Rudy walked out of the back office, it was a half hour after closing time, he usually never was around this late but Cara knew he probably only hung around because she was working the bar by herself that evening. She glanced up at him from drying some of the clean glasses and smiled. Rudy was in his early fifties, and the years had not been kind to him. He had lost most of his hair and what had been left was completely gray. Owning a bar had run its course and landed along his midsection, blessing him with a hefty beer belly. Still, he was the gentlest of giants, as far as Cara was concerned.

“Almost done for the night Rudy, you can go.” She said, hoping she reassured him.

“And leave you by yourself? My conscience would be the death of me. Usually your boyfriend is here to see you home.” He grumbled.

Cara smiled. Apparently Jake’s affections even had hit the back office. “He’ll be here any minute”

Rudy mumbled something inaudible before sighing. “That Jake, fellow, he’s a good guy. I always liked him.” He cocked his head as if he was questioning his thoughts. “Granted he was the cause of some of the greatest fights this bar has seen. He always looked out for you.”

Cara smiled, she couldn’t argue that. She wondered where Rudy was going with his little speech. “He definitely is a good guy, one of the best.” She asserted.

Another grunt sounded from Rudy. Maybe that was just how he breathed. “Anyway, I’m glad he took his head out of his ass. You’re hardworking gal. You deserve some happiness.”

Cara’s eyes widened, but she composed herself and tucked the compliment away. “Thank you Rudy. It means a lot.”

Rudy nodded and grabbed his cigar. It dangled from his lips as he shoved his newsboy hat on top of his bald head. “You sure he’s coming?” He mumbled with the cigar in his mouth.

“Positive. Go home, I’ll make sure everything is locked up.”

“You always do.” He muttered as he saw himself towards the front door. Cara watched the door close behind him. She finished placing the clean glasses in their rightful spot before she checked the shelves behind her. The liquor bottles were lined perfectly. She gave the room a quick glance, straightening some chairs as she walked towards the light switches.

The door opened again and she didn’t have to turn around to know who had walked through it. She smiled instantly, as she dimmed the lights. She turned and bumped into Jake’s hard chest. A laugh escaped her lips as her eyes peered up at him. He grabbed her face with his hands and pressed his mouth firmly onto hers. Quickly, she adjusted, and wrapped her arms around his neck as he hoisted her up. Her legs swung around his waist, as his hands cupped her ass. He carried her to the pool table and set her down gently on top of the felt. He pulled his mouth away from hers.
