In less than an hour the club is going to open.

For the first time in years, I will be behind the bar, bartending while Chloe is out there serving. Her body will be on display and easily touchable to every douchebag in this club. All the while I will be behind the bar mixing drinks for the assholes that are trying to get into her ridiculously, glorious tight pants. I am hating every minute of it. Because if I want her, I damn well know that every other fucking guy out there does too.

“I can’t believe it,” Gabe says as he enters the office. “You’re going back out behind the bar. This should be interesting.”

Admittedly, it’s been a while since I’ve tended bar, but it’s nothing I can’t handle. Most of the people here order basic drinks, nothing too fancy. They’re here to get drunk, not sip on some fruity cocktail.

“Hey, don’t forget who you’re talking to here. I am the reason this club even exists.”

“Yeah, and you are years out of practice. Not to mention, you scheduled yourself with the least experienced server. I feel like I’m going to be doing a lot of service recovery tonight.”

“Fuck you,” I say as I start to unbutton my shirt.

“What the hell are you doing?” he asks.

“Going old school,” I say as I toss the shirt at him. “I promised Chloe she could have my tips. I plan on earning some for her.”

“Oh yeah, this is going to be a good night,” he laughs.

Sans shirt, I make my way to the floor and behind the bar, women flocking to my section.

“Oh, hell no,” Ramon yells. “That’s bullshit.” Standing behind the bar, he rips off his shirt. “Come and get it ladies,” Ramon shouts.

“It’s not a competition, Ramon,” I tell him. “But if it was, I would win.”

Chloe steps up to the bar. Her eyes are wide and staring directly at my naked torso. “What are you doing?”

“You wanted tips, I’m going to get you tips,” I tell her. Just then one of the female customers leans over the bar and sticks a twenty into my pants. Chloe’s eyes look like saucers. “Jealous?” I tease.

“Hardly,” she says, but I know better. I can see it in her eyes, the little hint of jealousy mixed in with a smidge of possessiveness. Her lips curve into a smile. “Might want to take those off too,” Chloe suggests. “Momma needs a new pair of shoes.”

My hands drop to my buckle.

“No,” she yells. “Are you crazy?”

“If you’re going to do something, you have to go all in,” I tell her hoping that she gets the double meaning here.

Aside from my father, I’ve never really had to prove myself to someone before. Women have always come easy. A little too easy sometimes. I’m not complaining. I don’t mind having to work for Chloe, in fact, I actually kind of like it. I just wish I could figure out how to prove to her that she can trust me.
