Archie is a poor young high school teenager who is really skinny and a lackey boy working as a barista in a club one day he met a drunk girl by coincidence and helped her. He lives with his grandparents.
Soon he realised that she is way of his leagu...
He was awake. He was on his bed. As much as he realised he fainted on the couch but somehow he was on his bed bruised and his whole body hurting. The only possibility was that his grandpa picked him and took him there. Even though he did not weigh much. His grandpa was in his 60's and he has bad back. He must had a hard time. He was still lying on bed. He checked his phone. His manager accepted his two day leave. He knew he was injured badly. He heard footsteps. Her grandma came in with a fake smile on her face she asked him if he was okay. He tried to sit but he failed badly. He nodded.
Grandma: "Lie down and relax. I have prepared breakfast to eat some."
He knew she wanted to ask but she was giving him time. In a minute his grandpa came in too he walked in too and sit a little away from him on bed.
It was a small room but it was cleaned. Some comic book posters on the wall. A study table and a bed. A small closet.
Archie: "I was saving a girl but instead I was beaten this badly. I should have known my place."
Grandma: "I am proud of you!" She smiled.
Grandpa: "Leave that place. It was a bad idea to begin with."
Archie: "This bar is the best in the city and I am paid well. I cannot lose it."
Grandpa: "I feel sorry. I cannot provide you much."
Archie: " Do not be like that Grandpa. You raised me and gave me everything I could dream for after parents died.You have been working so hard , both of you.This is my time to give back. I will be eighteen soon high school will be over.I will find a job and treat you two.I want to retire you two."
Grandpa: "Son its our duty. We just want you to enjoy your youth and not work so hard."
Grandma: "Stop it both of you. You are an adult let him take rest. You should be proud of him. Give him some space."
They let him alone and went out.
He was going back to job today. He looked at himself in mirror. He was a tall skinny nerdy guy American by origin. He was clean shaved. He still has some bruised. His hair were trimmed like a 11 year old kid. He was an introvert. He was not good in studies or any sports. Not even any side hobbies. He had no dreams anyway but he wanted to earn enough to provide for his family. He was introvert too. He never had any girlfriend. He was the guy who was there but never a part of story. If live would be a story he would not be entitled to a single word.
He was close with his grandparents. He almost shared everything with them. They were more like his friends.

He wore his uniform and was on his way to the bar it was away from his home so he has to take a bus to get there. When he entered the bar he saw the same girls fighting with the same guy. Soon it went from arguing to fighting. All of the security ran to grab him but he was too strong. Floor was filled with petals . Half of the people left the bar. He was standing there unable to move.
Cam went there undercover with his romantic speech he apologise to her and proposed her but she quickly threw his bouquet and started attacking on his already bruised ego and soon he loose his cool.
Two of men were grabbing him from the back while she was abusing him loudly. Her language was really vulgar and hurting. Her dress was not much different from other day's. Suddenly Cam kicked those men and jumped on her. He was on top of her. He was about to punch her on her face when Archie quickly grabbed a flower pot and hit his head with it. He was again not himself. She was always captivating him. Soon he loose his consciousness and other men grabbed him and took him away.
Lily and Anna were surprisingly looking at him. With embarrassment he walked towards the bar counter.
Lily: "He is the same bartender I told you about. He is still bruised."
Anna: "The perverted one?"
Lily: "Yes."
They were staring at him from behind.He was in the counter. His manager quickly dragged him in the back.
"What are you doing? You know who is she? She is the new owner and the other guy was the old owner. People like us should not get involved with them. The guy you injured he will come and ask for you. I am firing you. My suggestion is you should leave this city." He started walked away.
He did not knew what to do. When he heard her footsteps amazingly he could recognise that. He looked back. Both of those wild cats were standing in front of him. They looked scary like they were on hunt.
Anna: "He is not fired. What kind of manager are you? What did you do when all of this happens? I am making him manager and you can take his job and you ....the bartender your salary is obviously increased now! Do not worry about him I will take care of him. So we are even now!"
Both of them turned away and left. Mitch turned away and looked at him.
Mitch: "I think we should change uniforms now but you are skinny it might be loose!"
Archie: "I am sorry. I do not know what just happened!"
Mitch: "Relax! I know. This is just a game for people like them. Our salaries are not much different anyway. I was so tired with taking care of them. Good luck to you. I will be enjoying now. But you should beware."
They exchanged their clothes and went out. Mitch was teaching him things. They were partying as if nothing just happened. Part of his duties were managing financials,supplies and if they get wasted taking them to their cars and now adding even more security. He was happy he knew that. After that he would do his work and steal peeks at her whenever he could. She was a regular. Only elite people were allowed there but she was peculiar with men. She would not give a second glance to a guy if he had less status than her. It was rare for her to go home with some guy. He would wait whole day to see her in the bar.

Cam was hospitalised. She entered the room. He was flirting with the young nurse. Seeing her he quickly let her go.
Anna: "I thought you would be bored. So I prepared some entertainment for you. Look!"
She pulled her phone out. She showed him multiple videos that were enough to threaten him.
"In case you think. You can take revenge you know if you will leak any of my videos like this what my dad will do to you and what your dad will do to you too. FYI I hate people with bad tastes. Now what I want in exchange of providing this entertainment. I do not want you to be near to any of my bar employees or bar or college or friends or anywhere. Oh I can pay her to fuck you. My treat."
She walked all over him. Once again. She was so done with him that he did not even wanted revenge.
