toilets.

In a breaths she says " I not exizt!!!!! i waz not here !!!!!! ok ?"

As she toilets doors close up on her , the entrance door bell resounds.

A man in his mid 40s enter, dressed in a blue suit. His face seems crossed by emotions going from anger to anxiety. Brushing his short cut brown hairs of nervosity he glances over the room quickly.

" sorry to bother you ? Did you seen a young girl with a french beret and a scottish skirt ?"

Mary Kate looks quickly at Carl as he winks back at her. Its clear to Mary Kate that they will let the girl escape this time. She seems sweet enough.

"Ah no Sir, I am afraid we haven't. It has just been me and this gentleman here for the last few hours. My father stepped out this morning and has not been back. I don't believe he would have seen anyone by that description either. If we would see her is there a message we can give her?" she says trying to appear very concerned and conceal the urge to smile.

" She is my daughter, our guests are wondering where she went. It is her birthday. She was never very mature. ..."
In a corner of the pub the closets door open slighly in a small scratching. By the gap a small hand grabs on ground a beret .


Coughing he adds " If you see her... Can you say her that we are waiting for her ?. I thanks you and i am sorry for this."
This said the man leaves the pub

"Maryam, you can come out now he's gone." she yells towards the restroom doors. Watching as she comes back to the bar Mary Kate continues: "You know honey he did appear very concerned and upset, in a stoic kind of way. Are you sure this is what you want to do? Obviously they have noticed you're missing from the party. Maybe you should consider returning?" Mary Kate says looking at Maryam.

 

[chocolatemouse]

The grimace of reprimanded adolescent on her face Mariam goes out of the closets. In the same time brushing her short blond hairs with a small ivory brush.

" zi know but it iz a really boring party............." She shrughs
" When i left i was zalone while they where playing pocker.....
You consider it being a good party ?"
Some sadness in her gaze
" With zhim i am frail cute doll to care and show to otherz"
" Pfffffffffff Perhaps i should return with the industrial zombies"

Her gaze suddenly shining she runs to Mary Kate and hugs her warmly, kissing her wetly on cheeks.
" zthanks To not have betrayed me !!!!!"

Mary Kate is suprised by the tears and the kisses. She lets Mariam finish and then says to her: "You know, you are 18 so really I can't make you leave. I can't serve you any alcohol but I can't force you to go. Here's the deal, you can stay if you wish. But I would be happier if you called your father and let him know you are ok. Just so you know Mariam I was not always an adult and worried my father quite a bit too. I'm not scoulding you just speaking from experience. "

Miriam smiles warmly, blows away a tuff of her hairs hiding her eyes.

"I guez that you are right, i will phone to him.You cant sell me a beer.?"
She say in a breath of stupor.

" Which age iz needed here?" The last sentence said with an hide anxiety.

"Good its all settled then. Oh you asked about age. You have to be 21 to have alcohol here. Not me that makes the rules darlin'. If it was we would be having a drink to celebrate your birthday. What do you say I make us some virgin strawberry daquiris any way? I thought you might like those since you seem to have a fondness for the strawberry flavor. I might even be able to swing a cupcake and find a candle or two. What do you say to that?"

The ange face of miriam suddenly shines with joyce.
In a tornado of almond flavors and blond hairs she jumps in Mary Kate arms.
" Zanths , it would look more as a birzday than the funerals with dad partners"
........
"And me who drank my last beer in Toulouze without knowing it would be the lazt before 3 yearz"
........." Dad found a job here az he know well European norms, he wil have a management place in a food factory."
Leaving Mary Kate arms she fix her shirt and dress

Mary Kate now taken with the girl's enthusiasm takes a deep breath and says: "Well thats the best thank you I have gotten in a while!"

She stops to run a hand through her hair and she blushes just a bit. She looks over at Carl wondering what he has thought of this whole thing. He must think she looks a mess.

"Ok, I guess I will go back to the kitchen and see what I can find. I'll leave you in Carl's company Mariam. The phone is just behind the bar, help yourself." With that Mary Kate goes back to the kitchen.

While Mary Kate leaves for the kitchen , Miriam grining impishly , search in her shoulder bag and grab her phone. .............
The long breath she takes for giving herself courage, spotlight the curves of her generous breast, revealing the laces of a pink lingerie.
Begins a conversation in french between the daughter and the father.
Miriam voice being a succession of sad, begging then angry and at least victorious hues.

She finaly put away her phone in a long relief breathing.
