Chapter Twelve

“Damn Country, you sure you wanna come back to work yet?” Trent looked concerned as she approached the bar counter.

Even though most of the swelling and marks had gone away a few still remained. She had tried her best to cover them with make-up, but the bruises that covered her body were still fading away. And these short ass shorts didn’t help to cover those in any way.

“Missed you too, Trent. And if you think I look bad, you should have seen the other guy.” She gave him a sideways glance before making her way behind the counter.

“Yeah, I imagine. So any word on what’s gonna happen to his sorry ass?”

“He’s being held without bond right now, I got a lovely visit from some cop over the weekend. He got my statement and said he would take it from there. Ryan wasn’t too happy with me speaking to the cop, but if I intend to press charges they had to get my statement.”

“Oh yes, Ryan. Judy mentioned that you two had been spending a lot of time together.” Trent looked almost defeated. “I was going to come by and visit you, but I didn’t want to get my ass kicked too.”

“Oh be quiet. Ryan is harmless and he mean’s well. We are just enjoying each other’s company right now.” Abbi was done talking about Ryan with Trent. Trying to change the subject, “So how has business been without me? I’m sorry that I was out so long.”

“Good, busy. I hired a few new people so you may see some unfamiliar faces in here. No worries though, you are still one of my main girls.” He smiled over at her.

“Well that’s good to know, I would hate to be late on my bills.” She grabbed a stack of clean glasses and began to distribute them in stacks behind the bar.

“You’re not having problems with money are you Abbi?” He looked concerned, enough that he had used her real name.

“No, Trent. I’m fine. I just don’t want to get behind on anything you know?”

“Ok, but if you’re ever having problems just let me know. I have only shared this with a few of the girls. But I have a little side venture that I am working on and if you ever need extra cash you just let me know and I will hook you up with a gig ok.” He stepped in close to her.

“Trent, I am not doing porn or being a prostitute.” She glowered back at him, getting only angrier as he started laughing.

“Oh Country, you are really funny sometimes you know that. Shit I wasn’t talking about porn. And around here they are fondly referred to as escorts. But if you ever need help you let me know and I will make sure you’re taken care of.” He laughed again as he made his way from behind the bar towards the upstairs office.

She didn’t know what the hell was so funny, but she did know that she didn’t like the way he had just propositioned her for something.
