“Holler at the waitress if you see her. She hasn’t been out here in a bit,” Teddy said.

We were sitting outside, underneath a covered patio in a new bar in town, Twin Peaks. The theme was a Log cabin lodge type environment, and the patio had ten wooden tables with six loose wooden barstools at each table. The waitresses all wore khaki shorts, boots of some sort, and a cropped flannel shirt, unbuttoned. The shirt was tied at the bottom, instead of hanging loose outside the shorts. All of the shirts were carefully fitted to ensure that the entire midriff of the waitress was exposed, and that her boobs were incapable of being covered. For all practical purposes, they were naked from the waist up. Places like this didn’t necessarily appeal to me, but it was one of the few biker friendly bars in town, and our club patronized the establishment. In turn, the owner of the bar donated money to the club, primarily to support the fund raising ride that we had in the summer.

“If I see her I will,” I said, looking around to see she was on the patio.

“So, Doc, tell me about this chick. She’s good people?”

“She’s great, Teddy. She’s easy to be around, she’s fun, and she is respectful. She’s everything I want in a girl, and so far, nothing that I don’t want. She’s college educated, intelligent, and articulate. If I were to paint a perfect picture of what I wanted in a girl, so far; she’s it,” I responded.

“Well, for fuck’s sake, when you two getting married?”

“She makes me happy, Teddy. Happier than anyone else ever has. A whole hell of a lot of them have tried. She succeeds by just being herself, that’s it.”

“I’m just giving you shit, Doc, you know that,” he held his beer mug over his head, upside down, allowing it to drip into his mouth.

“That mother fucker is definitely empty. I need another beer, Doc.”

He no more than lowered his glass, and our waitress came onto the patio from inside the bar, with another waitress walking beside her. The other waitress was extremely tall, attractive, blonde, and had breasts the size of large cantaloupes. Approximately ten percent of her breasts were concealed by her flannel shirt.

“It’s shift change. You guys can either tab out, or carry your tab over to your new waitress, Heather. This is Heather,” she said, pointing to the large breasted blonde standing beside her.

“Hi, guys,” Heather said.

We had only been at the bar for forty-five minutes, and probably had a tab of fifteen dollars. I reached into my pocket, pulled out a twenty dollar bill, and handed it to waitress number one.

“Here, just take this for your tip, we’ll tab out later. That’ll let you get out of here,” I said as I handed her the money.

“Oh, wow. Thank you. Okay, well, have a good evening, guys,” she said as she walked away - leaving Heather, Teddy and I at the table.

“So, what can I get you two,” Heather asked smiling.

“I want another mug of Coors and your phone number,” Teddy said.

“Oh stop it,” Heather said, smiling at Teddy.

“I’m dead serious. You’re fucking gorgeous. I want to know more about you, but I don’t want to pester you at work. You know anything about riding on a bike?” Teddy asked as he pointed to his bike parked a few feet from where we were sitting.

“Oh my God, thank you. You’re so sweet. And yes, I’ve ridden on a bike before,” Heather answered, smiling at Teddy.

“Well, I want to get you on the back of mine, let’s make that happen,” Teddy said.

“Sounds good, let me get your beer, and I will be back in a minute. Do you need anything?” Heather asked as she turned toward me.

“Oh my God, are you Erik?” Heather asked, her mouth opened wide in an obvious display of surprise.

“As a matter of fact, I am, why?” I asked.

“Well, Kelli is my best friend, so she talks about you all the time. And I’ve seen you around town a bit, while she’s been at college,” she said.

“Oh, you’re Heather?” I asked.

“Yes, we saw you a few months ago at The Pump house. I think that was the first night she saw you,” she said as she shifted her weight from one of her Ugg boots to the other. Her boobs shifted with her, and about fell out of her non-existent top.

“Yeah, she told me about that. Well, it is nice to finally meet you,” I said, as I held my hand out to shake her hand.

“Same here,” she said as she shook my hand.

“Let me get your beer, and I will be right back,” she said as she looked at Teddy.
