It was one of the rainy nights when I returned to Azura Nightclub. I tried to cover my body in a black blazer that I was wearing, but it was pointless when the cold breeze met my pale skin. I quickly locked my car and ran to the backdoor of the building. 

I wanted to make sure that today would go without any major difficulties. Even though this night was supposed to be my day off. But I just couldn't sit around at my apartment. 

I entered through the staff entrance and felt much better when the warm air surrounded my at this point cold body. 

”Hey, Sue! What are you doing here? " Diana approached me and gave me a scolding look.
“You know me I couldn't leave you two alone," I smirked at her and pointed to Isabella, who joined our team just two months ago as the new manager assistant. So far, I couldn't put my finger on her persona, but from her Instagram, I assumed that she was a very outgoing person.

“Hey Susan, it's so nice that you came here to help us." She said politely and went to the basement to get a fuselage of beer.
“So how is it going so far?" I nervously asked. Diana and reached for some clout on the shelf. The first thing that I've learned from being a manager in a Nightclub, was that everything in the main room gets sticky in a matter of a few seconds. Therefore, having clean clout stuck in your pants was the most essential thing, so you could wipe off the surfaces right away while crossing them.

”Don't worry so much about the guests, Sue. But for your info, it looks like it's going to be a busy night." Diana spoke behind my back and went for the clean glasses, so she could deliver them back to the bar. She tried to open the staff door, but they only made a scary creak sound and didn’t move at all. She kicked them with her sneakers and started swearing in Dutch.

I had to smile for myself. I loved how could Diana's furious Dutch character brighten the whole room. I imagined how she would complain the next day to our handyman about the staff doors.

I liked Diana from the start when she was training me for the managerial position. After a few months, we grew into each other and became good friends even out of our work lives. I was surprised when Diana told me that she is 5 years older than me. But our age gap hasn’t changed anything between us. To me, Diana was Jing to my Jang. I know it sounds so cliché, but she was the exact complete opposite to me. However, we shared one thing and that was our bossy behavior at work. I had to admit, that kind of trait drove us to small disagreements in the past, but in the end, we managed to solve it and continue with the hard work.

Isabell’s groans pulled me out of my thinking, and I quickly ran down to the basement to help her with the beer cask.

“I’m starting to think that I will never get used to how heavy this is.” She frowned from the exhaust, and I laughed at it.
”Well consider this as an arm day in a gym.” I took the cask with my two hands, and I moved towards the bar. I saw her surprised look when I moved a heavy cask so easily. Well after all I worked here already 2 years.
“Isabelle, could you then take clean wipes to the bar for me?” I yelled at her from the front and as a result, I got a quick yes as an answer.

Where is Rasmus? I think angrily because even my strength wasn’t enough for carrying such a heavy cask. I noticed a blond guy behind the bar giving a show to our female customers and I shook my head in disbelief. Even though Ramus was the most reliable barman we had at the nightclub he had a small flaw. He always tried his best to get some girl to his bed. That’s why I always had to keep him busy.

“Isabelle and I can’t handle these casks of beer that much. Would you please then go and help her with it?” I asked Rasmus and he nodded in my direction. For that time I overtook his tasks and started mixing drinks.

I scanned the number of people in the club, and I nodded to myself with satisfaction. Today looked really promising, just as Diana said. I served a few more drinks in the rush, till Isabelle finally appeared with Rasmus. She had a friendly smile on her face and I scoff at how obvious Rasmus’s play was. 

I put one glass of beer on the counter when from the darkness of a nightclub appears a girl. Her black hair was merging in the darkroom, while her face was glowing with sparkling blue eyes. She quickly realized that she got my attention and gave me a bratty smile. 

I felt how my blood was rushing through my body faster than before and how my arms just froze on the sticky counter. Fuck. I return back to reality when Rasmus appears next to my right arm.

“Tak, Susan,” Rasmus smirks at me and I give him a fake smile. Like I don’t know what are his intentions. I left the bar and tried to get back to the staff room when I recognized the girl in the middle of the room dancing while keeping eye contact with me. I watch her hand sliding around her waist up to her breasts, slowly copying the shape of her curves. She ends up the dance move with her hand over her throat, while pulling her head back and showing her jawline to me. Is she teasing me? I suddenly feel so weirded out by the moment. I’m not sure how to explain this. I don’t want to misunderstand things. But then I look at her one more time. Our eyes connect through the room full of people drowning in sweat and my heart drops somewhere down to my stomach. Uh, oh. I hardly swallow and my body stops in the middle of the way to the staff entrance.

I had no explanation for what was happening right now. And besides that my body started moving towards the girl. My heart climbs up back to my chest and starts beating like crazy, filling my veins with adrenalin. Suddenly I want to kiss this mysterious girl, wrap my hand around her throat and hold her like that for a minute while looking deeply into her sparkling blue eyes.

I wonder what would actually happen if I did it. I wanted to see her reaction. Would she like it and ask for more? I felt the warmth of my thoughts on my face.
