I love you, I won't kill you

Amanda feels good about this restaurant, but there are too few varieties of desserts.After drinking a lot of mineral water to clear the spicy taste in his mouth, he asked Nina, "Is there a lounge or lounge area here?"

Nina leaned back in the chair, "Of course. Why, want to sit in the lounge here?"

Amanda touched her belly and said with a smile, "I ate a big piece of steak and wanted to digest it."

"Cute little girl! Alright, let's go to the lounge." Nina beckoned to the waiter.

"Wait, what time do you work at night?" Amanda asked suddenly.

"Well, seven o'clock. What's up?"

"Let's go, I don't want to delay your work."

After thinking about it, Nina smiled and gently pinched Amanda's face, "Sweetheart, you are so considerate, why don't you have a girlfriend?"

Amanda pulled out her wallet and said as she put the credit card on the waiter's plate, "Really? I don't think I said that. It's just... I wonder why you said yes Your boss is coming to San Diego?"

Nina stroked her face, "Well, let's go. Maybe you would like to listen to my stories on my bed."

Ten minutes later, the two drove back to 30th Street where the bar was located.After Amanda parked the car, Nina walked and said, "Wait a minute, I will find some friends to chat with you. If you don't want to, you can go to my apartment first."

"Go to your apartment and play 'princess and the castle' with your two kids?"

"Hey, take it easy! It's just two little kids, they won't bite you."

"Hmm, you have the final say tonight."

At around 8:[-] in the evening, there were already many guests sitting in the bar.Judging from their attire, most of them are local residents.Amanda sits on the bar stools in the center of the bar, a glass of sparkling vodka mixed with [-]-up and pink lemonade in front of her.

"Sweetheart, what are you looking at?" Nina asked while mixing a glass of coconut rum mixed with almond schnapps with eyes and hands.

"Well, I'm watching you work."

"Really? Well, does it remind you of Richmond?"

When Amanda took a sip of the wine glass, a girl with dark brown skin and long brown curly hair hurried to the bar.Self-consciously yelling at Nina, "Hey honey, get me a Newcastle Brown."

Nina put the prepared rum in front of the waiter, turned to look at the girl, "Fernanda, I think you still remember how many bills you owe?"

The girl named Fernanda didn't seem to think there was anything wrong, she just showed a charming smile, "Nina, my salary check will not arrive until next Monday, please!"

"Uh, Nina, this drink of hers is mine." Amanda took out two dollar bills from her body and put them on the bar.

"Amanda, you don't have to do this." Nina shook her head, picked up a 550ml beer glass and poured the wine.

Fernanda glanced at the two $1 and $5 bills on the bar, then turned to look at Amanda, "Hi, I still remember you, are you Nina's friend?"

"Hmm, I remember you too. Every Saturday night at 9:[-] p.m., the 'Time of Destruction' band."

"Fine, thanks. So what am I doing in the band?"

"Well, it should be the bass player, right?"

Nina walked back to the two with a beer, "Fernanda, you can go. Remember to pay your bill next week."

Fernanda giggled, "Of course." Turning her face to Amanda's ear, she said softly, "I like you! If we have time, let's eat ice cream, chat or do something else."

When she saw Fernanda for the first time, Amanda just thought that the girl's appearance, complexion and smile could charm many young men.It's just that she didn't expect that she would ask for a date with herself.

He smiled and replied, "Thank you for the invitation."

The two watched the back of Fernanda leaving the bar. Nina leaned over the bar and said to Amanda, "I know what she said to you. What do you think?"

Amanda turned around and continued to sip the vodka in the glass, and asked curiously, "Is she also African-American like me?"

Nina laughed happily, "Are you African-American? I don't think so."

Then he whispered, "I don't hate her, and I don't like her. If you like, the three of us can go back to the apartment together..."

"God, what are you talking about? I'm leaving." Amanda was so annoyed that she wanted to leave the bar.

"Hey, I'm joking. Actually, I don't want to see you with her." Nina said softly, holding Amanda.

Amanda didn't answer, but just sat back at the bar again, "Okay. Let me tell you, I love my girlfriend very much."

Nina glanced at her with a smile, "Okay, I accept the fact. It's just that she's not with you now, is she?"

At this time, the band "Moment of Destruction" played the first song of the evening on the stage, and Fernanda happily waved to Amanda and the two before the performance.Nina didn't press any further and just continued with her bartending job.

Flickering lights, rock and roll singing mixed with heavy metal music, and the taste of blue curacao, tequila, gin, Baileys, rum, bourbon whiskey and beer permeated for a long time throughout the bar.

Amanda deliberately wanted to keep herself in a more sober state, so she didn't finish the glass of sparkling vodka in front of her.Glancing at Nina who was busy, she turned and walked towards the bathroom.

A few minutes later, when I opened the door of the cubicle, I was surprised to see Fernanda leaning on the wooden board of the cubicle and staring at herself.Amanda just said, "Hey, uh, what's up?"

Fernanda shrugged and said relaxedly, "It's nothing, I just wanted to say hello to you. My name is Fernanda Garcia Acosta."

Amanda said, "Nice to meet you, my name is Amanda McLaren."

Suddenly, she felt that the surnames "Garcia" and "Acosta" might have come from Spain.Then he asked, "Fernanda, are you Spanish?"

"To be precise, my ancestors are Portuguese who settled in Spain. Amanda, can we be friends?"

"Why? Because you think you like me?"

The two stood in front of the sink in the bathroom, and Fernanda stared at Amanda, "Well, that's right. So, would you like to?"

Amanda smiled, "It's interesting, but your reason doesn't seem to be sufficient."

There was a kind of resentment in Fernanda's eyes, "Is it because of Nina Drake?"

"It has nothing to do with her. And, I don't think she's going to be your... an obstacle."

"Hmph, don't you know that she has two more children? When she gave birth to her second child, her boyfriend disappeared?"

"I know, I'm trying to get closer to her child." Amanda said casually. As for whether she thinks so, only she knows.

Fernanda stopped in front of Amanda and asked, "You know? When I first saw you, I knew you were a lesbian. Why did you fall in love with that woman who only pursues men?"

Amanda didn't want to explain why, and she never admitted that Nina would be her lover.Looking at the Hispanic girl coldly, "I'm sorry, I don't think my personal affairs have anything to do with you."

Fernanda didn't know what to say, so she said in frustration, "If I don't approach you with the purpose of becoming a lover, are you still willing to accept me?"

"Are you serious? If not, I don't think we need to talk anymore." Amanda was about to leave the bathroom.
