Alyssa's P.O.V
On my way to work I couldn't stop thinking of my parents.
I'm the only one that can help them get the money.
My brother has a family. He can't help.
I'll have to talk to my parents later about they're situation.
They haven't told me anything.
About twenty five minutes later I arrived.
"Hey Alyssa." My best friend said.
"Oh, hey Jess."
"What's wrong? You look distracted?" She asked me.
"I overheard my parents a couple of days ago saying that if they don't come up with thirty thousand dollars by the end of this year, they have to sell Wilson's pub. I haven't stopped thinking about it since." I told her as we began to arrange the tables for the guests.
"Have you talked to them about it?"
"Every time I try to mention it, they change the subject. I know that they don't want me to worry about it but I can't help it."
"Listen Aly, I know you're worried but what can you do? Work more jobs? You already work here and with them." She told me.
"You're right. But I still have to talk to them about the pub. They can't just avoid me forever." I said.
"Okay Aly, now let's get to work." She said as she saw some customers walk in.

Gavin's P.O.V
Me and Dominique were sitting at a table at one of the restaurants that I own Hartman's Bar and Restaurant.
"So when do you think we should go?" I asked him.
"Next week we're supposed to go check the place out, and if we like it we can meet the builders right after."
"Good. What about the contract?" I asked.
"I already made it. Here. If you want to make any changes, tell me and we'll re do it."
He said as he handed me the stack of papers.
"It looks good. I'll take it with me and read it." I said.
"Have you found anyone to hire as your fake girlfriend?" Dominique asked as a waitress came to our table.
"Hi. My name is Alyssa and i'll be your waitress this evening. What would you like?"
"I'll have some water please." I told the waitress.
"I'll have water too please." Dom said.
"I'll be back with your waters shortly." She said.

"Can I be their waitress next time? They're so gorgeous." Jessica told me.
"Yeah, okay." I told her with a weird look.
"You do know that the one who's wearing a black suit is our boss right?"
"What?" As I looked at them I immediately recognized him.
"Oh, yeah. Now I remember him."
She me gave an are you serious look.
"What? I only met him once, and i'm not like you. I don't google every single guy I meet."
"You're so clueless. And I so don't do that." She defended
"No i'm not. And yes you do." I said as I finished putting they're waters in glasses.
She was about to say something but I cut her off.
"Got to go." I said as I winked at her and went to our boss's table.
"Here you go. Do you need anything else?"
"What's with the lemons?"
"Uh. You're the boss so our manager told us to make it extra refreshing and tasteful. As he puts it." I said.
"What about mine? I'm not your boss" The other man said.
"Compliments from my friend." I said as I winked at Jessica.
"Hmm. Okay." He said as he smiled and raised his glass at Jessica to offer thanks.
She looks so confused.
"Anything else?" I asked them.
"No, thank you." They said in unison.
"Okay then. Have a nice night."
"Same to you." The boss said as he smiled.
I smiled at him and walked away.
"What was that about?" Jessica asked.
"Nothing you have to worry about." I said.
"Okay." She said.
"Anyway my parents are about to loose the family pub so I need to figure out how i'm going to get thirty grand by the end of this year. If I don-"
"I think someone might help you with that." The guy who was sitting with my boss said.

Dominique's P.O.V
"I'm about to go get a beer. Do you want one?"
I asked Gavin but he wasn't paying attention. He was doing something on his phone.
As I was walking to the bar area I overheard the waitress that served us and another one talking.
"Anyway my parents are about to loose the family pub so I need to figure out how i'm going to get thirty grand by the end of this year."
The waitress who served us said.
Gav is going to thank me one day for this.
"If I don-" She continued to say but I cut her off.
"I think someone might help you with that."
"What do you mean?" She asked.
"You'll find out soon."
"Wha-"
Before she said anything else I cut her off. I still need to talk to Gavin about this but she'll be perfect.
"Can I have a beer please?"
"Sure." The other waitress said.
"Thank you." I said as she grabbed one popped open the lid and gave me a glass along with it.
I took it and went to talk to Gavin.
"I found your fake girlfriend."
