We make it to the park and for once in a year I'm not worried. The trees in Central Park are changing colors and it's so beautiful. Jessica and I sat on a bench while Apollo ran around.
   " I'm so glad you are here Gen."
   "Thanks Jess I really needed this, I'm tired of just going to work and coming home."
I look at all the happy people walking dogs, talking, running. I want to be that happy. Me and Jessica talked for hours at the park. We laughed so much and we had a great time. I look at my phone to see that it's 3:00. I tell her I'm going to take the bus home to drop off Apollo before I head to work. As she leaves I get up to get Apollo. I look around the park but he is no where to be found.
   "Apollo" I yell
   "Apollo"
I walk around the park again until I spot him playing with a golden retriever. I sigh in relief.
   "Apollo, I swear you almost gave me heart attack."
   "I'm sorry was my dog bothering yours."
I look up to see who was talking to me and I lock eyes with a man with piercing blue eyes.
   "Oh no I was just looking for my dog." I stand up to leave but  Im stopped by the man.
   "Wait have I seen you before"
   "I don't think so. I don't get out much."
   "Well can I at least get a name princess."
   I walk away before he can say anything else. When I get on the bus I can't help but think of the man at the park. "Princess" who does he think he is. He was handsome though. With his blue eyes, dark hair and leather jacket. Holy shit snap out of it Gen. He is probably some egotistical brat who gets what ever he wants.
When the bus stops I get off and walk up the stairs to my apartment. I change my clothes into something more appropriate for work. And in my case that means my boobs need to be pushed up to my ears. No I'm not a stripper, but I do work with them. I'm a bartender at a club called Emeralds. I've worked there for almost five years. After the incident with Justin the girls started watching me a lot closer. If a guy at the bar gets to rowdy or to close one of the girls will jump in.  I grab my black bra crop top and I change my jeans.I only really wear makeup to work, so I usually just put on my favorite red lipstick and eyeliner. I put on my ankle boots and grab my wallet then head to work.

I walk in to see Tony. He has been the security guard here longer than I have worked here. I go behind the counter to set up before the night begins.
Later that night
The club is more packed than usual but I'm not going to argue because more tips for me. As I'm making drinks for a group of guys I hear a familiar voice from behind me.
" Dang princess I didn't know you worked here"
