advantage
of the fact that all the talent in the town is in one place for the
night.
    I am so busy that I almost forget about
Drake until I hear his guitar start playing. Suddenly I am frozen
to the spot as he starts to sing. His voice is amazing and the song
is beautiful. He is sitting on a stool the guitar resting on his
lap and I watch as his fingers caress the strings. I can't tear my
eyes away and lean back against the bar as my eyes and ears devour
him. He finds me and his eyes penetrate mine and it is as if we are
alone. I am rooted to the spot and tears come into my eyes. He is
so talented and I realise that he is a very accomplished musician.
He could go far with his talent and I am not surprised that there
is such a turnout.
    Before long though I am back to work. I
listen to him as I work, his voice following me around the room.
Even the sight of the girls drooling over him doesn't bother me as
before. Now I know that he is mine and I feel a warm feeling inside
as I remember his kiss. The guys are the usual pests. I have now
lost count of the many hands that I have removed firmly from my
backside. It actually doesn't bother me because I can handle it.
One thing that does surprise me though is that absolutely nobody
tries anything on with Layla. Given how stunning she is I am
amazed. When we pass each other I comment on it. "Layla, how do you
keep the guys from grabbing you? You must have a technique that I
could sure use right now." Layla laughs and raises her eyes. "The
only technique I have is that they know who my boyfriend is. Nobody
wants to have him come after them so they keep their distance.
You're new here so are fair game. As soon as they realise who your
boyfriend is they'll leave you alone." She heads back off to
deliver her drinks and I wonder who her boyfriend is. A while later
Drake takes a break and I head into the kitchen to see him. As soon
as he sees me he grabs hold of me and kisses me deeply. When he
pulls away I say softly, "You are amazing Drake. I love to hear you
sing. You should do it professionally." He smiles but his eyes look
sad. "I wish that I could Scarlett. The trouble is I am needed
here. Maybe in the future if things change then it may be a
possibility, but not now." Before I can reply Dylan pops his head
around the door. "Come on guys the bars three deep out here."
Pulling away we rush out to help. By the time we have served most
of them it is time for Drake to carry on playing. As he takes up
his position I notice with a sinking feeling that my brothers have
arrived. Suddenly the atmosphere changes and becomes tenser. I feel
cross and wish that they would just stay away. I watch as they move
towards the bar. I notice that Caleb laughs as he sees me scowling
at them. Ignoring them I head off to clear some tables. As I carry
my tray to the kitchen I see Layla at the bar. Suddenly Marius
moves behind her and in shock I see him wrap his arm around her
waist and pull her around to face him. He leans down and kisses her
and I look up in shock at Dylan who suddenly looks devastated. It
all clicks into place and I realise that Marius is Layla's
boyfriend. Poor Dylan, Drake was right, he would stand no chance
with her all the time Marius was interested. Even though he is my
detested brother even I know that he is perfection. Like most of my
family he has dark hair and the blackest eyes. His body is well
toned and obviously works out a lot. Like the rest of my brothers
he can also charm any girl that he wants and from what I hear they
all want a lot. There is not a woman in here that hasn't devoured
him or any of my brothers come to mention it with their eyes.
Feeling irritated I look away from the scene in front of me. Layla
appears so lovely and it is only a matter of time before he drags
her down, probably destroying her in the process. It makes sense
now as to why they are here.
    By the end of the night we are all
exhausted. There are only a few customers left when Dylan says,
"Thanks
