Being a carter. (Eastenders)

Twenty four

It's nearly a month later and it's been busy with the pub and helping Sharon organise the wedding, tomorrow is her hen night and I'm looking forward to going out and having some fun.

I was behind the bar and I was working on my own, as Mick was out at the cash and carry with Nancy and the others, we'll god knows where they were Tina was late for her shift and Tracy was off sick.

It was around three in the afternoon and the pub was reasonably quite and I was considering closing for a bit till others show up as I had been on my own.
Just then Dean walks in and up to the bar
"Whiskey" he asked with a smile
I turn and get the glass and fill it up
"Double" he said again.
I fill it up and turn and give it to him and he gulps it back and holds the glass out to me.

"Another?" I asked her him

"Please" he said, I take his glass and fill it and turn to him and I hold out my hand.

"What?" He says looking at me.

"The money, we might be family but I'm trying to make a living here hunni" I chuckle

"Oh yeah" he said fumbling around me in his pocket for his wallet.
He drops his wallet and picks it up watching him I realise that he was slightly tipsy he hands me the money and I walk over to the till and get his change and hand it to him

I decided it was definitely time now to close up for a bit so I walk around the bar and start telling the very few people that I was closing up but we will be back open soon.

Everyone leaves except Dean and I pick up the empty glasses off the table and put the on the bar and I turn to look at Dean.

"Come on hunni you time for you to leave" I said we a chuckle.

"Okay" he said we a nod "can I just say that Mick he is one lucky fella to have a girl like you" he said leaning on the bar before walking over to me tripping over on his way.

"Thank you" I said catching him.

"Your welcome Elle" he said looking into my eyes at that point in time I felt uncomfortable "God your beautiful" Dean said looking into my eyes. I go to open the door and Dean stops me and kisses me on the lips pushing me up against the door.

I push him backwards and look at him he was smiling
"What the hell" I yell at him

"Come on Elle don't say you never enjoyed that" he said stepping forward to me going to kiss me again
I slap him across the face and look at him "leave now" I say calmly looking at him

Dean looks at me holding his face with his hand
"Go on you heard me get out my pub" I said with more anger in my voice this time I couldn't believe what had just happened I open the door for Dean hoping he would get the hint and leave and he did, he walks past me and I close the door and lock it I stand there in shock I couldn't believe what had happened my first thought was do I tell Mick but if I told him he would flip out he would kill him so I couldn't.

I decided to push it to the back of my mind and try and forget it happened at the end of the day Dean was drunk after all.
