Chapter 1
Sammy Pov
BEEP BEEP BEEP I turn my alarm off. I turned over, not wanting to get out of bed. I stayed in bed for another ten minutes, then decided to get up. I walked across the room to the bathroom. I turned on the shower, so it was nice hot for me to just step in it. I brush my teeth while I wait. Once it's ready, i step in and wash my hair and clean myself.
I step out of the shower once I've finished, and prepare myself for a long day, I walk back across the room. My little apartment isn't that big, but it does me fine and its all i can afford. I put on my uniform, white blouse, pencil skirt with pinny and small heels. I hated my uniform. I put my hair up in a ponytail, put light makeup on, and check if I look ok in the mirror. I grab my bag and walk twenty minutes to work.
Twenty minutes later, I arrived at work. I headed to the staff room, so I could put my bag in my locker. When I get to my locker there is a post-it note on it,
‘ come to my office,
Before you start
G x’
Oh great, now what does he want? I put my bag in my locker and headed down to Grey's office. I knocked on the door “come in”. I entered his office “ you wanted to see me?” not really wanting to be here because he is such a creep. “ yes, I was wondering if you wanted to go on a date with me after work” is he ever going to get the message “ im sorry Grey but i can't sorry, i should go get started” “ok i understand, your on the bar by the way today and tonight” he knows i hate doing the bar, he is only doing it because i turned him down again, such a prick “ ok that's fine”.
I walked out of the office and headed to the bar. Luckily enough, my bestie is at the bar as well, up yours Grey, “ Danny boy”, he sends me a glare. “ You know I hate that pet name you have for me, i need to think of one for you, Sammy baby”. I glare at him and he cracks up laughing "sammy baby it is” i hit his shoulder playfully. “ Fine you win”. He pulls me into a hug. “ I guess you turned him down again since your on the bar” “ yep, he needs to get the hint, she is so weird” “ you can say that again”.
Me and Daniel clean and stock the bar, making sure everything is ready for the day. Grey came towards the bar and i internally cringed, “Sammy, we have important guests coming today, and they will be sitting in the private area. I would like you to be their bartender person please” “ sure no problem when are they arriving”. He checked his watch, “ 1pm, so please make sure the private bar is stocked up please”. I nodded and turned to Daniel and sigh, he gave me a sad face.
I headed to the private bar. I have a couple of hours until the guests arrive. When I enter the private area, someone grabs my wrist and covers my mouth. It's grey, he pushes me up against the wall, “ now behave with our guest, i don't want no funny business, do you understand?'' I shove him away from me “ do the hell do you think you are? You're my manager, not my partner. I will do my job and that's it. Get the hint, Grey, I'm not interested in you”. I shouted at the top of my lungs, pissed off that he had done that, Daniel came darting in. “ Sammy, you ok? I heard you shouting”. He turns to see Grey. Daniel grabs him by his shirt collar. “ what did you do to her? You leave her the f**k alone, do you understand me, because if not you wont like what happens next, do you understand?” Grey sends me a glare and nods to Daniel and walks away. f**k like my day cant get any better.
I and Jess stock up and clean the private area making sure everything is sorted, i'm still pissed at Grey, he is such a d**k, im have a few minutes before Grey brings the guest in, me and Jess are talking about the menu, when the door opens, Grey walks in a send me a glare, i glare back, what a idiot.Grey took the guests to the table and sat them down, then turned his head and gestured for us to hurry up and introduce ourselves to them.
Although I could not stay there for another second, the guests had already turned their attention to us. I could only sigh, me and Jess looked at each other before walking over and taking a position at the round table.
"Excuse me, gentlemen, let me introduce to you. This is Jess. She will be your waitress” he said, gesturing his hand to Jess, “and this is Sammy, she is your bartender”. He pointed to me and sent me a look. I know what that look means, “if you need anything just ask them, enjoy your meal."
When Grey left, I secretly breathed a long sigh of relief, thinking that finally i no longer have to face that annoying guy, now im left here to receive a group of noisy guests, which is better than talking to that guy. With that in mind, I refocused my attention on the guests. The eight guests did not seem to be ordinary people, they were all wearing well-cut suits, bulging muscles which were faintly visible under the suits, they looked like well-trained soldiers.
As I worked, I quietly gawked at the men. One of them caught my attention. The man was wearing a navy blue suit and had ash-blond hair, but the most attractive thing was his blue eyes, like an ocean, especially when you looked into his eyes….Shit! I locked eyes with him! I hurriedly looked down and put on a serious working face, but mentally cursed myself.
