Chapter 1
It was a typical Tuesday night, me- working behind the bar in tight fitted black dress serving half or fully drunken men.
"Hey Foxy." I hear a gruff voice behind me, it was one of the regulars- I didn't know his name but I knew that face. He's asked for private dances from me but I've always declined. He can get a bit handsy.
"What can I get you handsome?" I spoke in a sweet alluring voice, it was the only way I knew the punters would keep coming back. A slight smirk made its way on to his face as his eyes scanned my body.
"No dancing today little one?" He asked almost in a taunting way. I work here at the B&B (Booze & Boobs) five days a week, two out of those five days I work as a dancer. Its not my ideal job but I have two kids to think about.
I rolled my eyes as I poured him a shot of vodka before speaking to him-
"You come here so often I'm surprised you don't know what days I dance." I placed the shot in front of him. He eyed his drink before throwing it down his throat.
"Why don't you give me a private one then?" He was trying to be cocky, and trust me cocky didn't suit him at all. Before I had a chance to crush his hopes and dreams my phone chimed-
Seth landed himself in jail again. Bored and hungry come bail him out so I can eat- Rose.
I was livid. I work my ass off for that kid and he goes and gets himself into trouble. I looked up from my phone to see me boss standing where Mr Cocky was.
"Everything okay Roxanne?" Jeremiah is quite handsome, shaggy blond hair, deep brown eyes, but he wasn't exactly my type- yeah don't get me wrong he was gorgeous and any sane girl would be crazy if they didn't have thoughts of him but I needed this job, even if I hated it.
"My brother all but gone and got himself thrown in jail. I'm sorry to ask this Jer, but can I leave early? I promise it wont happen again." I pleaded with my boss in a hurry. His eyes softened and I knew I was in the clear.
I ran out from behind the bar before making my way to him.
"Thank you Jer, I promise I'll make it up to you tomorrow."
"You mean you'll make it up to me by bringing in the punters seeing as your dancing tomorrow?" He questioned.
"Exactly."

As I walked into the police station I scanned looking for any sign of a fourteen year old girl. I finally spotted her sitting on one of the waiting chairs flicking through an English book.
That girl is too smart for her age.
"Where is he?" My sister looked up from her book and her eyes sparkled interest.
"Their holding him in a cell- please tell me your gonna ground him?" She begged, before I had time to ask her why his ass was in jail in the first place a officer walked towards me.
"Are you Roxanne Miller, legal guardian of Seth Miller?" He questioned, I nodded my head as a sigh left my lips.
"Bail is set at $150 ma'am." One hundred and fifty f*****g dollars?! I'm gonna skin that boy alive.
I looked down at my littler sister while handing her my car keys. "Go wait in the car."
"But I wanna see Seth get shouted at. I know your gonna shout and hell I don't wanna miss the show." Rose rambled out.
"Go." I pointed to the door giving her no room for argument, she huffed out something in Italian before storming out.
"These kids are gonna be the death of me." I mumbled out as I followed the officer.

The station was quiet for a while until the doors slammed open. A guy wearing a leather jacket, cargo pants and had eyes that any woman would get lost in walked into the station. His demeanour was bold, rugged if must.
"Yo, anyone in this hell hole?" He bellowed into the station. Seconds later a female officer came to assist him.
"May I know why your shouting inside the station young man?" She asked with her arms crossed- which of course pushed up her chest in her uniform. He saw his opportunity.
"Sorry pretty lady, I just really want my buddy out of jail. It was all a miss understanding." He spoke out in a husky like voice, he instantly peaked her interest and she was a blushing mess.
"Sure thing honey, whats his name?" He told her his name and she happily went off to fetch his friend.
***
I marched out of the room I was currently in and into the main entrance of the station.
"Roxy come on. I'm sorry." Seth apologised behind me, I turned around to face him before pointing my finger at him.
"I left work Seth. Work, the thing I do to pay for you, to keep you healthy and safe and what do you do? You go at get yourself f*****g arrested." I whisper shouted at him, I was a lot shorter than my brother- I was about 5'4 while he was currently 5'10 almost 5'11. It must have been hilarious seeing a short red head shouting at a a tall red head brute like Seth.
"Look I'm sorry I just-" Seth was cut off as the same police officer came back out.
"I'm sorry ma'am, a couple of paper work were miss-signed."
I sighed in disappointment. I wanted to get out of here already.
"Okay I'm coming." I directed my attention to Seth, "Go wait in the car, Rose is already in there." I didn't wait for his reply as I followed the officer.
***
As Seth made his way out of the station someone else entered the main entrance and made his way over to the guy in leather. This guy was dressed the same, the only difference between the two of them was the guy from before had Strawberry blond hair- almost ginger, while this guy had brown hair.
"Took you long enough to come and get me." He spoke out
"Slade, you should be grateful it was me who came and got you." The other guy said in a cocky like attitude.
"Whatever Grudge." Slade let out a huff, before the could leave the station Roxy walked right into him causing her to fall to the ground.
"Shit." She muttered.
Both guys looked down at her as she dusted herself off. She got up and was stunned by the beauty of both guys, but one peaked her interest more than the other.

"Thanks for helping me up, that was real nice of you." I told them sarcastically as I dusted myself off. The one I had bumped into me just stared at me like he was staring into my soul or something, while the other one had a sly smirk on his face.
"Sorry Red, I didn't notice how gorgeous you were." He spoke in such a calm but cocky manner. I quickly observed both of them, they must have been in some sort of gang because they both wore cargo pants and leather jackets, I briefly scanned it and saw a patch like symbol on it but didn't have enough time until I heard the station door close. I realised the one that had spoke to me had left and the jackass but gorgeous one was still here, staring at me.
"Next time, watch where your going."
I'm sorry, what?!
