*I don't own twilight, but if I did, I would have had mason as a character rather than a figment of my imagination*

Chapter Song:
If one drink could make tonight, slip my mind than I
should drink up so I can forget that I had to lose my life
you are an example of better things to come
so why wait on some other escape, that leads me nowhere fast
I've gotta ask
You've got nothing to lose
except for me and you
and I love that attitude
when you I can do
Im better than you

Mini-Moment 3- Liquid Confidence
Mason PoV

"Mason my man!" Jerry called my name as I entered the Club to get ready for what to surly be another busy Friday night.

"Jerry, mate, how are you?" Jerry was the bouncer; he was the guy that let people in or out. And he was the guy that let me know about… things.

"I'm good man." He said as he finally approached me, clapping hands and pulling my into what was known as a guy hug. I still think they are ridiculous.

"good. Good. Now look man, tonight you have to keep the flow consistent, too many ladies last week, we have to keep the flow, besides, if they are not enough men, then who's going to buy the girls the drinks?" I laughed and clapped Jerry on the shoulder.

He was a good man, but he was a little bias towards the pretty ladies, in fact just the ladies in general.

"no problem man." He said grinning at me.

I looked down at my watch, thinking about how much time we had before the club opened, and going through a mental list of what still needed to be done before the doors opened.

The cleaning staff were just finishing up on the carpet and the dance floor. The kitchen crew were banging around loudly getting dishes and prep work ready for the night. Friday night was their busiest night as well.

I looked towards the large bar lining the side of the club and saw that Matt, AJ and Tony were drying some of the many glasses that we would go through tonight.

The DJ was fiddling and setting up some of his equipment and fiddling with the mic and turn tables.

Everything was almost ready. The light outside had gone, and I could hear people lining up behind the rope with Andy, the other bouncer.

"Jerry man, go help Andy, he sounds like he's getting stampeded." I laughed.

He returned the laugh with a low throaty chuckle, while nodding his head and heading towards the side door. If he had gone through the front door, there would be no way that he would be able to stop some of the milling women and tailing men trampling in through the door, and you wouldn't be able to get them out either.

It was about twenty minutes till opening and I found myself thinking back to the first night I had opened, I was so nervous that the club was going to be a total bust, and all the money that I had borrowed from the bank and Emmett, was going to all go down the drain.

I had been so surprised when people had piled their way in when we opened the doors, that I wasn't paying attention and was knocked into by so many people.

When I was done reminiscing about that night, I had found that I had about five minutes to take my spot behind the bar along with the other guys, but I still hadn't taken off my thick winter coat and put my laptop bag in my office.

I walked down the long hallway that had spurred off next to the bar blocked by a door emblazoned with the sign 'Employees Only'.

In my office I dispatched my coat and placed my laptop in the bag, on my desk and headed back out o the main room just in time for Andy and Jerry to open the doors.

As I had expected, there were quite a lot of people that came in a steady flow for about twenty minutes, and then as Andy and Jerry cut the door off, it stopped filling, but never did it slow down at the bar.

I was filling orders left right and centre, while trying to dodge Matt or AJ who were next to me, and constantly having to shoo me because I was standing in front of the liquor they needed.

The night went on like that steadily for about three hours, Matt, AJ and tony all rotating to take breaks at regular intervals, where as I was in my zone. This is what I was meant to do, I took no breaks.

Until then.

It was about 11:30 and I was finally starting to need a little breather from the heavy thumping of the music and the constant smell of alcohol constantly enveloping all of my senses.

I told the guys that I was taking a breather. They ushered me out from behind the bar and I skidded myself along the wall and pushed open the employees only door and headed towards my office. As soon as I was out of the massive room filled with alcohol, adrenaline and hormones, the feeling hit me.

I was absolutely exhausted. Nothing about the shift I had just taken was easy, or slow for a matter of fact. I needed to make a decision, and I decided that I didn't want to work the bar anymore that night, I could leave it up the guys. They would be getting a reprieve from the late night crew in half an hour anyway, so I didn't feel so bad.

