I am at the time of my life. Thinking I finally have everything figured out. My job is decent it brings in the cash flow. Bartending makes good money but the hours are horrible and long.
I drink my coffee again as a start to finish adding the last bolt on the cover of new cool air intake on my car. I smile at as I close the lid, All done with today's project. I worked damn hard for what I have here in this garage. I have two vehicles. They keep my preoccupied when I am not at work.
My dodge Challenger 2018 and my 2019 dodge 1500 Ram Rebel.Working hard to pour money into my cars. I am a mechanic thanks to being left on the alone. I have my father to thank for that he left my mom when I was old enough to remember , I and my siblings so I had to become an adult at an young age and help out and anything that broke I had to fixed to save money .
Back then it didn't matter how hard I work and how much I brought home. It was never enough for my mother. She was working part time and by the time my brother left the house for college she decided her my younger sister where going to bounce. She empty my bank account and disappeared.
Now a days I don't worry about that. I keep cash at home and cash in the bank. I used my body to bless my bank account and pour in tips even back than as waitress it was a risky gamble. I have been in my share of tough spots becauses of it. I always made sure I could pay the bills at the end of day. I heard my alarm go off telling me it was time to go to the gym.
I went into the house cleaned my hands. Putting on sweat pants , a sweat shirts and throw my hair into a pony tail. My blonde roots are starting to peak through. I would have to pick up a bottle of hair dye on the way home from the gym. I made the most tips as a red head so I tried to keep it that way. It match my personality I was told a few times.
Jumping into the truck it came alive with a roar and made me smile. The drive to gym was only a ten minute drive . Once I was there I saw Jillian and Cody they were the personal trainers and owners.
They smiled at me . I went over to my usual spot to warm up. Stretching was always important to keep myself from getting an injury. Jill and I had becomes friends and Cody he was hit and miss. There where brother and sister . Great people but I just kinda of knew them they would invite me out but 90% of time I declined.
Cody walked over to me and smiled.
"Good to see today Kirsten. How's the day looking for you?"
I switched the position and looked at him with a half a smile and replied " You know same old ,same old. "
" Why don't you switch it up and come out to races with me tomorrow. The drag race it always fun the people at the track ."
Cody laned against the wall smirking at me. I got up from my stretches and looked at him . I thought about it for minute, I didn't really want to go out on date . Cody and I have a good friendship. I think he wanted more he is always hinting at me to go out with him somewhere.
I went over to the weights and grab my 20 pound weights and looked at him
"That actually sounds fun, but we need conditions Cody. I am not going as a date only as a friend. I am not interested in dating .I have told you this . I like our friendship and I don't want to ruin it. So I will go with you but only as a friend. Plus you know if I get called into work because they get slammed I have to go."
Cody's eyes lite up as he thought he had a chance to wow me , he said " Great pick you up at 6 pm tomorrow.
With that he walked away leaving me to do my work out. I shook my head did my sets waiting for my arms burn. It was a quick hour work , I need to just maintain my self. Finishing up I grabbed my keys and headed out . I had to stop at the drugstore for some hair dye before heading home.
I made my way to house to shower and get ready for work . Stepping into my house I felt my weight I held on my shoulder disappear. I always had a hard time acting strong in public. My mask always get me far but it's exhausting.
I did it tho , I kept a cold bitch face on all the time. Made it look I was impassable. I didn't mind it at all because at the bar I could smile, laugh and joke around getting my regulars something to talk about. Even new coustmer would be talking to me and having a good old time.
I quickly set up my hair dye and water my roots and the blending out to just bright the slightly faded deep red hair. I wait 30 mins watching it cover those blonde roots right up.I quickly showered and started to do my hair and make up. Braiding the side piece back giving my straight hair a bit of curl it gave me little bit of mohawk look . My dark eye makeup made my amber eyes pop . I put on some simple light blue gemstone earrings . I smiled , quickly got dress in the black jeans and blue tank top with the bars logo on the front.
Silver Moons dollar my home away from home. Weather I liked it not it was what paid for this house and those cars.
