“Coht up”

They slide their IDs and cash for the drinks across the bar, and I take both, sliding the IDs back with their drinks I’ to serve the next customer when a hand falls on my shoulder It’s Brennan, my head bartender “Get out of here, boss”

I give hi? I can’t leave with this kind of crowd here We’re already drowning”

He shakes his head and rolls his eyes “We all know you’ve been planning to take a few days off, and I don’t think you’ve actually taken a day off since this place opened”

“I have”

“Holidays don’t count”

I sigh, glaring at him “You can’t kick me out Brennan, I’m your boss”

He laughs and slaps et the hell out of here Boss We got this”

I’m about to protest that the trip can wait, and that maybe this isn’t the best time to take a vacation when Leah, another bartender, turns around and points to the door “Go Get the fuck out and enjoy your birthday vacation”

I laugh, “Fine, I’ll go Please call ”

It’s Leah’s turn to roll her eyes “Sure”

I make my way behind the rest of the bartenders to the exit The bar is in the center of First Shot and it’s circular That was an i it, to be equidistant from every part of the bar I’ve found that people are ht their way all the way across a crowded rooood for business
