Today is going to be a great day. Know where I stand behind the chair. Came into work , had three clients waiting. My assistant was consistantly late,today was no exception. Where was she? she of course was stuck in traffic, and I was happy to see all my friends that I worked with. It was 9:00 a.m. in the morning, the day after St. Patricks Day. I had on my books 3 colors, 8 cuts and two weaves. It was a full day that ran smoothly, even if clients ran late or early. The models were starting to parade through the shampoo area, to show off their styles, beautiful. Where was Elizabeth? I really don't like doing my own shampoos, something about it just didn't set the tone right. Finally she came through the back door. Certainly after I did a shampoo, and found a stylist willing to share their assistant. everyone who worked in the salon had an assistant. they were as booked as myself. Several came from the salon I started at in Fullerton's, Christopher Salon. We worked well together, everyone so talented! I was in Heaven, my only complaint was that I worked long hours. I owned rental properties in Orange County, lived at the beach, life was good. Tonight I would have dinner in one of the nicer restaurants in Newport Beach. Wanted to wear my new outfit and be flirty and fun! today would be the beginning of the end.

Suddenly, it was morning! I had to get on my moped at go to work!

  The alarm was going off, as I reached to push the reset button, my head was hurting, next to me was that kind, handsome man that drove me home from the pub. Oh my gud, my car was at the salon. It's ok, can ride my moped, get my car later.Lincoln was to buzzed to try and have sex. " I want Things to be perfect, and I am to buzzed for that"
"ok" strange, the first time any man laid next to me, and didn't bother me for the entire night. I love sex and well, that is what you are here for. My drunken head hit the pillow, the next thing I knew, I was reaching for the button.
 " I can give you a lift, I live over there anyways".
  "Awesome", let me jump in the shower, have to be at work in fifteen minutes."
  As he opened the passenger door, I realized this was a brand new mercedes.
 "thought you just finished your training, you make enough money to buy a new car?
  "No, I bought a house in Manhatten, sold it and with the profit, I bought this car, my job will pay well enough, do you want to go out to dinner tonight?"
 "Sure, finish work around 8, see you then".

Lincoln did remind me of someone.

Muldoons St. Patty's Day Pub

So what was I thinking going out with a man twice my age. He's in really great shape. I was thinking of a future. Humm well, just goes to show you how deceiving happiness can be, One minute you have it, or do you? I love the salon, everyone you meet. Well, I am here, it is St. Patrick's Day!
  Everyone and their green beer, and my tall drink just left with a beautiful brunette. I am not going to waste myself on self pity. Little did I know what the future had in store.
  A handsome again older man, but at least he was closer to my age. he was standing there offering me a drink. sure of course.
  "What's your name"
 "Mick"
  Your real name not your Irish nick.
"Lincoln, where do you work?"
  "At the salon next door, have you been there before?"
"No, I just moved here from Manhatten Beach"


"ok, it was nice meeting you, thanks for the drink", "Where do you work"
"I don't, just finished my residencey" "I am an Opthomologist."
  My friend Robert came over, pulled me away and gave me a big kiss. "What are you doing talking to that guy?"

2 Beers and a Scotch....

  I ordered two beers and a scotch. Noel realized I was there, and his wife realized I was there too. She gave me a look, that made me think she had been in this situation before. After all, Noel was powerful and did as he pleased. He would lead you to believe that you were the only woman in the world. I was hardly a woman at 24. Noel was 43 and had been married for 22 years. This was the beginning of my education of a wealthy "married " man. Noel and his "wife" got up from their bar stools. She gave me the elevator evalution, looked at me in the eyes. My expression must had told the entire story. I would never see him again.
  The pub was getting lively, and I slammed down my scotch and ordered another. The two linebackers where still standing at my side. They ordered rounds of drinks for myself and my many friends in the pub. After all I worked at the Salon next door. 3500 sq ft of chic, where women would wait 6 weeks for appointment and glady drop $600.00 for a cut and color. Yes I had talent and was paid well for it. The valet would be six cars deep with million dollar rides. It was an exciting time.
  Something was missing! I wanted to be in love and have a family.And a man that had my back. Noel was a perfect lover, generous and fun..BAM! He was also a liar! As he left he seemed cowardly.
  Bartender! Scotch......
  I could feel the room come alive, the music made me move to it's rythm. I was feeling no pain.
 

  finally squeezing through the people, I made my way straight to the bar, a scotch on the rocks was what was on my mind. Frozen at what I was seeing. There was Noel, one had on her neck and the other holding her face. Her black raven hair covered his hand while he sucked on her lip, the same way he sucked on Pamela's just a few hours ago.
  Two large built men then stood in front of her, "See you Know our Boss"
"What? What Boss?"
" Noel Fleming, he's the man that pays us. We are linebackers for the Cinncinati Bengals, and he owns our team, see that you know him too, do you know his wife as well?"
"No, and I don't think I know of his wife or your Boss either, may I buy you drinks fellas?"

  It was a festive day. Everyone joyful and fiesty dress in their sparkley four leaf clover oins, and their little lepichaun hats. Pinching and teasing anyone not wearing something green.
 Pacific Coast Hwy was a nice ride in a new Rolls Royce, and Pami's new man. He felt good, and was generous. He would always drive her to her apt.314 on Marqurite Street CDM, jus around the corner from the BBC. As he would open her door, he would whisper into her ear, "Get yourself something , we are going out to dinner at Ambrose, be ready at 8:00". He would be at her door at 8:00, and off they would go....This morning was a little different. Her hair was dripping wet, Noel pulled Pamela today. As she towel herself from her shower, "Hurry.., er forgot I have a very important meeting, lte's get breakfast at CoCo's". She was rushed into the Black Silver Shadow, what a nice ride. It made the bum's rush, feel luxious. This time there was no appointment to be had the following evening. Just a very quick peck on the check. Humm...oh well, really...he was confusing, he's blowing me off.
  The valet drove the
ferrari to the overhang, Pamela's client hopped in and drove away. The line of merry makers wrapped all the way around the building. It was St. Patrick's Day! Everyone had to get their Green beer. As Pamela pulled the key from the door, she was now in the line that formed to get into Muldunes.
"Pam" "Pam", as I turned to see who was calling my name, I saw a handsome friend , come give me a kiss.
  Get in there, Robert is inside and so is GIGI. Cool, the crowd was so think that night. I squeezed though all the fiesty, flirty people.
