Jepsen saw no harm in talking to Ally. He was pretty much nice to everyone. Jepsen could see that something was bothering Ally. He didn’t want him to work if he didn’t need to. Jepsen could work at the bar as he usually did and let Ally have some space to work on other things in the office if he needed to.

Calling Alaine, Ally was not likely to stop. Perhaps it was because he admired Ally but even he didn’t know he was doing it at times. It merely just rolled off the tongue. Jepsen knew he was apologizing for something he didn’t know about. However he found it was better to be courteous instead of judging. He saw the tears welling in Ally’s eyes. Jepsen stepped closer grabbing the order he was working on. ”Why don’t you go relax Ally, I’ll take over from here.” He spoke smiling at Ally, as he stood beside him. Jepsen knew that Ally just needed some relaxation and peace, not work and trying to force himself to be happy when he wasn’t.

The idea of moving in together scared him, but he wanted it all the more. Micha couldn’t go without anymore. The year had been to long separated from Samuel. He wanted to start over again, and the only way to do it was start from where they left off. Micha listened as Samuel spoke. He smiled as he held onto him. The idea of moving in just to move out didn’t seem like a good idea. However he was still get the loft, only for work reasons, after all he didn’t think Samuel wanted his clients coming to his house. He shook his head lightly, ”Yes, I was just checking to make sure you knew what you were getting yourself into.” Micha spoke teasing Samuel. He released him, as he turned Samuel around. Micha slipped his hands around Samuel’s neck, as he leaned up and kissed him. He had no plans to leave Samuel again, unless Samuel kicked him out of his life.

Alaine knew that Jepsen meant no harm by talking to him. He understood that he was only trying to help. It wasn't any of Jepsen's fault. Just as it wasn't his own fault that Liam had changed. Maybe he really didn't know the man as well as would have liked. Alaine did his best to hold back the wave of emotion. He watched through flooded eyes as the drink he had been preparing was carefully taken away from him. He could feel the man's heat radiating off of him as he stood closer to his side. Silently, Alaine nodded. Clearing his throat he said, "I'll be back in twenty minutes. Call me if it gets too crazy."

With that said he took his leave from bar. Pushing and weaving through the crowd, he made his way towards the employee exit. Once he was there, he pushed the heavy metal door. The white hall was much quieter as most employees were already out on the floor. Walking quickly down the hall, he passed his office, then the employee lounge, and finally out the back door. He took a shaking breath and moved to lean against the break wall. At some point between his arrival and now it had rained. The cars, pavement, and even the wall behind him were all still damp. He didn't care. He took a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and slipped one between his lips. "Get it together" he told himself feircely .Raising his hand, he lit the tip and inhaled deeply. Before he could stop himself, the tears he'd been holding back dripped down his face. He stared angrily at the ground and wiped at the tears as quickly as they formed.

He felt so stupid for getting so upset. This was all Liam's fault. He was being an impatient a*****e and they both knew it. He had half a mind to fire him himself. But he knew it was just his emotions talking. Alaine continued smoking and crying for the rest of his break. When he still didn't feel any better, he went back inside, washed his face,and headed for the bar. He held his head high and dared anyone to ask if he was okay.

Moving in together scared him too. As did getting back together but he wasn't letting his fear stop him. He wanted to forget last year even happened and just focus on building a new life with Micha. So far, they seemed to have no issues with picking up where they had left off. If he was being honest, they were communicating better now than they had in the last three months of their relationship. Samuel, of course, understood if it was all too much too soon. It hadn't even been twenty-four hours since Micha showed up in his office. He also knew that Micha had been thinking about getting a loft. For work, home, or both he wasn't sure. All the same his offer was there for the taking. He smiled as Micha teased him again before turning him around. Slipping his hands up to the males waist, Samuel leaned down to kiss him back. Samuel had no plans of ever kicking Micha out of his life again. Even if they both ******** up, he wanted them to try to work out their problems this time around. Not just get mad and storm off without even talking about it. He wanted to share his life, make new memories, and at long last put the past behind them. Samuel was hopeful, to say the least. For himself, for Micha, and for their future.

Taking over for Ally, he grabbed his glass and the bottle of alcohol he had been holding. Jepsen nodded as Ally spoke. He took over for him as Ally left the bar. Jepsen watched as he left heading toward the employee door. He returned his attention back toward the patrons at the bar. His mind however was worried about Ally. Jepsen didn’t know the male very well, but he couldn’t help himself.

