sitting down at the table folding clothes from the small Laundromat for the employees. The two women had already finished off a bottle of red wine and were a glass into the next one. Kelly got louder, while Chandra got thoughtful.
“Who?”
“You know, that fine ass man that kept coming up to the bar every five minutes, looking like Mel Gibson.”
“You are crazy, he did not. He was fine though.”
“Right!”
The two women laughed and then shushed each other when they realized how loud they were being.
“Don’t wake the girls up.”
“You're the one that started all this man talk.”
“I know, girl, damn I need to get me some. I hear that a lot of the staff here get it on with the guests, you just can’t get caught.”
Chandra had known exactly who Kelly was talking about before and he was the same one she thought about when the idea of getting it on with one of the customers came to mind. She didn’t believe that they had a right to say who or what she could do when she was out of work anyways, so the rules were silly to her.
“Well, girl, I have lifeguard duty in the morning. What are you up to?”
Kelly’s face screwed up. “Housekeeping. Can you believe that shit?”
“Come on, it's not so bad.”
“Have you ever had to clean up strangers’ beds and showers before, it’s gross. I hope that does not go on my permanent rotation.”
“Don’t we all have to do it at some point?”
“Well that depends on who you get on your knees for. We all get paid the same, but some people, namely women, will get far more enjoyable jobs if they can find the right guest to ease their way.”
“You cannot be serious.”
“Dead serious. You need to get up on Mel Gibson and get you a secure spot for this season. If not, you're going to be doing housekeeping and laundry.”
“Is that what you plan to do?”
“Honey, I already got something in the works. You just wait and see. This is not my first go-round with these types of places. I have already spotted a couple hot, older men here that have taken a fancy to me. Snag them up while you can because most of the guest will be here all season and the young girls around here will snap them up before you get a chance if you wait too long.”
“What about Mel Gibson?”
“Ahh, now you’re thinking. Give me some time and I will find out for you. He was delicious, wasn’t he?”
Chandra couldn’t agree more and the wine was making her a little horny. It seemed to be one of her new friend’s favorite subjects and since her and Dale had just broken up, there was a slack in her satisfaction. She needed some kind of tension relief and the man from the bar was still the one that kept coming back into her mind when she thought of getting laid.
The two women were up a lot longer than they should have been. While Kelly did not have to be in until the time Chandra got off, she got up with her and helped her get dressed. Chandra was groggy and half hungover as she pushed her body into the spandex of the “uniform” for the day. It was a one piece white bathing suit and when she looked in the mirror, she realized that the suit was surely not made for someone with her curves. There was not enough room on the top or in the rear for her voluptuous curves.
She examined her body in the mirror and she couldn’t help but feel self-conscious. She was not used to showing that much skin at the beach, let alone at work where she was supposed to be professional. Chandra secretly hoped that the mystery man Keith from the night before would show up and go for a swim. Her mind went to a fantasy that included her saving him and a little mouth to mouth action before it went to a bedroom somewhere for wild, passionate love.
“Oooh, girl. If I had that body, I would have already gotten me a man here. Damn, are those real?”
Chandra laughed and shook her chest to make them
