Tough Lover
.
Alex’s POV
“So what does one have to do to be able to get from behind the bar to the stage?” I asked the person I was working with who happened to be called Alec.
“Dude you serious? Look your cute and all but you ain’t stage material.” Alec said and I just rolled my eyes at him.
“I’m being deadly serious here and how do you know, I’ve only been here a week.” I said and Alec chuckled.
“You’re only here because you are a stubborn bastard and decided to do bar work without even telling anyone.” Alec said and I just smiled at him.
“Well a guy has to have a roof over his head.” I said and walked off and sorted the place out before the club opened.
The club was busy like normal but at the same time there wasn’t much to do behind the bar other than watching the dancer on stage which I didn’t mind but since it was just females on stage I didn’t have any decent eye candy to help kill the time.
“Are you actually going to do anything?” Alec said and I looked at him.
“Of course, but the bar isn’t exactly busy.” I said and someone came up to the bar.
“Well there you go, you’re dealing with him.” Alec said and I rolled my eyes and walked over to the guy.
“What’s your poison then?” I asked and the guy looked at me and he did look really upset but I wasn’t going to intrude.
“The strongest drink you have, actually get me a bottle of vodka.” The guy said and and I nodded and walked towards Alec.
“So he wants a bottle of vodka, am I allowed to give him a bottle vodka or is there rules on that.” I said and Alec frowned at me.
“You can’t give him a bottle of vodka you dumbass, just give him shots.” Alec said and I shrugged my shoulders and walked back over to the guy.
“Well sadly I can’t give you the bottle of vodka, but I can do a vodka mixed drink if you fancy that instead.” I said and the man looked at me.
“Fine, just put plenty of vodka in the drink.” The man said and he spun round to watch the girls on the stage as I made his drink up.
It was the end of the night and the man was out of his face and some of us was sat round the bar watching him.
“He looks so sad.” A girl called Ali said and we looked at her.
“Well why don’t you go over and cheer him up then.” Alec said and Ali looked at him.
“Because I’m about to go home and have food because I am starving.” Ali said and she stood up and walked off and Alec looked at me.
“Your time to shine.” Alec said as he walked off and I sighed and walked over to the man who was now facing towards the bar.
“I believe you have had enough to drink now.” I said as I took the bottle of vodka away from him which made him look at me.
“Give it back.” He slurred and I shook my head.
“Sir, I’m afraid it’s now closing time and I’m not allowed to serve you anymore drinks.” I said and the man bang his fists against the bar.
“Give me that bottle of vodka now!” The man said loudly.
“And you have had too much to drink. Now I can call you a cab to take you home or you can walk but I’m not going to serve you anymore alcohol because you have had too much to drink.” I said and the man looked at me and you could see the sadness in his eyes.
“The sadness inside won’t last forever. But wasting you life to a bottle of vodka is no good to anyone.” I said quietly and walked off over to the phone.
“I will call him a cab to take him home.” I said and looked at the man who looked beyond drunk.
“I don’t think he even knows his name, let alone his address.” Alec said and I groaned quietly to myself.
“Really can’t be dealing with him in my apartment. It’s fucking tiny.” I said and Alec shrugged his shoulders.
“Can’t bring him home with me, I’ve got the mrs to worry about.” Alec said and I rolled my eyes and walked over the man.
“Come on sunshine, let’s get you home.” I said as I put my jacket on and walked round to the other side of the bar and stood by the man and looked at him.
“Not going home.” The man said and I rolled my eyes.
“Well I don’t know about you but I’m tired. So I’m going home but sadly I can’t leave you here so you are coming with me.” I said and the man looked at me.
“I can’t remember my address.” The man said.
“It’s okay, you can crash round mine tonight.” I said softly as I helped him to stand and we walked outside and got into the taxi.
I told the taxi my address and I sat next to this man hoping that he wasn’t going to be sick or he wasn’t a murder.
I walked inside of my apartment while having the man lean on me.
“Okay you can have the sofa tonight.” I said and sat the man down and he was out as soon as he lead down.
I took his jacket off and hung it on the back of the chair and I walked over to my unmade bed and pulled the blanket of the bed and walked over to the unconscious man on my sofa and put it over him.
I walked out to the kitchen and got two glasses of water and walked back to the coffee table where I put one glass on the table and I walked over to the bedside table and put it there.
I sat on the bed and thought if I should a bowl by the unconscious man but I decided I would since I didn’t want clean up vomit so I got off the bed and walked to the kitchen and picked the bowl up and put it beside the man.
I sighed as I looked at him and I would be lying if I said he wasn’t attractive but at the same time he had money by the clothes he was wearing.
