In The Blacklight ~Cashton~

Chapter 1

I sighed slightly as I finished painting the last thing on her back with an orange paint. The girl, who I would probably see the next night, paid me a five dollar tip and then went back out to the dance floor with her friends. Leaning back onto the bar, being careful of the paints, I looked around the club, glowing with colours. Then I felt a nudge on my shoulder, coming from behind the bar. "Hey Ash, how's it going so far?" My friend, Jenny asked. I smiled and spun around on the stool. "Well, I've got about twenty-five dollars so far, but that's about it," I answered. Jenny smiled at me, and set a drink down. "Here Ash, for you. I'll pay later." I smiled and took the drink, then spun back around so I was facing the dance floor, and prepared myself for the next customer.

I was about half done with my drink when the next customer came. To say he was hot was an understatement. Holy fuck this guy was.. just.. holy fuck. He sat down on the stool in front of me, and had already put a ten in the little jar I have for tips. I smiled lightly. "Anything specific you want?" I asked, like I always had to. He shook his head no. "Whatever you want," he said, smiling. "Okay then, you're gonna need to scoot a bit closer," I said to the brown-haired boy. He nodded and moved the barstool closer to me.

I took one of my clean paintbrushes and started to paint some designs on his shoulder and collarbone. One thing that I noticed about him was his abs. They were hard to miss, though, considering he was going shirtless. Another thing I noticed, about /me/ however, was the fact that I was being much more careful and delicate with his designs. I brushed it off as me drinking beforehand, though, and finished up what I was doing.

I pulled away from him and smiled. "All done," I said. He looked at his shoulder, and his jaw dropped slightly. "Woah... that's amazing!" He exclaimed. "Thanks, um," he said, kind of hesitating, and I realised I hadn't told him my name yet. "Ashton," I said, still smiling. He smiled as well. "Thanks Ashton," he said. "No problem, um," I said.

"Calum," he answered, and chuckled quietly. Then, he stood up, and put a five in the jar. My eyes widened slightly and I looked up at him. "Fifteen dollars?" I said with disbelief. He laughed and nodded. "Yeah, I mean, you did a great job." Then he looked at his phone, and then looked at me. "When do you think you could come hang out with me tonight?" He asked. I blushed, glad he wouldn't be able to see it because of the dark. "Well, I usually stop at around one, so then probably," I answered.

He smiled and grabbed his drink. "That leaves us two hours to hang. See you then Ash," he said, and winked at me before going back out to the dance floor. I smiled wide, and leaned back against the bar again, anxious for one o' clock to come around.
