My first Job..... Wierder than I expected.

It's almost time to leave for work and Lisa was still busy dolling me up.

"Lisa, you cant possible fit more makeup on my face."

"Oh my word, just shut it. You always moan so much. I'm almost done. Just a little bit of a swish on this side..... Ok..... Ok, im done, have a look!" she said with a grin from ear to ear.

I turned around to see my reflection in the mirror, but i did not see myself. I saw a goddess of Beauty. My scruffy, over curly hair was straight. My baby face looked so adult.... And super model like. My shirt was so low cut, that my average sized breasts seemed to look huge and left nothing to the imagination but really showed off my figure in a good way. It even made my hips, which i thaught to be a bit large, look like a barbie doll. And i liked it.

"Honey, you are going to make more tips than anyone, ever before! You look drop dead gorgeous! Oh my word, even i didnt know this would be the outcome. I mean you usually hot as hell, but now you are on fire!"

"I cant believe Im about to say this Lisa, but I actually really like it!"

"Well it would be too late to change if you didnt. OMG we had better get going. You are going to go break some hearts tonight girrrl!"

We drove the 5 minutes to the old pub. No really, that was its name. The Old Pub. As we pulled into the parking i noticed a hell of alot of cars parked outside. The surrounding shops were all closed already so it could only be patrons of the pub.

" Lisa its so busy. What if i mess up in front of all these people. Maybe we should just go home and il look for a job as a cashier or something instead?"

" Oh hell no! Get your gorgeous ass in there and go go blow those peoples minds. You have never failed at anything. You can do this. Its just pretty much opening beers and handing them out. What are you afraid of. Cmon, go make a killing!"

I didnt even have time to answer her and she was already leaning over me to open my door and pushing me out. I stood there for a while watching her drive out shouting "byeeeee".

I walked into the loud, busy Old Pub and everyone went instantly silent and turned their heads toward me. I swear i saw a few men sniffing the air. Did someone fart or something. Do i smell bad. What the hell? And absolutely every one of them looked like something out of a sports magazine. Frikken hot! Am I hallucinating?

"Clarry, over here." called my new boss Andrew, "calm down everyone, this is my new barlady, Clarry, lets all try to make her feel welcome ok." he looked at me. "dont you worry, they just not used to new comers is all. You can start over here this side of the bar with me. This is Dean, he has been working for me for forever and a day. If im ever not around, and you need anything, ask Dean. He has been with me long enough to know everything I know. Probably because I taught him everything I know incase I cant be here."

Everything went quite smoothly for my first night. The patrons warmed up to me and most came and introduced themselves when coming to the bar for a new drink.

One man, however, made me feel really uncomfortable. He sat in the corner and stared at me all night. He never came to get a drink. Everyone seemed to get drinks for him. He drank so much while I was there. I dont know how many he had before I arrived but jeez, he should be passed out by now. But he wasnt. He was still completely composed and just sat there, staring at me. I felt like I needed to cover up but I didnt get a chance to grab my jersey while I was being pushed out of the car. I took a mental not to scold Lisa later.

I suppose you always get the creepy guy in a pub.

It was passed midnight already and these guys all looked like they were still sober. Yes they were dancing, playing pool, getting louder, etc, but nobody looked like they were getting drunk. Its crazy. I have two drinks and im tipsy.

Two men in the corner seemed to be having an argument. The shouting between the two of them getting louder. The older looking guy grabbed the other by his shirt, pulled him close and was shouting in his face. (was that a growl). They instantly stopped when someone shouted stop. I looked in the direction of the that the voice cam from, to find it was the creepy guy who had been staring at me all night. He must be a boss of theirs or something. They listened instantly. Hell if someone shouted at me with a voice and tone like that, id also stop in my tracks, and then probably run away. It was so deep. So chilling. So dominating. I guess i must have been staring for a while, because he was frowning at me now. The look in his eyes made me feel like curling up into a ball inside the under counter cupboard.

A few patrons started saying their goodbyes and left.

