I smiled as I looked at my reflection in my mirror. I was wearing my black skinny jeans , a black polo top and my new black stiletto heels. I fixed my curled hair so it was resting on either side of my neck , I had a little bit of make-up on , I never go over the top with it. I bet your wondering why I am so concerned about my looks tonight but no I am not going on a date. I got a job ! Joe wasn't happy that I got a job , but he was actually mad when I told him that the job I had got was in a bar. Yeah I know I'm only 18 but what is a little white lie to get a job ? They didn't even ask my age , sometimes it's a bonus looking older than what I actually am.
I clapped my hands together, satisfied with how I looked. I grabbed my keys and walked out of the house , no one was in anyway , mom and John has gone over to the Jonas house for dinner or something , I don't actually know I wasn't listening when my mom told me. I locked the door and got into my car blasting my music all the way to Joe's apartment. I knew he hated the fact I'm working as a bar-maid, all the more reason to go over and flaunt it. I jogged up the flight of stairs, since the elevator decided not to work. I got to his door and knocked. No answer. I turned the knob, and to my surprise the door opened. I shook my head at the sight of clothes all over the floor. I bent down and picked up Joe's shirt.
"Joseph! You should keep this place tidy" I called as I opened the door to his room. What I saw right there would probably be etched into my mind forever.
"JOE ! Second time this week ! Fuck !" I screamed as I slammed his door shut again.
"I am fucking !" I heard him let out a breathless chuckle and I literally gagged.
"I'll wait in the kitchen" I called shaking my head and walking towards his kitchen grabbing a drink and sitting up on his counter.
Like I said this was the second time this week I had walked in on him having sex with someone , I think he has like a radar of when I'm coming over and decide to have sex so I would walk in on him.
It had been nearly 2weeks since Nick told me he liked me and decided to kiss me , and he has been avoiding me , which I completely understand but it makes me feel bad that he has these feelings for me that I cant return I mean I literally think of him as my little brother , and before you say it I know he is the same age as me but whatever.
I heard a scream coming from Joes room and I groaned putting my head in my hands. Why do I put up with this ? Yeah I don't know either. A second scream was heard followed by a groan , god he cant be that good. Well he is good at everything else , I bet he is like a sex god or something. Not that I care.
I heard shuffling from the bedroom, and I sat on the island counter with my lips pursed. "I'll see you later then" I heard a female voice purr, "I think not. Do you not know the meaning of one night stand young lady?" Joe laughed, "Okay, goodbye." He walked into the kitchen smelling funny and all, grabbed a beer and turned winking at me."Looking gorgeous Ads" He smiled. "Well I do like to dress to impress my punters" I smiled, watching his smile turn upside down.
"Please tell me you aren't going to work in that bar" he said as he closed his eyes.
"Yeah , Joe I am okay. We have already had this conversation , I need a job and this was the only one I could get." I sighed already knowing where this was going.
"I don't want you want you working in a bar ! Its full of guys that will just try and get on your pants ! , plus your only 18 , your not old enough to drink never mind fuckin sell it !" he yelled at me , I don't know why he is so angry about this but he was really making me angry.
"Yeah you would know al about trying to get into barmaids pants huh ? , I mean I bet its all your mates that all hang about there , y'all hitting on every girl with a fucking heartbeat ! You cant say anything about trying to get in anyones pants okay ? And you know me Joe , you know for a fact I wouldn't let that happen !" I screamed at him taking deep breaths. He looked hurt when I mentioned him knowing about getting into girls pants. I grabbed my purse and cell and headed towards the door.
"Addie , don't leave. I know you can take care of yourself. I just- god Ads I just don't want you to get used , your to good for that." he sighed as I opened the door not even giving in to him.
"Whatever" I muttered as I closed the door , releasing a long breath as I walked towards the car. What a way to start a new job , in a bad mood.
"You must be Addie ?" I heard a voice call as I stood next to the bar , I turned round and saw a girl standing just in front of me with a small smile on her face , she must have only been like 25 at the most.
