Chapter Text
You were biting your lower lip with eyebrows narrowed as you stared at your phone. Moreover, you were staring at a name of your boyfriend, wondering if you should call or text him. Looking around the bar, it was almost empty, aside from few customers sitting outside, so you went for a call.
It rang few times before it was picked up and gruff voice spoke on the line. “…m’yeah?”
“Hey, babe, did I wake you up?” Your voice was quiet and gentle. You knew he loved to sleep longer on weekend, especially if he didn’t have any games or training to do.
“…no…” There was a yawn and you chuckled. “What’s up?”
“I’ll have to cancel our date today.” You bit lip, waiting for his response, but all you were met with was silence. “Co-worker that should have come in afternoon fell and cut the back of her head, so I need to fill in for her as well.” You shortly explained, yet there was still silence. Pulling phone away, you frowned as the call was still going through. Putting it back on ear, you let out a silent sigh. “I’m sorry, baby…” You added in quiet voice.
“So when you endin’?” Nash’s voice sounded more awake and perhaps you misheard, but he coughed, hiding the disappointment.
You looked at a couple that passed the bar and smiled at them, giving a nod, when they looked your way. “If there’s no crowd then at 10, like usually.” you answered, eyes falling on a customer, who stood up and left. “Since it’s Tuesday, there’s a chance it might be calm, but I don’t know…” you admitted with a sigh.
“Then I’ll have whole day to myself, huh?” You could hear smirk in his voice.
“Unfortunately for me, fortunately for you.” You chuckled. “Will you be okay without me?”
“Hey, if I managed to survive without you till now, then you can bet I’ll survive today.” Nash joked and you laughed.
“Sorry again. I know you don’t like when plans go to shit.” There was laughter and a smile spread over your lips. Seeing few people walking, you sighed once more. “I need to go. Few customers came.”
“Mm’kay…” Nash murmured.
“Love you,” You said and waited for few seconds, wondering if he will say it back or not, but hanged up quickly after. You weren’t even sure why you expected him to say it when he rarely did. Taking in a deep breath, you put phone in pocket, took a deep breath and walked from the counter, a smile automatically spreading over your lips. It was only 11 in the morning, but you already felt exhausted. Sometimes you wondered if working in a bar was what you truly wanted, but you knew the answer was far from that.

There was a sigh as you reached for your neck and tilted head to the side. You heard a snap and groaned before you slowly tilted head to the other side, hearing snap once again. Looking around the bar it was almost empty, but you could see light of a motorcycle outside. Unconsciously you bit your lower lip, hoping it would be your boyfriend, but much to your disappointment, he turned the other way.
Your phone rang and you looked at it, frowning when it was only a message from your friend. Pushing it to the side, you huffed and bit your lower lip hard, knowing there was no way Nash would come. But for some reason you still hoped he would come.
Hearing the doors open you smiled and were ready to greet the customer only to stop midway when you saw that it was Nash standing there with his friends behind. You snorted, half expecting that he would bring friends if he even comes. Shaking your head, you watched them walk to a table in the corner, almost no one looking your way aside from Nash, who was smirking.
Of course he would. You smiled and took note papers along with pen before you walked to their table.
“Hey, [Name],” Jason greeted you with a smile wide and laugh loud.
“Hey, Silver,” You greeted back and at everyone else. “So…what can I get you, fine gentlemen?” you asked, readying yourself to write it down.
“You need to ask?” Zack grinned.
“Well maybe some of you changed your minds?” Raising an eyebrow, you looked from one to another. “No?” You shook with head and laughed when they stared at you, some looking unimpressed. “Alright, alright,” With chuckle you walked back to the counter to get their drinks.
Music playing in the background, you began humming to it. Pouring the scotch in glasses, you turned around and almost jumped when a man stood on the other side of the bar. You immediately smiled. “What can I get you?” You asked while opening a fridge where ice was kept in.
“Ya have beer on tap, dove?” he asked with a smile that sent shivers down your spine.
“Sorry, not at the moment, but we will have it. Not sure exactly when.” You answered politely. “Can I get you any other beer?”
“Well what kind do you have?”
You could feel his eyes rave over your body, lingering on your chest mostly and you gulped. Unconsciously glancing towards Nash you saw him talking with Silver and moaned quietly. You always seemed to have bad luck on your back. Forcing a smile, you turned back to the man after taking out a random beer, opened it and put it in front of him. “I hope this one is fine.” you said, took the ice and walked back to the tray where you had scotch and whiskey prepared. “Damn these old fools, foolin’ around like I’m some kind of fuck toy for them to fuckin’ mess with me.” You were murmuring under your breath as you made your way towards Nash and his group.
Hearing you come, Nash smiled at you, but frowned when he saw your expression that tried to hide the annoyance. He raised an eyebrow and looked towards the bar, where a man was ogling you from behind, with eyebrows raised and tongue licking his lips. A scowl soon spread over his face and the moment you put the last drink down, Nash stood up, making you almost crush into his chest.
“Nash, what the?” You asked, but he ignored you as he made his way to the bar counter. Your eyes widened and you quickly held onto his arm, making him look at you. “‘S fine.” You hissed and tugged on his arm harsher.
“He’s fuckin’ you with his eyes and you’re tellin’ me all’s fine?” He scowled and tried to push you aside, but you held onto him tighter.
“Yes, it’s fine, ‘cause I said so.” You groaned, stepping between him and the distance he had from the man. “He hadn’t done anything yet and the moment he does, I’ll call you over. Okay?”
Nash gritted his teeth as he slid his hand into yours, intertwining your fingers together. He leaned down and pressed a kiss on your cheek and a smile spread over your lips. “I wanna choke him.” He groaned against your lips and you laughed.
“You’re not the only one.” You said and pulled away. “I’m sorry our date was ruined.”
“Yeah?” He smirked and looked into your eyes, swiping a stray of hair from your cheek. “You have to make it up to me then. I mean, I was looking forward to it.”
With a snort, you rolled your eyes and stood on your toes, leaning close to him as you whispered into his ear. Pulling away, you watched his expression that changed from confusion to surprise before his eyes searched yours.
“Well you better stick to that plan of yours then.” He slapped your ass as you turned to walk back to the counter.
A gasp escaped your lips and your heard Nash laugh while your cheeks grew hot and dark. You looked at the man, who watched you with narrowed eyebrows. “Boyfriends…” You shrugged, shaking your head.
