Song of chapter: I love this bar by Toby Keith

"Screwdriver!" Someone yells at me from somewhere behind me.

"On the way!" I report back to the person who order a drink that is not one of my favorites personally.

"One Tom Collins." I deliver to the person in front of me and they hand me ten dollars for the drink.

Putting in the cash register, I move back towards the alcohol and start making a screwdriver.

I pour vodka in the bottom of the ice filled glass till it's 1/4 filled from the bottom then I switch to the orange juice and I fill it up the rest of the way. I take the drink to the guy.

"Putting it on my tab." He says and I nod. I look at Caleb and he nods and writes it down. I'm busy filling orders from everyone, not really paying attention to the people that were paying for it, luckily Caleb was.

"Martini please!" A women yells I look at her with smile and a nod.

I grab a clean glass and metal drink shaker, setting it in front of me. "Vodka or gin? Shaken or stirred?" I ask the following questions to her.

"Vodka and shaken please." She says politely and I smile and do what she asks. I take the vodka and pour it into a glass and mix it with Vermouth taking a scoop of ice I slide in the glass. Putting the shaker on top I shake the it as I grab a chilled glass from the freezer. Pouring the mix liquid in the martini glass through the tiny holes through the shaker. Letting the ice flakes collect on top. Dropping two olives in the glass I hand it to her.

"On my tab please and here's a tip." She hands me ten bucks and I thank her for it.

Shoving it in my apron I go on to my next order. "Scotch smooth please." I smile and turn around.

"Well if it isn't Mr. Shady." I say as I walk up to him. As Caleb gets the other customers for me, some of them boo at him because he isn't me and I roll my eyes at that.

"Yes, in the flesh." He smiles at me and I look at him with skeptical look.

"Okay what are you up too? You have a look in your eye telling me you aren't here for the scotch." I say with quirked up eyebrow.

"Do you have a second to talk?" I nod my head and yell at Caleb telling him I'll be back in a minute. I leave the bar walking to the back alley with the guy following me.

I open the door and let him go first and follow along behind him. "So what's up? Just know if you are trying to pull something on me, I will kick your ass, my mom didn't raise sissy girl." I tell him and he chuckles and shakes his head.

"No I wanted to offer you a business deal, I've seen some of your plays and I want you to come audition for me. I need a leading women in my movie that my partner and I are directing." My jaw hit the floor and I just stared at him.

"But-but I don't know you, how do I know if you are just pulling my leg?" I question him and he looks at me and chuckles with a shake of his head.

"All you have to do is say I do and all your dreams with come true."

One month earlier

Aaron's point of view

"Excuse me?" I ask my parents in dismay. They couldn't possibly be doing this to me could they?

"Yes we are telling you what you need to hear. You signed a contract, and made a deal with me five years ago that you will be married before you take full ownership of this business." I stare at my father trying to recall this so called talk we had.
