Tye, Tattoo, Tragedy

I have not slept this well in years, even when I was living at home my mattress was a crappy cracker. I took in the warmth of the blanket and the great smelling scent of vanilla and fresh-mowed grass. If I woke up like this every morning I would probably never leave this room. Moaning at the warmth I pressed my nose into the soft blanket and came in contact with soft skin next to it.

I opened my eyes to see my nose centimeters from sniffing a hand. I jerked upright to see the guy that was in the picture I was given yesterday. He looked just like the guy in the picture with his brown hair and slashes of aqua blue strands that were weirdly dyed in my opinion. His face looked soft with his tan skin. I couldn't see much of his body since he still had his clothes on and the blanket covered up most of him.

I was so tired and exhausted I almost forgot I was rooming with someone. I clutched my head feeling a pulsing ache run throughout my brain and the rest of my body groaning at me too. I rolled out of the bed and tugging one of my bags with me into the bathroom.

Looking at the time I realized it had just reached noon. Which meant I was on the cleanup crew and needed to get going. On my phone were five missed calls from Teal and one call from Andrew. I ignored them chucking my phone back in the bag. I would deal with them later because if I pissed off boss, he would have no hesitation to fire me and I would be homeless for sure.

Taking a quick shower and putting on the bars logo shirt with jeans I walked out of the bathroom to see the sleepy head still snoozing. Guess we will meet another day, I exited the room and going down the hall that leads to the main dance floor. I saw Bulk by the register counting cash as we gave each other a wave.

I went behind the bar jumping onto the back of Teddy, "Morning" hugging him from behind.

"Well looks like someone slept well" Teddy nudged me off of him and shoving shot glasses in front of me to dry off.

"So how was your client?" he maneuvered around me to organize the place.

"Um," I hesitated not even sure what his name was. "I don't know, he was asleep when I woke up" I responded honestly.

Teddy gave me an are you serious look "You just slept with someone that you don't know the name of."

"You do that all the time" I shot back "And we didn't sleep together we just shared the same bed" I threw the rag down.

"Right," he said rolling his eyes.

"Remind me to change your bandages before we open again otherwise you are going to scare off all the hot customers" I rolled my eyes and swatted him with my drying towel, getting ready for a long day's work.

I want to say that the rest of the day passed by like a breeze from cleaning and endless washing of glasses. By the time the bar's doors opened the usual hustle and bustle came in with customers flooding us for drinks after being on the dance floor.

I took a couple of shots to keep myself going and I served another drink to a sweaty flirty female that had been trying to get my attention for a whole hour. I yelled at Teddy that I was going to take a break. He gave me a sympathetic smile as the female had also gone to him to try and get my number. I grabbed a bottle of Jack sliding Teddy some bills and slid under the counter and making a beeline towards the changing room.

The changing room was pretty much a backroom for all employees to have lunch. Including a place where male and female performs got ready for their performances. I usually hid in one of the stalls to drink away my problems during my break time because I did not like talking to other people at the bar unless necessary conversations were needed to occur.

I opened one curtain hearing a shriek and immediately closed it again. I was not interested in the female performer's breasts sticking out and once you saw the performers taking off their make up it kind of ruined the image you wanted to see if you were into females. Male performers on the other hand were quite something with their packages protruding and boy could they shake their hips. Until they opened their mouths and they became arrogant assholes that only cared about money. I had tried hooking up with one of them in the stalls for free but he wasn't having it unless I paid him. Which I said screw it and bounced out of the stall.