"yup that's me" I said raising my voice a little , since it was already busy tonight. The girl smiled and walked towards a door signalling for me to follow her. She showed me were I could leave my purse and stuff so it would be safe.
"Okay so im guessing you got shown all the basics when you were here yesterday ?" she asked and I nodded remembering the manager of the bar showing me around and certain ways to pour drinks and stuff.
"Oh I'm Scarlet by the way" she laughed.
"nice to meet you" I chuckled.
"okay lets get you out there to the madness , if you need anything at all I will be at the opposite end okay ?" she asked as we got behind the bar , people already calling for service. I nodded looking around , maybe Joe was right maybe I wouldn't be able to handle this. I put on my fake smile trying to get my nerves away and went and served the first customer without any problems , after the first one I seemed to relax a lot more.
After about an hour of non-stop serving the place had finally calmed down , and there wasn't crowds of people waiting to be served , so I could just chill and got to know Scarlett , she was a really awesome girl.
"So any guys in your life ? , I've seen you turn down quite a few numbers tonight" she laughed and I chuckled blushing a little , she wasn't lying at least 5guys had tried to give me there number , one even had the cheek to do it when he had a date with him.
"Nope no guys , the only one in my life is my best friend Joe. What about you ?" I asked and she raised her eyebrows.
"Just best friends ? , and yeah I have a boyfriend we have only been together for 6months but , I think he is the one you know ?" she gushed and couldn't help the smile that took over her face. She was definitely in love.
"Aww that is SO cute ! , what's his name ?" I asked wanting to know all the details , yeah so what I am a bit nosey.
"Jason , and uh someone wants served be right back" she smiled and rushed behind me to serve.
I sighed and grabbed a can of Coke from the fridge when I felt a tap on my shoulder.
"special request , and he's hot" Scarlett laughed and I cringed I don't think I could take getting hit on again tonight. I sighed and turned around and groaned when I seen Joe sitting at the bar playing with the beer mat.
"Its only Joe" I sighed and I heard her gasped as I walked away.
"What do you want Joe ? Checking up on me ?" I snapped and he looked up and shook his head.
"Not at all , I didn't even know this was the bar you were working in , I just felt like a drink" he said with that all to familiar smirk of his.
"That's bullshit Joseph" I said as I started to walk away.
"Ads ! , your not supposed to treat customers like that , I could get you fired" he smiled and I whipped round storming back over to him.
"you would like that" I growled.
"I would not" he scoffed and I glared at him "are you not gonna ask me what I want ?" he said.
"What could I get for you , dickhead" I said with a most polite voice I could muster up and a big fake smile at the end.
"now that's it Addie !" he laughed "and just a bottle of beer babe" he smiled and I shook my head a walked away.
I grabbed a bottle for Joe and Scarlett popped up at my side with a smile on her face looking at Joe and I groaned. Here we go.
"Joe is so hot ! How can you just be friends with him" she gushed.
"Because he is a dick , and he uses his dick to fuck random whore more than he does to use it to pee" I mumbled and she let out a massive laugh and I chuckled walking back over and slamming Joes bottle down in front of him.
" 10 dollars please" I smiled and he looked at me confused.
"that's a but expensive is it not ?" he asked and I shook my head with a smile.
"Nope , money for the beer and the rest for me" I smirked pulling the $10 bill out of is hands.
"HEY !" I heard him call as I walked away laughing.
I went and stood with Scarlett again and she couldn't shut up about Joe. Doesn't she have a boyfriend ? Yeah that's what I thought too. The rest of the night was fairly quiet and to be honest it was very amusing to see Joe in the "zone" as he called it , I had never actually seen Joe out drinking before and like hitting on and rejecting girls , especially now that he was a little tipsy and he was up dancing with some Barbie person , and I don't mean that as an insult as in blonde hair , skinny and all that she is actually called Barbie.
Just as Scarlett was gonna go into the details of how her and Jason met a guy sat down at the bar , and I called dibs to serve him. That's another thing we have been doing all night , if a hot guy comes in that's how we have been deciding who is serving them.
