Shadows In Durango
Chapter 13
Chapter 13
*****Sofia's POV*****
As the night wore on, the VIP lounge gradually emptied out, leaving a hushed calm in place of the earlier chaos. My hands ached from mixing drinks and cleaning, but a sense of accomplishment filled me. I'd managed to survive my first shift despite the unexpected drama with Vincent.
I still couldn't believe that he of all people owned this place...
Glancing at the clock, I noticed it was nearing 2 AM. The bar was nearly spotless, and the last few patrons were making their way downstairs. I let out a sigh of relief, my body finally relaxing as I wiped down the bar one last time. Tito appeared at the top of the stairs, his face lighting up as he saw me - offering me a positive thumbs up to which I returned.
But before he could reach the bar to talk to me, Vincent intercepted him like a wild animal hunting down its prey.
I watched them exchange quiet words, Vincent's face a storm of anger and frustration as he pointed in my direction which caused me to gulp. Tito nodded, his expression unreadable, but his eyes flicked toward me with something akin to
reassurance.
My stomach twisted with anxiety. What was Vincent saying about me now? Was Tito going to fire me? He didn't look too pleased... but maybe that was just his face?
Before I could dwell on it, Daryl approached the bar. "You did a good job tonight, best cider that I've ever had poured!" he said, his voice a soothing balm to my frazzled nerves caused by Vincent's outburst. "Tito's a good guy. He'll look after you in here too." He adds, noticing the direction in which I stared in.
"Yeah I like him... and anyway, why do you all come down here for drinks? Haven't you ever been caught?" I replied, my voice soft.
"Vincent owns the place, so we can't really get caught sweetheart!" Daryl laughs, as I chew my lip to stifle a giggle.
On a school night too...
Daryl leaned against the bar, his eyes meeting mine with genuine concern. "It's really late," he said, glancing down at his watch. "Let me walk you home."
I hesitated, embarrassment suddenly washing over me. "It's fine, really," I insisted, trying to sound confident. The last thing I wanted was for him to see where I lived, to realise just how precarious my situation was.
