It was April, a chilly Saturday night, at the club she served at. She got the job 2 weeks ago. She needed the money to get out of the crappy apartment she lived in: only one room, carpet looking as if numerous people were shot on it, windows tiny, shower only working every few days. She tried to save money for a house she saw a few weeks ago a little outside St. Louis: two stores, six rooms, big windows, a hot tub and even a little garden. The job at the restaurant didn't pay her that much, so she got a second job. Restaurant during the day, club at night.
Sometimes she could barely stand at the end of the night due to exhaustion, let alone had the time to find the guy to marry, the guy of her dreams, the guy she wanted to spend the rest of her life with.
Until that very night.
She's seen him the moment he walked in. The sleeveless shirt showing off his numerous tattoos on those well-defined arms, the tightness of the shirt giving a hint at what laid underneath. His blue eyes cold, but shiny… a combination you barely find. His small lips formed in a smirk, a smirk to die for.
She barely recognized the other guys he walked in with, her eyes only drawn to his stature, her mouth getting dry in an instant, her knees becoming shaky as he made his way to the bar, the bar she stood behind.
She swallowed hard, trying to steady herself at the counter, taking several deep breaths as he sent her a warm smile.
"Hey."
His voice was dark and raw, having that little tone of erotic in it.
She swallowed again, sending him a warm smile of her own, showing off her shiny white teeth.
"Hi. What can I get you?"
He smirked, that incredible smirk again, leaning over the counter to speak above the loud music, getting closer to her, so close she could feel his breath on her skin as he talked into her ear.
"Four beer and four shots of Tequila."
She got wet in an instant, that voice of him sending chills down her back, his breath tingling her ear almost sending her over the edge.
She nodded slowly, turning around to start doing her job, trying to concentrate on her task of pouring the beer.
