Weekend-Engagement: What & Where am I?

(Edited)

I've only just started on @galenkp's Weekend-Experience prompt posts, and yet, it feels like I've been doing this for years haha.
It's fun! That's probably why!
Anyway, here we go. I'm not telling what I'm writing this time. It's time to guess!

Ester and Patrick

"Well Ester, looking good today! Lovely little shiny cheeks you have there. Did you do anything different today?"

"Ohhh, you charmer" Exclaims Ester. "But better keep the charming for Rosa, she'll be here in a minute. You know how she loooooves you!" She giggles.

"Well, we all know that Rosa loves just about anyone. Especially when she's working her corner."

"But Patrick! You know it's not her fault that she always has to work the corner. It's the boss that wants her there."

"Bull! She enjoys it. All the attention she gets." Patrick sneers. "With her big arms always leaning on her hips." He shudders. "She LOVES it! I think she's a bit of a..."

┍━━━━━♥♠♣♦━━━━━━━━♥♠♣♦━━━━━━━━♥♠♣♦━━━━━┑

"Well, hello! Ester!" Sings a high pitched voice, she drops down with a loud plunk.
Ester greets her happily and starts to chat about what she did on her day off but Rosa doesn't listen to her and interrupts her half-sentence.

"Well hello stranger! I couldn't help but overhear your conversation.
I'm a bit of a what?" Rosa says with what sounds like almost a purr.
Ester rolls her eyes at Patrick and mouths: "Told you!"

┍━━━━━♥♠♣♦━━━━━━━━♥♠♣♦━━━━━━━━♥♠♣♦━━━━━┑

Patrick is already getting a bit agitated, and the day has just begun!
But he gets himself together and throws a forced half-smile at Rosa, and replies:
"Hello yourself. Nothing important Rosa. Not on your corner today?"
Rosa shrugs, her hands firmly planted on her hips.
"No idea my hun. I'm not sure where the boss wants me today.
You just never know with him. He's as fickle as they come."
┍━━━━━♥♠♣♦━━━━━━━━♥♠♣♦━━━━━━━━♥♠♣♦━━━━━┑

"Fancy seeing you here today Rosa!" Henry's voice sounds almost like a grunt.
"Aren't you a bit out of place today? Shouldn't you be on the corner pleasing all your regulars?" He grins when he says it, winking at Ester and Patrick.
Ester giggles, and Patrick can barely contain his laughter.

"Oh, you old fart!" Rosa squeaks, "aren't you about ready for the old folks home? I'm sure they could use another old..." But she doesn't get to finish her words. The boss pulls her roughly by her arm, and drags her to the corner.
"Ooh lah lah...so rough!" Rosa laughs. To Patrick she sounds like a hysterical cat that just had her tail stuck in the door.
"Tataa! See you later my loves!"
The boss just grunts and shoves her in the corner.
"Here you go. Where you belong." They still hear Rosa's squeaky laughter.
But the boss pays no attention to her. The first customer is coming for her soon...

┍━━━━━♥♠♣♦━━━━━━━━♥♠♣♦━━━━━━━━♥♠♣♦━━━━━┑

Ester, Patrick and Henry aren't too bothered by it all. Good riddance. Rosa is a nuisance anyway.
At least now they don't have to listen to her blabbering on about nothing at all.

"Well my friends. We're off to a slow start it seems today. Jack, Ellen, and John aren't even here yet. And there's no customer in sight. I think even Rosa isn't going to see many today." Henry laughs.

"Oh, I don't mind a quiet day." Ester says.
"I've got better things to do than listen to the customers talk about how shit their day was, and how boring their lives are. Groping me everywhere with their dirty, stinky fingers..."
Patrick laughs: "But all of our customers are high class. What are you saying Ester?" He laughs even louder now.

