^{For what? Siobhan asked as she poked her head around the corner.}

            ^{I have an interview at a film production studio and I want to look decent.}

            ^{Well then I guess Im gonna have to pretend to be you then. Siobhan said slapping my arm slightly.} 

            ^{I gave her a glare before pushing her back into her room, heading to mine.  I needed to get ready. I was hungry and I still hadnt picked out what I was going to wear to work.  It didnt matter, Id end up wearing the same black pants and white shirt I always did.  I wasnt trying to impress anyone.  I served drinks to men in their three-piece suits all night while they ogled the cocktail waitresses and college girls attempting to sing at the karaoke machine.}

            ^{Still, it paid the rent, and that was all that mattered.  Siobhan hated the bar I worked at because she couldnt stand watching as men downed sophisticated drinks like Martinis and Manhattans.  Worse still were the older gentlemen that sat all night and nursed a scotch neat (basically straight from the bottle, no ice, in a rocks glass).} 

            ^{It was better than the biker ***** hole I worked in when I lived on the east coast.  I spent all night being shown pictures of the gray beards little ladies.  Then again, they also looked at me like family, and if I was ever hassled leaving the bar by a newcomer, wellhe never went there anymore.}

            ^{As usual, I picked my penguin attire and exited my room, heading for the kitchen.  I had a long night ahead of me, and I didnt want to face it on an empty stomach.  So I grabbed a leftover half a sub from the fridge and scarfed it down before exiting the apartment, yelling a loud goodbye to Siobhan.}

 

^{So you really like her? Dana asked, looking at Lara who sat slightly off to the side at the table of 5.}

^{Lara nodded softly, a small smile curving the side of her lips as she thought about the slightly style defunct blonde shed started dating recently.}

^{Well thats great. Shane said with a smile.}

^{Admittedly, Jake was slightly stand offish when it came to people she didnt know, Lara had picked up on that. Still, she wasnt the type to damn someone for being a little socially inadept.}
