His Hott Mess (A country music FanFic)

Back to the bar

Chapter: 3

My phone rang and woke me up. At first I told myself screw it and go back to sleep but then I thought what if something was wrong with Rusty or worse Cole. I rubbed my eyes and looked at my phone. Damn it mom stop fucking calling already I thought to myself when I recognized the number as her boyfriends and decided that since it was already five o'clock I might as well get up and fix myself something to eat before I got dressed for work.

I rolled over from my back to my stomach and grabbed my phone so I could see it better. I had three instagram notifications and some Twitter notifications so I opened instagram first. I had two new followers and a comment on a picture of me, Cole and Rusty at the bar the night he asked me to move into his apartment. It wasn't too long after that I took Rusty's loan to buy my house.

One of my new followers Becca commented:

Aww you guys look so happy ;-)

I didn't say anything back I just figured that she must be one of his new fans either from opening for the country star Luke Bryan's farm tour or from his night's of playing at a bar called The Peachtree Tavern in Atlanta Georgia.

I didn't check my Twitter I just cleared my phone, put it back on the bed and pushed myself up leaving it laying there. I went into the bathroom to pee then washed my hands and walked down the stairs to the kitchen. I put on a cup of coffee in our single cup coffee maker and went over to the refrigerator to get out some lettuce and tomato and Turkey breast and put it on some honey wheat toasted bread.

I took my time eating and I drank my cup of coffee before going up to the room to find my clothes for work. I chose a pair of cutoff shorts that rested just below my ass cheeks and a Mossy Oak tree camo tank top that my boobs poked out the top of in my new bra and got dressed. I decided to wear my hair curly and half pulled up with curls pulled out here and there around my face to look a little messy. I brushed my teeth, fixed my makeup, stuck my eyeliner and lip gloss in my back pocket and grabbed a pair of socks and my phone and then went down stairs.

Once I got down stairs I put on my socks and boots tucking my phone down in the leg of the right one for it's safety. I was thirsty so I ran to the refrigerator and grabbed.. No not a beer.. A bottle of water and grabbed my keys as I ran out the front door. I locked the door went around back and filled up Murray's food and water bowls before jumping in my truck. I wasn't sure why but I was in the mood for some rock music so I grabbed my Puddle Of Mud CD and put on the song "Control" before backing out of the driveway.

It didn't take long to get to the bar and get the truck parked in the back parking lot like I did every night.. the only thing was tonight there was a big white bus parked in mine and Rusty's parking spots by the back door. Before I got out of the truck I downed my bottle of water, touched up my lip gloss and grabbed my earbuds from around my rear view mirror and headed in the back door.

" Shelby! Hey doll!" Jerry our head of security said picking me up with a big bear hug.

" Hey handsome!" I laughed as he let me go.

" Damn it's been a while since I've seen ya girl." He smiled.

" I know.. So how's that wife and baby boy doin?" I yelled over the music as I punched his arm.

" They are doin good! I'm a lucky man.. So how is that Cole treatin ya girl?" He asked.

" Ah he is a typical man I guess. Hey where's Rusty?" I asked shrugging at his question.

" She is out there on the bus talking to the singer and his crew." He told me pointing out the door.

"OK well I'm goin to piss and then upstairs to wipe down the lounge and set up my bar up there. Tell Rust I'm clocked in and gettin started when she comes in." I told him patting his back as I turned in the direction of the ladies bathroom.

I went into the first clean stall I came to and as I started to pee I snarled my nose at the sound of someone throwing up two stalls down.. Damn they were starting early tonight I thought and hurried to wash my hands and headed out to the office to clock in. When I was done I went back behind the bar to tell Carlo our male bartender who took over for me on our heavy traffic nights to send Trevor our ice boy up to bring me the ice I'd need to ice down the beer.

" Tell Trevor I need twelve bags up in the lounge." I yelled over the music and made my way upstairs.

Once I got up to my post for the night I grabbed a bar towel and the disinfectant spray and laid them on the table while I grabbed me phone from my boot and plugged my earbuds in. I tucked my phone in my bra for the moment and like I had said before I was in a rock music kind mood and the DJ was spinning some Taylor Swift witch wasn't my thing anyway so I put on the song " Fuck Me Like You Hate Me" By Seether and started my job as I sang.  

I watched Trevor pour my ice into my coolers and when he left I started to empty the crates of beer into them by the arm full. After I finished setting up my bar I grabbed one of the first Miller Lites I had put in the cooler knowing it would be cold and popped the top. Yeah.. Yeah. I know what your thinking.. Damn this girls an alcoholic right? Na not really I just enjoy my beer... Anyway.. The lounge was more of an indoor balcony then a room seeing as how you could look over the railing and see everything that was happening on the main floor under you so I walked over to look down at the crowd that had gathered. Damn this guy playing tonight must be pretty good I thought and walked over to the other side to look down at a group of girls who were obviously already dunk. They were staggering all over the place and laughing at nothing.

I took my earbuds out of my ears and laid them on the bar along with my phone and walked back over to the railing to continued to watch the drunk girls acting like fools as I drank my beer. After a minute or two the DJ put on Luke Bryan's new song "I See You" and I couldn't help but sing and dance to it.

" Your lips, your eyes girl, since you told me goodbye...

I can't go anywhere, I can't do anything.. No, I can't close my eyes without you in my dreams.. You won't leave me alone, even though I know your gone

I look around for someone new, but I see you.. Jumpin' up there with the band.. talkin' me by the hand

Hey boy come dance with me

Struck like a melody in my head

In the bed of my truck

By the light of a midnight moon

Baby I see you.." I sang loud in my own little world.

" Hey! It's the singin, dancin bartender, waitress!" I heard someone say and I turned to see the same tall brown haired guy from last night but this time he wasn't alone..
