Part Four Spain
She was a Bartender but I didn't know she was gonna be a Witch..
( Previously)
Lucky for me, Marcella was kind enough to, not only put the needle on the record again, but inject a shot of fantasy and reality into the side of my neck with her syringe disguised in her sultry voice. As she was ejecting her fluid voice in a short stream of words, that were not going to clean my wounds of deprived attention and physical touch, but for the moment let me forget how bad they were hurting. I could feel what my whiskey had been hired to do that night, but the Greek gods had something else in mind. I don't know the reason why she decided to strike a conversation with me. I was dressed pretty casual, my 501 Jeans, a Navy issued T-shirt and what I call my "Old dog". A battered old black leather jacket that had wrinkles of stories to tell. And its (Old dog) side kicks, my leather boots. I spoke Spanish from conception, parents were from South America, so it was easy "To do as the Romans do when in Rome".

She had that raspy type of voice that I like, just enough to make me feel something move. I have had many experiences growing up but I learned that there was two tings that would always get to me; a confident smart woman and the voice. Something about the voice. I know that was three but if you are going to be detail oriented then your missing the point. She asked if I wanted another drink very well knowing that I already had one from and without hesitation I responded with a curious smile and frown. I have one but you don't. I could see her eyes saying "gotcha", no I don't do I. Would like one? Yes, that's nice of you. I would normally be vaccinated for this obvious assault but her tight blouse that gave hint to her excitement of being able to sucker me into a cold beer on this hot August night was visible. Her belly button was showing and her jeans, her jeans; while they were not 501's they looked like it took her at least five minutes getting them on this morning. The challenge would definitely be removing them.
Two beers later and leaning across the table to hear each other talk, it was obvious that this place was jumping and I had this nineteen year local Spaniard talking to me in this Miley voice that was never letting me down sense she first started moving her lips. As it turned out my continued record of not dating younger ladies was in tact. It was her birthday that weekend and she had me by a few Months. By now I had my cross hairs aimed at Marcella but glancing periodically at my Isabel the beautiful bartender that seemed too busy to pay attention to me. I didn't know where this conversation was going but I was not wasting one second thinking. I was just in the moment and enjoying the entire scene and its possibilities. Black Dog came on and all the sudden I was in the zone. I could do no wrong. She could have moved on and just thanked me for the two beers but we were both laughing and enjoying the conversation. As if in a magic spell. I pressed on to see what Marcella was all about.
She was in summer vacation and her mom was with her boyfriend, daddy was MIA; she usually came to this wall flower of a spot with her girlfriends - that were already at the bar earlier in the day but didn't come back. That was winded. At this point she could of told me she was a Catholic Nun and I still would have put the moves on her. She was getting to me. She would have been better off leaving me and letting me drown in my whiskey than sticking around. Instead of mellowing out I felt like a Siberian Tiger being teased by a fresh kill. I had a room at the local hotel by the beach, room 13. I always picked that number because I thought it to be lucky. Till this day I'm still trying to prove that it is. I finally got the courage to tell her that I was going to head back and go pass out. While in my head I was hoping she would say no or ask to come along. The latter more preferably. Like a tiger stretching his claws I was awaiting her answer with calculated anticipation. But you only had three beers. I was here before you. Besides I have beer back at my room and walking drunk is not a good idea for a American in a strange land. I'm scared of what could happen to me. She laughed. You want me to walk you to your Hotel. Like my bodyguard? Yes!
