worked at The Archer. I didn’t know what I was feeling for this girl, but she was lovely and seemed genuine. I honestly would have liked to get to know her better, as friends of course. Cindy was the love of my life, and I didn’t want to ruin that.
It felt like a long night, I’d hardly had any time to spend with Cindy, in fact I’d hardly seen her. We had just finished our last song and all I wanted was a drink and a kiss from my girl.
I made my way back to the bar and found myself heading towards Esme, she was sat on a stool behind the bar, she looked like she had music paper in front of her.
“Hey, what you doing?” I asked her.
“Oh my God! You made me jump, sorry, I’m just messing about with some stuff, what can I get you?” She asked standing up.
“Bottle of water, please. You write music?” I asked, I was very intrigued.
“Uh, not really. Just messing around with some words.”
I felt a slap on my back and I turned to see Rick, our bass player standing behind me.
“Hey dude, you been hiding this beauty from us?” Rick asked, giving Esme a big smile.
“Rick, this is Esme.” I said, pointing to Esme across the bar.
“Hi.” She said shyly.
“Hey, gorgeous, can I get a bottle of water... And a date?”
Esmeralda
A date? Rick has asked me on a date? I must have been dreaming, why would this guy be asking me out? He must have been doing it for a dare or something.
“Uh, Esme?” I heard Rick ask.
“Oh, not sure really... Why?” I asked, a little confused still.
“Why? Because you’re gorgeous and I would like to take you out. Maybe tomorrow night?”
“Um, ok, sure. I finish at ten.” I told him.
“Great, I will pick you up.” Rick said smiling, then he turned and walked away.
I looked back over to Jackson and he was frowning. I wondered what was up with him. Then he walked away, without saying goodbye.
Jackson
What was wrong with me? Why was I feeling jealous? I shouldn’t have been feeling like this, I had Cindy. Maybe I was feeling protective, Esme seemed sweet and innocent and I didn’t want her to get hurt.
“Hey, man, how come you asked out the waitress?” I asked Rick.
“Seriously? You’re really asking that? She is all innocent and gorgeous, definitely want to get me some of that.” He said, with his hand in the air waiting for a high five. Which he didn’t get.
“You can get any girl you want, why her?” I heard Cindy ask, almost with disgust in her voice, as she approached us.
“Why not?” Was all he replied.
We packed our stuff up, and started to head out; I didn’t look in Esme’s direction again. I wasn’t sure what I was feeling and why. I needed to get her out of my head.
“Come on, baby, let’s get home, so I can do all sorts of dirty things to you.” I whispered to Cindy. I had a sexy girl with a hot pussy; I didn’t need to be thinking about anyone else.
“See you tomorrow babe.” I heard Rick shout out towards the bar.

I have a date tonight I texted Marcy, Danni and Kate. Within seconds my phone was beeping again.
WTF? Who with?! Was the response I got back from Marcy.
Oh my god, seriously? Danni sent.
About time, too! Kate sent,
I replied to all three of them;
Lunch at mine. 12.30 x
I was feeling nervous about my date tonight; I’d never been on a date before and didn’t really know what to expect. I’d decided to go and get my outfit ready and sort out what I was going to cook the girls for lunch when my phone rang.
“Hi, how are you?” I asked, as I answered the phone happily.
“Esme, why haven’t you called me?” He asked.
“I’ve been busy, I got a job...” I started to tell him, when he cut me off.
“Where are you working?”
“Well, if you would let me finish, I was just about to tell you... I got a job at The Archer.”
“What? The Archer? Why are you working there? That’s not the best place for you to be working, do you need money?