"Hey Clarry, its getting late. You have had a very long first shift. Why dont you grab a drink and celebrate your succesful first night while you count your tips. You can sit the other side of the counter so nobody asks you for any more drinks. Last rounds have been called and they can be pretty pushy about getting more drinks so maybe just watch how Dean deals with that for tonight. Once everyone has left Dean can drop you at home while I close up for the night. "

" Thank you Andrew. I dont live far though, and i dont want to put Dean out of his way. I can walk. "

" You most certainly wont walk! Not in these parts, not at this time of night. Dean goes that way anyway. " Andrews usual caring tone had changed to almost panicky.

" Oh, is the crime bad in these parts? "

" I guess you could say that. "He said under his breath as he hurried away to the store room.

I grabbed a cider from the fridge along with my tip jar and headed to the other side of the counter to count my tips for the night. I noticed Deans wasnt half as full so i popped a few notes in his jar on the sneak as I walked past.

"You must be thirsty." the deep chilling voice behind me nearly made me choke on my drink which I had almost flattened in the minute id been sitting there. Wow. I didnt realise how thirsty I had been.

"Its been a long night." i decided to play it cool with mister creepy.

"You handled yourself quite well for someone so...... Petite." he sounded like he was struggling to find the last word.

"Umm, thank you."

"You dont have to be afraid of me."

"What makes you think Im afraid of you?" i said as sweetly as I could manage.

"Your heart rate nearly shot through the roof and has remained so ever since I approached you."

"Just nervous......how do you know that my heart rate is up?"

"I can see it in the vein on your neck, just under your jawline."

"Oh." my hand automatically shot up to my neck. (Traitorous veins) i thaught.

"Andrew!" He shouted and Andrew came hurrying out of the store room.

"Yes alf..... Err Jason?" Andrew corrected himself after shooting a glance at me almost like he was checking to see if I noticed. (So his name is not Jason then.... It Must be an alias. I wonder if these guys are some sort of gang or something).

"Im on my way out. I will drop your new barlady at home for you."

Andrew looked at me, and then back at Jason a few times before answering.

"Yes, thank you Jason,. That would be nice and she wont have to wait here later than necessary."

"Its Ok, I dont Mind waiting." I protested.

Jason gave me a smirkish smile.

"Come now Clarry. Lets get going."

I looked at Andrew Questioningly.

"Its Ok Clarry. Jason is a good friend. He wont hurt you. Off you go now. We will see you tomorow afternoon. Same time."

Well I had no choice did I.

" Ok. Thank you Andrew. Good night. Goodnight Dean. " Dean had a worried look on his face when he responded to my goodbyes. This didnt make me feel any better about Climbing in a car with a complete stranger. Not that I knew Dean any better, but we had atleast gotten to know each other a bit throughout the night. Not Like Jason. We had shared approximately 3 sentences. And he was creepy as..... And old, abandoned, haunted house.

Well I had no choice. Did I???

I followed Jason out the Old Pub to his car. It was a big camo painted 4x4 monster truck type vehicle which I had never seen before. Maybe he does vehicle rebuilds or something. He opened the passenger door for me. I tried to climbs in but i was just too short and my arm muscles are extremely under excersized and useless. Thats when Jason turned me around, grabbed me by the waist and lifted me into the vihicle like I weighed nothing at all. I was so shocked. I just stared at him. I could see his smirk as he closed the door and waked round to the drivers side.

When he climbed in the drivers side, he was still smirking. He stared at me for a while, those eyes making me feel like I was melting into a puddle.

"Darling, you look like you have seen a ghost, you ok?" He said with a laugh.

"Im fine. You just startled me is all. You lifted me like i weigh nothing."

"Honey, you do weigh next to nothing." he said "where to my lady.?"

"ah, um, Left out the parking and the pretty much straight from there." i said feeling wierd about his pet names. Darling, honey, my lady. It just felt a bit wierd. I dont know him fram a bar of soap.

"Thanks for the lift. You didnt have to though, i could have waited for Dean."

"Its OK. I dont mind. Besides, it didnt come without motives."

