THINGS TO REMEMBER AT YOUR NEW
JOB
#4 a slice isnt the Same as a twist
Four months earlier
“Tel me it’s over this time.”
Rochelle Ortiz twirled her straw in the Long Island iced tea, then
took a long sip as she peered up at me.
About to start her shift at Diamonds, a strip club a few blocks away, my
cousin had stopped into Opal for a free drink and to celebrate the fact that
I’d just been promoted from shot girl/go-go dancer to bartender two nights
a week. After recovering enough from ACL surgery to walk around, tonight
was my first shift, which had mostly consisted of Tom, the middle-aged
owner, teaching me the ropes. Sure, it took me three times to get Rochelle’s
drink right. But I figured that wasn’t too bad for day one.
I shrugged as I wiped down the bar, trying to remember if I’d already
cleaned this part again after spilling a bottle of bitters earlier. Opal was an
odd blend of new and old, with the battered walnut bar top and exposed
brick blending with velvet chaise couches and the sleek platforms built into
the big violet wall at the far end of the lounge. Tuesdays and Thursdays
were slow nights, and I was supposed to be helping to get things ready for
the weekend rush.
So it wasn’t my best first day on the job. But I was trying.
“I think it’s over,” I said. “I mean, he kind of broke up with me too,
don’t you think?”
“No, Shawn did that thing he always does.” Rochelle tapped her long
nails on the bar. This week, they were pink with blue stripes that reminded
me of a Barbie-themed racecar. “He loses interest, tells you he wants a
space. Then he comes back a few months later looking to get laid. This
time, you busted your knee, so he can’t brag anymore that he’s banging
someone on Broadway. I could have put money on him asking for another
‘break.’”
I sighed. I couldn’t argue. Shawn was just one of many cycles I had
seemed to slip back into lately.
“Well, this time, I’m done,” I said firmly. “And I told him that, too.”
“You did?”
I knew why Rochelle was surprised. Saying no to Shawn Vamos had
never been something I was good at.
I chewed my lip. “It’s going to sound weird, but it was the music.”
My cousin gawked, making her thick, curly hair shake around her
shoulders. “The music?”
“Yeah. We were driving back from Long Island, and he put on that
shitty EDM he thinks is so hot. And I’m sitting there, and he knows I don’t
like Dead Mouse Seven or whatever the guy’s name is, and he doesn’t turn
it off or even ask me what I’d like to hear.”
I screwed up my face, like I’d
tasted something bad. “It’s small, but I realized that in all the car rides I’ve
taken with him, Shawn has never once checked what kind of music I like.
Just put on whatever he wanted, and that was that. So I was done.”
I shrugged. It really was that simple.
