The 5th member~QUEEN *ON HOLD*

1967-"Are you suggesting that I take the job?"

September 10th, 1967
I knock 3 times before I hear footsteps. I hold 2 cups of coffee in one hand and 2 scones in the other.

Finally, the door was ripped open. Margot smiled at me before pulling inside.

Margot is someone I met while touring my new school.

I took a break and went outside to smoke a fag when I saw Margot leaning against the brick wall.
After that, we hit it off. Now, 2 days later, she called me over to talk about something.

"Ooh, you brought scones. And coffee. Darling you are a lifesaver." She guided me towards the dining table.

"Yeah, yeah. Anyways, why did I have to haul myself out of bed this early?"

"Well, yesterday you were saying that you hopelessly needed a job before the end of October right?"

"Yeah..."

"Well, my mom owns a pub. It's close to your flat and is in need of a bartender."

"Are you suggesting that I take the job?"

"Yes, my mum asked me but I have my job at the diner, so I told her about you and she said that the job is yours if you want it."

"But Margot, I don't know how to make a bloody drink."

"Yes, but she said she'll have her best bartender show you how too."

I think about. I have no experience in bartender but I could learn so that wasn't the problem. I also don't think the pay is all the great. I mean, It's something but I'll probably have to get another job, but that also isn't the biggest problem. The problem here is that I'm not sure that's what my mum would want. Maybe I just won't tell her.

Yeah I just won't tell her.

"Ok...yeah alright...I'll do it." She cheered and I smiled before taking a sip of my coffee.

"Anyways, when am I going to meet this hot boyfriend you have been telling me about?"

"First of all, I've only mentioned him once when I told you who I lived with and second of all, you'll meet him when school starts."

The next day Margot called me and told me that her mum wanted to meet me.

I didn't know exactly what to wear so I decided on a shortsleeved sweater and tucked them into high waisted jeans.

The bar was pretty large. It had a big dance floor with a stage and some booths. The bar also was quite large. Many drinks were decorating the wall behind the bar. The bathrooms were right next to a hallway with a few doors and many posters of different bands.

Sitting at bar was an older lady, looked to be around my mother's age. She had a lovely smile resting on her face.

"Hello dear, you must be Jaqueline Avril. I'm Ami Bozemon, Margot's mother." She stood up to greet me.

"Nice to meet Mrs. Bozemon. I must thank you for this opportunity."

"Oh. I problem dear. We needed the help and please, call Ami." She said

"Well, it's nice to meet you then Ami."

"Well, shall we get started?"

"We shall."

"So, you shifts would be Friday nights, Saturday nights, and Sunday nights between 6-12pm. In the beginning, we'll have you shadow someone so you can see what they are doing and then we will get you going solo. We don't have a uniform but we do have a dress code. Jeans, trousers, or shorts pared with a loose or tight fitting shirt. Band tees aren't required but are preferred. We do have live bands on Friday and Saturdays. I understand that you are studying to become a doctor so if you need any time to study or if you can't make it in one day just call me and I'm sure we can fix up something."

"Ok...anything else?" I ask

"No, just that I was hoping today I could help you with some easier drinks and show you some of things back here and then we'll have you start this week if that's alright?"

"Perfect."

So that's what we did. She showed me the different sizes of glasses. The shot sizes. The different tubes and nozzles. I learned how to mix the simplest of cocktails and Ami even gave me a couple of drinks to practice with.

I went home feeling excited about my first shift this week.

Dropping the bag of booze and my purse on the table, I headed towards the loud bang of drums coming from my angel's room.

I watched Roger through the the doorway to his bedroom.

His eyes were closed and his lips were slightly parted. His bangs stuck to the side of his head with sweat.

He looked magnificent.

The noise suddenly stopped as his eyes opened and he saw me.

"Jesus Doll, you scared me. When did you get home?" He asked while settling his sticks on the snare.

"Just now." I smiled before sitting on the end of his bed.

"So how did it go?"

"Awesome actually. I learned a lot today and I'm starting Saturday for a shadowing day and then I'm officially starting next week."

"That's good. Are you excited?" He asked

"Yep."

He got off the throne and made his way over to me. He tried to kiss me but I pushed him away.

"Roger, no, you're also sweaty." I giggled when he pouted.

"But I haven't seen you all day. I need my daily dose of cuddling."

"Later. Go shower and then we can maybe cuddle."

"Then what are you going to do?"

"I'm going to practice my bartending skills." He only nodded and then left.

A few days later, I found myself shadowing a very nice man named Berkley. He was going to be my partner during my actual shifts but for right now they had a girl name Meredith working.

Bartending was much harder than I expected. Some of the people were so rude, some didn't leave tips, everything was so fast, there were fights, and some of the drinks people were asking for were just so outrageous.

"Alrighty and now we just count inventory and clean up." Berkley said after we closed the doors 1 hour after my shift ended.

"That was tiring." I expressed while wiping down the bar.

"Yeah, just wait for your Friday shift, that is probably the worst night to work."

"Why?"

"Well, it's when all the college students come and when the best bands play." I cringed at the thought of what Friday brings. "You'll do great. Don't worry. I'll be here if you need me and I think Meredith will be working as well."

"Ok."

After closing up, I headed home. I walked because driving just seemed so unnecessary considering it was only a 10 minute walk.

When I got home, Roger was asleep so I headed to the bathroom.

I stripped down to nothing and got into the shower. I hummed as I washed my body with vanilla body wash.

After drying and putting on pajamas, I laid down in my bed, pulling the covers up to my chest.

I smiled as I realized that I was stating school in a little more than 24 hours.

Ok, thanks for reading. I've really got nothing to say. I'm sorry if this was a bad chapter. I had a horrible week. I found out that my dog has to be put down and that my cousin died of a heart attack. Anyways, hope you guys liked it. Bye loves.
