West Richland Tavern.

[Wolfias]

Eugene chuckles as his callused hand enveloped Ravens, damn her eyes are beautiful brothel or not I like her. This is what he was thinking as their eyes met, as she looks away his heart just sank. ''Thank you.'' That was all that he had to say for right now, eating slowly in silence as he ate the last of his meal. ''What did it say? Tearing the plastic package breaks the cookie open.

 

[BreezySnow]

"Oh, I can't tell you or it won't happen" Raven giggles. She was too embarrassed to tell him what it said.

 

[Wolfias]

''Well look at mine I haven't seen it yet...now if it's the same as mine...if not the same 1 date if it's the same 6 dates'' Eugenes grin was mischievous once again as it was before. ''C'mon now look and see.''

 

[BreezySnow]

''Well look at mine I haven't seen it yet...now if it's the same as mine...if not the same 1 date if it's the same 6 dates'' Eugenes grin was mischievous once again as it was before. ''C'mon now look and see.''

"Ohhh, I can't open your's, it will be bad luck!!! Only one fortune to a person per meal! You need to learn the rules of fortune cookies!" Raven winks at Eugene. "So, you have to open it and if you want to share what it says then that is up to you."

Rex awoke just as the bus hit the city outskirts. He was stiff from spending most of the past 2 days in a bus seat, a chair in the bus station, and now another bus seat. His had found an old suitcase tossed in the trash can and so now all his worldly possessions were stashed in it and no longer in a plastic garbage bag. At least it had been clean and did not smell. So what if one of the handles was missing, it was the nicest one he'd ever had. Actually, come to think of it, just about everything in his life right now was about the nicest it had been in many years. He sure hoped Hannah would let him come back to work at the tavern. They hadn't talked at all about him returning. He knew she had gotten more whores...

"damn, I have to stop thinking about the girls that way" Rex said aloud to no one in particular.

He closed his eyes and pictured Tess's naked body fully exposed to him. What a great looking woman she was! Working girl or not, she was so far out of his league he was lucky she spoke to him. And those new girls were strikingly beautiful also. Only DeeDee and Kari seemed like they might have had a background similar to his.

Well he'd know in a couple of hours if he'd be working at the tavern or not.

 

[Wolfias]

Grinning Eugene breaks his fortune cookie open beside Ravens ''Someone you know is worth loving, and the effort it takes to love them is worth it.'' Looking to hers it was different but the same, it read like fate had something planned. ''Well I'll be...''

 

[BreezySnow]

"Well, that just goes to prove that the fortune cookies don't really tell true fortunes" said Raven. She got up and picked up the containers and threw them in the nearby trash container. "I really should be getting back to the tavern, Tess will probably be there by now. I enjoyed having lunch with you Eugene, it was very nice!"

 

[Wolfias]

''Hahaha we'll see...we'll see. Walking to bike Eugene buckles his helmet on, throwing his leg over the bike. Offering his hand to Raven once again, flipping the kickstand back then turns the ignition on. "It was really nice Raven..we'll have to do this again soon.'' Thumbing the starter the bike rumbles to life, offering his hand to help her on it again. As she got on the back on the bike, she buckled on the helmet loaned her. Squeezing the brake and clutch levers, taps the clutch petal into first releasing the levers. Pulling onto the park road to the street, in 10 minutes they pull into the tavern lot. Shutting the bike off and they got off, removing his helmet Eugene walks into the tavern with Raven.

 

[Kit_Cartaii]

Kit sat and watched as the woman danced on the floor, she must have noticed him because for a moment she faltered, but soon she found her groove and was back to flowing across the floor. Kit sat back in a chair and watch, wishing he had the amount of talent she possessed

 

[celestialdragon]

Alexa soon finished her dance, her body trembling in exhultation. She got off the stage and smiled at the boy, breathless. "Hey, what's your name?" She asked.

 

[Kit_Cartaii]

Kit stood quickly and pulled a chair out for her. "K-Kit" He stuttered nervously. "S-sit you must be T-tired." He said directing her to the chair.

 

[BreezySnow]

''Hahaha we'll see...we'll see. Walking to bike Eugene buckles his helmet on, throwing his leg over the bike. Offering his hand to Raven once again, flipping the kickstand back then turns the ignition on. "It was really nice Raven..we'll have to do this again soon.'' Thumbing the starter the bike rumbles to life, offering his hand to help her on it again. As she got on the back on the bike, she buckled on the helmet loaned her. Squeezing the brake and clutch levers, taps the clutch petal into first releasing the levers. Pulling onto the park road to the street, in 10 minutes they pull into the tavern lot. Shutting the bike off and they got off, removing his helmet Eugene walks into the tavern with Raven.

Raven stopped Eugene before he opened the door to the tavern. "I just wanted to say thank you again. Don't know how crazy it will be in here tonight, but having lunch with you was a nice get away." Raven kissed him on the cheek and then pulled the door open and walked inside.

