Alana sipped her morning coffee and looked at the date on the calendar, she realised Danielle had stuck to her word of not going out drinking for almost three weeks now. She was so proud of her big sister that she couldn't help but grin at her as Danielle walked into the kitchen,
"What are you grinning like a Cheshire cat for?" Daniele asked,
"Nothing, I'm just happy." Alana replied and hugged her sister,
"Yeah yeah alright, alright." Danielle said, as Alana kept hugging her, "Lonz look out you're gonna spill your coffee."
"Whoops, you almost ready for work?" Alana asked as she put her mug in the sink,
"Yup lets go."Danielle replied,
Alana spent the walk to work that morning non stop chatting and singing much to the dismay of Danielle who had wanted some peace and quiet.
***************
The Saturday lunch hour had been one of the busiest The Wire Grill had experienced and it was even busier that night,
"I CAN'T GET OVER THIS CROWD TONIGHT DASH." Este shouted over the noise,
"WELL GET USED TO IT SIS, WHAT WITH MY EXCEPTIONAL SCOUTING SKILLS OF BOOKING THE BEST BANDS ON THE PLANET THIS IS HOW EVERY SATURDAY NIGHT IS GOING TO BE FROM NOW ON." Dash yelled back.
Este laughed and hugged her brother,
"You are so full of yourself but I love you for that." Este said into his ear,
"Dash we need more bourbon and vodka." Alana said as she tried to keep up with the demands of the patrons all yelling for drinks.
"I'll get right on that." Dash replied, "Este you better jump in and help Alana and Darla."
There wasn't much time during the rest of the night to talk as everyone was kept busy serving drinks, Danielle was glad when her final order of food went out as she had not had a break all night, she finally sat down on a stool and downed a bottle of water.
She watched the two new kitchen staff Dash had hired to help her, continue to clean up the kitchen,
"Good job tonight Nat, Louis."
"Thanks Dani." Louis replied,
"Is it always this busy?" Nat asked,
"Yeah sometimes, but busy is good." Danielle replied, "You two finish up the remaining dishes and I'll do the rest."
Once Danielle was satisfied with how the kitchen looked she turned the lights off and went out into the bar. "We need to go out tonight, I need to RAGE." She announced to no one in particular.
"Oh hell yeah I'm in." Dash called out from the store room,
"Cool, Lonz you can ask Lillie to join us if you want?" Danielle suggested,
"No can do, Lillie's in New York on business."Alana replied,
"So you'll be going stag tonight even better." Danielle said,
"Nah don't you think it would be better if we like just went home tonight D, It's been a really long busy night already and I don't know about you but I'm totally beat." Alana explained not really wanting Danielle to start going out again drinking.
"Even more reason to be going out and letting off some steam right Este?" Danielle asked,
"Actually a night out does sound good, I honestly can't remember the last time I went out and not had to think about work." Este replied.
