It's already the third day for gifts, you wondered what to write and possibly make or get to him today. You were so excited to get to work with the man you've crushed on from afar for so long. It's close to 9, you decided to be a bit early to get the gist of everything that's to be done. After getting your wig and full on disguise on perfectly you then get into your car and drive to work only when you finally arrived no one was there, you walked up the steps of the bar and noticed the door was unlocked. You walk in and see that nobody is here but you hear minor sounds of shuffling and glass clanking. You head to the back of the bar and see Clyde, your handsome but interesting new boss...and he's shirtless in front of the sink.

Oh..lord..Jesus take the wheel!

Not the Time woman!

Right..breathe

You clear your throat and Clyde turns around to see you and shyly looks down at the sink clearly surprised to see you and without his shirt on. You look in front of him and see that he was washing his shirt in the sink.

"S'cuse me (fake name), I was fixin up the drinks and this here drink spilt all over me. So I had to wash it out. Didn't think you was an early bird" he explains as he points to the almost empty bottle of alcohol. You couldn't help but stare at his back and chest as he spoke though.

"R-right, s-sorry I just wanted to be early to get the gist of what to do before the bar opened." You say nervously. You don't see it but he smiles a bit at your efforts.

"Well then the most You is to do is clean the glasses and dry them off, place them on this here tray and refill the bar if you see me runnin low" he points to the tray and where the towel is and then out to the bar where he would be all day. You nod as you listen to him.

"Got it!" You salute but accidentally poke your eye with your finger causing you to cry in the eye you hit.

"Ouch" You screech slightly as you hold your eye as if it's about to fall out. Clyde was quick to reach out to you and gently tug your hand away to see if you needed to go to the doctor or not.

You stared into his eyes for a while as he examined yours. He himself was getting lost in your gaze but forced himself to focus on the task at hand, making sure you were okay. Luckily (or unluckily) you didn't need Clyde to care for your eye much but even after he was done checking he didn't pull away from you. You both stare into each other's eyes with such caring and something more, you both couldn't quite understand it much when slowly you decided to lean into him..

"Ay little brother, your customers be barking at me if you don't give em their drinks soon" jimmy bursted in. You lean away from his arms only to suddenly trip on your shoelace and land on your bum so hard you held your breath to hold your childlike scream.

"Woah there little lady did I ruin a moment here?" Jimmy chuckled but offered you a hand. You were so Red but kindly took his offer, clyde felt a slight tinge of pain in his chest as he watched. He didn't understand the feeling but you seemed familiar somehow, to someone he met a long time ago but couldn't forget.

"NO! A-absolutely not! No moment!" You laugh nervously as you shift uncomfortably. Jimmy chuckles again while Clyde looks away nervously.

"I'm Jimmy, Clyde's older brother what's your name miss?" He still holds onto your hand. Clyde looks at this and looks away again.

"Name's (fake name), how do you do sir?" You shake his hand firmly to show you mean well.

"Jimmy is fine. You new here?"

"Yup, just got out of college and Mr. Logan here hired me to clean the glasses"

"Huh, well you sure will bring some customers around little lady" you felt he meant well but your inner demons said otherwise.

He means your so chubby you'll bring customers in to laugh at the freak cleaning.

Will you shut up and leave me alone you're pestering me. I don't care what they think, they aren't who I'm trying to impress.

Like as if he'd go for you.

And there you felt the sting in your chest, You felt her words to be somewhat true. But what was that moment a few mins ago..

Shi* I almost kissed my boss!!!

"T-thanks, I'll be sure to work my hardest while I'm here" you say as your face changes darker and darker as you realized what you had almost done.

"Excuse me Jimmy but I must be starting my work. It was nice to meet you." Before anyone would speak, You head out to the front and start by looking around trying to find any dirty glasses that could be nerd of cleaning. One problem..

The bar barely opened you nut job.

Crap..

I know that!

Liar, Clyde's been with you before opening so no glasses to clean girly.

Well I had to get out somehow!

Well I say go back to mr Jimmy and jump his hotness.

No way he's not the one I want.. you say to your demon as you look at your feet.

"Um (fake name) are ya alright?" You look up and see Clyde looking down at you in concern. His eyes were almost like the stars you saw at night where you lived, so beautiful yet captivating you could look at them for hours.

