a night at the bar

One night my husband and i decided to go to a bar in one of casino in Detroit to escape from boredom. The idea was there was a live music for us to relax, something that i really enjoy. It is not really easy here to find a nice place to hang out with live music. Many bars around our place with different offer usually provide pool tables, dart, or music box but once again without live music. So i got so excited to sit down at the nice ambience with nice light setting, and also the performance of musicians. Lucky me that night jazz was on stage!

I ordered white wine as i asked waitress for advise which one i would enjoy for non drinker or beginer like me. She was right, it tasted pretty good, sweet and a little bit sour and not too strong. The best part of it was they put some cherries in it, made it sooo good...hmmm....

Well since jazz is not his really favorite, he let me enjoy the drink and the music alone. Actually he could not resist to look around the game table, and watched people lost money on gambling. So i was totally alone with two empty couches next to me. Some people went to the floor, dancing with their partners followed the rhytm. I saw one old woman dance constantly from the first song until the next break (about 6 songs), she must be in very good mood.

Then more people come as the show went on and my next couches was very tempting for them. Some of them has asked me and i had to say "sorry, it's taken".

One young guy approached me and just sat down next to me without asking anything. I just looked at him ready to tell him but before i did that he bent over his back moved closer to me "is it ok for you if i sit here?". "I am sorry it is taken by my husband" i replied.

"Damn..!" he said in disappointing expression. So he got up and walked away

Then.....there were two other guys came to me, they already asked me before about the seat was taken. I hoped they didnt come back because my english was awful so they didnt understand what i said. The older said something "I knew that this seat is taken i just wanna ask you if it is ok for you to let us sit here until..your..boyfriend come back". "It is my husband actually" i said. "I promise we will leave as your husband coming" he insisted.

"Well ok then, i dont mind" i threw them a smile.

"Where are you from ?" he was still keeping up conversation with me.

"I am from Indonesia. Do you know where it is? "

"Yes i know that, it is in south east asia right?"

"Yes you are right, surprising in fact since not many people really know about it"

"I am a teacher .....geography..." he smiled

"Ah no wondering sir...."

Then the rest we just enjoyed the music and our drinks until my husband came and they kept the promise, let the seat for him.

But......my husband left me to the counter to buy a beer and it took time.

And that guy who just sat down without asking me, he did the same thing again. I couldn't believe that! He gave me strange smile and whispered close to my ears (which was i didn't expect that)" hey look.....we can go upstair and get a room if you like...?"

"No thanks" i felt humiliated and became angry at him. At the same time i smelt strong from his breath....geesh this guy is really drunk, i thought at that time.

He left me and i kept watching him walk away and stopped at other table. I guess he did the same thing to another woman at that table, she looked disturbed and asked him to leave.

What a nite.....
