The Secret Chapter 7

After arriving at Chicago. I decided to get a part time job partly because I was a little short on cash. Then I found myself working at a nightclub café sort of thing. It was a little place that opens at night for people to enjoy some singing and sometimes dancing. I thought it was just perfect; I loved nice environment. Then came my first day at the job.

When I got there, people were already there lining up to get in. I got in the by the back doors. When I walked in, there were a few girls there. All of them were getting the place in order. Then my manager came to me and said, "Glad you could make it, now hurry up and start working."

"Umm.. But what exactly do I do?" I asked her. She was quite impatient.

"Well missy, you are going to be serving drinks like the rest of them." She pointed to those other girls. Then she left.

"Don't mind her. I'm Teresa, nice to meet you." A girl popped up behind me.

"Hi, you work here too?" I smiled.

"Yup, I can help you if you like." She said it as she brushed back her curly blonde hair.

"Wow! That'll be great! Thanks!"

Teresa, who was a very nice girl, showed me how to serve the customer and what to do. I was so glad that I met her. I wouldn't know what to do if I hadn't met her. She was a lot of help to me. Soon, the place was filled with people and music had started. In the middle, there were dancing going on. Off to the side is where most people sit and talk. Also different bands performed on stage live.

Everything went great that night. It was the second night that I worked there that I met someone. That night when I was serving him a drink, I accidentally dropped it on the floor. I quickly bend down to clean it.

"Oh my gosh, I - I am so sorry." I said as I bend down to wipe everything off the floor.

"That's okay." The customer bends down as well.

As I looked beyond my hair in the dark lights, I saw his face. He had dark brown hair and the most beautiful eyes. Well, almost as cute as Kai. We switched looks at each other. I quickly cleaned off and got him another drink. Then I accidentally asked without knowing, "So are you waiting for someone?"

He looked at the drink next to him and said, "Well not exactly, my date is dancing with someone else."

"Oh, I'm sorry." I apologized for being so rude.

"Well, that's okay." He smiled, "it was our first date anyways."

Then at the same time, Teresa came by, "Hey Kelly, you're done tonight."

"Ok, thanks." I replied.

"Well you're off work, I don't mind some company." He said.

"Umm.... ok, I guess for a little while." So I sat down.

"So Kelly, what's interesting about you?" He asked as he picked up his glass.

I laughed. "I don't know where to start."

He then said I had the cutest laugh his ever heard. I was flattered. He was a nice guy for a conversation. We talked about for 10 minutes, and then I realized I had to get back to the hotel.

"Alright, if you don't mind I can give you a ride." He offered.

"Umm.... sure." Without thinking hard enough, I agreed.

He had a pretty snazzy car. When we arrived at my hotel. I stopped to say thanks and good-bye.

"Well, thanks a whole bunch tonight, for the ride and everything." I said.

"Your very welcome, Kelly." He had a gorgeous smile across his face.

"Oh I'm sorry, I didn't even get your name."

"I'm Matt." He said.

"Thank you again, Matt." I giggled, "Good night."

But what I was unexpected was the hug he gave me. I mean it was quick and all, but I never knew he would do it. So I quickly got off his car and went inside.
