A/N- So I’m going to be going away on a little vacation on Friday and I won’t be back until Monday or Tuesday so if I find internet somewhere I will for sure be updating! But If I can’t find any internet spots I’m sorry :( I’ll try and get chapter 4 up tomorrow before I leave for you guys :) anyways enjoy xo! Please vote/comment I love it when you do :)

I actually got home a lot later then I thought I would last night. Guess I didn’t pay as much attention as I thought. I had texted Katy when I got home that I had left and not to worry about me. The fact that I have to explain that Danny came on to me just makes me feel like an idiot. Especially for giving into charming ways, even if it was for a second. She did warn me. When I got home Aunt Jody was upstairs sleeping, thank god. I don’t think I could have handled all the questions she would have asked me. “Why did you walk?” “Where’s Katy?” “What happened?” My phone went off beside me and I instantly woke up. I looked over to see I had a text from Katy. I reached over and opened it. “Ok. Time to spill. Meet me at the beach in 10.“ “Ugh.” I rolled out of bed, jumped into a floral romper, put my hair in a bun, put on a little mascara and pulled my sunglasses over my eyes. I always left the house with a full face of makeup but I figured I would be back in time to get ready for work. I was trying not to think about how in a couple hours I would be working the same shift with only Lindsey and Danny. I gave myself a quick look over in the mirror, headed downstairs and walked down to the beach.

“He what?!” Katy cried. “Shh!” I put my hand over her mouth to prevent her from saying another word. “Ok. Fine. I won’t say a word about it.” “Thank you!” I added. That last thing I needed was everyone thinking that I was just like all the other girls Danny had just hooked up with then left. I kept having to remind myself that Katy was one of those girls. She seemed nothing like Lindsey and the other girls at The Crab.

We decided to hang out at the beach for a while. There was a Starbucks right across the beach that we went to and she showed me a part of the beach were the water was so crystal clear and blue that you could see the fish swimming around your feet. I looked at my phone, 4:20. I sighed. “I should probably go and get ready for work.” Katy laughed. “Good luck.” I couldn’t help but laugh. I needed a hell of a lot more then luck.

I walked into The Crab to see the whole room filled with happy customers. Lindsey was standing at the “Please wait to be served” podium and gave me a sour stare as I walked in. I was expecting maybe a “Hello Kendall” or maybe a “How are you?” or something human like. Instead I got “You need to stay late tonight to work for Danny’s party.” What party? “Uhh, why?” I asked. Why was Lindsey asking me, well telling me and not Danny? Wasn’t it his party? “Well I’m invited and your clearly not so-“ She was cut off by Danny. “Actually you don’t have to. I was wondering if you could help because it’s going to be super busy.” He gave Lindsey a dirty look and me a “I’m so sorry” glare. “Sure. No problem Danny.” I would rather eat my own vomit then work as a bus girl at Danny’s big party, nor give Lindsey the satisfaction of seeing me work for her. I needed the extra money, that’s the only reason I took it I kept trying to tell myself but the real reason was right in front of me, Danny.

From one end of the room I heard “Waitress I need a beer!” another end I heard “Rye and Coke!” I couldn’t keep up. The entire room was packed.  There was garbage all over the floors, drinks spilled everywhere. I had served Lindsey more alcoholic beverages then I could count and she was clinging on the some guy I was sure she didn’t know. Attractive I thought to myself. I rolled my eyes and went to pick up a beer can off of the floor when I was knocked over and fell flat on my face. Ouch. “Are you okay?” When I looked up I saw Danny with his arm extended forward for me to grab. When he pulled me to his feet I was lost in his eyes, I had totally forgot everything that was going on around me. Snap out of it Kendall. You can’t like him. I could feel him leaning in closer and closer towards me and soon his soft lips were again pressed to his. I pushed him away. “Obviously I wasn’t clear enough last night.” He looked hurt, but I didn’t care. I’m sure that’s what he did to every girl because as soon as he did it I just wanted to run back into his arms. “Waitress!” I rolled my eyes and walked over to the guy who needed yet another beer. This is not what I signed up for.

At the end of the night I heard Danny call me from behind as I was heading out the door. “Listen, I know this probably isn’t what you wanted to do with your night but I was wondering if you would help stay and clean up. There’s no way I can clean this by myself.” Just as I was about to say no, I looked around. There was no way he could clean this on his own and if my boss saw this mess and knew about this party I would be toast. The last thing I wanted was to spend my night cleaning up Danny’s mess but I couldn’t throw away my job and my aunt’s job because of my feelings for Danny. “Fine.”
