"So how was your date with Lando?" Jess smirked as we were standing behind the bar together.

It was the last night that Jordan, Jess and I would work together before I had a few days off.

"He took me to a beach, outside of Monaco, he brought champagne, so we talked while drinking champagne." I gave her the facts of what happened.

Didn't tell her that it was actually a fun evening.

"Oh cute, he put effort in it" she smiled. "And did you kiss?"

"No we didn't" I shook my head. "It was not a real date anyways, it was just to keep him away from Sav"

"And how's that's going?" She chuckled, nodding her head to the crowd.

Once again, our favorite fuckboy Lando was here. Lately, he's been here every night.

And so was Sav, desperately trying to get his attention.

"I am not trying to be rude" Jess said as she looked at the crowd. "But Sav is acting a little embarrassing"

I looked at the crowd as well, Sav was dancing all over Lando. Her arms around his neck and then she turned around, pressing her ass against his crotch, while bending down a little.

Lando looked up, right in my eyes. He put his hands up, showing me he wasn't touching her.
I chuckled, shook my head.

I couldn't blame him anymore for this, if Sav wanted to act like this then fine.

"I know" I sighed.

Jordan and I finished our shifts around 1 am. Chase replaced us for the rest of the night.

Jordan and I fixed a drink for ourselves and made our way to the dancefloor.
We finally had two days off, which for him was something he definitely needed.

We danced a little, just like we always did when we finished our shift early.
He was my best friend, I was comfortable around him.

I always thought he liked Sav a little, but that definitely changed since she's been all over Lando.
A lot of people thought she was acting too desperate.

Including Jordan.

I tried to be a little matchmaker once, tried to set them up, but Sav didn't want to go on a date with him.

Thought he wasn't serious, thought he was a fuckboy and flirted with every girl in the club.

He didn't.

He wasn't the typical bartender that would flirt with you when you tried to order something.
But girls definitely flirted with him, a lot.

Pretty soon, Lando came up to us, hugged Jordan as if they were best friends.
They weren't, right?

"Can I steal her away?" I heard him ask Jordan, who looked at me, to see if I was fine with that. I nodded so Jordan backed away.

"Hi Frankie" he kissed my cheek, leaned closer. "Can we go outside for a bit?"

"Sure" I said.

It was way too loud here anyways.

We walked outside and I could feel eyes burning in my back, pretty sure it was Sav.

"I just wanted to make clear that I didn't touch or kiss her" he said as we walked away from the club.

I chuckled. "Yeah I saw, very good"

"How was your night?"

"It wasn't that busy, so it was okay" I answered. "I have a few days off now, so I will be sleeping a lot"

"I bet, I would do the same" he looked at me with a smile.

He would be sleeping with someone, big difference.

"I am going to Croatia for a week" he announced as we walked on the docks. "Oh that's cool, I hope you'll have fun"

"Yeah I will" he said, put his hands in the pockets of his pants. "I was wondering, can I have your number?"

"You're not asking for my snapchat?"

Not that I would be able to give him my Snapchat because I deleted that shit years ago.

He chuckled. "No, I'm asking for your number"

He looked pretty genuine, even though I still thought he was the biggest walking red flag.

I still gave him my number, I could always block him if he annoyed me, but I was pretty sure that he wouldn't text me a lot, if he did in the first place.

"So.." he cleared his throat. "I guess I will see you next week?"

"Yes sure, I will see you in the club I guess"

We looked at each other maybe a little too long. I had no reason to look at him like that, at his lips.

He had no reason to lean closer to me.

And then we kissed. His lips pressed against mine. His hand on my cheek.

We kissed, not because of a bet, not because I wanted to keep him away from Sav.

It was better than our first kiss. Sav was right, he was a good kisser.

And maybe I had to admit that I was gonna miss this fuckboy.

He was so gonna break my heart.
