Across From You (Jerika)

chapter 8

Chapter 10

Erika's POV- It was Monday morning, Jake had gone home last night since we both work today. I still don't know where he works. I'll probably ask him later when I see him, today I am telling Max about Jake and me. I hope he will be happy for me. Max is more understanding then Charlie. As I was getting up, I heard my phone ding and a smile grew on my face as I noticed it was from Jake.

Text Convo

Jake- Morning Beautiful, I hope you have a good day at work <3

Erika- thank you bby, I hope you have a nice day. Can't wait to see you later <3

n/a POV- it feels weird being back at the bar, I was only gone for 2 weeks but something just feels off. Now we have security in the entrance and by the bar, Max is working tonight. Uncle Jim has been out taking care of my aunt. She has been really sick lately, I visited her a couple days ago when Jake was working. She was so excited to see me.

Max- Hey Rik

Erika- hey Maxxxx, I have something to tell you later

Max- what is it?

Erika- oh you will find out later, and I hope you're not too mad at me.

Max- Rikkk tell me please.

Erika- nope. Come on, time to get the bar ready

Max- ugh Rik you are such a tease

Erika- haha you will know soon

Erika- yes of course coming right up. (hands him his drink)

Guy 2- thanks

Guy 3- hey can I get a beer?

Erika- umm can I see your ID please

Guy 3- uh yea (hands Rik a fake ID)

Erika- (smirks) nice try David from Florida. So, what do you want water or a soda? Oh also (cuts his fake id in half) this is illegal

Guy 3- oh come on, you didn't have to cut it, that was two hundred bucks

Erika- well your loss of two hundred, it clearly isn't a good one, you got scammed.

Guy 4- hey pretty lady can I get a beer.

Erika- coming up (hands the other guy a cold beer)
