*Don't Ever Say Goodbye* ^For BayMickey Only^

Selena flipped her hair behind her shoulder, giving off her well known smile. The casino was packed tonight, the strong scent of smoke and alcohol wafting around the huge building. The young waitress carried a silver tray of drinks. Mostly shots of scotch and other things. Her normal T-shirt and shorts were replaced with a short silk dress that hugged her perfectly. It was a special night, like an event that only happened now and then. Selena guessed they were raising money for some sort of charity. Orphans? Military? She didn't care, as long as she was doing what she did best.

"Margarita!" A woman yelled at Selena, and she hurried to give the woman her order. "$2.50" Selena said politely, brushing her hair behind her ear. "Thank you." She hurried away, and glanced up at the sign. *Raise money for the Military!* It flashed in neon lights, and she shrugged. Her bright blue eyes scanned over the first floor, and she headed to the second floor to see if any help was needed. Selena paid no attention the outraged yells of gambling, she just walked on. "Could you get us an extra deck of cards, dumbass here dropped em' over the deck." He nodded to a blonde guy, smiling drunkenly. "Right away, sir." She said, grabbing them out of a drawer and tossing it to them. "Thanks."

When 10 p.m. rolled around, Selena's break finally arrived. She dropped the tray and collapsed in a silky overstuffed chair. Her blonde hair was messy, blue eyes closed as she dozed.

(It so horribe)

(Not at all!)

Austin opened the door to the bar, smoke immediatley filling his nostrils. "Woah," he muttered. His friends walked away, probably going to hit on chicks. Austin walked over to the bar, the loose shirt and jeans not feeling right. He was used to the tight camoflauge suit he was permitted to wear in the Army. He ordered a beer, raising the cool bottle up to his lips and taking a swig. it seemed so alien, unfamiliar. Austin hadn't had a beer in what? Six years? Anyway, he made his way over to some chairs in the corner of the room, noticing when he was about to sit down a young woman sleeping in the chair next to him. "Oops, sorry, miss," Austin apologized, hoping he didn't disrupt her. Yeah, you just did by talking to her, dumbass, he thought.

Selena jumped when she heard him. "No, no, its fine." She glanced at the clock, and cursed under her breath. "My break is over anyway." She lifted her self up, smoothing her hair and dress. "Anything I can get you?" She asked, trying to seem perky. Another waitress shoved the silver tray back into her hands, this one covered with small flowers. "What the heck are these?" She asked herself, shrugging. "These don't cost anything, if you would like one." Selena said, setting the tray on the small table between the chairs.

"Get to work!" A second waitress hissed, nearly baring her teeth at Selena. "I am!"

Austin shook his head, "No thank you." He walked away, a blush spreading up his neck. She was pretty. Very pretty. Austin never had any luck with women. That's part of the reason why he joined the Army, to escape them. I know, I know, you say, "There's women in the army!" But, there was none in Austin's unit. Austin handled guns. Big guns. And went in houses and shot people with them. Not innocent people, but hiding solders. You wouldn't believe how many times he almost died. But that didn't matter. Tonight anyway.

Selena nodded, whisking herself away to serve others. Just because one man refused, didn't mean she should neglect the other customers. She refilled the tray atfer people had emptied it. Selena brushed her hair behind her ear, checking the time again. She had until 11, then she was free for the rest of the night.

When the heat of the casino pushed her to far, she stepped out into the cool night air, glancing up at the stars momentarily before leaning against the wall.

Austin decided he was going to leave. This was all too much for him. He said goodbye to his friends, they had all rode in seperate cars, and he walked outside, almost tripping over someone. Then, he noticed it was the blonde waitress he had come in contact with earlier. "Again, I'm sorry," he said. Austin paused for a second. "I didn't catch your name earlier. Well, I'm Austin and I've never been too good with pick-up lines," he joked.

[Little.Goat]

Selena stepped aside, letting him pass. "Selena." She smiled at the pick up line thing. "If you would just stick around the Casino a little longer, you would learn pretty fast." Selena said, looking slightly up at him. "Trust me." She gently pushed past him, returning into the Casino. She quickly changed, returning in the normal work outfit. The tshirt and shorts.

[BayMickey]

You should just say in Iraq, buddy, he thought. Anyway, he walked to his car, lifted the hood and grabbed a canned coke from the ice chest he had in there. Austin opened it, taking a swig from the can. He stood outside and drank the rest, then went back inside the Casino.
