Can this day get any worst! Well not totally for me of course. Unless I'm not the one sitting in Ace's office with a black eye and busted lip.
Veronica and I's fight got a little well a lot out of hand which was later on involved with the cops. We were placed in a cell for about two days and that's it. Now, we're in loads of trouble.
"I'm so disappointed in both of you." Ace yelled as he slammed his fists on the wooden desk; which was kind of hot.
"You embarrassed my company, the entire staff, and ME! Your behavior and huge encounter is constantly playing on CNN and on various social media." He shouted.
"She started. I don't know why you put up with her." Veronica spat.
"ME! I'm the one who started it. You came at me first." I yelled angrily.
"Your a lier and a bitc-"
"LADIES!" Ace shouted in rage. "What the hell is wrong with you two! You both are on suspension for two weeks. Your not allowed to come to work or even show up here for anything."
"But Ace I" I started, but Ace cut me off by yelling "NO! Shut up HARPER! GET OUT! Both of you. Leave!"
Quickly, a feeling of hurt flashed across my face. I felt guilty and ashamed of myself. Ace never yelled directly at me before. My heart started to ache in pain. All I was trying to do was tell the truth not cause any trouble. The worst part of all is that I think I really really like him. Maybe Veronica's right.
Before he or that bitch can say another word, I walked out his office. I held back my tears that was about to explode out of my eyes.
All the employees stared at me as I made my way out of the building. I quickly got into my car and drove to Handy's Bar. I haven't went to that place since my best friend Emily threw the end of graduation party there.
I haven't seen her since high school. She attended a college in New York and I stayed here in California. As time passed by, we haven't called or texted each other. Now, we came to the point that we haven't communicate with one another for a year and six months. Sad isn't it?
As I made my way into the bar, the strong smell of alcohol slapped me across my face. Well, not hard enough to change my mind and walk out of here. I sat down at the black shiny table and turned off my phone. I need some time to myself and to take a couple of drinks in peace.
"Yo, HARPER is that you." the bartender with silky black hair and dark brown eyes smiled at me with his perfectly straight teeth.
"Who are you?" I questioned. I know that I've seen that face somewhere before, but it doesn't ring a bell.
"My name is Alessandro Garcia, the skinny boy with the braces and acne all around his face." He stated.
"Oh My Gosh!" I covered my hand over my mouth in shock. "Alessandro wow.. You you wow WOW"
He started to chuckle at my state of shock.
"So what brings you here?" I smiled.
"Well, I'm actually a mechanic, but on Tuesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays I'm a bartender here from 7:00pm to 12:00am."
"That's cool. I'm working at Black Inc. along side with Mr. Black."
"Wow. I always knew you would have make it there. Your in love with books and was the best writer in Oliver Hill High School."
I started to blush a little at what Alessandro said. I can't believe that I'm actually having a conversation with my old high school classmate.
"Yo Alessandro! Can I get Red Sangria." A man with a thick black beard hollered from the left side of the table.
"Coming right up" Alessandro shouted back.
"Do you want something?" He smiled at me.
"Oh sure. Can I get a Blue Lagoon please?"
"Okay. Hold on for two minutes." He said and started to prepare our drinks.
I couldn't help but admire his perfectly shaped muscles as he pour the drinks in the wine glass. You can tell that he really worked out during the college years. He went to the skinny tiny Italian boy to the buff fit Italian man.
As a few minutes passed, Alessandro and I kept talking and talking until his shift was over. We talked about the times we spend together, work, and many other things. Plus, I've had about 12 or maybe was it 15 drinks of Blue Lagoon. Now, I'm totally wasted to the point I'm here like an idiot singing my heart way on the stage.
"Tell me why
Ain't nothin' but a heartache
Tell me why
Ain't nothin' but a mistake
Tell me why
I never wanna hear you say
I want it that way" I screeched loudly.
To make it worse, I can't sing if my life depends on it.
"Stop singing you bitch! Get your ass off the stage." a British man with blonde hair yelled at me with disgust in his eyes.
"Shut the fuck up. I can do whatever the hell I WANT" I shouted back.
All of a sudden, a very very attractive man lifted me up and carried off the stage. He seemed very angry and pissed. His jaw clenched and his eyes are narrowed.
"Am I in heaven because I think I see an Angel." I said as I touched his soft face.
"Stop it Harper. Your drunk... I've been looking everywhere for you." He said angrily.
"Blah blah blah... Your hot but Your so mean" I pouted.
The very attractive man was about to speak, but this cute Italian guy approach us.
"What's going on? Where are you taking Harper?" He questioned.
"And who are you?" The attractive guy spat.
"I'm Alessandro, an old friend of Harper. Harper, who the hell is this" the Italian guy stared at me.
I looked up to the handsome man who was holding me and somehow think I know who it is.
"Umm this is... King.... No Queen... Jack... Clubs... Hearts..."
"It's Ace and I'm her boss" He said furiously.
Before Alessandro could say another word, Ace took me out of the bar and into his limousine.
" Take me to Harper's apartment." He said to the driver.
The drive was quite quiet for a while until I opened my mouth and speak.
"Clubs" I said softly.
He turned to me and his eyes softened.
"No Harper. It's Ace."
"Do you hate me?" I asked while staring into his eyes.
"No, I don't hate you." I responded.
I smiled and laid down on his lap. He took out a navy blue blanket and covered me with it. I snuggled into the blanket and closed my eyes.
"Oh Harper, why did you get yourself into this mess?"

Hey guys, thanks so much for continuing to read this book. I haven't had the time to update for a long time. I was more focusing on my school work, clubs, and other extra curricular activities I'm in. Although, I will try my best to update this book. It wouldn't be very fast though to be honest. However, I'll update it as soon as I get the chance.
