Hey guys. First chapter. Woo!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kellin's POV:
"Hey, Kellin?" Another bartender said to me as I walked behind the counter. I just nodded back at him.
"Yes. My name is Kellin. And yours is Alex." He rolled his eyes at me.
"Thank you for the information. Have you seen Jack? He's supposed to be here by now."
Jack's our bouncer. Alex told me about his slight man crush on him which is sort of cute if you think about it. I'm not really one to have "relationships". I just flirt with whomever I want. I mean, I am Kellin Quinn. I'm the bartender, the flirt, the therapist, and the sarcastic bastard. It all depends on who you ask.
"Shit! Sorry I'm late." Jack said, running in the bar door. Out of the corner of my eye I could see Alex become less tense. I just waved him off.
"Nah, man. It's good."
Vic's POV:
I can't believe they're making me do this, I thought.
Mike and Jaime are taking me (as well as Tony) to a bar called Decode. I have no interest in going. Who knows if I can even handle the amount of people there?! But no amount of convincing will give up on this stupid idea. Trust me, I've tried. Hopefully I can keep my social anxiety, at least, a bit under control.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I was walking through the building heading towards the bar with my head down to get a drink. I would definitely need one. When I looked up all I saw was the bartender. He had long black hair and the bluest eyes I've ever seen. I don't know what I was thinking though. That kind of guy would never go for someone like me.
"Shit", I heard an unfamiliar voice say.
At the same moment I felt something bump into my arm then a cold sensation not far behind. I realised what happened a second too late.
"What the hell man?! You're going to pay for that drink you just spilled!"
"I'm sorry", I mumbled then kept walking.
"Hey!" The taller man yelled, grabbing my shoulder and turning me to face him. He looked angry. Very angry.
"Don't walk away from me when I'm talking to you." He nearly growled.
"Gabe! Let it go." The black haired, blue eyed, bartender yelled.
"Kellin shut up, this doesn't involve you", Gabe replied.
"It does now. Leave" The guy, Kellin, looked at him like he was about to hit him.
Gabe gave him a stern look and rolled his eyes before turning and leaving the bar. Which resulted in it just being me and the bartender. Social anxiety is awful.
"Thank you", I looked down and blushed.
Kellin smiled at me and lifted my chin up with his soft touch.
"Hey, you're pretty cute. Can I get you a drink?" I just replied with a nod and a smile.
We got to talking and I found out he's a lead singer in a band called Sleeping With Sirens. I told him I was also in a band, but we're more of a garage band, named Pierce the Veil.
I spent about another hour at that bar talking to him. After a while Tony came to get me to go home. When we got there I thought about the night. It was a pretty pefect, to be honest. I left the house, met a cute boy that I'm into, and he invited me to one of his shows at the bar tomorrow night. I couldn't be more excited. Hopefully I'll find out if the feelings I have for him are mutual.
Kellin's POV:
"Bye Alex!" I waved. He was closing up tonight. Thank God. I honestly hated closing the bar. It was annoying and a waste of time when I could be out doing other things. Like the little Mexican looking kid that Gabe was irritating earlier.
"Later, Kells."
"I thought we agreed not to call me that at work, Lexi." I smirked, just fooling around with him. I don't have my eyes on him. Nor does he, for whatever reason, have his eyes on me. Speaking of eyes, he rolled his at me.
"See ya, man." Jack clapped me on the back as I walked out the door. Waving at him, I walked to my car, on my way home.
Opening the door to the apartment I saw Justin and Gabe sitting on the couch watching some movie.
"Hey." I said, hanging up the leather jacket I pretty much wear all the time. The people at Decode love it for whatever reason. Not gonna lie, I do look sexy in it.
Gabe turned around and glared at me. Um..'kay?
"What the fuck was up with earlier, dude." He asked making me sigh.
"You know the rules. No fighting. I don't care who you are. I love the job and I want to keep it. So don't be a little bitch about it, alright?"
"Whoa, Kells. What's your problem?" Justin asked and I shook my head, causing my black hair to fall in my eyes.
"Nothing? I just don't see a reason for him to have even started yelling at the guy."
"Ooh. Do you have a crush?" I practically laughed. I mean. I can't possibly have a crush on someone I just met. The guy is cute, but I wouldn't go as far as a crush. That's kinda why I invited him.
"Whatever." I left the living room, going to mine. Sleep sounds good. It's been a long night.