After I had made my decision I decided to take a nap, I was that buggered.

Not to my surprise, I got no sleep. The constant pounding of the bass and screaming of people made it impossible to sleep, so I took the opportunity to do some scouting. The non professional kind.

I walked out to see the midnight shift and said hi to the guys, while grabbing a beer out of the fridge.

As I was about to walk out from behind and scout the dance floor, a flash of white blonde hair caught my eye.

I turned around and saw one of the most beautiful women I had ever seen. She was extremely short. About the same height as that Alice girl that I had met at Bella's apartment the other day.

She was wearing a tight black dress, that to a designer or someone that likes fashion, it would look pretty plain. But on her she looking incredible. As I followed her incredibly thin frame and down her amazing legs I came to a pair of silver heels, they looked like death traps.

How to women wear those things on their feet every single day is beyond me.

I just had to talk to her.

I drained my fresh and still cold beer, took a deep breath, puffed up my chest and psyching myself up so that I could work up the courage to talk to her and get her a drink.

I started walking over towards the amazingly beautiful woman and ran things about how I caould aske her through my head. But by the time that I had made it over there and was taping her on the shoulder I had forgotten what I was even over here for.

That's when I noticed the women around her, and she was standing there with a table of what looked to be very close friends.

It's too late now dickhead…shit.

As she turned around to face me and I got a real and up close glimpse at her I smiled. I knew she was as gorgeous as she was from the front.

"can I help you?" she asked smiling sweetly while looking up at me.

Just as I was thinking about what I was going to say and about how nervous I would be, I noticed that she had already asked a question, and in my urgency to not look like a dickhead I just said what I had come there to say.

"can I get you ladies some drinks? A pitcher of cosmos perhaps?" I asked, looking towards the blonde beauty and then to all the girls as their little bar table.

"sure, it you can get through that line" my angel said pointing to the line backing up in front of the bar and onto the dance floor.

"no a problem" I said, and then with that I was off, going to mix a jug of cosmos and whatever else these ladies required so that I could stare at the angel all night without one of them thinking I was perving on their friend.

When I had arrived back at the table and given them their drinks, they had naturally questioned how I had come by them so quickly, and I naturally, told them about how I owned the bar, and that I had a tab for them, which I would cover.

They had squealed like teenage girls for about five minutes at the prospects of keeping them blind.

And they were blind. In about half an hour I was dancing with Elissa (that was her name I had found out.) and they were off rubbing themselves against poles and sucking off bikies junk in the bathrooms.

But when Elissa kissed me like I had been wanting all night I froze. The feel of her lips against mine was the most amazing feel I had ever had the pleasure to feel. I kicked myself for refusing her drunken attempt at kissing me in the hope of more, and kissed her back.

I would like to say that it ended at that but it didn't.

As things started to get a little more heated on the dance floor, my subconscious told me that if I didn't move us we would end up fucking in the middle of the dance floor.

I dragged her back to the edge of the room and through the employees only door and into my private office, that happened to have a very good lock.

I locked us away and we did MA rated stuff, but the second we were finished, I sat up and thought that I would be able to get over her and wait for the next escapade and nice ass that walked passed.

But I couldn't. The image of her smiling up at me, who happened to be a complete stranger, and making me feel the way I did, I should have known that it wouldn't be the dame afterwards.

I should have known that when I saw her and looked her up and down, the animal inside of me was accompanied something more paternal and pure.

And I knew that I had royally fucked up.

Now don't start to think that I am some kind of cheesy romantic guy that does the flowers and all that shit because to tell you the truth? Im not, in fact the farthest thing from it.

But she made me want to be able to chase after her, and to work up to this point. I didn't want her to see me as some drunken mistake. I wanted her to want to stick around. I wish she could take a chance on me, she had nothing to lose.

Alright, what did you think? This one was more of a recent one, I wanted to let you have a little insight into Mason and his character, and now Elissa. If you didn't pick it up, the last couple of sentences kind of solidified your questions on whether she would be a bigger part of the story, yes she will, so get excited.

Your questions for today.
