Happy Birthday

“Oh, you like him!”

I giggled like a school girl and said, “Nah, he’s cool. We’ve just been hanging out for the past few weeks.”

My friend said, “Ummm, you guys have been hanging out every other day for the past few weeks and when you’re not in each other’s faces, you’re on the phone.”

I rolled my eyes and said, “He’s cool people, but girl let me go I just pulled up to work, so I can cover this girl’s shift.”

“I thought you scaled back working at night because it made it hard for you to work during the day.”

“I did, but she has an emergency.”

I walked into the bar and was disappointed because the place was basically empty. I looked at my cell and thought, “I wonder what The Medic is doing…” I got ready to text him when the door to the bar swung open. I was instantly excited because it was The Medic. I perked up and was getting ready to walk from behind the bar to say, “Hello” when I saw that he was with somebody…a female counterpart.

He looked at me shocked and I looked at him with my right eyebrow arched up and hands folded across my chest. He said, “I thought you weren’t working tonight…”

Before I could respond the woman stood next to him and said, “Wow, you’re so pretty.” I smiled and said, “Thank you. How’s your night going?”

“Good. We just came from dinner. It’s my birthday.”

I was boiling mad inside, but I smiled and said, “Oh wow. Happy Birthday! In celebration your first drink is on me.”

I cut my eyes at The Medic as I poured her a shot of Patron. I handed her the shot and said, “Happy Birthday, my dear”.

I couldn’t make this ish up if I tried.
