Miles’s P.O.V
“Watch yourself gorgeous,” I said as Layla nearly ran into me.
“Sorry and stop calling me that.” She said trying to sound annoyed but there was also a small smirk playing on her lips.
My first shift had been going well and the customers seemed to like me, had been giving a few phone numbers already, probably wouldn’t use them but will hold onto them anyway.
“Why? You like when I call you that.” I said smirking.
“Go and f**k yourself, Miles.” She groaned pushing by me.
I had been having fun teasing her all night. I don’t usually go after girls who have boyfriends, not my style but she was just damn gorgeous I couldn’t help myself. She was also confident and feisty which made me even more attracted to her.
“That is no fun…” I laughed getting back to work.
I was attracted to her the moment I walked in and seen her, she was attracted to me too, that was obvious with the way she responded when she saw me. I know I should stop because in a way she is my boss and I don’t want to end up getting fired. I headed over to a couple of girls that were waiting to get served.
“Hello, Ladies what can I get you both?” I said flashing my smile at them.
“You would be nice.” The blonde one giggled “But we will take two s*x on the beach cocktails please.” She added.
“Coming right up.” I chuckled going to make their drinks for them.
“Well, aren’t you popular?” Layla laughed appearing next to me.
“What can I say the women seem to like me.” I chuckled “I can’t help the women love me.” I added winking.
She rolled her eyes, shaking her head and laughed at me,
“Well aren’t you a cocky fuck.” She said
“Hey, just telling the truth.” I shrugged.
She gave her eyes another roll before grabbing the drinks she was making, heading off. I chuckled to myself as she walked away and got back to making the drinks for the girls. I headed back over, and they were whispering and giggling, clearly talking about me by the way they were watching me.
“You drink ladies, that will be Ten Dollars please.” I smiled
“Here you go, give me a call sometime.” The blonde said handing me her number along with the cash before they walked away.
I smirked, slipping it into my pocket with the rest of them, think that is the sixth phone number I have been given tonight. I got back to serving other customers, my eyes falling on Layla from time to time, she was so sexy with those damn curves. I will need to try behaving myself but that is gonna be easier said than done when it comes to her. I know her having a boyfriend should be enough for me to back off and usually, it is, but something tells me this time that isn’t gonna be enough.

It was One A.M. and the bar was closed, everyone was away home except Layla and me, we were on cleaning and closing duty.
“How was your first shift?” She asked as we cleaned “The ladies sure like you, knew they would.” She added laughing.
“Yes, it was a good shift.” I smiled “You did uh? How did you know that?” I added smirking.
“Don’t get all cocky OK but come on no one can deny you are a good looking, charming guy.” She said
“I knew that you were attracted to me.” I winked
“Oh God, shut up…” she said tossing the cleaning rag she had at me.
I laughed loudly, throwing it back at her. She flipped me off before getting back to cleaning up. It only took an hour to be done cause there were only certain things we had to cause cleaners would come in, in the morning.
“I think that is us done for the night.” She smiled
“Good, I can call a cab then cause I made the stupid decision to walk here this afternoon, not thinking about getting back home.” I laughed.
“You want a lift home? I have my car cause you will be lucky to get a cab at this time with all the drunken people getting home.” She laughed
“Sure, if you don’t mind,” I said.
I told her where I stayed which just happened to be on her road home anyway which worked out well for both of us. We double-checked everything was done, the money safely locked up before heading out and locking up behind us. She nodded in the direction we were going to her car and I followed her over to where she was parked, both climbing in. It was about a twenty-minute drive to mine. That gave me time to ask some questions.
“How long have you been with your boyfriend?” I asked
“Three years.” She said, “What about you, do you have someone?” she added
“No, single, prefer it that way. Was in a relationship at one point and I swore to myself I would never get into one again because it ended in disasters and was a waste of time in the end.” I said shrugging
“Maybe not the right person, that is why it never worked.” She said
“Maybe but I got enough heartache to last a lifetime don’t need any more thank you very much.” I laughed
“Never say never, Miles. What age are you?” She asked
“Twenty-five why?” I asked
“You are a little young to give up already are you not?” she asked
“Nope, trust me my ex was enough to put me off women for life, well getting into relationships with them anyway.” I said, “What age were you when you got with your boyfriend?” I added curiously
“Twenty-five.” She said
Which made her what now? Twenty-eight? Mmm, she was older than me, only by a few years but that just made this more interested.
“Is your boyfriend the same age as you?” I asked.
I was trying to work out if she preferred them younger or older without having to ask the actual question.
“No, he is thirty-six.” She said.
Hmm, an older man then? But hey meant less competition for me cause I was sort of in my prime right now, he was older which personally I think will make him boring, but I could be wrong.
“Like them older then uh?” I asked
“You are very nosy you, aren’t you?” she laughed “Yes you could say that, less drama that way.” She added shrugging.
“Maybe but you went for a younger man you would probably have more fun,” I said smirking.
She completely brushed off what I said to her and it made me think did what I say hit close to home? I rested back on the seat, curious now. I may need to find out some more about her relationship.
“Not commenting on that uh?” I asked after a few minutes of silence.
“No, I am not…” She laughed “You are something else, aren’t you?” she added shaking her head.
“I am that you should probably get used to it,” I smirked.
We pulled up outside my apartment.
“See you tomorrow, maybe learn how to behave yourself.” She said
“I can’t make any promises.” I said, “Thanks for the lift, see you tomorrow gorgeous.” I added climbing out and closing the door before she could say anything else.
I think my new job was gonna be fun especially with her around.
