- ` One Way Or Another !

[MANDY ALLI MATTHEWS]

It was starting to turn out to be a long night at work. The bar was pack, it was karaoke night, and no one could sing. Leaving Mandy some what cranky. Not to mention that the day it self had been long enough on its own. Mandy had the distinct pleasure of of going to the high school to bail her sister out of trouble. Meaning she was the one yelled at. Something Mandy really didn't like. She didn't like waisting her time hearing how she was a bad example and how she needed to be a better parent to her sister. The truth was Mandy didn't want to be a parent. Thats why she let her sister do what ever she wanted for the most part. Mandy felt that her sister had to learn life the hard way. The same way she her self learned how do deal with things. Granted her sister wasn't as good at staying out of trouble as she was. But Mandy still felt no need to change her ways. Plus there wasn't much time in her life, so there wasn't much that could be changed.

But none of this was any different than most nights at work. What was different was that one of her co workers wasn't there. Tonight he didn't have a shift for another few hours. Leaving Mandy alone except for the new guy, who was useless since he could never remember how to make a drink correctly. Mandy was starting to get on her last nerv. She knew that she was going to be this way till she got some. But she didnt spy any one worth doing in the bar tonight. Meaning she was probably going to have to go home alone, which sucked. It wasnt like she worked for the money, she worked more to pick up guys and have something to do. But sometimes she felt it wasnt even worth it.

Leaning over the counter, talking to one of the customers, Mandy listened to the girl up on the stage. Making a snicker she spoke to the man. "Man she sounds horrible. I could so out do her." Mandy said with a wink, before stepping away from the counter and starting to make the man another drink as he laughed. But as she started to make the man his glass, he spoke. "Really. Well I would like to see that. How about you have a go little Missy. Theres an extra tip in it for you babe." The man said with a wink. Placing his drink down on the bar Mandy smiled. "Yea but who would keep refilling your drink." She said with a smile. Mandy had a hard time flirting with some of the guys that came in. Some were easier than others yes. But when it came to the older ones, Mandy just got a bit disgusted. But she never showed it. If she played along, she would get more tips. She flipping her hair she listened as the man spoke again, "Ah my drink can wait. Go up there." Mandy stood there for a moment before sighing and making her way from behind the counter.

As Mandy started to make her way to the small stage, the guy hit her ass. She made face of discuss before turning around and giving him a smile. What else could she do? She needed the good tips. With one last look at the costumers in the bar, Mandy stepped on stage and took the Mic. "Normally I don't do this." She started to say. "But it was requested by one of out lovely men." She said with a wink. Just then the music started and Mandy started to sing. The song that started to play was One Way Or Another by Blondie. Which was fine. It seemed to fit Mandy more than some of the other songs that could have come on. With that Mandy started to sing and dance around the stage, putting on a nice little show for the guys. Yes Mandy could get a little out of hand, but that was her personality. Plus when it came to more of a chance for better tips, the more of of hand she got.

Wasn't long before the song was over and Mandy was taking her bow. The whole bar clapping as she did so. "Thank you, thank you. I'm here all week." She said with a smile as she stepped off the stage. As she did she noticed Jay was in the back of the bar making a face her. It seemed like he was half laughing, but Mandy couldn't tell. She didn't even want to know, since she knew she had just made a fool of her self. Making her way to the counter, as quick as she could. She spoke to the other bartender. "Ill be in the back getting more vodka." She said before she all but ran into the back. With a sign she started to dig through the box's. She couldn't believe that she has just made such a fool of her self and in front of Jay. She knew that this meant that she was going to be made fun of for the rest of the week. Normally she wouldnt care, but she hated the guy. They never got along and this was just one more thing he could rag on her about. But with a sign, and box in hand, Mandy started to make her way out of the back room and back to the bar.

Like Mandy's day was long, so was Jayden's. The only difference was it was his whole week and he was thankful that it was Thursday and that tomorrow he would be able to see his daughter. Of course his ex, Jacqueline made sure he only got her Friday ngiht to Sunday, but he could live with it.. For now. The whole thing killed him and he really wanted to see his kid more, the only times he could is if Jasmine couldn't sleep and she wanted to see him. When that happened, he spent the night, sleeping next to his daughter. At least Jackie wasn't a complete bitch and she gave Jayden that much, but that didn't mean he still didn't want to kill her. Jayden was a hitman and he was still being put through various things by the mafia, but he was pretty much in. He knew how to kill, he's done it before and he could make it look like suicide, but he couldn't do that. He wouldn't do that to Jasmine and he knew in the end, he wouldn't get her. Deep down the man still loved Jackie and he knew he couldn't deny it. Hell, why else would he still be fucking her and wearing the padlock she had given him?

His thoughts melted away like ice as he took a drag of his cancer stick, feeling slightly calmed. Things with the Russian Mafia was getting tougher, but it was nothing Jay couldn't handle. Everything he had been through with them this week thought was taking a toll on his body and school with various fights with Jackie didn't help either. He needed to wind down tonight, which was part of the reason why he was at the bar tonight. He need several drinks, but he also needed the body of Mandy. Sure, he had a girlfriend and she was great, but he didn't love her. The only woman he loved was the same woman that he hated with a passion; Jacqueline. But Mandy? Hell, she was hot, had a great body.. He needed to have her for himself, at least in bed. Sure, the girl was annoying and he hated her, too, but it made for great sex.

Leaning back in his seat, he took a deep breath and looked down at his whiskey; empty. Grumbling, he forced himself up and got another from one of the tenders, passing Mandy. He said nothing to her, but he listened to her try to flirt with some man. He had to admit it bothered him, especially when me smacked her ass. Mandy wasn't officially his, but she was one of his girls; at least in his mind. No one could do that to them, but he didn't say anything to the man. He didn't feel like getting into a stupid fight over a woman who isn't worth fighting for. She was used up in his mind and an STD waiting to happen, but that was his germophobe side talking. Getting the whiskey, he thanked the new kid and went back to his seat, rubbing his emerald eyes. Lifting the glass he took a sip, watching Mandy get her ass on stage. Was she really going to sing? The last few people were bad enough and he didn't want to have to suffer through her. Shaking his head, he took a long drag of his cigarette, letting it come out through his nostrils.

As Jayden took a deep breath, he was almost preparing himself for another terrible voice. Part of him wanted to go on stage and show the others how to sing, but he didn't feel like it. With his luck he'd get a Spice Girl song and not Guns N' Roses, Metallica or anything of the like. Listening to the music start, he watched Mandy sing and felt himself smirk. The song did suit her and it amused him greatly. Shifting in his seat, he watched her dance and get a bit out of hand; it was like her. She wasn't exactly this shy kid and she was way out there. He was almost sure if someone gave her an hundred dollar bill to flash them, she would. That wasn't his business though and he wasn't sure entirely why he was a bit harsh when it came to her. It was probably because she was nothing but a whore and he hoped his daughter would never be like her. If Jasmine did turn out like Mandy, he's make sure she'd never get out of the house.

Rubbing his temples, Jay took one last drag of his cigarette before putting it out and finished his whiskey. He was about to get up and get more, but he saw Mandy heading towards the back. Smirking a bit, he stood up and followed after her. Going behind the door, he put his hand on her shoulder, "Hey Sugar." He smirked a bit as he looked down at her. "I didn't know you could sing.." He muttered, leaning against the door, arms crossed. "You weren't that bad, better than the other dumb fucks out there." He grunted and fiddled with his sid padlock that Jackie gave him. "What time do you get off?" His right brow rose. He intended to get some from her that night and if he was lucky, he might.
