getting
busy out there, looks like we're in for a good night." I quickly
jump down. "Sorry Dylan, I'll get straight back to work." He
reaches out and puts his big burly hand on my shoulder and pushes
me back down into my seat. "Relax darlin, you finish up here. You
work really hard and deserve a bit of a rest. Anyway most of the
current customers are here for Drake anyway so we may as well give
them what they want." He laughs as he sees my confused expression.
"My little brothers got a bit of a fan club so to speak. They're
out in force tonight; it's entertaining to watch though." His words
annoy me. The thought of other girls around Drake irritates me and
I don't know why. It's not as though we are even friends let alone
anything else, why should it bother me?
    I give it another ten minutes
and then grab my apron and head back out to the bar. Dylan wasn't
joking when he said there was a fan club here. There must be a
dozen girls at the bar all vying for his attention. There is more
make up and false extensions here than I have ever seen and they
are all making the most of their considerable assets as they battle
with each other for his attention. He appears to be lapping up the
attention and catching me looking he grins mischievously. I pull a
face and look away, suddenly the need to clear tables is
overwhelming. I can't help it and flick my gaze back to the scene
at the bar. I notice a girl leaning on the bar looking at him with
a flirtatious look thrusting her chest towards him. She has long
blonde hair and is beautifully tanned. Her cut off shorts leave
nothing to the imagination and her T shirt is exposing her chest. I
hear her giggle and say, "Come on Drake, you know that all work and
no play makes Drake a dull boy. Take the night off for once and
show a girl a good time." Seeing me curl my lip in disgust Drake
laughs loudly. Seeing him look she swivels around and catches sight
of me. Shock registers in her eyes as she notices my apron and she
says in a shrill voice, "I never knew there was a job going here,
why didn't you say, you know I would have been interested?" Drake
grins, "Nothing to do with me darlin, my father does the hiring and
firing around here." I see her eyes narrow as she looks at me and I
turn away. Girls like her are everywhere both here in this town and
at home. They're all the same and my sisters are no different. I
keep away from them as much as I can; they make me sick with their
fake smiles and fake everything else. All that matters to them is
landing the number one guy around and being seen with the right
crowd, well they can keep it; I have too much self respect than to
join in that sort of party.
    Ignoring them all I carry on
with my work. Occasionally I catch Drake watching me which sends
shivers down my spine. He certainly affects me and it is extremely
distracting.
    As I come out of the
kitchen with an order I can see the girl standing in front of me
looking annoyed. "Miss, can you come to the rest rooms please.
They're disgusting and I cannot possibly use them in the state
they're in." Looking at her in surprise I nod and head towards
them. I only checked about twenty minutes ago and they were fine
then. Being the only female member of staff means that I am
responsible for the replenishment of the ladies facilities. Not a
great job but somebody has to do it. However when I go inside it is
obvious that they are fine. I spin around to leave and see the girl
blocking the exit. She narrows her eyes and looks at me with a
sneer. "I've seen you looking at my boyfriend and I don't like it."
Wearily I raise my eyes. "Your boyfriend you say, and who would
that be?" Her eyes flash and she approaches me. Without warning she
reaches over and grabs my hair and twists my head around slamming
me into the mirror. The force of it causes it to break and I feel a
sudden pain as the sharp cut slices my head. "Stay away from Drake
you little slut. I know your sort, a piece of low life scum bumming
around in
