Allie

Fifteen

Allie:

Last place we went to was this bar, but as I was on my feet all day and no where had toilets or we rushed out of the place because we asked and they told us they're all taken and it got too awkward. We finally got one place that's left. Otherwise we have to make a long drive to the next town to get a job.

But right now, I finished up using the toilet and washed my hands and thrown some water onto my face. I let out a long sigh. This is going to take me forever to get a job.

Next thing I know, the door slams open and a woman with the Cowboy Rock And Roll Bar top walks in. "Fucking men." She groans as she grabs out her phone and started to text before looking up at me.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to sound like that in front of a customer." I laughed and shook my head. "It's fine." She nods before smiling looking up at me. "You seem good. What's your name? Are you with anyone here today?" She asks me and I nodded. "My name is Allie, and I'm with Ryke." I tell her.

"Ryke Kingston?" I nodded and she smiled. "He's lovely. The only family that are nice here, except for his fathers ex.." I laughed. I could drink to that. Because I haven't met anyone else's family that act like the way this family does.

"What's yours?" I asked her and she smiled. "It's Evie. Oh Jesus your not going the manger and telling what I said are you?" I laughed and shook my head. "Of course not."

"But I'm going to wonder any jobs available here?" She thought for a minute and then looked me up and down to see that I had jeans and a plain black top. "I'll need to speak to my manger. I'll be back." She gave me a wink.

"Hope you get it girl. You'll be fine. Wait here." She gave me a wave and left the bathroom. She seems nice. Really nice. I looked into the mirror to see a big smile on my face. Hopefully this works out. I don't want to leave my job. But Quinton knows I work there and I don't want to go there and him finding me. And my family.

I sit down on the sink, thankful it wasn't soaking wet as I waited. Ryke is probably wondering what I'm doing.  "Allie?" Talking about Ryke. I heard his voice on the opposite side of the door. Concern rings through it.

"I'm alright Ryke. I'll be out in five minutes." He leaves me alone and then the door was opened to see the woman. "You've got the job Hun. You just need to come to the manger and sign a few things for information and then you'll have the job." I run over to her and hugged her for dear life. She tried to push me off but I don't budge. She laughs before patting my back. "Thank you Evie."

"I'll accept your thank you if you don't hug." I laughed as she does, before we headed to the manger office. We walked past Ryke's table and he stares up confused on what I was doing. Then went straight to the manger office.

He stands up and walked towards me. "I'll be back in a minute Ryke." He nods before following me. He walks into the office and leans against the door when I looked at Evie. And she nodded walking back into the bar.

"Tucker!" Evie shouted out the door and he walks in. He walks in and nods towards Ryke and then looks at me. "Are you the knew person who wants a job." I stood up and held out my hand to shake his. "Yes, my name is Allie." He shook it.

"Nice to meet you Allie. I'll happily give you the job. I just need you to write a few things on here and then you'll be able to start next week Monday." He shrugs and I nodded happy. He passes me the clipboard with some questions.

Name- Allie
Age- 25
Date of birth- 01/05/1997.

There was only three questions and I passed the paper back over to Tucker. "Is that the real name you want to be called?" I nodded. I don't want another name to be called. I want my actual name so... I would get confused.

"Just Allie." He nodded before standing up and I followed and he held out his hand. "Welcome to the job, you can start next week Monday." I nodded. "Thank you." He gave me a nod before we started to head back to the bar.

"A new worker!" Evie yells as we walked inside and she grabbed my hand and raised it. I laughed and everyone cheered around me. I looked up at Ryke and he looks down at me. With a true smile. I haven't seen one on his face. Ever. I gave him one back.

Everyone cheered and clinked cups, I jumped around happy and smiling and then the music started. "Come on girl. Let's see the moves." Evie tells me and I laughed as my grandmother taught me every movement for these songs. Me and Evie started dancing and everyone was cheering us on.

"With this place, workers never dance on dance floors, so come on." I stare at her before she walked over to the bar. She whistled and everyone starts the cheering again. Ryke stands there confused and then she jumped on top of the bar.  "Don't worry, you don't strip. It's line dancing and that's all." I followed and then the music starts back up.

"Now, everyone get their legs moving and join!" She shouts with a whistle and we both started to dance. My heels of my boots tap on top of the bar as my hands link with my jeans. Click click click. Evie watch everyone dance to the music. But my eyes only find one person at the bar.

Ryke.
