his wife and his son who couldn't keep his eyes off all the skinny toothpick waitresses walking around Dixie's. So I don't have to stay over.
Fights broke out fairly often at Dixie's, usually over one of the waitresses who had flirted just a little too much with a desperate guy. And on a crowded night like this, things were bound to get a little rowdy.
When Jayna had located the family, she began making her way over to see if they were ready for their check, though she doubted the father and son were. They were probably too busy looking and fantasizing.
The floor was crowded, so she had to walk past the bar to get to the table. Half-way there, she suddenly felt a pinch on her ass. Anger flaring up her breasts, Jayna spun around.
A man with short brown hair, a nasty neck beard, and messed up teeth greeted her.
"Hey baby," he slurred, looking pointedly at Jayna's big thighs. "You just had too much junk in that trunk and I couldn't resist."
Jayna checked the urge to smack the ugly bastard across the face. Who did he think he was? Did he think just because she was heavy that he could just put his grubby hands on her and that she would like it?
"Don't you ever," Jayna grated, putting all the disgust she felt at the man in her words, "fucking touch me like that again!" She placed her hands on her wide hips and scowled at the man. "Or I will have you thrown the fuck out of here, you got me?"
Jayna did not like getting into it with customers, usually avoided it whenever she could, but she had already dealt with so much shit from Harvey and her co-workers that she was fed up. The man had crossed a line in putting his hands on her and there was no way she was simply letting it slide.
"Aw, don't get so bent out of shape, baby," the man said with a mock hurt expression. "You're the only big girl working here. I thought you would take me grabbing your big juicy ass as a compliment."
Jayna gaped in disbelief. Really ? Was this guy serious? He couldn't possibly be serious, but yet, as Jayna stared at him, she realized he was.
Upon realizing this, it took everything inside of Jayna not to grab someone's beer bottle from the bar and knocked the man upside his thick noggin with it.
Instead, she grabbed someone's bottle of Heineken and poured it over the man's head. Then she tossed the empty bottle into his lap as he sputtered with surprise and stalked off back into the hallway.
Once there, she collapsed against the wall and began breathing deeply, trying to calm the rage that had caused her to lose her cool. She was in trouble. She had lost control when she was supposed to be professional. Despite the fact that the man had violated her personal space, she was certain that her boss Harvey was not going to see it that way.
It was just the way he was, the curmudgeon, old bastard.
And sure enough, Harvey tracked her down a minute later.
"What the hell do you think you were doing pouring that bottle of Heiny on that man's head?" he demanded angrily, scowling.
Jayna stared up into Harvey's angry, black eyes. Standing at six-foot- four, Harvey practically towered over Jayna, his beer belly sticking out like he was pregnant, his bald head reflecting the dim light in the hallway.
Jayna knew that Harvey liked being taller than other people. It made it easier for him to intimidate them.
"He grabbed my ass," Jayna replied slowly, not expecting any sympathy. "So I doused em'."
Harvey placed his hands on his waist and snorted with disbelief. "Are you kidding me? With all those skinny broads walking around in there? You mean to tell me that he grabbed YOUR ass?" Harvey threw back his head and laughed. "Give me a break! You don't have the sex appeal."
What the hell is that supposed to mean ? thought Jayna, her face burning from anger and embarrassment. He thinks I don't have sex appeal because I'm a big girl?
Did Harvey really think that just because Jayna had curves that she was undesirable?
