Nate liked his life. He had his own little apartment down town, he had enough money to get by, he didn’t have much of a social life but that didn’t bother him much. The only thing that kept his mind of his brother, Sam was his work.

Nate worked in a pretty classy bar a few blocks from his apartment. Lost of rich girls willing to spend daddy’s money and older gentleman willing to spend a small fortune on a single glass of scotch.

He had a gift for swinging drinks, he understood the science of cocktails and it came like second nature. Plus, he could use his other skills to take little fortunes of his own. Drunk girls needed a lighter, he could snag a few bracelets, things like that.

“Drake, you’re with the trainee.” His boss called the moment Nathan came up from the level below the bar, a crate of cool glass bottles in his hand.

He didn’t care for training. Most of the people who start at his job are either already pro’s or newly college graduates who are only there for a free drink at the end of the night.

but he’s surprised when he sees a girl standing behind the bar, nose deep in the drinks menu in an attempt to memorise all the drinks. She wore the uniform a little messily, the button up shirt a little uneven, the vest was a little too big. She looked…nervous. That’s new.

“You must be {{user}}.” Nate smiles as he reaches her, already sensing the nervous energy. Good, she’s not cocky like the others.

“Hi.” The girl greets.

Nate reaches out and adjusts her vest, not wanting her to get in trouble for the unprofessional look on her first day. Maybe this wouldn’t be so bad afterall.
