"G'day. It's nice to meet ya. I could use a pint. You?"
Johnny Ryan |

|
"I'm working. But house rules are that the first one is on the house."
|
|||
Johnny B Ryan |
|||
|
"Thank ya kindly, miss...." He took a long draft off the beer. "Now that's what I needed." He smiled at her. Johnny Ryan |
|||
lexann72 |
|||
|
"And that smile is just what I needed."
|
|||
Johnny B Ryan |
|||
|
"I've got many more where that one came from, love." Johnny winked at her.
Johnny Ryan |

lexann72 |
|||
|
"Well you just keep the smiles coming and I'll keep the beer coming."
|
|||
Johnny B Ryan |
|||
|
"Beer is good. Now you look to be a sheila who can appreciate that? How'd you end up being a bartender, love?"
Johnny Ryan |
|||

"Well I started out waitressing. Then I got to thinking, Scarlet bartends and she gets to talk to everybody and by everybody I do mean all the good
looking men, makes new friends and has a good time while she's working so I figured "Why not?" And it worked, look at the goodlooking man I'm
talking to."

Johnny grinned at her. "Flattery, love? Well, that works for me, pretty lady. So what would you like me to call ya? Johnny is good for me. John
sounds like you'd be talking to my Da."
Johnny Ryan |

lexann72 |
|||
|
"Johnny is good for me too. My name is Lexann and my friends call me Lexi."
|
|||
Johnny B Ryan |
|||
|
"Lexi." Johnny rolled her name over his tongue. He liked it. "I'd like to be your friend, Lexi." And more, he hoped. "What time do you get sprung from here, love? Care to go to a movie with me?" Johnny Ryan |
|||
lexann72 |
|||
|
I'd like to be your friend too but," Lexi sighed, "I work till closing so I'm afraid the movies are all closed by then."
|
|||

Johnny was disappointed, but wasn't going to be put off by a small thing like it being too late to go to the movies. He tapped his lip as he thought of an
alternative.
"How about a walk on the beach tonight, love? After you get off. And we could go to the movies on your day off? Johnny Ryan |
|||
lexann72 |
|||
|
"That would be great....but it's gonna be late." she warned.
|
|||
Johnny B Ryan |
|||
|
"Late's not a problem today, Lexi. I don't have to be up early to work tomorrow. I'll be happy catching time with you while you're not
working."
He grinned at her. This was turning out to be a really good day. He took a bit of his burger. "That's good, love." Johnny Ryan |
|||
lexann72 |
|||
|
"The food here really is good and I love those curly fries." She snitched one off his plate.
|
|||
Johnny B Ryan |
|||
|
"Hey, love. When you get your break, bring out another plate of those chips and we'll share them. Until then you can swipe one of mine whenever ya
want." Johnny gave her a cheeky grin. He really liked this girl. Fair dinkum.

"Ok...look I've got to get busy. Scarlet's good as far as boss's go but I don't want to get on her bad side." She gave him a wink and
as she worked the bar, she kept stealing looks at him.

Johnny watched Lexi as she hurried around the bar and in and out of the kitchen. He finished up his burger and chips. The best part was when she shot a look
in his direction. It had been a long time since he'd met a sheila he liked this much. He couldn't wait for them to go on their walk. Then he'd
get her to commit to the movies with him. A grin stretched across his face. He winked at her on her way by.
"Break soon, love?" He chuckled as he knew he was being impatient. Johnny Ryan |

She grinned back at him, "Yeah now as a matter of fact...the Boss is back." She pulled off her apron and threw it at Scarlet, "Break Boss?"
wiggling her eyebrows."
Scarlet roared with laughter, "Go on...get out of here!" |

Johnny B Ryan |

|
"Great, Lexi. Sit down, love." Andy pulled up a bar stool and held it for her. He pushed his fries toward her to share along with the bowl of
sauce.