"No Way ! He is so hot !" Scarlett whined and I chuckled and shrugged as I made my way over to him.
"Hey , what can I get you" I said putting my best smile on , he looked up and god he was more gorgeous up close.
"Can I just have a beer please" he smiled and I nodded and turned to Scarlett as I was grabbing his drink and winked at her just to annoy her , she just glared at me and started to laugh. I could definitely see me and her becoming friends.
I smiled as I gently put the guys drink down in front of him , the complete opposite of what I done with Joe.
"thanks , have a drink on me" he smiled giving me a $10 bill.
"thanks but I think I'll pass this time , first night working here. Maybe next time" I smiled and he chuckled nodding his head.
"Just take the rest of the money as a tip then" he smiled and I looked at him with wide eyes.
"Wow thank you , I'm Addie" I smiled putting my hand out.
"Nice name , I'm Jesse" he said and I smiled , such a hot guys name I thought to myself. I sat at the bar talking to him for at least half an hour , not only was he a hottie but he was such a sweetheart as well. I found out he lives in the same apartment building as Joe , which was weird because I've never seen him around there anytime I have visited Joe.
"So do you like Dallas now that you have been here for a couple of months now ?" he asked and I shrugged.
"Yeah , I mean its not as bad as I thought it would be and the guys here are gorgeous" I smiled and he laughed. I am such a flirt ! I have been hanging around with Joe to much.
"Well I think its safe to say that you have probably raised the standards of girls here now , I mean all the girls must be jealous of you" he smirked and I laughed , blushing.
"Are you always this flirtatious ?" I smiled resting my head on my hand.
"Only with beautiful girls" he said copying my actions and I giggled.
"ADS !" I heard a drunken Joe yell before I could even answer Jesse , I groaned and looked to my left to see a drunken Joe stumble towards us.
"I'll be right back !" I said as I walked away and towards Joe.
"whos your new man ?" he slurred when I got to him.
"Joe you are wrecked ! I need to get you home" I sighed , I hated when he was drunk but I had never seen him this drunk before.
"No its fine you stay here with your new guy and I go home myself , you have been avoiding me all night anyway you don't are about me !" he growled as he stumbled a little.
"Joseph shut up , you know I care about you , now sit down and I'll go get my stuff , its time for me to go anyway" I sighed , sitting him on a bar stool a couple down from Jesse.
I jogged into the back were I had left my purse before I started. I said bye to Scarlett getting her number saying I would text her to hang out. As I was walking back out I saw Joe talking to Jesse and rolled my eyes clenching my jaw as I did so.
"I swear you better not hurt her or I will kill you" I heard him slur to Jesse as I got closer.
"JOE !" I yelled and he looked up with an innocent smile on his face.
"Come on time to go home" he said sounding a lot happier than what he did before.
"Okay , wait I just need to get Jesse's number" I smiled looking at Jesse giving him me cell.
"Nope you don't want to do that , your to good for him." Joe mumbled and I shot him a glare thanking god that Jesse never heard him.
"There you go , text me sometime and we can hang out when your not working" Jesse smiled standing up pulling me into a hug.
"Okay lets go" Joe said loudly grabbing my arm pulling me away from the hug.
"im sorry" I whispered to Jesse as Joe dragged me away.
"Okay Joseph that was bang out of order. And look at the mess you are in , ou are so drunk !" I yelled at him as I pushed him into the car.
"Your too good for him Ads , he'll mess you about" he slurred trying to put his seat belt on.
"Not ever guy is a fucking man whore like you Joe , who has commitment issues and doesn't know how to treat girls properly okay !" I screamed at him. I hate how he criticises very thing I have been doing and telling me who is and isn't good for me. "The only guy who is bad news for me is you Joseph , I know for a fact your gonna hurt me some how , and that will hurt more than any other guy , cause you are actually my best friend Joe !" I sighed keeping my eyes on the road.
"I know im no good for you but I'll never break your heart Ads , that's a promise." he whispered as he fell into a drunken slumber.
