019

It was Friday and Celeste was just waking up, Jas had been out since early morning at work. She felt like she hadn't seen her or spent time with her for so long.

She picked up her phone to arrange a girls night down at the Mexican restaurant they wanted to try out, she wasn't scheduled in to work tonight which was a rarity so what's a better way to spend it she thought to herself.

As she was typing the text out, Steve called her. She groaned "this better not be you asking me to cover tonight Stevie." She answered the phone.

"Ha no it's not don't worry, but I need you to come down in about 30 minutes as Darcy is heading here. I think it'll be about the new bar, she's asked if we can all come in."

"Sure! I'll be there soon"

Celeste rolled out of bed and dragged herself over to the bathroom to try and wake herself up. As she started to run the tap for wash her face her phone buzzed.

"GIRLS NIGHT! I'll see you when I get home xxxx"

She wandered back into her room which was starting to look very over crowded with all her stuff mixing with Jas'.
She pulled on her favourite sweatshirt and some jeans before grabbing her bag and heading for the bar.

When Celeste got to the bar Steve had been to collect some coffees for everyone from Wanda's.

"I heard you're having a girls night at El Pinchos tonight, sounds fun!" He said passing her a coffee.

"You can't come, girls night sorry" she said taking a gulp.
He frowned and tried to protest but the door opened and in walked Darcy with a guy Celeste had never seen before.

"Sam!" Steve exclaimed

"Stevie my man! How's it going?" Sam held his arms out to embrace Steve.

"Erm hello! I'm here too!" Darcy swatted them both.

"Sorry Darce, I just haven't seen Sam in a while!"

"This is cute and I hate to break it up but we have some work to sort out before you two pick this bromance back up." She said pushing them towards the chairs Steve had arranged in a neat little circle.

As they waited for everyone else to show up, Sam made his way to a empty seat next to Celeste.

"Well you must be Celeste right?" He sat down and Celeste nodded "I've heard about you from big guy over there. He didn't mention how fine you were though" he flashed a smile at her.

She blushed and before she could politely shut him down Steve butted in "That's because I know what you're like Sam, plus I don't see her that way. Feels weird saying that" he cringed.

"Well I don't see her how you see her so, if you're free anytime soon give me a call and we can go for a drink. You can get my number from Steve" he patted Steve on the shoulder and he rolled his eyes at Sam.

"Thanks but..."

"So it's been a while since I've been back and I know you're all aware I've been looking at the bar over on Duffield too." Darcy started to speak, Celeste turned her attention to her and ignoring Sam's advances.

"I collected the keys to it this morning! So we're going to be shuffling things around a bit here. There's going to be a little restructuring, Steve, I want you to run the bar over on Duffield and take Celeste with you" she announced.

"Celeste you'll be training under Steve to become management once you're ready"
Celestes eyes widened as she looked at Steve, he smiled and nodded at her like a proud brother.
