Deceived by love

Chapter 2

Morning grogginess, where your brain doesn't instantly wake up after sleeping. I am feeling sluggish and disoriented. The transition from sleeping to waking up is very gradual and it seems to be even worse this morning than what it normally is. I looked at my phone that read 8:35am, I internally screamed because morning came a lot faster than I was hoping.

I pushed my bed sheets back and slowly slipped out of bed. My morning vertigo took over my body and I tried to catch my balance. After being fully upright I looked in my body mirror and saw I still had my makeup on from last night. 'great, here comes another breakout.'

My hair was everywhere and looked three inches shorter due to all the rats and snarls in my hair. I thought about how much time it would take to wash off my face and try to brush my hair dry. Not liking that idea I thought it would be better to just shower.

Grabbing my shower caddy I walked over to the bathroom hoping Bailey wasn't in there. Seeing that the door was shut I lightly knocked on it and when there was no answer I slowly went in. I jumped at the sight I saw. Bailey was asleep on her bed pillow in front of the toilet.

She must've drank a lot more than I did last night. "Bailey" I said kicking her, "Bailey" I repeated. With a groan she replied "Grace, why are you waking me up?" I laughed and said "You're on the bathroom floor, I need to shower." Her eyes opened widely and she shot up "Oh shit, I forgot I fell asleep in here last night." Noticing she sat up way too fast she placed her hand on her forehead "Damn it, why did I do that." She slowly got up and grabbed her pillow and headed out of the bathroom without another word.

I laughed and shook my head, shutting the door behind her. I placed my shower caddy on the side of the bathtub and felt the water for the right temperature. Feeling content I finally stepped in and began my shower.

After twenty minutes of cleaning my hair and body and just trying to wake up under the heat of the water I decided it would be best if I got out and got my day started. After I got out I wrapped my towel around my body, grabbed my shower caddy, and headed back to my room.

On my way back to my room I peaked in on Bailey to see how she was doing "are you feeling better?" I asked. She put her mascara back in her drawer, looked at me and said "No, but I look better so I am okay for work, but we are skipping groceries for now."I sarcastically sighed and said "bar food won't hurt us for one more night."

Now back in my room I pulled out my work clothing which wasn't too special just consisted of stuff that I didn't care if beer got spilt on it. After getting dressed I put on mascara and brushed through my wet hair deciding I was going to let it air dry so I could lay in bed for a little longer.

Cuddling back up into bed I turned on Netflix and watched Grey's Anatomy. After the episode finished I looked at my phone that said 11 o'clock and decided to go get my shoes on before we left for our 12-8 shift. The only thing I was grateful for was the fact that it was Sunday and we close at eight tonight.

"Bailey! Are you ready to go? We should probably leave soon so we can eat before our shift." I screamed as I was struggling to put my shoes on. "Yes! I will be out in a minute just putting my shirt on!" Almost exactly a minute later Bailey came out of her room and I opened the door for her and locked it behind us once we were both in the hallway.

"Bailey, Grace! Welcome in, there is puke all over the bathroom. Have fun cleaning that up." Ryan said to us right when we walked in the door. handing us both gloves and disinfectant spray. Great I thought, what a lovely start to my day.

"This is disgusting! Why do we work here again?" I asked bailey as I was scrubbing someones dry vomit off the floor. "I don't know, but the better question is, why didn't this person think to clean up after themselves?" Bailey sounded frustrated and I don't blame her this was absolutely stomach turning.

After we finished cleaning up the day old dried puke we finally headed up to the bar to do our actual job "Hey sweeties, thanks for finally coming to take our orders." I crinkled my nose at the old mans snarky remark to us.

I kept my mouth shut not to say anything back and just said "What would you like to order today sir?" this is going to be a long day, if this is just the start of it.

After a couple of hours I was burnt out of working and just wanted to go home, but I still had two hours left. Being bored because the afternoon crowd left I decided to check my phone

*one Instagram notification* my phone screen read, thinking it was just an Instagram live I unlocked my phone to clear it. But when I unlocked it it said *DM From Rhett Coleman*

I felt the color wash out of my face and I froze not knowing what to do. "Bailey!" I screamed "Bailey come here!" Bailey came running from the other side of the store with a worried look on her face "oh my goodness, is everything okay?" She sounded so concerned and I just stood there.

Looking down at my phone then back up at her I flashed my phone screen at her and she read the notification. She screamed, placing her hand over her mouth immediately "what does it say!" She nearly turned every customers head towards us by how loud she asked.

"I-I don't know. I'm afraid to open it." My voice was obviously shakey due to the state of shock I am in. "If you don't open it, I will" she responded sounding more serious. "Fine, fine. I'll open it." "Make sure you read it out loud too!" I looked at her because she sounded so amused and I giggled to myself and started reading it.

"Thank you for supporting my band the past year, your support means more than you know. I'll definitely stop by and grab a drink from you sometime! What bar do you work at again?"
-Rhett

"Oh my! What are you going to say?" She asked me and I was still in shock that he even responded and my mind went completely blank. I can't leave a famous guy on read, I thought to myself.

"I don't know, let me think." I started pacing around the bar leaving Bailey completely in awe that I got a message from someone famous.

"Thank you so much for responding! I will continue to always support you guys!<3 also I work at 'dad's place' downtown L.A! Send me a message before you come so I can let you know if I'm at work or not!"

I walked back over to Bailey once I was done typing it out and before I sent it and showed it to her, "how does this sound?" I asked her

"Perfect." She reached over and hit send on my screen. I quickly logged out so I wouldn't know if he responded right away or not. I like the element of surprise more than I like the waiting game, especially if there was a high chance he wasn't going to respond.

Deciding I had enough excitement for one night I shut my phone completely off just thinking, 'why me?'
