Being back where I first crossed paths with Aleksander and Billy was odd like we were going to be seeing each other a lot. I walked in seeing Marie and Nadia were there as I went behind the bar and checked in for work. "So you got a ride?" Nadia asked as I looked at her "He more insisted after what happened when I walked home." I reminded them.
It wasn't odd that we talked about it, but the truth was that the twins were not going to let me take any risks. I knew that and I was not going to let myself be controlled by Mafia twins who wanted to be in charge. Still I watched them from behind the bar seeing Billy sitting with Aleksander as they were talking.
I focused on the work at hand as people ordered drinks and I was good at making the mix drinks. Whiskey on ice was easy to make too since it was just whiskey and ice still when Billy came up I kept things professional. "Hey Amira, can I get a beer and a glass of Kvas?" Billy asked as I looked at him. I never thought of Billy as a beer person but I placed the Beer and then got the glass of Kvas as I poured it. "There you go, I'll put it on your tab." I said as I went to walk over to another customer when Billy stopped me and I looked at him. "Come on Amira..be a bit more friendlier not so professional" Billy said
I was going to tell him I was on the clock but then my manager came over seeing Billy had a hold of my arm. "Is something going on here?" My manager asked as I shook my head but Billy only smirked. "I'd love to have Amira sit with me and my brother." He said then offered my manager three hundred dollars as I looked at my manager knowing that it was a business. I needed to be working not keeping my potential suitors company but my manager accepted the three hundred dollars Billy offered. "Amira, from now until I say otherwise make sure the brothers are tended to..oh and you're leading the performance tonight." My manager said
Billy smirked as he got his way picking up the beer and glass of Kvas "This way Amira." Billy said as I had no choice but to follow. Billy made me sit between them but as I sat there looking at the two Billy Set Aleksander's kvas infront of him as Aleksander looked at me. He didn't say anything which told me this was all Billy's doing. "Well now she is ours for the next few hours." Billy said
Sitting there while the two were drinking their drinks, I was unsure what they were going to do but then Billy put a hand under my chin and had me look at him. "Aleks says he got to kiss you last night..unexpected or not you're one lucky girl. He hasn't kissed a girl in a long time." Billy said as he seemed to lean in but I covered my mouth so he couldn't kiss me. I was sober when that accidental kiss happened with Aleksander but I had respect for myself.
"Come on Amira, let me have a chance." Billy said as Aleksander seemed to notice and his arm went around me and pulled me to him. I hated it but I blushed slightly at Aleksander's move as I knew that he was trying to win just as much as Billy was. I'd somehow become this girl stuck between them. "Aleksander, I really need to get back to work." I said yet he didn't say anything because Billy had paid for my time. I was still making money but not tips anymore. "I'll make sure you get the money you would have made tonight." Aleksander said
My hero..not. You both are just fighting over me now. I thought
When the bar performance was getting ready, I was able to get out of that booth and get ready as I walked out. I had to run into the bathroom to change my attire as I came out with a hoodie since I was leading this. The twins were watching me and I just had to ignore them. Nicolas was there helping out as I knew exactly what song it was when the music started. I knew it was Buttons by Pussycat dolls by the music and as we went about the routine I took the hoodie off revealing the black outfit on me.
Aleksander seemed to be watching me as I did my best to keep my eyes off of him and his brother as I was dancing alone while the others were choosing people to entertain. I was used to dancing alone while singing. That when we all gathered back in the group I was focused on the routine still yet I watched seeing Aleksander and Billy looking at me. The look in their eyes easy to read but this was part of my job description ever since my boss figured out I could sing and dance.
When it was time for the next one that was not as revealing as I picked up the hoodie jacket and put it on as Nicolas took my hand and he smiled. Everyone soon got up and got a partner as the music soon started for 5678 by Steps. I loved how free this one was as I could move freely but also be covered up at the same time as Nicolas and I danced.
I noticed that Aleksander and Billy were not liking this but it was part of my job as I enjoyed being able to do this. I liked just being covered back up and dancing with a friend when things were starting to calm down but then my manager motioned for me to take the mic. I knew what she was up to as I knew that we ended with Shatter me by Lindsey Stirling ft Lizzy Hale. So I knew exactly what I was going to do as I changed to an ear mic so I could dance freely when it started.
