Stuck with you

Stuck with you chapter 22

A Saturday in October

Teddi's pov

Ecstasy is packed tonight and we are short on bartenders.Two called in sick so I will be here til like 6 a.m. I even had to call in my dad who let me say isn't a joy working with.

" Hey babe can I get a shot of your fine ass." A man at the end of the table slurs.

Was that supposed to be a pickup line? I ignore the comment ,drunk people can be so irrational. I slide a shot down the bar while I grab some beers for another customer . I look back over to the man that ordered the shot. He saw me looking and he winks at me.The man takes the shot and moves up closer to me. He gives me a twenty.

" Keep the change. So how about after your shift you come dance with me?"

" I can't dance and I'm working late tonight."

" Well than how about you give me your number?"

" I don't have a phone ." Geez can't this dude get a hint.

" Come on girl don't be like that."

" You see big Joe over there?" I say pointing to body guard standing by the door." We have been dating for a year."

Big joe...well he is big,buff, and black. When I first met him he told me to call him tripple B and thats why. I'm not strong and I would prefer not to mention that I'm gay because that might attract him even more. I blow him a kiss and he winks at me. Joe made up the kiss in wink thing for instances like this. Joe makes his way over to me and the guy hitting on me leaves.

" You good Teddi?"

" Yep, he just left. He wasn't going to leave til I agreed to give him my number."

" Shit if a girl says no just leave her alone." He sighs shaking his head making his way back to the door.

After about thirty minutes it begins to slow down and I decide to go to the back room and grab some more bottles.When I get back to the bar Tevan Myers is sitting there with a shot in his hand.

" Your not twenty-one Myers." I state.

" Actully I'm twenty-three..................well at least thats what my Id says."

" Are you all alone tonight?"

" No shit Teddy I'm sitting at a bar by myself."

" Awww poor Tevan but that's why I'm here."

" Yay." he says voice full of sarcasm.

" What brings you to my bar tonight?"

" Who says I'm here to see you?"

" Follow me."

He gets up and we head to the back office. I shut the door and sit on the desk while Tevan sits in the chair.

" Tevan I know you're not stupid out of all the clubs in LA you come here, to the club my dad owns and the club I work at. So please cut the bullshit and tell me why your here."

" Fine. I want you to leave Ray alone."

" My girlfriend? Your crazy."

" No I'm not, if you didn't get in the way Ray and I would of got back together."

" Dude you cheated on her."

" Like she was miss innocent, did she tell you how we got together? She was dating my best friend and she cheated on him to get with me."

" Why does this matter? " I asked frustrated.

" We are both cheaters. Ray isn't faithful she will just screw you over."

" I don't believe that, she loves me."

He laughs at me. " No she doesn't, your just something new. You know what your not even that, your just someone to occupy her time. Do you really think she wants you in her baby's life, look at your self. You have no career and you work at a bar, you'll never be able to support her. Ray is high class.....while you aren't. The baby needs a dad not a bitch."

I punch him in his nose, I'm done listening to his mouth. He cries out in pain, his nose is bleeding all over. He holds it with his shirt.

" You know I'm right, do what's best for you and back off! Your twenty-one, you don't want a baby Teddi."

He leaves the office passing my dad on the way out.

" Who then hell was that and why was he back here? He had blood running down his shirt!" he yells at me.

" He is no one."

" Get your shit together Teddi, ever since you have been hanging out with that girl you haven't been your self. You never want to work, I'm trying to run a business here. "

" That girl I'm hanging out with Is my girlfriend and I'm happy dad that's why I have been acting different. I don't want to come to work because I would rather be with her. I even enrolled in a culinary school."

" You did what?"

" Dad why can't you just be proud of me, I'm going to school and finally going to make something out of my self!"

" Teddi, I."

" Just stop," I interrupt him. " please just go ill be out there in a little bit."

He leaves and I bang my head on the desk, what the hell is wrong with everybody?"
