It had been three weeks now since Lucy had became Dakota and Alaska was impressed with how quickly the girl had picked up the skills. She knew when she needed to flirt more to get the extra cash coming in, which customers could be talked into buying doubles of what they asked for and which customers were stubborn fuckers.

Tallahassee hadn’t liked Dakota, just like Texas and Alaska had predicted. Tallahassee was a bitch and didn’t seem to like anyone especially not Alaska. She hated the fact that her own Aunt, Serendipity, seemed to favour Alaska over her, over her own flesh and blood.

It was a busy night at O’s, the Raven’s had just won a game and all the males in Baltimore were over the moon. Thus, the bar was packed and everyone was roped into helping, Alaksa and Texas taking one half of the bar while Tallahassee and Serendipity took the other.

“Hey, what can I get y’all?” Alaska asked, shooting a bright smile at the group of boys that were sat one some stools at her corner of the bar. She waited patiently noticing how a couple of them looked her up and down taking in her tight low slung jeans and her fitted bralet top.

“Four beers and four shots of vodka” the one with the hair like the skunk answered, grinning at her as she nodded. Hand’s immediately reaching under the counter to pull out four bottles, popping the tops off on the edge of the counter before handing them to him. Quickly lining up shot glasses and pouring the clear spirit into it, turning back to him with another bright smile hand out patiently for the money.

“Forever young. I wanna be, forever young. Do you really want to live forever” her mouth lowly singing along to the One Direction song that was playing in the background, she hated the band but damn the lyrics are catchy.

“Forever, forever young!” the ground of boys chipped in singing loudly and excitedly, wide smiles on their faces causing her to chuckle to herself.

“I’m Jack, what’s your name pretty lady?” he asked, his lines were as corny as they came and Alaska immediately could tell that the group was harmless and would be easy for tips.

“Stick around and maybe you will find out” Alaska replied, turning to give him a glance over her shoulder as she made away to the next customer, shooting him a last minute wink.

“That is what I would like for my birthday please” Jack beamed, turning to look at Alex, Zack and Rian who rolled their eyes. They were used to Jack’s antics, he was like a magpie, but instead of being drawn to shiny objects he was drawn to pretty faces.

“Sure you would” Alex muttered pulling a face as he slammed the shot glass on the table, the vodka burning the back of his throat.

“Why are we here again?” Rian asked, taking a sip of the beer as he scanned the bar. It was packed with college students, mainly of the male gender, and was buzzing with conversation. It was hard to track down O’s as it was a little hole-in-the-wall kind of the place but with the amount of people in they would never have to worry about going out of business.

“We’re trying to find where Lucy is working” Zack mumbled, eyes also scanning the place but he could safely say that his sister wasn’t working here; this was the type of place Lucy wouldn’t even step in.

“Yo, it’s one!” One of the college students shouted, motioning towards the digital clock that was hung above the bar, the boys furrowed their brows wondering what that was meant to mean.

Alaska rolled her eyes, nodding slightly to Dip who headed out to the back to turn the stereo up and to give the customers what they came for. Receiving a hand from Texas she crawled onto the stage, standing dead centre, the beer tap dangling from her hand.

“Hello y’all” Alaska shouted out to the crowd receiving cheers back from the crowd, “Now I’m sure you know that at one every night we have a happy ten minutes before closing. If we like the look of you, we might spray you some beer right, Texas?” Alaksa asked, turning to smile at the red head who nodded to the crowd, smiling devilishly with her hands on her hips.

“Exactly, Alaska” Texas replied, Alaska noticed out of the corner of her eye Tallahassee rolling her eyes before exiting the room to go on her break. As the intro of Pour Some Sugar started she inwardly cringed, allowing herself to coyly smile to the group of boys that had made their way to the front of the bar, she clutched the tap in her hand, spraying beer into the crowd, covering the men in the sticky system causing them to cheer in delight.

Turning around, she offered a hand to Texas pulling her onto the stage, both of them began dancing, rocking their hips side to side, trying to pinpoint target in the audience who would be easy tips. Alaska made her way down to the bottom towards a group of college students, who could have only just turned 21.

Beckoning one forward, she ran her hand down his face, smiling as she noticed the glimmer in his eye, all she needed was a pole and she would practically be a stripper. After a couple of minutes she left the boy, standing back on the bar and nodding to Dip who stood leaning against the door frame, signalling for her to get Lucy.

Heading back to Texas, a pitcher of water in her hand, Alaska poured it over Texas, causing her white shirt to stick to her skin. The men cheered, this was easy money, and they would pay more to see them dance than they did for the drinks.

Lucy finally made her way from the back, jumping onto the counter, crawling through Alaska’s legs and whipping her hair around, the cold water hitting her skin causing water to flick into the crowd. Alaska held out a hand to pull Lucy up, allowing her enough room to squeeze between her and Texas, all three with pitchers in their hand which they continued to pour over each other or the crowd.

Texas leaned down to grab the bottle of whisky, cracking it open as Alaksa laid on the table, allowing for Texas to pour some in her mouth before doing a body shot off of her, Lucy had made her way towards Tallahassee side of the bar which she had abandoned, the men had been getting restless at not being able to see anything.

Alaska turned to make her way down to the group of guy’s she was speaking to earlier, motioning for the skunk boy to come closer, lifting the beer tap up and spraying it into his mouth, some of it going down her shirt in the process. He slammed a ten dollar bill on the table; a wink was the only reply he got as she leaned past him towards his muscle friend, grabbing his shirt and dragging him closer. Alaska ran a hand down his chest, her eye brow rising as she noticed the muscles that rippled under her hand.

“Want some big boy?” She asked, motioning to the beer. Zack merely shrugged his head stepping back and sitting on his stool, a blush erupting onto his cheeks when he noticed people were turning to stare at him.

“Your loss” Alaska shrugged, pocketing the ten dollars and beginning to turn away, to find someone that was willing to tip her in the last few minutes remaining.

“Wait, who’s the hottie?” Skunk boy asked, motioning towards Lucy who was pouring shots of vodka into boys’ mouths in exchanging for the dollar bills.

“That is Dakota” Alaska grinned, happy that this wasn’t turning into a lost cause, all she needed to do was switch sides with her and they would be rolling in the tips.

“Yo, Kota! Switch sides” Alaska called, leaving the group as the song was coming towards an end, Dakota stood, eye brow raised in confusion but doing exactly as Alaska said, passing the bottle to Texas who began pouring it on the counter, taking a match out of her purse and dropping it causing flames to dance around them.

“30 seconds” Serendipity called, her eyes borrowing into her staff, who worked their hips a little bit harder, whipping their hair a little bit longer, smiling a little bit wider.

“What can I do for you?” Dakota began, bending down to face the group of boys Alaska had pointed her to.

“Zack?!” Dakota practically shouted, mouth falling open as she saw her brother’s face in front of her, his jaw tightened in anger as he took in her wet skin tight clothes, well what little clothes she had on.

“Shit, the hottie was Lucy” Jack muttered to Alex who merely shook his head, now was not the time.
