this is my new book
At Brianna’s bar she sits there slumped contemplating her life decisions withs a side of Frank Sinatra, one of his slow songs plays in the background. Her brain spirals as she starts to drink. As usual, I was standing at the bar drinking shot after shot of scotch. But when she walked into the door, this was going to be one hell of a convo ‘’Give me strongest you got.’ ‘’Sure, about that princess, that would be some gin’’ I said smirk tugging at my lips knowing that would get her pissed off. ‘’ Names Noir Brianna noir.’’ Shaking up her drink I realized that something was on her mind ‘’Come on you can talk to me, That’s what I’m for. Let me guess… Life sucks, boyfriend dumped you, and you lost at poker. With a good hand they could see through your bluffing.’ She stuttered, “How do you know?’’ ‘’ People come to me so often that I realize there’s a pattern.’’ I slide her the drink and continue. ‘’ Look life can you over but one thing that can’t is a good shot of scotch so here you are drinking till you lose your mind. Too much of this you might send a text message that gets you dead.’ ‘’Well nice advice, what do you think I should do?’ “Me?’’ I start to chuckle, “why are you asking me you can do whatever you want but that’s what I’ve learned.’’ I paused thinking about what to say next, but her face looked like she was listening. ‘’ I’ve been in your place kid, more times than I can count but, there’s some people you can trust you just got to find them. Are you going to sit there and look at me like you love me or drink or at least tell me your name’’ I say laughing to myself.’’ When she responded I knew she was coming back ‘’ Well in that case my name is Sophia. See you the next time I feel depressed.’’ She yelled. ‘’Which will probably be next week’’ I say as I hear her chuckling on the way out. ‘’That was successful and she left a tip’’ I say to myself.’’ She’s got guts but she knows when to come back.’’ I chucke for a moment ,going back to drinking.
