"One cocktail please, cutie."

I stopped wiping the counter and looked up. There stood my co-worker, Matt. I scoffed at him and continued wiping the counter.

"Don't ignore me!" He flicked my forehead playfully.

"Come on now, the club is going to open soon, now  please focus and help me clean the place up."

"Fine, I'll go clean the tables." He mumbled, and headed towards the storage closet. I couldn't help myself, and let out a teasing giggle as he came out with a broom and some stuff for the tables and chairs.

"Oh, be quiet." Matt growled, somehow with a small tint of playfulness.

I rolled my eyes at him, after I finished making sure the counter top was spotless, I began cleaning the glasses and organized the beverages.

Matt also joined in to help me after he cleaned the tables and booths.

"Heya boys!" One of our female sttrippers came out to greet us.

"Nothing much Quinn, what about you?" Matt replied with a large smile.

"Just came to greet you guys before we open!" She returned the smile.

"Wow! You really make this place spotless!" She said in awe.

"Yeah, thanks to Jaren." Matt credited me.

I scoffed. "Yeah, whatever."

"Welp, catch you guys later." She took off back towards the back stage.

I inspected Matt and let out a dramatic sigh.

"What?" He said dumbfounded as I walked over to him and adjusted his black vest and white collared shirt under it.

"You never fix your uniform and it gets on my nerves."

"Why so little Jaren can get his way with the hot, attractive perverts that come here." Matt mocked me in his baby voice.

Once again I ignored him. I soon turned my attention towards the owner of the club, Grizzy. Well that's what he wants us to call him.

"Hey, y'all ready to open?"

"Of course Grizzy! Why wouldn't we?" Matt gasped dramatically.

"Between the two of you, Jaren usually does all the work."

"I mean you're not wrong.." Matt's voice trailed off.

"At Least you have a worker!" Matt's expression turned happy again.

I rolled my eyes at him, "Come on Matt, settle down. You always scare the people away with your excitement."

"I don't understand how he is always so hyper at night." Grizz yawned as he turned his keys in the lock and switched on the neon open sign.

"It's only 10PM?" Matt watched as Grizz tiredly walked back to his office.

"Bet you he's going to sleep instead of doing bills and shit." I let out a small laugh, with Matt.

"Well, before people start coming, Ima go to the restroom." I  excused myself.

"Alrighty, be quick before I go coo-coo." Matt responded.

I walked into the bathroom and soon was greeted with the scent of smoke. I growled and rumbled in my chest.

"Puffer.." My  voice trailed off.

"Heya Smit." He walked over to the sink and leaned onto it.

I scoffed at him, "You know there is an outside area for a reason, right?"
