The Enemy

Chapter Five

~Samora~

"Can I get a rum and coke with a skinny martini." A pretty red head with a tiny scar below her eye shouted her order at me. I'm sure this is the third time she's asked me but with her voice being so small I was having a hard time hearing her. I gave her a small smile and got to work making her drinks. I've been here for 8 months and I absolutely suck at making drinks. I'm not skilled at this bartender shit and they did not train me. I'm pretty sure the only reason I got this job is because Mario has a thing for burnettes. Not that he has a chance in hell with me I like to flirt with him it gives me ample chances to brush up on my skills. Skills I may have to use on Alex whenever I find him. Even though he's a simple man he is a hard man to locate. I guess he's learning how to make himself invisible so he can join the mob when and if they ever respond to him.

Like I said I have no idea how all of that works

"I'm sorry love it's really hard to hear in here". I smiled at her and passed her drinks to her. "Its okay gorgeous I know my voice is that of a five year old" she winked at me and licked her lips. I'm no stranger to flirting with girls I've had to do it once or twice even though it's not really my thing I don't judge. To each his or her own. I just smiled at her and proceeded to take the next person's order.

"Hey sexy I need a favor" Mario said from behind me. He doesn't remember my name I came up with that conclusion the second time I ran into him and he called me Carter. He's opted for giving me nicknames every time he sees me. It doesn't bother me in the slightest I'm used to it now at first it annoyed me but after getting to know him a little bit I've learned it's just who he is. Mario isn't my boss, even though he's the one who hired me. He's more like a superior. I've never actually met the boss he's never here not that I really care. I'm never here either I'm on call meaning I'm only here when some one calls out. I don't care honestly this is kind of like a side hustle to fill my long and lonely night. HA!

I crack myself up sometimes.

"Sure sweet cakes" he's not the only one who can come up with annoying pet names. It's really my favorite because he hates that one.
"Boss man is coming tonight I need a bottle of Macallen Lalique" when he said it his Italian accent seeped through. In all honesty I figured he was Italian I just didn't know for a fact until now. Everybody here knows the boss of course. I feel like I may be the only one who doesn't and I feel a little left out. Maybe tonight I'll get the chance to meet the man.

"Will I get to meet him? You know since I'm being chosen as servent girl for the night" he smiled at me and nodded his head. Mario is actually kind of handsome. He's about 6 foot maybe taller, broad shoulder with deep blue eyes they kind of remind me of the ocean. He usually wears his blond hair in a man bun but he has it braided today I have to say the look suits him well. He's a laid back kind of guy always wear sweats and plain tees but tonight he's sporting an Italian suit I guess he had to get dapper for the boss tonight. Mario has a deep scar on his left cheek looks like it could be from a pocket knife. Working in a bar in New York can be pretty dangerous at times, I've seen that first hand. "I'll let you know when you can bring it to the office. Don't forget to grab an ice bucket and four whiskey glasses." With that he walked away. He usually lingers for about 20 minutes playfully barking orders and picking on the new girl Amy. I can tell she likes him she always blushes when he looks at her.

~•~

I spent the next two hours filling different orders and trying my hardest to help Amy. I'm no Carter so my help really isn't as helpful as she needs. She's worst than I was when I first started. She's a timid girl and from what I know about people I can conclude she doesn't have an easy life. She jumps at sudden noises and she flinches when people attempt to touch her. It's actually kind of sad to watch.
