Zayn

Two Months Later

I'm sitting in my office at work scrolling on my phone. I'm a little bored right now. I sigh as I run a hand down my face. I stand up and place my phone in my back pocket. I exit my office and head out to see what's going on in the club. I make my way towards the bar and I see Yasmin working hard as usual. She really is so great at this job. Plenty of people compliment her; that includes customers and co-workers. Shit has been so weird between us since our date. We have barely talked. She mostly just looks away when I try to make eye contact. Texts and calls go mostly unanswered. I don't like it at all. It's awkward and uncomfortable. I notice Yasmin take two shots with Jones. Fuck man.

"Bro you just going to watch that shit?," Jaylen said while resting his hand on my shoulder. I turn to look at him and smack my lips.

"She won't even talk to me," I said.

"That doesn't mean you stop trying. I know how much you like her."

"I can't force her to do shit."

"I know but damn man I know you don't want to see someone like Jones get a chance with her." I shake my head as I suck my teeth. Jaylen is right.

"Zayn?," a familiar voice called out to me. I turn around and I smile a bit when I see a newer dancer named Shauna.

"Hey Shauna you good?," I asked.

"Yeah I'm about to head out just wanted to give you your cut for the night," Shauna said while handing a stack of bills out to me. I collect it and I count it quickly.

"Damn you did great tonight huh? You're becoming quite popular," I said.

"I'm trying. I can't thank you enough for the opportunity I really needed this."

"You're welcome it's great to have you here. You good to get to your car?"

"Yeah I'm good I got a spot out back."

"Ok have a good night."

"You too." She smiles and then walks off. I watch as she walks away and I eye her up and down. She is definitely fine. But who am I kidding. I can't do shit unless it's with Yasmin. I look her way and I see her looking at me. I raise my eyebrow since she doesn't look away this time. She bites her bottom lip before looking down. Maybe I can get her to talk to me tonight?

"You feeling Shauna now?," Jaylen asked.

"She's cute but nah. I won't be stupid and try to get over Yasmin by getting with someone else that shit wouldn't be fair," I said.

"Good I am glad you realize that."

"I'm going to do a quick walk around."

"Ok let me know if you need anything bro." We share a dap and I begin a walk through of the club. I check on the dancers, shot girls, bartenders, security, to make sure everyone is all good. I try to do this every couple of hours. I collected a bit of money from the girls leaving the club for the night, before I head back to my office. I place the money in the safe and I let out a deep breath. About 15 minutes later, I hear a knock on the door.

"Come in," I called out. The door opens and I am in a bit of shock when I see Yasmin. She closes and locks the door behind her before looking at me.

"Jones keeps buying me shots I had to get away for a bit," Yasmin said.

"...You can sit if you want," I said. She just looks at me and walks over to me. She plops right into my lap and sighs as she rests her head on my shoulder. She barely has talked to me now she wants to sit in my lap?
