Chapter Eight

Shea followed Milo into the bar on Monday at mid morning. She felt nervous, but she was also excited. She wanted to move on with a new life, to become the woman she used to be before she let Alex ruin it all for her. She would finally meet new people and have a job. She clasped her hands together in front of her as they walked in, unsure of what she would see or who would be there. He brought her to the office in the back and took out several forms for her to fill out.

“The other three should be here within ten minutes. Go ahead and come out to the bar when you’re done and I’ll introduce you.”

She swallowed and nodded.

He left her alone and she hurried to fill out the paperwork. She didn’t particularly want to be in there alone. When she made her way to the front of the house, she found two men and a woman. The woman had extremely long lavender hair and piercings, one of the men had light brown hair cut into a fade, long on top and cut high. His arms were covered in tattoo sleeves. The last guy was tall with a mop of curly blond hair. They all looked up as she walked over to the bar.

“Everybody, this is Shea. She’s joining us for lessons and tonight will be her first night behind the bar. We’re going to give her easy tasks such as taking orders and delivering drinks until she learns a few things, okay?”

They each greeted her, and Shea gave a little wave as a blush took over her cheeks.

“Shea, this is Nora, Cooper, and Ryder.”

Nora waved her over, so she went to stand near her. “I suck at anything that requires coordination, so don’t feel bad if you don’t catch on right away.”

“That’s nice of you to say.”

Milo began with a few basics for Nora and Shea, giving the men a more advanced technique to practice. To her surprise, Shea had no trouble catching the bottles when they were empty.

“Keep that up and we’ll move to full bottles to see how you do with the weight,” Milo said.

She blushed darker, pleased that she was decent.

“Figures,” Nora muttered as she dropped her bottle for the fifth time.

The hours sped by as Shea attempted to flip and catch bottle after bottle. She hadn’t mastered anything fancy by the end of the session, but she was at least able to catch them without dropping them ninety percent of the time. After the others left, Milo and Shea stayed to go over the cash register and inventory.

“Here’s the list of what we serve,” he said, handing her a small, laminated menu. “Most customers know what they want without looking at it, but it doesn’t hurt to have this in your apron pocket. If they order something that sounds out there and you’re not sure we make it, check the menu. I can make pretty much anything, but we might not have the ingredients for the fancier drinks.
