BELLA POV
A week after I had arrived home from Hawaii I had fully recovered from my jetlag and was feeling much better. Ruby and I had gone into the restaurant to help out and Charlie was bringing Mckenzie in for lunch. Heath was working the bar, Casey was doing deliveries and Ruby and I were waitressing while Brax worked the office. The lunch rush was hectic and we were run off our feet, even more so being two waitresses short. I hurried behind the bar to collect the bill for one of my tables when Heath's phone rang, I hurried over to the table and gave them their bill before Heath called me over "Bella" he called waving me over, I walked over and lent up against the bar "I need you to take over here I have to duck out for a bit" he said "oh okay, are you sure you want me to take over?" I asked uncertain about working the bar alone even though I was fully trained "Bella you are the best bartender I have seen, you'll be fine" he said kissing my cheek and walking out. I stood behind the bar as a middle aged drunk woman stumbled over to the bar and slid onto a stool "hey you're not that hot young barman" she slurred "no I am not, that barman is my brother and he had to leave for a while" I replied with an irritated smile "well in that case I will just have another chardonnay while I wait for him" she said. I pulled out a bottle and glass and quickly filled it placing it on the counter as she handed over some money. I gave her the change and watched as she stumbled off to her table.
I had been working the bar for almost an hour and I had just ducked into the store room to grab a few more bottle when I heard a male voice at the bar "ah is anyone there?" he asked "yeah I'm coming" I said hurrying out of the store room and quickly ducking below the counter to put the wine in the fridge "sorry about that how can I help you?" I asked smiling brightly, it was then that I took the chance to look at him and he was gorgeous, deep tan skin, sparkling brown eyes and rich black hair "ah yeah I will have another water please" he smiled "I'm Logan" he added as I poured his water "well nice to meet you Logan, I am Bella that will be $3.50 please" I smiled as I took the change from him, his hand lightly brushed mine and I felt a jolt of electricity "you know you have to be one of the best looking barstaff I have seen" he said smiling a bright glowing smile that made my stomach flutter "ah thanks" I smiled as he took a seat at the bar. Another man walked up to the bar and ordered a double scotch, I quickly poured his drink handing him his change, all the while I felt Logan watching me with his honey brown eyes.
Heath returned a half an hour later looking slightly relieved "everything alright?" I asked as he kissed my cheek "yeah thanks for covering me hun" he smiled as I quickly wrapped my apron around my waist, I hurried into the kitchen and grabbed some plater taking them out to their table before bumping into Logan again "so is that your boyfriend" he asked nodding towards Heath "ew that's so gross, he is my brother. My other brother is the owner, I'm just helping out" I said as Brax walked out of the office "Belle" he said waving me over "hey your lawyer just called she wants to arrange a meeting for tomorrow, is that okay with you?" he asked "yeah thanks Brax" I smiled as I got back to work. I had been assigned to a table of business workers who had been drinking steadily for almost an hour, one of the main men waved his hand signalling he was ready for his check, I grabbed it and took it over to his table "you forgot the pen" he said and I quickly turned to get one, I heard him click his fingers and all his drunk friends laugh. I stopped dead in my tracks and turned back to face him, by now the slightly less empty restaurant had turned to look at us including my brothers, Ruby and Logan "did you just click your fingers at me?" I asked coldly "well you are the waitress" he laughed and his friends joined in, he held up his fingers again and clicked them, I took the oppturnity and grabbed his fingers, twisting them back "ah!" he cried as I held them firm "you ever click your fingers at me ever again and I will break them off so you can't click ever again. Understand" I said icily. He nodded his head and I released them heading over to the bar, grabbing a pen and placing it in front of him. He signed it quickly and handed it back to me "enjoy your day" I said kindly as I walked back to the bar with a smirk on my face "nice one sis" Heath said holding up his hand, I hi-fived it as Brax quickly bumped my fist. They walked off into the office leaving Logan and I at the bar, he had a smirk on his face "what?" I asked confused "that was pretty smooth" he smiled "thanks, I have three brothers, I have learnt efficient violence without actually doing any damage" I laughed "three brothers" he said and I nodded "all older although Casey and I are twins" I said "ooh twins, that's interesting" he said and I turned my head "how?" I asked "I always wanted to be a twin" he said and I laughed.
Charlie walked in carrying Mckenzie, the restaurant had quietened down and was now almost empty, I was sitting at the bar talking to Logan when Charlie walked up to us "hey Charls" I smiled as I picked Mckenize up out of her pram "Brax, Charlie is here" I called "Logan this is my sister in law Charlie and my niece Mckenzie" I said kissing Mckenzie's cheek "hey little one" I smiled as she placed her hands on the sides of my face and kissed my nose "oh thank you baby girl" I smiled kissing her nose in return "Bewl-a" she said "yeah that's me" I smiled as Brax walked around the counter "hey honey" Brax said kissing Charlie "where is my baby girl" he asked looking at Mckenzie "dada" she cried holding out her hands as I passed her to him "there she is, aren't you looking pretty today" he smiled "I have to head off, it was really great meeting you Bella. I'll see you around" Logan said smiling cutely "yeah you will" I replied blushing slightly as he walked off. Brax took Mckenzie into the office to see Heath and Charlie looked at me "what?" I asked "you know what, who's the hottie?" she asked "oh that's Logan, he has been in here for a few hours" I said nodding "he's cute" she said "Charlie you do realise your married to my brother – and he is only 19" I laughed as she sat across from me "that's not what I meant, he seemed pretty taken with you" she said and I looked at her shocked "what?" I asked "oh come on you didn't notice it, he couldn't take his eyes off of you" she smiled "but I am with Cooper" I said "yeah but it is always nice to have male attention" she said before she got up and walked into Brax's office leaving sitting alone in the almost empty office wondering what the hell I had just done.
What did you think? I got this idea in a dream and I had to write it, thankfully an idiot decided it would be a good idea to call me at 3am and I couldn't get back to sleep so I quickly wrote it up. Bella has always attracted creeps (apart from Cooper) and I wanted to show a bit of conflict with Bella meeting a guy she was attracted to and not really realising it and then feeling guilty. There is still a week before Cooper is back so I will be putting more of this stuff in before then and then delving in deeper when he gets back so I hope you all like the idea. Please review or PM and tell me what you thought. Review, Dannielle xoxo
