~♤♡Everfall's Casino♢♧~

~~~~~~~~~~~♗Chapter 16♗~~~~~~~~~~~

"Right, yes, of course I knew that! I just meant that it's pretty warm in the casino y'know? After all, both of us have been running around."

"I suppose you are right, a drink would be nice thank you."

"So the plan now is to grab a drink then see the load?"

"Ding ding ding, you're very much correct dear Jaza."

'Dear?' That's it, my brain? Dead. Fried if you will.

"Jaza?" 'Great, who the hell interrupted us now?' I rip my gaze from Amara to see Chubby walking over to us.

"Uh, Chubby hey, you good?"

"Um, yeah, just telling you to get ready soon the guest is coming at 8:00" Chubby pauses for a brief second her eyes darting between us "Am I interrupting you two?" She asks innocently 'Sly bitch'

"Nah, you weren't interrupting much!" When I really wanted to say 'Yes, you did fucker, shift.'

"Oh good it would be such a shame if I did. Hello Amara, apologise for not greeting you sooner!"

"Oh it's quite alright! Greetings to you as well." She politely waves her hands dismissing Chubby's rudeness.

"Well I best be going now I have things to... prepare." Her voice drops cold at the last part and a small shadow seems to loom over her face before returning to a warm smile. She started walking past us and we continued our trek to the centre area.

I glance back at Chubby who's giving me a smug smirk and is holding a placard with the word 'Simp~' written in neat cursive. First off where the hell did she get that from and secondly I wish I could punch her in the face right now, first Miracle's and now Chubby's. Great! Who's next? Rainbow? Actually no I probably shouldn't say that.

Finally arriving at the main area we make our way through the busy crowds, my eyes glance towards the clock hanging up at the bar at 7:30. I've got 30 minutes to spend more time with Amara until this 'special guest' arrives, I wonder if they're a target? Probably not otherwise Chip wouldn't spend time with them personally; it's not something he just does. Unless...

"Jaza, may I have the menu?" Amara gently taps my shoulder, saving me from my busy mind once again.

I give her a small smile nod and go behind the bar and pull out the leather covered menu, golden ink sparkling slightly against the casino's blaring lights. Amara's warm hands touched mine briefly, taking the menu out of my grasp, soon the menu and her hands left me and I desperately tried not to grab them.

'Is the air conditioning working properly?' I thought to myself.

She hums and her eyes dart from word to word "You know what, surprise me!" She hands the menu back to me.

"Surprise you?"

"Yep, pick out a drink for me, your favourite or make something completely new!"

"Uh, are you sure?" She egrely nods "Okay then but if you don't like it don't blame me!" I give a grin before turning around pulling out different ingredients 'Lemons, raspberry sauce, lime, vodka, martini, sugar, salt, mint...' I was going to make her a previous favourite and a pretty good success, my infamous 'lemon raspberry vodka martini' or 'L.R.V.M' for short.

After making the actual drink, a round slice of lemon, cut it to the middle and stick it on the ledge of the glass. You know, for presentation? I slide the drink over to her and grab a coaster. I grab the drink, tossing it up only to hear a slightly panicked gasp coming from her, but I've done this plenty of times. It's become a part of my job to do this to entertain the guests and get them to stay a while longer.