I had also used the time to change into something a little more comfortable as I came out when it was time to sing. I closed my eyes as I knew this touched something inside me as I had feared what would happen when someone found me. Aleksander had made me feel something I never thought possible but I wasn't ready to admit it. Still I danced and sang the song as I liked it. Yet when I opened my eyes at a section I noticed that both twins were by me and I looked between them. Both opening their hand to me as I had to choose and you guessed it I chose Aleksander as he had not given me a reason to doubt but he made my dancing easier to guide as I looked at him.
When we were done with the dance I hated that Aleksander and I were so close as I felt my heart beating in my chest..I wanted to kiss him but I knew better. Aleksander smirked at me but I got free and started to walk away. My manager pulled me aside and she gave me some of the money Billy gave her but she seemed to be in thought. "Your done tonight. Go ahead and clock out then enjoy a few hours to relax." My manager said which shocked me.
The twins are ruining my working hours. I thought
I decided to take her up on it though as I clocked out and then took a seat at the bar. I could get drinks half off so I got one as Nadia looked at me concerned. "That kind of night already?" Nadia asked as I nod. "It's not going to get any better till I make a choice." I said as I groaned. "Make it a double so when we go home I can crash." I sad as Nadia nod in agreement making my drink.
I drank it but despite knowing I should drink it slow I downed it like it was nothing. Billy came over got another Beer when he noticed the empty glass. He looked at me but I was not in the mood for him or Aleksander. I had another knowing I just needed to be wasted deal with the hangover before class. Yet when I ordered another Billy looked at Nadia "Add it to our tab." He said as Nadia and I looked at him but she didn't argue with him.
Again I downed that one and that was my mistake cause when I was ready to get up half an hour later Aleksander and Billy were both there to grab me. I was buzzed and I looked at them but instead of being angry with them I just smiled. Aleksander didn't seem to like it his expression was displeased yet Billy merely smirked. He put a hand on my cheek "Well Sweetheart you seem to be enjoying your buzz." Billy said as Billy went to lean in to kiss me but Aleksander pulled me from Billy.
"Aw come on Aleks, have some fun." Billy said looking at him as he looked at me, I didn't really think of my situation at the time. Yet before Billy could make another move on me I felt Aleksander do something I didn't expect buzzed or not. He picked me up and took me from Billy. "She's practically drunk, she doesn't need you making a fool of her." Aleksander said as he looked at Nadia "I'll be taking her home, she's going to be feeling it in the morning." He said as I tried to fight against him but he adjusted me over his shoulder as I closed my eyes and I literally started to hit him
"Hit me all you want Amira, you're not going to win." Aleksander said as I huffed in anger. He got me in his car somehow and then started the car as Billy came out. "Come on brother, she's ours to share. Not yours to do with as you see fit." Billy said trying to reason with him. "She's been choosing me for things right now, she's comfortable with me Billy. So as far as I'm concerned she's mine." Aleksander said in a firm tone as Billy backed off.
I closed my eyes at some point of the trip but then was awake with something close to my mouth. I was unsure as I opened my lips seeing a cup as I looked at Aleksander "Drink." He said as I did as he said but then wanted to gag the moment it touched my tongue. Coffee, I hated coffee but my buzz was gone. I looked around seeing we were in a parking lot and then looked at Aleksander.
"I was at the bar.." I said as Aleksander seemed annoyed before he put the car in drive and drove for some time. "I can't let you go back to your Dorm room buzzed like that, what if someone took advantage of you for being that way." Aleksander said as he looked at the road but I could feel the anger coming off him. "I.." I looked out the window knowing that this was never going to end till I made a choice.
When he stopped infront of the dorms I looked at the door I was supposed to walk in when I looked at him. "Go on Amira. You've had a rough night already." Aleksander said yet he didn't look at me as I looked at him. "This won't stop until I choose, will it? I'll see you both everyday." I asked as Aleksander didn't say anything right away. "Yes, but Billy just wants a fair chance." Aleksander said
Can I do that..when I feel a connection with you? I thought
I reached over and touched his hand as he looked at me. "I'll try but..I have to be honest." I said as I adjusted myself in the seat as he looked at me. I had taken the seatbelt off and I leaned in and closed my eyes for a second. "I have felt a connection with you..and not so much Billy." I admitted as I opened my eyes. He looked at me and for a second I thought he'd tell me to get out but instead he put a hand on my cheek and pulled me close as his lips met mine.
For a few moments I lost myself in our kiss before he pulled away "You should go before this goes somewhere you don't want it to." Aleksander said as I almost wanted to take the risk but I backed down and nod. "Good Night Aleksander." I said as I got out of the car and went in to head to the Dorms. Once inside I had a shower but I was expecting that things were not going to get any easier.
