A breast joke

From my short story 'Will you love me in the morning?'
They went to the crowded bar to try and get the attention of a big latino bartender. He was occupied with a group of students engaged in a Sambuca race, abruptly ending twenty minutes later when one of the contestants threw up on the bar.
- You will need to show some skills to get his attention, he told her.
- Just flash a breast or two, you know, give the guy some incentive, he continued. I mean, it’s just a breast for you, but look at this bartender, he might not see nice breasts that often!
Why did this always happen? Why am I making a breast joke with a girl I barely know? He was a truly tactless individual, something that had gotten him in trouble several times before. She didn’t mind though. Instead she laughed and jokingly pulled down the right shoulder string of her top, making it look as if she was actually going to pull it down all the way. She stopped though, as the waiter approached them, happy to get a break from the Sambuca gang on the other side of the bar.
do you write in english only because of your writing class or have you abandoned swedish alltogether nowadays? (i hate writing in english for non-professional purposes)
I have not abandoned Swedish altogether, I'm still working on my 'book project' in Swedish which more and more seems like a never ending story. But most short stories are in English since it makes it possible for all my non-Swedish (and Swedish) friends to read them...
