"Hey Jess I need you to mix another Screw driver." Briggs said with a smile on his freckled face.
"Sure, I'll get right on that as soon as I turn nineteen." I said rolling my eyes at our resident bartender.
"Good one Briggs I'm starting to think you really want us to lose our liquor license" Scolded our manager from where he perched in the corner . A waiter had come up a moment ago to tell him something and Mars had the corner of a smirk making its way across his face.
"Psh, come off your high horse man we both know I'm just foolin'" Grinned Briggs winking at me.
"Now, enough goofing of you terror, get back to work"
"Dude how many times have I told you, perfection can't be rushed!"
"Yes, but it can be fired if it doesn't start tending to customers"
I had stopped to take a sip of my water at the exact moment Briggs decided to stick his tongue out at Mar's and the manager retaliated in kind.
Bad idea.
Everything came out the wrong pipe and I started coughing, horribly.
At this point Mar's was mid rant about work ethic or something, (I wasn't paying attention due to my lungs screaming for air. )
"By god man will you stop can't you see the poor girl is choking?" Briggs beseeched as he started to whack my back.
" Do you care about your subordinates at all? First you work us to the bone and now this? What's next to the death? "
"No, but I just might have you put to death if you don't try, actually getting to work!"
"Jess is choking what do you expect me to do?" Briggs held up his hands as I hacked out a cough for effect.
" Leave her gasping ? Watch as the light slowly leaves her eyes and she shoves off from this blessed mortal coil."
"Quiet being so dramatic and" Briggs morphed his hands into a prayer symbol and pouted his lips. "Stop making that face" Mar's tried to keep stern. It was a losing battle. No one could fend off Briggs's puppy dog eyes.
"Your break is an hour away yet."
Except.
Apparently Mars.
"Oh and Jess."
Shit.
Mars smiled gently.
"You have a 30 minutes and " At this his expression grew pinched " Briggs can take 15, no more then that ! " He warned, gaze promising death.
"Get a drink.. of punch you both still on duty and Jess go deal with that premier thing and don't show your face around here till that clock strikes 5:15
Shock descended.
"Understood?" He bit out, abrasive tone betrayed by the smile I could see making its way across his face,.
I gulped biting back a wide grin of my own.
"Sir yes sir" I saluted.
"So off you go then". Mars waved us away.
Briggs looked around searchingly eyebrows furrowed in puzzlement.
"What are you looking for?" I asked elbowing him.
