Dangerous Meetings...
“Can I get another drink?” I turned and smiled at the man at the bar, nodding and refilling his glass of scotch on the rocks. “Thanks,” he smirked and leered at me, giving me a tip larger than appropriate.
“Thank you,” I mutter politely before slipping the money in my pocket and going down to clear off tables. Looking towards the back I see Lorne and I nod when he smiles at me, thankful that I have a boss that isn’t ‘hands on’ and that I have a decent job while I go to school.
I’ve been here in LA for nearly three months and I’ve seen things that you’d never imagine. Things that I never would have thought I’d see; but I was never surprised by them. It was a change from back home but it was freedom and that was something I needed and wanted desperately right now.
Between going to school and working here at Lorne’s club I haven’t really had time to go out and meet people. Well, you could count the people here but then again not all of them are well…people.
It kept me fed and most of all it kept me from going home and back to my father and Donnie. My mother was gone and I honestly didn’t have a reason or need for that place any more; she was the only reason I stayed to begin with.
There was a loud noise at the bar that brought me out of my thoughts, I spun around to see a man standing there and tapping his fingers against the bar top. His eyes were dark and intense and I stammered quietly. “S-sorry…” clearing my throat I moved back to the bar, smiling sweet and placing a napkin in front of him. “What can I get you?”
