No matter how many under-the-desk shifts that Eva had at the Edge, none of the ones previous to her the one he was working currently prepared for the hectic chaos that had been happening in just the first hour of her shift. On top of going back and forth to serving sweaty customer after sweaty customer, she was also dragged onto the dancefloor by some of those customers. They were quite handsy and insistent that ‘the cute blonde girl’ dance with them. As much as every fiber in her being was telling her to say no, Eva was the sort of young woman who, by no fault of her own, simply couldn’t. When it came down to it, she was a people pleaser.

Thankfully, some other attractive woman, one who caught the eye of her over-friendly customer, drew the attention away from her just in time for Eva to head back to the bar. 

“Two shots for my friend and I.”

Never had Eva been so happy to serve customers from the safety of the bar. [color=f4a460]“Coming right up!”[/color] Cheerfully, Eva gave the elder male and what seemed like his brother with a smile, getting two shots of top-shelf tequila lined up in a row. 

And then more rounds went flying from bottle to glass to mouth, Eva’s sole thought was how expensive this would be on the man’s credit card when the night was over. She honestly felt bad. Part of her wanted to inform him of the price, but at the same time, five percent of the total profits went into her pockets, so she found herself conflicted. What to do, what to do?

She turned around, looking to her co-worker, Ashton. [color=f4a460]“Should I tell that guy he’s drinking over 5k’s worth of tequila?”[/color]

“Your call, but that’s 250 bucks you won’t be seeing if you do.”

He had a point. And as she thought about it some more, like really thought about it, in the end, she did need that money. So, she opted to let him drink away his money, though Eva felt really horrible about it. What if that money was something that guy really needed? 

Ashton noticed a now-mopey Eva, which in turn made him feel guilty. “Go take your break. You could use the fresh air.”

[color=f4a460]“But we’re swamped.”[/color]

“Listen, don't fight me on this. Just do it before I change my mind, got it?”

Ashton was her supervisor and it wasn’t like him to let his employees take breaks only an hour into their shift. But, to her knowledge, he had a soft spot for her. So much so that he let her slide on certain things. It just so happened that when she was feeling down, he couldn’t help but let her off easy. 

[color=f4a460]“I promise I won’t lollygag.”[/color]

“Just go, will ya?”

Eva hugged Ashton tightly, then she would take off out of the back entrance of the club that led straight to the parking lot. As soon as she was outside, a cold breeze of summer’s night wind hit her like a tornado. The difference from all of the body heat inside The Edge and Mother Nature’s natural fragrance was such a  stark difference that she actually was shivering for all of two seconds. When she adjusted to it, Eva was able to take in the scents around her. Though not initially appealing, she inhaled past the smoke and vomit and took in scents of floral and the aromas in the surrounding area. It was divine, really. This was just what the doctor ordered - well, for the time being, at least. She couldn’t linger for that much longer, but Eva was at least able to relax for a few minutes.

At the height of her gleeful state, Eva took out her phone, texting her dear sister. [color=f4a460]“Kat, I wish you could be here. Salem’s night wind is so cooling and refreshing and it’s just what you would like.”[/color]

She hit send and pocketed her phone. Eva scanned the parking lot just to see how many cars there were and how many people still were around. As to be expected, there was a large quantity of both. The Edge was easy to get in if you worked there or was a VIP like [i]certain[/i] people. The rest, like with any place of business that hosted an entertainment appeal, had to wait. After she briefly returned to the sights in front of her, Eva was alerted by what she thought was a familiar sound. This caused her to return to the parking lot. It was in the moment her eyes met a pair of two people that she spotted someone familiar. Not familiar to her in the long term, but it was someone she had met just earlier in the day.

And then, as if possessed by adrenaline itself, she ran over to the pair with nothing but good intention and a smile fitting of Dental Weekly. [color=f4a460]“[b]Eli! Eli![/b] Do you remember me? It’s Eva Zima from earlier. The girl whose coffee you spilled,”[/color] she said, nearly out of breath. She was hunched over slightly, [color=f4a460]“Just..one moment. Running is not my forte, as you can see,”[/color] she panted into laughter.
