VERONICA POV
I wiped down the counters cleaning up the alcohol that was spilt behind the counters. It was super busy tonight. I mean it was middle of the week and everyone wants a massive hangover at this time.
"Hey! Can I have two 'Peach Fuzzy Navels', please?" A woman yelled. I turned to the guy who works with me and groaned.
"Reggie, any chance you chance you could make a couple Fuzzy Navels?" I asked.
"I'm making 20-vodka shots right now. Give me a couple minutes." Reggie said as he poured the shots. He put salt and lime juice in it with a hint of lemon juice. He handed one to me. "Hurry, try this."
"This is phenomenal. Go sell!" I exclaimed. He winked at me and walked away with the tray. I got to cutting up peaches on the cutting board. I put those in the blender and blended them up. I finished the drink with alcohol and more fruit and served them.
"Hey! I asked for 4-glasses of whiskey almost 10-minutes ago!" A guy yelled.
"Yeah! And I asked for a mimosa almost 15 minutes ago! This is idiotic!" A woman yelled. I groaned and pulled out 4 glasses.
"Hey, need help?" I heard a voice behind me. Toni was behind me and I sighed in relief. I handed her the glasses and I made the mimosa. Things moved a lot faster now. It took forever for us to serve everyone. A few hours later, the bar cleared. Reggie, Toni, and I spent the night cleaning up. Toni was sweeping, I was wiping down the tables, and Reggie was counting the money.
"How much for tonight, Reg?" I asked.
"Almost $2,500. We did really good tonight. Are you working tomorrow?" Reggie asked.
"Yeah. Toni, thank you for helping out. I don't know what we would've done without you." I smiled. Toni smiled at me and then Reggie came over to us and picked up the dishes and glasses. He went behind the counter and started doing the dishes. It was quiet for a little bit until Toni started the conversation.
"Betty's back home. But she says she needs time away again tomorrow and the day after that." Toni moaned.
"She works hard, Topaz. She deserves some time away." I shrugged. Reggie chuckled and shook his head. "What's so funny about that?" I asked.
"Guys, she's obviously sleeping with someone. I mean, it's so obvious."
"No, she just needs time away."
"Time away is the magic phrase for 'I'm avoiding you guys so I can go get in bed with someone!' I can't believe you guys."
"You know, you're a prick." Toni glared at him. He threw his arms up and scoffed.
"Sorry for speaking the truth. Betty is with someone and you guys can't see it. You'll see it." Reggie smiled and dried his hands he got his jacket on a sighed. "Alright, I'm out. I'll see you tomorrow. Bye Toni." Reggie said and left. Toni and I exchanged looks and she crossed her arms.
"You don't think...she would do that, do you?" Toni asked. I scoffed and shook my head.
"Reggie had a few cups of whiskey! He obviously doesn't know what he's talking about." I smirked. But I had a gut feeling, I was wrong.