┍━━━━━♥♠♣♦━━━━━━━━♥♠♣♦━━━━━━━━♥♠♣♦━━━━━┑

Henry throws out a deep, loud belly laugh.
"Yes they are. Just the other day, Sean was telling his mates about all the cows he's milked that day, and how he's given them all names. Really classy."
Ester can't contain her laughter.
"Oh, don't even get me started! The other day, Bernie came in half-drunk. Almost knocked me to the ground, never even apologized, farted really loudly, and then threw up all over the bosses' feet!
He was out the door, faster than he came.
The nerve he had, coming in here like that! Yes Patrick, classy is the best word for them." Ester laughs out loud. "Now, him throwing up on Donny's feet was funny though. I have to give him that." She adds.
┍━━━━━♥♠♣♦━━━━━━━━♥♠♣♦━━━━━━━━♥♠♣♦━━━━━┑

Meanwhile, the others come in, one by one. Jack, Ellen, John, and a new guy they've never seen before. He introduces himself as Jim.
After the usual pleasantries, Ester leans a bit towards Patrick.
"Nice fellow. A bit quiet, don't you think?"
"Oh well, he'll be talking more soon enough. It's just such a rush to be here."
Now they both burst out in laughter.
┍━━━━━♥♠♣♦━━━━━━━━♥♠♣♦━━━━━━━━♥♠♣♦━━━━━┑

"But Ester..." Patrick says, in a lower voice. He tries to find the right words. "Dammit, why is this so hard? Why am I always so shy to talk to her?" He thinks to himself.
"Yes, Patrick?"
"I've always wanted to ask you something..."
"Eh...Yes?" Now it's Ester that sounds a bit shy.
"Would you..."
A door flings open. The chatter between them dies down with the loud noise coming from the door. Some customers have arrived.
"YESSS! SHOW time!" Henry yells.
And one by one, they all get to work.
Patrick sighs.
"What is it, Patrick?" Whispers Ester.
"Nothing Ester. Nothing that can't wait till tomorrow."
He swings around to get to work.

I am one of them. Can you guess what I am? And where I am?

Good Luck! 😆

Indeed. Well, you've got me stumped on this post, I've read it three times and am still drawing a blank.

HAH! Well, at least it's engaging! :)
That was the plan.
And my ego has been stroked LOL. I don't think I've ever had anyone read any of my posts three times. 😁

Well, I'm not the man to allow something like this defeat me but...yeah, I have no clue. I'm still thinking though.

No, you don't seem like someone who will let himself be defeated easily haha.
Think harder!
Or let it go and maybe you'll just figure it out somewhere during the day.
Or you let someone else figure it out for you.
Three choices. Take your pick...😆

My brain is smoking...I might have to. One back to it. I'm not defeated though, not just yet. 😁

Awe, I'm a bit sad that not many people tried to guess.
And the one who did, seems to be giving up...🙃

I don't like to see it as me giving up, I prefer to see it as me being so utterly defeated by the conundrum that my brain had to retreat to a safe space and recoup it's energy and self respect.

Hahahahaha. I will give others a chance, maybe a day or two, and if no one guesses it, I'll reveal it. So give your brain a little rest. Because when you hear it, you'll be like: 'Ohhhh, yes, of course.'

So give your brain a little rest.

I read this as: give your little brain a rest.

I was going to comment that it's not that little, *just not the smartest brain on the planet. Lol.

I'm probably going to be very angry at my little brain for not being able to guess it...I'll want to give it a spanking I guess, for being a dumbass brain.

Yeah, that definitely means that it (the little brain 🤣) needs a rest LOL.
Go for a nice little walk or something, have a nice little nap, and stop beating yourself up over the little brain not doing its job. It's only little, it's not his/her fault.

Awe thanks! I guess...😆
I'll try my very best not to disappoint haha.
Uhm...I actually had to look this Gavin guy up, and by the look of things, these new laws aren't any good? Sorry, I do not keep up with US politics at all.
I guess that's the good thing about living in Mexico and not speaking the language very well: You don't understand the news haha...

But no, it's not the right answer. 😊
I think I may have made it too hard. Or will have to offer Hive for people to guess more...

Neither do I.

I had to do a google search to see if anyone legalized prostitution lately and his name came up.

I read this comment 13 times trying to work out who Gavin Newsome was but had to resort to Google. A politician. No wonder I had no idea, politics isn't my thing. What's his new law though?

Legalized prostitution.

This guess might be really silly but are you one of those floor-standing ash trays in a hotel lobby?

No, not silly at all! That would have been a good one actually. VERY old school haha.
I haven't seen those in ages!
But sorry to disappoint, it's not the right answer.
It was a very good try though!
Thank you for taking the time to read the story.
Have a great (rest of the) weekend!