He continued to work as he stood behind the bar. Jepsen let himself work through the motions, smiling as he greeted every patron who came to the counter. He went around like clockwork and reverse.

As time seemed to pass, he almost didn’t notice as Ally returned. It seemed that he didn’t take his advice. Jepsen didn’t mind, he wasn't going to force Ally to take a break if he didn’t want to. He watched as Ally walked behind the counter. ”Better?” Jepsen asked, curiously but also to make sure that Ally was alright.

Liam was already running late, nor did he care. He knew it would look bad on his part, but he was in no mood. Liam had quickly dressed after his shower. It was already two hours after the club opened. Liam drove to the club, going through the back. He held onto his bag, as he entered the club through the employee entrance. Liam went into the employee lounge to change his clothes.

Finishing changing his clothes, he slipped out of the employee lounge. Liam walked down the hallway heading toward the dance area. He weaved his way through the patrons. Liam was only clad in black mini leather shorts. He made his way toward the cage. Liam barely noticed that Alaine was at the bar. He figured he would be but at the moment, he just needed some space from him.

Entering the cage, he let the music take control as he always did. Liam knew Alaine had most likely saw he hadn’t arrived on time. He didn’t know what to think right now. Liam’s mind was awash with too many thoughts and emotions. He didn’t know where their relationship was heading or if it was merely ending.

Moving in didn’t bother him, but he worried about where his things would go. Micha knew that everything here was already Samuel’s. He didn’t want to invade, but knew Samuel would never think that. It was only his own thoughts. Micha had a storage unit full of things from his loft and house. He only had one suitcase however at his hotel.

As he held onto Samuel, he felt his hands slip around his waist. Micha pulled back from the kiss. ”Should we get out before the water turns cold?” He asked curiously even though he was content beneath the warm water and in Samuel’s arms.

Coming back into the club was like being swallowed up. The loud music filled every corner of the room, vibrating off the walls and the floors. The amount of people was both terrifying and calming. In the sea of faces, voices, it was easier to forget about his own problems. Alaine weaved through the crowd to the bar. in the two hours since the club had opened, he had yet to see Liam. Where he was, he could not say. He would certainly be keeping tabs on his time card. If he saw that he was late, he wouldn't go yell at him or fire him. He'd just take it out of his pay. After all, it was only the job that mattered now, right? If that was case, he would learn to show up on time. Until then, he hoped he enjoyed a cheap paycheck.

Slipping behind the bar, he took up his place next to Jepsen. His break wasn't exactly spent the way the man probably wanted. But, at least he didn't feel like crying into his next order. He opened his mouth to speak, when he noticed movement from the corner of his eye. Alaine glanced towards the man in the cage. Of course now he shows. "Well....I was." he replied. Taking a deep breath, he sighed and smiled kindly up at Jepsen. "Alright, what are you working on? Anything I can help with?"

 

[xDarkWinterx]

As Ally came back, he hadn’t noticed Liam after all the male was of no interest to him. Jepsen saw him as another employee, however Ally was different to him, even if he was his boss. He tried not to think too much into it. Jepsen smiled as Ally spoke toward him. He watched as the male tried to change his emotions hiding what was truly feeling. Jepsen shook his head lightly, ”Nah, everything’s okay.” He spoke not wanting Ally to worry about helping him. All Ally needed to worry about was just relaxing and letting everyone else worry about the club and the patrons.

If he was bothered by Micha moving in and bringing in his things, he wouldn't have offered in the first place. He knew that over the last couple of years he'd acquired many things of his own. But there was still room for Micha. More than that, he had another idea he wanted to talk with him about. Samuel didn't mind them living here in the mansion or back in his penthouse. After all, both were already paid off so they wouldn't have to worry about paying rent or a mortgage. He wondered though if Micha would be interested in them getting a place together. Something that was never previously owned by his family or from Micha's old life. Something new that they could call their own.

Samuel held on to the males waist as he kissed him. He sighed contently as the male pulled back and listened as he spoke. "Yeah, probably should." he replied. Content as he was to just stand here holding him in his arms and kissing his soft lips, he knew eventually they would have to get out. The hot water wouldn't last forever. With one last kiss, Samuel pulled out of the males grasp and moved to twist the knobs. The flowing water came to a stop leaving nothing but a lukewarm puddle and steam all around them. Pushing open the glass door, he stepped out first and walked through the bathroom towards the sinks where he had laid out the towel. He held out one for Micha then unfolded one for himself. For the second time that day Samuel ruffled his hair and dried off his body. Once he was dry, he wrapped the towel around his waist and started back towards his bedroom. "Clothes or no clothes?" he asked the male. Micha was fine to stay as he was, he had no problems with that. But he thought he might like the option as well.