 

[celestialdragon]

Alexa smiled and sat down. "It's okay," she soothed. "Glad to meet you Kit, I'm Alexa," she added, smiling.

 

[Kit_Cartaii]

A smile barely peaked past his lips as he slowly sat and let out a breath. "Your an amazing D-dancer." Kit said smiling

 

[merryohmd]

Rex departed the bus at the station and gathered his suitcase. Lacking the money for a taxi to the tavern so I started walking. It took about 10 minutes before the stiffness of sitting so much wore off. He figured he could make it that far in about 2 hours. What he did after that would be up to Hannah. If she was into rehiring him, then he'd ask her for a place to sleep. If she kicked him to the curb then he really would be homeless, with no where to stay and no money to pay for a place. He tried to remember if there were any shelters nearby. He could not think of any. Maybe Wolf would know. He'd been in far more trouble in his life that Rex. Maybe Wolf would let him crash at the motorcycle shop. If all else failed he could sleep in the park. Hopefully that wouldn't be necessary.

 

[Wolfias]

Eugene stopped as Raven had stopped short of the door into the tavern to tell him something he figured. ''You're welcome..but I really enjoyed taking you too. However crazy it gets I've probably been through worse. Raven kisses him on the cheek bringing a smile to his lips, follows her into the tavern to announce. ''I brought Raven back safely and in one piece!'' Heading toward Alexa and the new guy, pull up a chair to flip around backwards. Taking a seat hopefully he's not intruding. ''Hey Alexa..hows it going kiddo?'' If he is Eugene will leave them be.

 

[celestialdragon]

Alexa smiled and blushed at Kit's compliment. "Thank you," she said, her eyes looking down in embarrassment.

Seeing Raven and Wolf walk in, she smiled and waved. "Hey, you two," she said. "Pretty good, just danced for a bit."

Troy had watched Alexa dance from behind the bar where he was helping Hannah stock the bar for the night times rush. Knowing she would be thirsty he grabbed her a big glass of water with ice and a wedge of lemon and brought it to her.
"Nice dancing Alexa. You have to be thirsty after that, " he said putting the glass in front of her.
Turning to go back he looked at the boy again. "Don't think I have forgotten our little talk either little Kit. You only have a few hours left to give me that knife before I toss you out on your little rump. There are no armed people in this bar except me, the choice is yours." Walking away he saw Wolf and Raven walk in and he waved at them as he returned to the bar.

 

[Kit_Cartaii]

"I'll be back." Kit said softly as he stood and left the table to go see the gaurd. He couldn't give up his knife, but maybe he could talk the man he would understand. Kit ran up behind him.

"Sir!" He said trying to get his attention. "Listen. You have my respect and you definitely have the ability to kick me out on my ass. That being said I am not going to give you my knife. Theres to much attached to it for me to just get rid of it. That being said is there some way you could make an exception? Allow me to stay and keep my knife." Kit took a breath and watched thegiant of a man carefully. It was the longes he had ever gone without stuttering and he had shocked himself slightly by doing it.

 

[wombat9966]

"Fine Kid I can respect that. Sentimental kind of thing huh. Alright but your going to have to hand it over for a minute or two first though. I do mean it when I say it is a safety measure Kit. This is nothing personal you understand but if I know I am the only person armed in a situation I can act one way. If I have to worry about the danger of someone maybe being armed because of you then I have to act a different way and that could get somebody hurt. I think our easiest solution is just to wrap your knife up in tape so it can't be used but you can still have it. When you leave here we just cut the tape off. You okay with that?"

 

[celestialdragon]

Alexa blushed even more, but she accepted the glass of water and smiled. "Thanks, Troy," she said, smiling. She took a sip of water and relaxed for a few minutes. It felt good to dance.

 

[Kit_Cartaii]

Kit nodded and handed over the blade. He waited patiently as it was taped before going back to sit with Alexa. "Sorry about that." He said softly.

 

[celestialdragon]

"It's okay, I don't mind," she said. He was cute, but she never really had liked men. Back in the day, it didn't matter whether or not she liked a guy or not. What mom said went.

 

[BreezySnow]

Alexa blushed even more, but she accepted the glass of water and smiled. "Thanks, Troy," she said, smiling. She took a sip of water and relaxed for a few minutes. It felt good to dance.

Raven walked into the tavern with Eugene. She waved to Troy and walked over to talk to Alexa. The kid was at the table with her and she noticed he ignore Eugene again when he tried to reach out and introduce himself.

"I am not too sure about him" Raven whispered to Eugene, "he seems like he is hiding something and also seems a bit rude."

"Hey Alexa, Tess here yet?"

 

[celestialdragon]

Alexa shook her head at Raven's question, smiling. "Nah, haven't seen her. She needs to get here soon, though, so we can shower and eat before opening."
