OK, so I'm still trying to work out how to use this website but thank you for the review. But, yeah, bear with me please.

Present day

I smiled as I handed yet another guy a pint, he grinned before drinking some and walking away. I sighed, I felt drained and tired and wanted to crawl back to bed and hide. The bar slowed down momentarily, it was always busy on a match day but today was a home game so everyone was here early.

"So, this is where you snuck off to this morning." Someone shouted at me, I heard the sound of a bar stool being moved and turned round to see Bovver sat watching me, his hand half over his mouth as if he was in deep thought.

"Yes, Bovv, work." I said, smiling as I leaned over the bar and kissed him carefully on the cheek. He laughed quietly in my ear.

"Aye aye." I heard Swill shout as he saw how close our faces were, I moved away and walked towards he beer pumps, I already knew what they would order, the same as they always did. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Swill thump Bovver on the back and heard him mutter some form of swear word.

"Cheers Sweet." Swill said as I put the beer in front of them, I nodded as I took the money and placed it in the till. Slowly all of the guys turned up except Pete and they moved away from the bar to a corner table which was more accommodating to a crowd. At some point Bovver came back to the bar and sat on a stool right in front of me. He watched me with a weird smile on his face, finally I stopped serving people long enough to talk to him.

"You working at the match?" he asked me.

"Yup, Hammers play home, I work." I told him, running my hand through my long black hair. He nodded and placed his glass against his lips.

"I'll walk you there then, who knows what will happen after." he said with a wink. I laughed at the innocent expression on his face. I laughed and leaned towards him, he moved his face so that I could only kiss his lips this time and smirked.

"I think I have an idea." I whispered, gently pressing my lips against his, a few guys cheered and I rolled my eyes, after ten years of kissing over the bar you'd of thought they would be more grown up about it. I'd been so distracted by Bovver that I hadn't seen Pete come in and I certainly hadn't seen the other guy come in with us.

"I'm gonna go say Hi to Pete." He whispered, kissing me on the lips again and walking off with his pint. I smiled as he did and walked towards Kieth who ordered enough beer for all of the guys at the ever growing table. I was still pouring the beers when some one came over to help Kieth carry them off, Keith didn't try and stop him so I didn't make an effort to. I carried the last two beers over to the table myself. Pete got up and hugged me as I got there. Bovver had left the table again, he was in arse-wipe mood then.

"Bailey, this is Matt, Shannon's brother. Matt this is Bailey, Bovver's girl." He said, Matt went to shake my hand but I shook my head.

"What's he doing here then?" I asked, running my hand through my hair again. Shannon had told me stuff about him before, he wasn't the kind of guy you let near your firm, especially not on match day.

"Leave it out love, Bovver already tried it." he said, drinking some of his drink as if to close the subject. I shrugged.

"He's a miserable cunt, Matt, don't think about it. He don't like anyone." I told him, ruffling his hair and then walking back to the bar. There was never enough beer on a Saturday. I was pretty much desperate for a sit down once my shift had finished, I quickly pulled myself a pint and walked back to the guys table. Bovver grinned and pretty much pulled me into his lap.

"If we win this match, I'm going to propose." he said, holding up his beer and tapping mine.

"If you did that every time you said you would, I have a hundred engagement rings." I laughed, kissing his nose, he pushed me away aware of the fact that all the guys would tease him about that. I leaned my head on his shoulder as the guys tried to explain different rules of football to Matt.

Someone on the other side of the bar started shouting chants and within seconds all of the guys were on their feet shouting along. Most of them just stood by the bar whereas Bovver pushed his way towards a table and stood on it, making sure everyone could hear him.

"This is the hammer's song." I told Matt as the whole room burst into the chants of forever blowing bubbles. When they'd finished and Matt sort of knew the words I clapped him on the shoulder and walked towards the blokes bathroom. Bovver had seen me go and soon I felt his hands on my hips and smiled.

Once we were in there, and someone had passed me my bag from behind the bar, I brushed my hair and pulled it into a bun on the back of my head. I applied some make-up which isn't something I normally wear and moved towards the cubicle so I could change into my smart white blouse. It left enough cleavage on show to get me some attention. I then changed my trainers for a pair of high heels that changed the way my whole posture looked. I was already wearing smartish black jeans.

I froze when I heard the outside door open, two shadows were moving around outside.

"Friend of the family, ey? Pete might be showing you a bit of courtesy, you being Shan's brother 'n' all but get it straight, we don't like outsiders." I heard Bovver say. The door opened and closed and there was only one shadow left. I walked out to see Matt staring at himself in the mirror. His jaw dropped when he looked at me.

"Like I said, he dont like anyone." I told him before walking away.
