August

"Sooo, I wanted to ask if you want to go shopping tomorrow," Quinn says as I finish making someone's drink.

I wipe my hands on my apron and shake my head in refusal."I can't I have to uh...mop my roof." Lies. What, it was the first thing that came to mind. She looks at me with a look that screams 'Yeah right'.

"Ok I may not know you very well but I do know that no one mops their roof. We're finally off this Saturday, we have to use this to our advantage." She's still been trying to befriend me and this is another one of her tactics in getting that."Well, I'm kind of busy." Again, lies. I can finally get good sleep and just relax.

"Please, if your worried about the costs of anything there's no need. Me and Chris are celebrating our one-year anniversary so we'll be covering all costs." I scrunch my eyebrows in confusion.

"Shouldn't you guys like..go on a trip by yourselves or something?" I could've sworn that you're supposed to have the attention on your spouse for this kind of occasion.

"Well yea but we like to-"

The sound of our boss's angry voice cut through the room and we both look up to see him coming towards us."Why are we sitting around doing nothing when I'm paying you to work not sit and chat?" He yells and we both scatter. I grab a tablet and head to the floor to take orders and she stays behind the bar taking orders.

I notice a table with about 6 men flag me down. I make my way over to the table and slip a smile on my face."What can I get you all?"

"What's the sweetest thing on the menu?" A man with greasy hair and dry lips asks me with a sleazy grin.

"Um, the sweetest would be Shark Tank which is a Tequila based drink with sweet and sour gummies and the other option is Hennesy Punch which obviously is a Hennesy-based drink mixed with fruit punch and sweet hard candy," I explain and it looks like everything I just said went in one ear and out the other.

"Yea yea, so what your telling me is your on some secret menu that no one knows about?" Um, I didn't know it was possible to cringe over just one sentence. I won't say that this is new but I will say this is the most straightforward it's been. His friends, or whoever they are to him snicker and bump his arm in a bro-ish way.

"No, I don't... I'm gonna get you another waiter." I say and move to leave but he grabs my wrist and pulls me back to him."Maybe get one for these guys, but I won't need one since we'll be in the backrooms doing something unholy." Um, I feel uncomfortable.

I shake my hand out of his grip and walk away but before I could get far he grabs my waist and pulls me closer than I'd like to be."Oh come on babycakes, I won't tell."

"Yo Mason maybe just leave her alone dude." One of the other guys says but he doesn't listen. The more I try to leave the more his grip tightens. He grabs my wrist and pulls me towards the stairs that lead to the bathrooms.