Oh HELL! Every hair on my body was standing on ends now!

"Wh-what do you mean, motives" I stuttered.

"No need to be scared" he said laughing again "i just wanted to get your number, and maybe ask you on a date."

Oh lord, he was looking at me expecting an answer and i dont know what to say.

"U-um, I dont even know you."

"Well then, lets not call it a date. Lets call it some get to know each other time. In a public place. We can go for a stroll in the park? What do you say?"

"Sure, ok."i said smilling at how sweet he made it sound.

"How about tomorrow, well, i guess its today already. I'll pick you up 2 hours before work and take you to work after?"

"ok, that sounds nice" i was secretly already looking firward to it. That and the look on Lisa's face when i get picked up by someone hotter than Andrew who she very openly drools over.

"It the first house on the right just after the next cross road."

He turned into the driveway, put the monster truck in park and walked around to open the door for me. I attempted to try climb down but he quickly grabbed me by the hips and set me down infront of him. He stood there holding me by the hips and staring down at me. My eyes were glued to his. I felt like I was in a trans staring up into his gorgeous eyes.

He bent his head and kissed my forehead. "Goodnight darling." he said stepping asside and allowing me out from between him and the Monster of a vehicle.

"Goodnight" I said "see you later" secretly I was hoping that the copious amounts of makeup were hiding my blood red cheeks that felt like they were on fire. Thank heavens my hair was loose and covering my ears.

I walked towards the front door and turned back to see him leaning up against the truck, arms folded and smiling from ear to ear. Damnit, he must have seen the blush. I smiled, a bit embarrassed and gave a little wave before going inside. I could hear his truck start and drive off. I stood against the door smiling like an i***t. Just then the light switched on and Lisa was staring at me.

"Who was that? Why are you smiling like an i***t? You have to tell me everything!"

She said with way too much excitement for someone who just woke up.

"Sorry, did I wake you?"

"No, not at all. I've been up all night. I just couldnt sleep. I knew that outfit would get you some attention but that guy was smoking. Oh my word. I nearly had to change my undies just looking at him." she is such a pervert sometimes.

"ok just let me have a shower and il tell you everything, and then I really have to sleep because we have to finish the room tomorrow and then I have a not a date ish thing."

"Ok, firstly ive been up all night and bored, so I thaught id suprise you..... The room is already done..... I hope you like it.... And secondly,.... What the hell is a not a date ish thing?" she asked, her elf like face all scrunched up in a bundle.

"Just let me shower first!" I said as i shut the door to the bathroom behind me.

I stood in the shower and images of Jason popped into my head and i found myself blushing and smiling again. Oh lord. Just a kiss to my forhead and he had me all hot and bothered. Phew. If he hadnt stepped aside for me to pass, I would have melted onto the pavement.

I pushed the thaughts aside, and quickly washed up.

I walked out the bathroom and Lisa was sitting on the bed waiting for me like a kid under the tree on Christmas morning.

I went through the events of the evening while towel drying may hair and she squeeled in excitement all the way through, sounding absolutely oblivious to any of the wierd events I mentioned. She just wanted the juicy bits.

"So did you ever finish counting your tips?"

"Actually, no, i got too distracted!" I said as she reminded me about my tips.

"Well get them out, lets see what you made!"

I opened the pouch I shoved it all into and emptied it onto the bed and we proceeded to count it.

"Oh my word u made three hundred and fifty bucks, how much do you think you slipped into Deans jar?"

" Im not 100% certain but must have been close to a hundred bucks?"

"GIRRRRRL! Next party, drinks are on you." Lisa said jokingly.

"Ok, ok. I need to get some sleep. I don't want dark rings around my eyes tomorrow.

" Agreed, besides, im exhausted, and you didnt even notice." she said with a pouty face.

" Oh my word Lisa im so sorry, i was so distracted i didnt even notice the room. It looks amazing. I love it!"

"I knew you would. Nighty night room mate!" she said with a smile from ear to ear.

"Nighty nite my bestie!"
