"Stop
staring at the man and say something?"
Imani found working with Adrianna at the bar was worse than working at
the studio. At least at the studio she could pull rank and kick her out the
office.
"What man?" She let out a long audible breath.
"The man that has you spilling drinks and stepping on my toes."
“Ouch!” She stomped on Imani’s foot and wiggled out of reach.
Imani had been preoccupied with trying to see the features of his face.
The booth he selected was tucked away off to the side. The overhead lights
barely illuminated the table top. It was the table repeat customers chose when
they wanted to partake of the live music and robust menu and have privacy.
It was public yet private. So private they'd witnessed more than one
heated exchange going on in that booth over the length of her employment. It
wasn't called the make-out booth for nothing.
Imani stole glances at him for most of the afternoon. She could see the
top of his arm covered in a white dress shirt and the swirled tattoo on his
forearm. That must be his girlfriend. She reasoned as the olive-skinned
brunette took her seat across from him.
"You think that's his girlfriend?" Imani whispered. Adrianna
topped off the customer's soft drink and walked over to stand beside her.
"If she's not, she wanna be." She dried her hands on her apron.
Imani faced her, "What makes you say that?"
"That man is a sexual magnet, paid with a Titanium Card, and his
eyes," she shook her head and raised her hand in the truth, "panty
droppers."
"For real?" Imani hissed. The forced air behind panty made curiosity
dance through her veins.
"For. Real." She glanced over at the table as if validating her
statement. Her face twisting in agony and she nodded.
Imani glanced back over there. The last thing she needed was to stare
into his panty-dropper eyes. She wanted to ask Adrianna more but a warning
voice in her head warned her to leave it alone.
There was no room in her life for men. Life was hectic enough without
adding sexy, magnetic, panty-dropping men to the equation and her panties
needed to stay in place. The last man she'd given her heart passed her up for a
bigger fish and left her without so much as a blink of an eye. Her time was
better spent trying to find another job.
"Have you heard from your landlord?"
"I got a letter about a new owner. But they didn't mention the
balance and I didn't either. I sent what I could, hoping it will hold me
over."
$1250 a month times six months left her owing the new landlord at least
$7,500. It might as well have been a cool million because she didn't have a
hundred dollars to her name. She hated owing people.
She was ashamed to admit what she sent barely covered the late fees but
she still had to pay the utilities at the studio on top of her own household
expenses.
"How long you think that's going to last? You can't keep doing this
to yourself. This dance studio is like a leech draining you dry."
“Why would you say that? What’s wrong with giving my students culture?”
Imani stiffened at her harsh analogy.
"Ain't nobody got time for that!" She turned to Imani tossing a
towel in the sink. "Culture won't feed you and pay your bills."
Tears stung her eyes. But she didn't have time to cry or feel sorry for
herself. She needed a plan.
"Is he cute?" It was better to talk about the panty dropper
than her landlord.
It was Adrianna's turn to shrug, "He's alright for a white boy. You
know I like my papi chulo sun kissed, bilingual, and Spanish in his
blood. Can't have my momma passing out on me."
"Indeed, your mom would pass out if you brought anything but a
Hispanic man home." Imani laughed.
"That's why I keep my business my business." She tossed
her blonde hair and headed to the other end of the bar to check on a customer.
Adrianna talked a good game but she had a man. Her traditional ways went
to her core from cooking authentic Mexican food to Salsa dancing every Thursday
night. Imani looked back at his exposed skin, it didn't look white but not
brown either. More like a warm beige. His head turned in her direction and she
felt trapped. Unable to look away, but unable to see his face either.
The young lady returned to the table and Imani spun around, facing the
mirrored wall behind the bar. She glanced up into the reflection and watched
him lean forward. The light caught his profile with his thick wavy dark brown
hair. He smiled up at his companion.
Imani's stomach clinched. He had a deep dimple.
She watched the young lady leave the table carrying her purse and
shoulder bag. They must be done for the afternoon. She wanted to see this
mystery man for herself.
