Ashley eases her mind

Ashley kept doing her job and noticed the nervous Vyki got to the bottom of her glass, and slid fresh one over to her. “Here. Just so you know you have nothing to worry about.”

Vyki was pulled out of her mental embarrassment back to her current reality. “I’m sorry?” Vyki wasn’t sure what the caution was about but took a quick sip to try to calm her nerves and wash away the vision.

“If you were worried about me taking him from you, you got nothing to worry about,” Ashley tried to comfort her.

Vyki took a sip and just nodded along as this was not really on her major lists of concerns at the moment.

“First off, you are so hot and that get up is right up his alley; you can wrap the big lug right around your pinky and worshiping between your thighs whenever you want.” Vyki giggled at the absurdity of that idea. “And, he and I go waaaaaaaaay back; there is no chance of anything happening there.”

Vyki could tell there was some sort of story, “way back? How so? He been a bouncer here for a while?”

It was Ashley’s turn to giggle, “oh, he did get me the reference for the job here, but we knew each other before that.”

Vyki continued to sip on her sweet drink but seemed like Ashley was purposely getting lost in her work and avoiding more. When Ashley got close, she felt the need to press further. “Where did you two meet?”

“Oh, we met in college,” Ashley responded matter-of-factually and realized she had probably said too much already when she saw the shocked look on the lady’s face.

“So you two had a fling in college,” Vyki asked not even thinking about the dating implications.

“Hardly,” Ashley laughed nervously.

“Then he’s been holding the torch since then,” Vyki pointed out the obvious to her that most women may not realize as she sipped her drink again finally feeling some warmth & relaxation from them. A guy has a friend that is a hot girl like her, it’s unlikely he’s not at least had a few sessions wishing they had something more even if they resign themself.

“No,” Ashley responded flatly. “It's not like that.”

Vyki then felt the need to school her, “sweety, you’re a hot girl he’s known since you were both ragging with hormones at college. He’s had more than a dozen hot dreams about you, I promise.”

Ashley was worried this lady would actually view her as a threat and the last thing she wanted to do was cause some sort of strife with Lou and have him miss out on a chance. She calculated the options in her head and knew she was in a safe place and if this chick was some sort of bigot, it’d be better to know now and get Lou away from her than have him get really wrapped up by a bitch. Taking a big breath, Ashley decided to confess to a total stranger, “you know he used to play football, right?”

“Ya, as a lineman, right?”

Ashley grinned remembering how much of a protective wall the man was, “ya, offensive lineman.”

“And I assume you were one of the cheerleaders he was nice enough to protect even though you were dating the quarterback?” Vyki shot back trying to point out the obvious why he didn’t go after her.

Ashley laughed nervously at that, “no, nothing like that.”

“Don’t tell me you were some sort of femi-nazi protesting the football team but the giant with the heart of gold was your study partner?”

“No.... definitely not that” Ashley said remembering a few feminists she had bed in college.

“Ashley, hun, unless you were a slothish, 400-pound slob of a nasty chick in college, I’m pretty sure he would have been interested in you & that would not be diminished now,” she said gesturing to her hot body with her glass before taking another swig.

Ashley finally blurted out, “I played football, too.”

Vyki sucked on an ice cube and responded, “are you trying to say you’re a lesbian? Because I knew plenty of straight soccer players but it's fine if you are.”

Ashley couldn’t believe she was having to spell this out to the ditz. She really hoped it was just a light weight and not really this dense normally. “No, I was a wide receiver.”

Vyki spit out the ice cube over the bar as it suddenly registered, and she couldn’t help but stare at her crotch looking for an indication.

Ashley self-consciously maneuvered to hide below her waist behind the bar. “Ya, finally caught on. I try not to advertise it a lot, k?”

“I would have never known,” Vyki said having mad respect for the feminine vision before her. She couldn’t see any bump and was sure she even saw an impression of a slit in the tight shorts. Very intrigued, she couldn’t help but ask, “do you still have...?” waving in the general direction of her waist.

“Ya, just years of a practiced tuck,” Ashley responded. “So, like I said. Lou is a great guy who’s been really supportive of me through all this. And, as much as I wish it weren’t the case, you have no fear of a guy like him having an interest in me, so you have no worries from me.”

Vyki was about to confess her own nature as well when she felt a strong arm wrap around her and spin her stool towards the mountain of a man. “Hey, babe, I found us a spot, but I need to get over there before Buck has to get back to helping.”

Vyki could only let out a meek, “k” as the room seemed to keep spinning long after the stool finished its rotation. As Lou stood her up on her feet off the stool she had to really focus hard after leaning into him to not fall flat on her face.

Ashley then leaned over the bar to whisper in the dizzy lady’s ear, “Lou is a really nice guy, and I won’t steal him from you, but you better show him a good time. If you hurt him or break his heart, I will hunt you down and cut your cunt out myself.”

Vyki was really disoriented by all the motion and sudden change of tone, she couldn’t figure out how to tell her she really wasn’t serious with him, but she also worried how she would now react to the truth. However, before she could decide which way to answer, Lou had already started guiding her into the crowd. She could hear Ashley shout over the noise of the club, “you two kids have a blast.” Looking back over her shoulder, Vyki could see a well-manicured hand waving a knife she had seen Ashley cutting fruit.
