I payed the cab driver off and stepped out of the taxi, almost absent minded closed the door with one hand while I tucked my wallet back in to jacket pocket.
Not knowing what to expect inside the bar I took a moment to look around the outside, just a quick look as my hands went in to the jeans front pockets. A few steps later and I was pushing the door open, smiling faintly at the thought “This is the bit were the piano stops playing and every one turns to stare at the stranger…..”
Pausing to let my eyes adjust to the new light, enough to look around and find the bar … An empty stool at the end. Allowing the door to close behind me on it's own, I strode confidently to that empty stool at the bar and slid my ass on to it settling my booted feet on to the bar rail I ordered a drink … “Coffee … Strong fresh and black please fella ” to the guy behind the bar.
I took a look around the bar as he went away to prepare my coffee … Then I sat there sipping the coffee “Thanks fella ..Pretty good ” Nodding to the guy as I sat quietly ….