"Yeah I'm alright sir, thank you for being concerned. Now where do I start?" You try to remain calm and not too foreword by calling him by his name. He tensed a bit when you called him sir but not his brother ,but he shrugged it off.

" you can come around the bar and pick up the empty glass and come back" he had one other girl getting drinks for the bar folk so you just needed to gather the empty ones while she got them new ones.

-Few hours later-

You start by going table by table grabbing the glasses and placing them on your tray but one was difficult to reach so you had to put more effort to get to it for the grabs. A group of young men arrived around the time you are leaning trying to reach the glass at the far end of the table. The men stare at your bum without you noticing, but Clyde notices and keeps a close watch on you. Before the men would be any closer to you, you finally got a hold of the glass and leaned back up again leaving them to step back a bit.

"Scuse me gentlemen. Have a seat" you notice them behind you and show them to the table as you walk away to clean the glasses you got. You overheard some of the men snickering but continued onwards to washing and drying. The lady went around gathering the orders for the men, no one tried to touch her up she had a reputation of causing some injuries here and there so Clyde had hardly anything to worry about for her. The men on the other hand wouldn't stop pointing at you, laughing and making dirty gestures about your body that he found very unnerving. As you walked around the bar to grab the dirty glasses and clean them then back again, the men once again attempted to have you to their table. Instead Clyde left the bar and grabbed their glasses for you leaving the men appearing angry and annoyed.

"Either you hounds leave my girl alone or I'm gonna have to throw y'all out of my bar" clyde sneered in a low voice. The men chuckled but nodded as if they understood.

As Clyde walks away he realized he called you his girl and it felt strangely good to say, he's back at the bar and looks at you. Sweat running down your forehead from walking around so much and several dirty glasses on your tray but no matter how tired you got you kept smiling at his customers.

You went into the back of the room where the sink was (also the scene of the crime)

"How could I have been so crazy! I tried to practically molest my boss! Ugh!" you would blush remembering how you tried to kiss Clyde.

"I've just gotta work hard, learn more about him and give him a gift everyday until Valentine's Day.. it's not that long away right?" You ask yourself as you scrub the glasses with soap. Suddenly you wondered what your next gift today could be.

Maybe I can get him something nice?

But how? I work all day til closing..

But..I could make something!

How?! There's nothing here but alcohol and I don't want to get him drunk.

But through a man's heart is through his stomach girl

Evil voice begone! I do not want to kill his liver. I'd like him alive and well thank you.

Suddenly you saw some supplies you can cook with. You look around quickly to find a electric stove and plug it in, then find some bacon in the fridge you somehow found when looking around the place earlier. Before you got to working on your next gift you snuck your head out to see if Clyde needed more glasses, but so far he didn't.

"Thank goodness" you sigh and head back inside. But before you started to cook you suddenly forgot.

But how can a secret admirer know his favorite food!  That's a definite stalker! I can't give him bacon!

You could just leave him a poem saying you got something juicier than bacon to bite on ;)

Maybe I could write tha- NO! Bad voice NO

Your evil voice laughed at you, being a virgin sucked sometimes. But what gift can you make? Instead you decided to just write him another poem and drawing a picture of burnt bacon.

Drawing it seems better I mean who doesn't draw bacon??

Everyone except you

No one asked you go away.

You happily write your poem to Clyde on a special paper you saved just for his gifts, it said:

Roses are red violets are blue
I hope you like bacon cause I like you

-secret admirer

AGH! Too soon to say I like him! Delete delete!

You can't delete pen doofus

After attempting another note, you then  ripped up the note and threw it in the trash bin outside. Helping with the glass again and by the end of the night Clyde opened yet another note from his secret admirer saying:

Roses are red bacon is too
You're one of a kind and mean that, it's true.

-secret admirer

Little did you know Clyde looked forward to the notes more than the gifts. They kept surprising him more and more about his admirer but Little did he know, she was closer than he knows.

-Authors note
Warning, I only guessed how they clean the glasses in a bar so plz don't judge. I never go to bars much. But I tried my best. Also will the men be back? Will Clyde find out?? Next chapter coming! Don't steal my story!