As Liam took his position in the cage, he let his eyes wander a little. He took note of Alaine at the bar, talking to some guy. Liam saw Alaine smile at the guy, it bothered him a little. He continued to let his eyes watch Alaine even though he seemed to be ignoring him. Liam didn’t blame him, after all he had been pretty harsh after leaving the restaurant. He knew that dropping Alaine off without a word to him really, he only had himself to blame. Liam tried not to let Alaine bother him too much, as he continued to dance. He could feel a few people close by watching him, as they usually did. After all it was his job, to gather attention.

 

[Pure Acid Dreamer]

Alaine didn't know if Jepsen knew Liam. Right now he didn't really care. He just wanted to get back to work and forget about him. From the corner of his eye he could already see his followers flocking to his cage. It wasn't surprising. Liam was pretty popular after all. He glanced towards him again, feeling his eyes but was quick to look away. Smiling up at Jepsen he had hoped he would have some kind of work that he could do. Alaine pouted as the male was quick to tell him otherwise. "Fine." he whined. Turning towards the remaining crowd, he automatically looked over at the cage dancers. He was still upset and wanted a bit of revenge. "Jepsen, if I told you to kiss me, would you do it?" he asked, turning back to the male.

The idea of moving into their own place seemed way better than, having a place that was already Samuel’s. Micha didn’t want to feel invading, with a place to call his own it would make him feel better. He hated the idea however of having Samuel buy a new house for him. However he knew if he voiced it, it would only cause problems. It was better to just let Samuel buy the house for them.

Just as he was, Micha was content to stand in the shower in Samuel’s arms kissing him. He smiled as Samuel seemed reluctant. Micha kissed Samuel until he pulled away. He released him, watching as Samuel moved to turn the water off. Micha waited as Samuel opened the door and stepped out. He followed after Samuel, as he stepped out of the warm shower. Micha shook a little freezing as he stood there. He took the towel as Samuel offered it, thanking him. Micha went about drying himself off as he stood there. He didn’t bother with the hair knowing it would dry on it’s own. Micha tucked the towel around himself, as he followed Samuel to the bedroom. He shrugged lightly as Samuel questioned him. ”No clothes.” Micha spoke smiling at Samuel, as he pulled his towel off and tossing it in the hamper. He had no need for clothes, as he was quite content without them.

Samuel had no problem with getting a place of their own. Half of the stuff already filling the mansion wasn't even his. Sure everything in his bedroom and bathroom was his. But most of the stuff in the other rooms have been there since his childhood. There might be a few choice pieces he would take with him but certainly not everything. Samuel was open to talking it out without getting huffy.

As he entered his bedroom, Samuel resumed driving off any parts of his body that were still dripping wet. He smirked at Micha's reply and watched him toss the towel into the hamper. "In that case...." Samuel trailed off as he crooked his finger, motioning the male forward. Turning towards the closet, he pulled out a fitted sheet from the top shelf. "Help me with the sheet before we lay down. Please?" he said. Normally he wasn't such a stickler for cleanliness. But after two baths back-to-back he'd rather not risk needing a third one. Tossing his own towel in the hamper, Samuel moved towards the bed and stripped away the comforter and flat sheet, which were already dragging on the floor. He then pulled at the corners and folded them towards the center. Taking the bundle of soiled cloth, he placed it in to the hamper as well as the flat sheet. He was definitely going to need to do laundry in the near future.

Jepsen didn’t mind taking care of the bar. After all it was his job as the bartender. He had no plans really of screwing things up, however he knew Ally couldn’t seem to stay out of his head. Jepsen knew it was better to let Ally help or he would dwell on the things that bothered him. He laughed softly as Ally pouted at his words. Jepsen didn’t really need the help though if Ally insisted then he wouldn’t mind after all it was his club anyways. He had been thrown off a little as Ally spoke next, questioning him. Jepsen had never expected Ally to ask him such a thing after all he barely knew the man. He could only guess it was related to the man gaining on the attention right now on the other side of the room. Jepsen wondered if he should give in or not. He didn’t want to hurt Ally’s feelings however. ”Yes, I would.” Jepsen spoke giving into his own whims as well. He couldn’t resist the idea of kissing Ally, even if it meant he was a pawn in his game.

((Go ahead and post Alaine, I'm going to wait for his reponse before posting Liam.))
