“What are you going to do?”
Becca sat in the dim lighting of the bar, pondering over those words. She was on her third mojito and would likely down another one before heading back to her lonely apartment. Glancing at her watch, Becca saw that it was only going on nine o’clock at night.
“I’m not sure, Sally.” Becca lifted her drink and swallowed what was left of the mint-flavored alcohol. She placed the empty glass back on the table with a thud. Becca stared at it, thinking her life held the same void. “As of this afternoon, my best friend left town, I have no job and no money to pay my rent.”
“I can’t believe they let you go,” Sally said, shaking her head. “I mean, I knew some layoffs were coming, but not that they were closing down the homeowner’s division.”
“Tell me about it.” Becca hadn’t seen the downsizing approaching, either. The last thing she’d expected when she went into work this morning was a pink slip. “At least you were safe in the auto branch.”
Becca and Sally worked at an insurance company, but with the economy being the way it was, times were tough. And now, only Sally was still employed there. Mother Nature had administered enough tornadoes and hurricanes last year that it wasn’t feasible for their company to continue offering new policies. Becca’s goal of climbing up the corporate ladder had disintegrated.
“What about David? Can you move in with him?”
“We broke up months ago,” Becca said, not in the least bit saddened by that statement. In fact, her dejection had turned into anger at the amount of time she had spent grieving over a man who she would no longer look twice at now. Lessons were learned the hard way. “He wasn’t the right one.”
The waitress, wearing a tight white T-shirt with the bar’s name printed across her breasts, stopped by their table. Becca ordered her fourth drink, while Sally shook her head. Becca mentally shrugged, not really caring if Sally didn’t want to drink. They were ex-coworkers, not best friends. Becca’s best friend, Lily, was off enjoying her honeymoon in Italy. That was just salt rubbed into a fresh wound. The previous feeling of loneliness returned and Becca was now wishing that her parents lived closer.
“Oh, Becca, I’m sorry. At the Christmas party, you two seemed to be perfect for one another.”
Becca wasn’t going to go into the fact that Christmas had been seven months ago or the fact that the party was where she’d found David feeling up one of the secretaries. Apparently, appearances could be deceiving.
“Yeah, well, there were a lot of things wrong in our relationship.” Becca looked over at the bar. A man held his hand on the back of a beautiful woman as he helped her onto an empty barstool. When she was situated, he also assisted in placing her purse by her feet. Why couldn’t all men be like that? “See that couple over there by the bar? David never once treated me with respect like that.”
“That’s because she probably gives a great blowjob,” Sally replied, rolling her eyes. “Just look at her. She’s stick thin and looks like one of those runway models that you see on the covers of magazines. She probably read “Ten Ways to Give Great Head” in
Cosmo
.”
The fictitious title got Becca to smile. It was something that Lily would have said. So maybe Sally wasn’t that bad, Becca thought, if she had a sense of humor like her best friend. She looked back over at the woman sitting at the bar. Becca wasn’t stick thin, but she wasn’t overweight, either. Her mother always referred to her as a petite Marilyn Monroe, with curves in just the right places. As for the sex, Becca was always willing to try new things. It was David who had had issues with anything other than the missionary position.
“I don’t think it has to do with great sex,” Becca said. “It’s how a man is raised by his mother. And let me tell you, men aren’t raised that way anymore. I want a man who’s confident and oozes virility. I need someone who can protect me, even if it’s from myself. Stability in his life and career wouldn’t hurt either. I need a man who will take the time to know me, from the inside out.”
The waitress returned and placed Becca’s drink in front of her. Sally was still nursing her fuzzy navel. Becca knew that she should order some food, but she didn’t think her stomach could handle it. Hell, she shouldn’t be having alcohol either, but Becca still lifted up her fresh drink and took a sip.
“I would take any man at this point,” Sally said, twirling a strand of her dark hair that had frizzed due to the rain. “I’m rather shy when it comes to meeting men, though. It makes it hard to find one.”
“See? That’s what I’m talking about. Is it so wrong to want a man to take charge, especially in the bedroom?” Becca asked. “I once asked David to tie me up and have his way with me. Do you know what he said? He called me depraved and asked how was I going to get him off if my hands were tied.”
Sally choked a little on what must be a lukewarm drink by now. She grabbed a napkin and wiped up some droplets that had spilled on the table. Becca thought about what she said and realized that maybe it was too much personal information to share with an ex-coworker. The alcohol was loosening up her lips a little too much and suddenly, Becca missed Lily.
Becca felt her booth move a bit as the person behind her shifted. They were probably leaving, which was what Becca needed to do before she said anything else that would embarrass her. She pushed aside her drink that she’d barely touched. Before Becca grabbed her purse, something was set on the table before her. It was a business card.
Becca glanced up to see who had placed it there. A tall woman, wearing a tailored gray suit with a white button-down blouse, stood looking down at her. She was classically beautiful, although seemed to hide behind her elegance by wearing her red hair in a severe bun. The hairstyle accentuated her cheekbones and green eyes. The red lipstick that painted her full lips was perfectly applied. Becca reconsidered her initial impression and now thought that this woman exuded confidence in her beauty.
“I overheard your conversation. My company may be in a position to help you. If you wish to improve your situation, this is something you might want to consider.” The woman turned to go, but then stopped. She looked back over her shoulder. “And you definitely won’t be disappointed.”
The woman’s red lips lifted in one corner, exposing a smirk as she walked away. Becca looked down at the business card.
