"Sit down, I still have to make your screwdriver."

I do what was told. As I sat down, I hear the security guards coming to get the man. "Hey Bartender, you seriously hurt that man!" I raise my voice at him.

He turns around giving me my drink and says "Firstly, don't ever raise your voice at me again. Understood?"

I shook my head up and down.

"Secondly, my name isn't "bartender", it's Hades." He added as he turned around to grab the tequila.

Hades.

Isn't that a Greek God?

Well.. it suits him..

"and Lastly, I was doing it out of protection. For you, me and everyone else who is at the bar." He finished explaining and slid the cup towards me.

"Did that answer your question?" He added one last time.

Out of nervousness, I quickly shake my head up and down.

He chuckles and serves another customer.

Couple of Minutes Later...

"You've had six screwdrivers, Elliot listen to mee!" Hades says as he grabs my hand and starts to laugh.

We both laughed

Him and I instantly became friends. There was a spark. I can't even explain the feeling.

"Hades j-just give me o-one moreee" I reply sloppily. He chuckles and turns around. "YESS" I yell while my hands are in the air.

Hades turns around and gives me ice water.

"What the fuck I-is this?" I question him while I deeply stare at the cup. I stare at it for a while. "HADES IS THIS WATER?" I say after taking a sip.

"Yes it is very much so water. You need it" he says while grabbing the ice water and pouring it in my mouth.

"Elliot can we go now? This bar is so boring. Also, who is this hunk of meat you're talking to?" She chuckles.

"Jenny this is Hades, Hades this is Jenny"

"Nice to meet you" Hades says as he shook her hand.

Jenny smiled but didn't say anything. "Can we go?" She turned to me.

"You can go, I'm staying here." I answer her. She groans and stomps her foot.

"Then how are you gonna come home?" She asks. She crosses her arms and stares directly into my eyes. She was acting like my mother.

"Well, I'm gonna wait for Hades' shift to be over, and he said that he'll take me home." I say as I stare at him. I look back at Jenny and she looks defeated.

"Fine. I'll be going now." She grabs her keys from her designer bag and heads off.

Hades shift was finally over. I arrived at the bar at around eight pm, his shift was over at one am..

Thats one tiring shift..

"Well, a gentleman always takes his guest home." Hades says as he wiped the bar counter clean. "and I would never want someone like you to walk the LA streets at one am." He finished cleaning and walked around the counter to come get me. He stretched his arm and grabbed my hand and pulls me to the parking lot.

I could barely stand, my legs flopped around and gave in like a noodle. My head kept spinning but Hades was there to make sure I didn't fall.

He opened the passenger door and helped me get it. He walked around the car and got in the drivers seat.

He buckled me in and buckled himself in. He drove off.

As he was driving I start to drift off a bit, but I soon felt a hand caress my thigh. I look down to see his hand laying on top my my thigh. I turn to him and his eyes focused on the road.

I grab his resting hand and squeezed it
