He shook his head after and I took the glasses to the sink. I pulled my wallet out of my back pocket and put a twenty dollar bill in the register. Three shots and a beer is 10 dollars so I pulled a ten out and put it back in my wallet.
I turned back around to see four guys walking up, it was the rest of the band. They all sat down to the right off Eddie, "5 Heinekens." the guy with really long hair and big eyes. He was one of the guitarists. I nodded and walked over to the cooler. Only 4 beers were left. I grabbed the four and sat them down in front of the guy.
"I have to run to the back and get another box." I said with a smile and turned around to walk to the walk-in cooler. I grabbed a box of Heinekens and a bottle of grenadine. I came back out and all the guys were talking about music and a seemingly very drunk middle aged man sat a seat away from Eddie, looking very angry.
"Finally! I want a goddamn Rum and Coke!" He yelled at me. I put the beer down and started to put some in the cooler, "Give me one minute sir!" I said putting a few in there. I felt a glass bottle shatter against my back making me fall onto my knees. It happens all the time but that doesn't mean it still doesn't hurt. I heard rustling and I got up and turned around.
Eddie stood over the guy who was now on the ground, he looked unconscious. Apparently Don heard the ruckus and came out here, "What the hell is going on!" He yelled looking at me too Eddie. "This son of bitch threw a beer bottle at her!" Eddie yelled. He looked pissed, after Eddie said that the guys nodded.
Don looked at me with questioning yet caring eyes. I nodded and started to brush the glass that was stuck to my shirt off. "Darius! Get this mother fucker out of here! No one hurts my bartenders, especially Ramona!" Don yelled as Darius came running. Dairus was Don's son. "And you!" he yelled at Eddie. Eddie almost looked scared before Don smiled, "Good job bud." he said walking back to his office as Darius carried the guy away.
I sighed and looked up at the clock. 12:50. "TENS MINUTES TILL LAST CALL!" I yelled out to the few people still here. We stayed open till 2:00 but stopped serving at 1:00. I walked back over to the band, "Thanks." I said to Eddie. He smiled, "So what's your guys band called. I didn't get to hear at the start of your performance. I was helping an old man get into a cab." I said grabbing the other beer I was supposed to get.
"Pearl Jam!" The one in the funny hat said. "That's a bitchin 'name! Also I like your hat!" I said to him, He smiled and held out his hand, "I'm Jeff." He said with a big smile. "This is Stone, Dave and Mike. Apparently you already know Eddie." He said with a smile and pointed out each one. "Well nice to meet you guys. I'm Ramona." I nodded at the other three with a smile. They all smiled at me, "Hi.".
Dave looked at me from head to toe. As he looked back up my body his eyes stopped on my tattooed arm. By his smile and look I knew he was going to be a flirt. But I was not interested in him. I wanted to get to know all of them. Especially Eddie.
We talked for a little while before I had to break away from our conversation. "LAST CALL! ONE MINUTE LEFT!" I yelled. A few people came up and asked for a drink while I talked to the guys. "So what are you guys doing after this?" I asked as I gave the last person their drink.
"Probably just going home. What about you?" Stone said as the rest nodded with him. I forgot it was like 1 at night and there wasn't much to do. Pretty dumb question on my part. "Well I still have to do an alcohol count and finish cleaning up but after that probably gonna go to the truck stop for dinner." I said ducking under the bar to grab the alcohol count sheet.
"Can we come with you? I'm starving." Jeff said as Eddie nodded with him. "Of course but it'll probably be at least another 30 minutes before I can leave." I said, grabbing the money out of the cash register. "I'm gonna go home. I tired as fuck." Mike said getting up. "I'm coming with you." Stone said getting up. Dave nodded with Stone and got up. He eyes me one last time before walking out. He definitely liked looking. "So just us three." I said counting the money.
They nodded and finished their beers. I counted the money and alcohol and brought the sheet and money to Don. "There's 748 dollars here and it adds up to the alcohol count I did." I said putting it on his desk. "Thanks Ramona. You and Mel are my best bartenders... I have some news." he said, looking at me seriously.
I sat down and looked at him. "I had to fire Hayden. He was skimming money from the bar. Until I find a new hire you and Mel will have to pick up more shifts. I have already called her and told her. But just like I told her I will be giving you guys a 75 cent raise." Don said. I felt my face grow, "Really? I mean that horrible about Hayden but you're really giving me a raise?' I asked. Hayden had always been kinda a douchebag to me so I didn't really care.
"Yes. You and Mel bring in all kinds of customers and take care of the customers. You guys deserve it." He said standing up and giving me a hug. We hugged and both walked out, me walking to the bar and Don walking to the customers. "Ok I'm gonna do a wipe down really quick and clean the dishes and we can go." I said grabbing a towel and cleaner. "I can do the dishes so we can get out of here quicker." Eddie said.
Don was walking up behind them. "Don, can he come behind the bar and do the dishes? We're trying to get out of here to eat." I said. "Just go! I'll clean up, but tomorrow Hayden had a shift 5-2 and I need someone to cover it. Will you?" Don asked. "Yeah I got it." I said pulling the rag out of my back pocket and putting it in the basket under the bar. "I have you go clock out and I'll be back." I said to the other two.
I ran to the back and clocked out, grabbing my skateboard that was by the cooler. "Let's roll." I said walking to the other two. "You skate?" Eddie asked with a smile. "Hell yeah!" I said as they got up. "That's awesome! We should skate together!" Jeff said. "That'd be bitchin!" I said as we walked to the door.
