I'm running and I don't know where I'm going. The sand hits my feet and I look around for him. The waves are crashing and I keep running.
"Where are you?!?!" I'm going to find you and I won't let you go. I promise. Again I run and I see him in the water his back faced towards me. I finally make it in the water and I tap his shoulder. He turns around and it turns out to be Geoffrey. It's not him. I feel the sand in the water begin to sink and it drags me under. I hold Geoffrey's hand be he's not helping. The water is covering my face and I'm engulfed in darkness. I can't breathe the water is choking me.
I wake up and end breathing heavily. What the fuck? I was actually choking the charger was across my neck I must've fell asleep that way. I check the time and it says 1:30pm. I haven't slept that long in ages. I literally roll out of bed. Hitting the floor. I begin to crawl slowly to the bathroom and I turn on the faucet. I put the stopper down and create a bath for myself.
I put soap in it and I take off my clothes and lay in the bath. I begin to hum to myself. Before finally singing out.
"I saw her today at the reception
A glass of wine in her hand
I knew she would meet her connection
At her feet was her footloose man..." I laugh to myself. I really can't sing. I hear my phone ring. Ughhhhhh noooo leave me alone. I want to be in peace.
After a good relaxation I get out the bath and get dressed for work. Thank God I can dress how want considering It's a club. I put some jeans, tank, and flat ironed my hair. I put my hoop earrings in and some flats. I look at my phone and see Natasha called. I call her back and when she answers I hear a sigh.
"Why didn't you answer my call before?" I roll my eyes and I put my last cigarette in my mouth. Shit I need a new pack.
"I was having a relaxing bath. What do you need princess?" I hear her sigh again and I rolled my eyes. I begin to leave and I get in my car and start driving downtown.
"I need you to come to our parent's today. Mom and I need you to help set up and get some things packed for me." Ha! Love my new job no more helping my sister.
"Can't have to work. Goodbye." I hang up before she can ask questions and I pay attention to the road. I finally arrive to Michael's. I walk in and see Michael working with the DJ.
"Hey Michael." he looks up at me and smiles waving. He comes down and walks to me and kisses my forehead.
"So I need you to wipe down the bar and get rid of empty bottles and restock them with new ones in the back. Please and thank you." I nodded my head and began to wipe down the bar. I went into the back. I grabbed a box full of Vodkas, Whiskey, Bourbon, and Beer. I came back out and restocked.
I grab the box and take it outside and put it in the recycle bin. I come back inside and began getting glasses together in order so I don't waste time trying to get glasses.
I put my hair up in a ponytail and Michael came behind the bar and sat on the bar.
"You mothefucker I just wiped down the bar. Can we not be douche?" he looks at me and smiles.
"No I like being a douche. Can you help get the chairs off the table?" I nod my head and he hops off the bar and I follow him and Begin getting chairs off some of the tables. I also wiped off some tables of the booths.
"So Nicole I have a question?" I looked at Michael who was across the floor and cleaningoff other tables.
"Yes Michael." I wiped off another table.
"Why didn't you tell me you liked me back then?" I quickly turned around and looked at him. I smiled and shrugged my shoulders.
"I mean I liked you." He said and nodded his head and smiled. I smiled back at him. He began to walk towards me and pretty soon we were about a few inches away from each other.
"Well too late now." I grabbed his hand and held it up.
"Looks like you have a wife." He smiles at me and kisses my cheek.
"You still could've told me about how you felt. Maybe something would've been different." I looked at him and batted my eyelashes. He looked away and smiled at me.
"I didn't want anything back then." I said and patted his chest softly. I walked passed him and made my towards the bar.
"Let the night begin mamí." I smiled and got behind the bar and within hours the club was packed and I was serving drinks like I've been doing it for the longest.
Men giving me their numbers just like 5 years ago. I served the drinks and delivered to tables. I saw a blonde come up to me and smile.
"6 tequila shots deliver them to table 3 please." I smiled and did just that as Michael stayed behind the bar. I went to table 3 and saw the blonde and Lili together.
"Hi Lili." she looked up and gave me hug. She kissed my cheeks.
"Hi beautiful. You work here?" I looked at her and nodded my head smiling.
"Now I do. I'll tell you the story tomorrow. Just call me up." she nodded her head gave me one more hug and I went back to the bar.
"Who's that Nicole?" I looked at Michael and smiled.
"A friend." He looked at me and winked.
"She's beautiful." I looked at him and smiled.
"And you're taken." I put my hand on my hip and stared at him.
"All I said is she was beautiful." I hit his shoulder and went back to work.
