ME

**********************************************

i set my elbows on the table, clenching my hands together, which squeezed the exposed part of my chest together. I spread my legs apart under the table.

"Hi there,"I said in a seductive tone.

He responded, but the moment he spoke, my position relaxed. I crossed my legs and moved my hands to my side. We talked for a while. I found out his name is Kurt. And he is studying to be a designer.

"Wanna go for coffee?" He randomly asked.

I looked at my watch, it was only 3:30 most people don't start coming in until 10:00. I nodded, and stood up to tell my boss. I walked over to the bar where Melissa was helping a few girls who reeked of puke. They were drinking shot after shot of vodka. I wondered how people can drink so much alcohol I mean I can hold my alcohol, but some people surprise me.

"Hey Mel? have you seen Erik? I'm gunna take my break now and I just wanted to tell him before I go." I asked her sweetly. I like Mel she's really a nice person.

"Umm, I think Erik is in a back room, but I would definitely knock before you go in, just incase." She warned as giggles escaped from her mouth.

I giggled too as I headed to the back. I approached the door, and I hesitantly raise my fist to knock on the door. I lightly hit the door, and it immediately opened. My boss (Erik) stood there. He has short brown hair and hazel eyes. He let out a puff of smoke from his cigar. I smiled seductively at him, while leaning on the door frame...

"Hey, Babe. I was gunna take my break now if thats okay with you," I told him as i bit my bottom lip.

"Okay, Babe. But only for you. Just be back in an hour K?" He told me.

I thanked him and pulled him into a tight hug. As i began to walk away, I could hear his poker buddies talking about me before Erik quickly told them to Fuck off. I grabbed my sweatshirt and met Kurt out by his car. We drove to the nearest starbucks. We ordered our drinks from a hot guy. He had perfectly straight, white teeth, and bright blue eyes that sparkled in the light.

"I'll have a carmel macchiato please," I told the guy at the counter, as I nervously glanced around the room, avoiding his beautiful eyes. I gave him my name, and waited for my drink.

Once I got my drink I thanked him, as I tooka look at his name tag: Dustin. Kurt and I left Starbucks and started walking around. I looked on the cup to see a phone number scrawled with sharpie. I stopped dead in my tracks.

"No way! Kurt, he gave me his number! Oh my gosh!" I told the astonished looking Kurt.

"Ughh, I wanted him! Your so lucky." I laughed at this remark.

It will be nice to have a gay friend around. After I entered the number in my phone, I handed my phone to Kurt and he put his in. we walked around for a while,rating all the boys we saw on a scale of 1-10. I had a lot of fun with Kurt. He was so funny, I should introduce him to Kameron Kavya and Emma. My smile dropped as The nightclub came into view. More cars were parked and the music had gotten louder. I hugged Kurt, and thanked him for the wonderful afternoon. With that, Kurt climbed in his car and drove off. I plodded back to the bar, an took a seat beside Mel. She was having a conversation with some girls, they were talking about some new band or something, but I wasn't really paying attention. The day was slow and boring, but finally at 9:15, the fun started. More and more cars pulled in to the now packed parking lot. The DJ blasted the music as everyone danced in a small circle. A group of boys sitting at a small round table wove me over. I grabbed my pen and paper and made my way through the crowd. It was a lot harder than you think, considering I have on five inch stilettos. Finally I made it to their table,

"Hi, my name is Anna. Can I get you boys anything to drink?"I asked sweetly.

A boy with straight brown hair responded, "Yah, can we get vodka shots all around? And my name is Jake"

"Nice to meet you Jake, and I'll be right back with your order" I responded.

I set my pad on the table, and bent over it as I wrote down their order. This ensured the group of boys a good look at my cleavage. I'm going to play these boys. I walked over to the bar and had Mel help me pour all of the shots and set them on a tray. I walked over to the group of boys and set the tray in front of them.

I asked, "Can I get you anything else?"

The boy with brown hair responded, "How 'bout your number, love?"

For a fraction of a second my mind flicked back to who used to call me that, Har... Never mind. I smiled and scrawled my number on a napkin. The boys gave me a large tip, and I smiled deviously ( I had given the boys a fake number) as I walked away from their table, never looking back. I walked behind the bar, and allowed Mel to go around the tables for a while. I had my back facing the dance floor while I was making a drink when I heard a familiar voice.

"Can I get one imperial single malt scotch whiskey?"

"Sure thing!" I call over my shoulder as I grab the bottle off of the glass shelf. After pouring the drink into a cup and placing the bottle back in its place, I turned around to be met by bright blue eyes. He flashed his perfectly white teeth at my, causing his dimples to show. He was absolutely adorable.

"Hey! It's you, I don't think I ever caught your name..." I told the man. It was the guy I saw at Starbucks. We talked for a while longer. I found out his name is Dustin. And he is 25 years old.

Dustin grabbed me by the hand, and led me out to the dance floor. "You, are going to dance with me," He said, a smile tugging at the corners of his lips, causing his dimples to make small indents.

"Okay, fine. But only for a little."

"Why?" He asked me, I was stuck in a trance, staring into his eyes. Damn they are sparkly.

Anyways, I responded, "Because my boyfriend wont like this very much," I saw his smile fade and his dimples disappeared. I grabbed either side of his face with my hands, "I'm only joking, Dustin! Erik could fire me because I'm supposed to be working, not dancing,"

The smile crept it's way back onto Dustin's face. After the song ended, I walked back to the bar, and Dustin headed home. I looked at my phone, it was 3:14 and the number of people were dying down. I asked Erik if Mel and I could leave early since we came earlier in the day. He gave us permission so we headed outside.

"Do you need a ride?" Mel asked me as I started walking away.

After a minute of deciding, I agreed and jumped in the silver car. She turned the music on low volume, and we both hummed to the beat. A song came in that I had never heard before. It was really good. The voices sounded kind of familiar at first, but then The song changed speed, and I lost the thought. Mel pulled up to my apartment before the song ended, but I hopped out, and headed up to the apartment. When I got there, there was silence all throughout the place. I crept silently and quickly through each dark room until I finally reached my bedroom. I closed the door carefully, as to not make any noise. I got ready for bed and slid under the cool covers. I was so happy to have a day off tomorrow. The second my head hit the pillow, my eyes closed and didn't open until the moment my alarm rung the next morning.
