A week later a large bachelorette party invaded the bar and, as they got drunker and more obnoxious, all James could think about was how Becca would never be so inconsiderate, no matter how many of those stupid events she was forced to attend. It was girls like these who had soured him on women for so long he’d truly despaired that any women like Becca still existed.

Thank God she does, and thank God she’s with me.

Male customers in the bar were flirting and dancing with the girls and James exchanged a look with his fellow bartender. With everyone drinking, this had the potential to get out of control very quickly. James was irritated. Not only were the girls driving away other customers, but they weren’t good tippers and making a huge mess he’d have to clean up later.

“I’m gonna go get Mick. I don’t like the look of this,” James shouted to the other bartender, who nodded and kept washing all the frou-frou glasses the women were putting to use tonight. He walked back to the bar’s office and knocked on the door. “I think you should come out. The bachelorettes are getting out of control and the guys are egging them on. We need to cut the girls off or get them out of here, but you know how they’re going to take that.”

Mick nodded. “I’ll handle it. How are the guys? Any I should be aware of?”

“I haven’t seen any manhandling the ladies, if that’s what you mean.”

Grunting, Mick rose. “I hate bachelorette parties. I wonder if I can ban them from the bar.”

“It’s your bar. You can do whatever you want.”

“I know.” Mick rubbed his forehead. “But they do spend money.” As they left the office and began to walk down the hallway back to the bar, Mick clapped a hand on James’ shoulder. “Hold onto that girl you got. She’s a keeper.”

“I’m starting to think so, too.”

“Good man. Thanks for coming to get me.”

“No problem.” James moved behind the bar, as Mick did a slow tour of the room. He’d owned this place for close to ten years and worked in several bars before that. James imagined he’d seen everything. If there was a guy who could sniff out a potential problem, it was Mick.

The thought lessened James’ irritation level a bit, and he was able to get back to work, even tuning out the incessant squeals of the girls as he filled orders. Luckily for everyone, the girls were poured back into their limo and everyone else straggled out after that. He’d actually made good money, which he was surprised about until Mick told him one of the bridesmaids had apologized for the party’s behavior and given him three hundred dollars to split between James and the other bartender.

“At least one of them had a little common sense and decency.”

“And money. Yeah, she kept trying to get them to leave and go somewhere else, and I’m pretty sure it was her urging that finally got their tails moving.
