His Hott Mess (A country music FanFic)

Late night rush

Chapter: 9

I looked up from the bar and I was almost in shock. For once in her life Jen was actually on time for work.

" Hey Rust come out here and check the damn sky and make sure it ain't fallin." I yelled and Jen shot me a go to hell look.

" Why is that.. Well hell looky here little miss I don't have time for work decide to show up on time tonight." Rusty said walking out of the office and out to the bar.

" Honestly Rusty I don't know why you put up with her." I added.

" Fuck you Shelby." She said pulling her purse off her shoulder to put it behind the bar.

" No thanks Jen I don't do leftovers. Especially the leftovers of almost every man in Nashville." I said.

" You're such a bitch Shelby. You're just mad because no man wants you." She huffed as she went to clock in.

" Really Jen? Have you seen her boyfriend? Your last one was missing two front teeth and had tattoos that looked like he was attacked by a mob of kindergartens with markers. " Rusty said laughing.

At this point Mr. Lowell walked in and took his usual seat at the bar.

" Hey Miss Shelby. You're lookin awful pretty tonight. Is that handsome man of yours back in town?" He asked.

" Hello Mr. Lowell. Thank you Sir and yes he is." I smiled pouring his shot and then placed it in front of him.

" OK girls the lounge will be open tonight for head room only we ain't opening the bar up there. I want you on the bar Jen so that will free Shelby up to work the floor." Rusty told us.

" Why in the hell does she always get the floor? You know the floor makes more in tips and she gets personal time and breaks when she has company on the floor." Jen bitched.

" Probably because I take my job seriously. I show up on time and do my job the right way. I know the names of each one of our regulars and I can tell you where to find anything you need in this place. There for Rusty trust's me. " I said strapping on my money apron.

" You're just an ass kisser." She mumbled.

I didn't say a word I just grinned and walked around the bar to grab three bottles of Bud Light and three shots of Jose Cuervo.

" What in the hell is that for? No one has even ordered anything yet." Jen rolled her eyes.

" You are right no one has ordered yet but if you knew anything about this bar or our customers you'd know that the three girls Amy, Alexis and Issy who just walked in order the same thing every night after a long day at the BMI building. " I smarted off walking around to walk over to their table to serve them.

" Hey Shelby! How are you tonight?" Amy asked.

" I'm doin good darlin. How was y'alls day at work?" I asked them as I passed out their drinks.

" Same as always.. Pure hell.. Philip is an ass." Issy answered smiling.

" So miss Shelby did that handsome man of yours ever make it back in town?" Alexis asked winking.

" Yes ma'am he did he is actually coming by tonight before he goes into the studio." I told her.

" Well looking like you do tonight its no wonder he is coming by to make sure no man is moving in on his woman." Amy teased.

" OK ladies the rush will be startin in about five minutes so I better get ready. If you need anything just holler." I told them taking their money and stuffed it in my apron before walking over to a table of cowboys.

" Hey there fellas what can I do for y'all tonight?" I asked.

" Howdy darlin. Can we get a round of Coors and four double shots of Wild Turkey please?" The guy in a red shirt asked.

" You got it honey." I told him and went over to the bar to get their orders...

I had been running my ass off on our nightly rush and I really needed to take a small break. I needed to pee so I walked over to Rusty who was standing at the left end of the bar.

" Hey Rust." I yelled over the music causing her to turn to face me.

" What's up darlin?" She yelled back.

" I really need to run to the bathroom and I have two couples at table twelve who ordered. The blonde ordered the Atomic Bomb and the red head ordered the Alabama Slammer and for the men a Samuel Adams and a Corona. Can you take it for me until I get back?" I asked her.

" I got it doll go piss and get back out here babe." She told me and as usual slapped my ass as I turned to walk way.

I took my break and went to the bathroom. After I used the bathroom I washed my hands and looked in the mirror. I took a minute and fixed my hair and reapplied my eyeliner and lip gloss before walking back out to the bar where Rusty was waiting with a tray. It held a bottle of Miler Lite and a Bud Light and two shots.

" Hey Shelby I need you to run this up to the lounge to the far right booth and when you are done take your first break." She said handing me the tray.

I didn't question her I just took the tray and made my way up the stairs and to the back table. It was kinda dark in the corner so I couldn't see who the person was. It was a popular seat for our more secretive customers such as cheating spouses and our occasional celebrity looking for a quiet private place to have a drink. I walked over to the table and was surprised that it was only one guy with his cap pulled down low so I couldn't see his face.

" Here's your drinks Sir." I said and placed the drinks on the table in front of him.

" Have a seat darlin." I heard a raspy voice say that I felt was one I knew but I couldn't place it.

" Oh thank you Sir but I'm working right now." I fibbed.

" Well now that's too bad I guess I'll just have to keep this until you can go through with our deal." He said and as soon as he placed my phone on the table the recognition set in.

" Tyler! I didn't know it was you." I said sitting down as he looked across the table at me with a grin.
