The Bartender

Im Your Dolly

"what can I get you?" I ask the woman who is stood right in front of me at the bar waiting to be served she looks up and smiles. Her hair is brunette and curly pulled back into a high ponytail, she had a very natural makeup look very pretty brown eyes. She's out looking for a forever partner, she's not wanting to stand out, she's wearing blue skinny jeans and a black crop top paired with a black bomber jacket.

"Two pints of lager and a shot of you" she tries hitting on me, I just laugh along with her, very cheesy but I got to hand out to her she's very confident

"I'd love too but I'm taken, getting married next June" I lie smiling, to be a great bartender you've got to be a great lier I spot Harry stood next to her but he soon takes off. It's weird how I can spot him everywhere. But if i couldn't tell you if I've ever served this girl before or any one else in this bar.

She smiles at me "Oh wow! She's a lucky girl" she smiles "congratulations" she says "now if you don't mind could I get a bottle of Wicked Blue" she hands me the money and I pass her the drink she walks off into the distance.

"She hit on you then?" Mikey asks laughing I nod "and I'm here a single Pringle just waiting to be swept off my feet by some beautiful chick like her and she chooses to go for the gay one?"

"I never told her I was gay though" I tell him "I'm getting married next June to my lady fiancée" I show him my ring finger "can't you see that huge ass engagement ring Micheal? Or are you blind?" I laugh

"Well you don't technically need to wear a ring though" he says winking at me "maybe I need a huge ass sign above my head that I'm looking for a lady and your not"

"Naw is someone jealous?" Perrie asks walking up behind us "Lou gets all the female attention and I get all the male attention and poor Mikey gets none" she says rubbing his back "poor Mikey I might just start crying for you" Perrie mocks him I can't help but to laugh at her she's one of the funniest people I've ever met. Working with my two best friends is a dream come true I couldn't imagine working with anyone else.

"Me jealous never" he laughs scratching his head

Harry comes walking up to be the bar again he looks at me but as soon as I make eye contact he looks away quick as lightning. I walk up to him to take his order "hey, what can I get you?" I ask him he looks up then looks away quickly

"Beer" he simply says I take a glass from under the counter and fill it up

"How are you?" I ask him trying to make conversation passing him his beer

"Good thanks" he replies walking off. That was odd he's never that cold towards me, I shrug it off and take another order.

"What was that about?" Mikey said I think expecting it to be me and him having a big conversation or something

"Nothing, it's nothing. He's a nice guy I just need to focus on my job rather than making sure he gets home alright" I turn around taking the cigarette out from behind my ear and place it between my lips as I exit the building. I slouch against the wall and spark my lighter inhaling the fumes.

I turn my head as of hearing laughing, here he is. I cant bare to look this time. I know I know nothing about him but I can't help but to feel sorry for him... He's here most weeks with a different girl, and it never seems to lead to anything. I take another puff and close my eyes. I can't stand here listening to that. I walk around the corner and slump against the wall crouching at the bottom. The cold chill of the air wraps around my body, I feel tingles all over my body. I get hit on the head by a drop of water, I look up and the clouds are black, filthy black. I put my cigarette out before it starts to pour down.

I walk back around the corner to find that they have gone. Maybe they've gone back inside. I push open the door and the loud sound of 'Baby Shark' fills my ears... Bloody Perrie I curse. Every Saturday night she plays this song now.

I head back to the back of the bar and grab a bag of pork scratchings "what's up with you? Got a face like thunder" Perrie says poking my cheek

"1, I never got to finish my cigarette and 2, your playing Baby Shark" I sigh in disbelief

"Hey it was requested" she winks before saying "by me... To annoy you and it worked!"  I shake my head

"Couldn't you requested something decent like Post Malone?" I raise my eyebrows

"Only of you do karaoke with me to Barbie Girl?" Perrie says putting her hands in a preying position and pouts "please, pretty please"

"Fine" I huff she grabs hold of my hand and pulls me toward the karaoke machine my arms feel as if I've left my feet behind back at the bar the way she's dragging me

She touches a button and the song starts blaring out of the speakers I feel myself become more and more nervous as the words start scrolling up on the screen

"Hiya Barbie" Perrie says shit... She's just taken the role of Ken I look at her and she laughs

"Hi Ken!" I says estatic

"Do you want to go for a ride?" She says looking at me smiling

"I'm a Barbie girl, in a Barbie world
Life in plastic, it's fantastic
You can brush my hair, undress me everywhere
Imagination, life is your creation" I sing playing with my hair putting on a show

Perrie laughs "Come on Barbie, let's go party!" She says putting on a husky voice

"I'm a Barbie girl, in a Barbie world" I smile "Life in plastic, it's fantastic" I put my hands on my moobs winking at the audience causing them to burst out in laughte "You can brush my hair, undress me everywhere Imagination, life is your creation"

"I'm a blond bimbo girl, in a fantasy world
Dress me up, make it tight, I'm your dolly
You're my doll, rock-'n'-roll, feel the glamour in pink
Kiss me here, touch me there, hanky panky
You can touch
you can play
if you say "I'm always yours" " I feel myself going bright red the song soon finishes and the bar  erupts in laughter I try to spot Harry in the crowd but he's not there. I turn to Perrie and grab hold of her waist and we bow together blowing kisses

"Want an autograph?" Perrie shouts "we are right behind the bar!" She laughs
