Another visit at "Tops Up, Bottoms Down"

Shannon was quite excited about going to Tops Up, Bottoms Down after long week of work. She couldn't wait to try out the new special drink and obviously meet Andrew there. However, no matter how many times she had visited, not once did Andrew ever ask her out or for her number even though she had a good feeling that Andrew also liked her back. Of course, Shannon and Kaitlyn have been looking for ways to hint Andrew that she liked him, most of them being bold since its been going on way too long, but Shannon was quite confident in herself in getting Andrew hooked. If he doesn't ask her out yet, fuck it! She will!!!

***

It was 10:30 PM when Shannon and Kaitlyn arrived and like every Friday night, the bar was quite full. Music blasting, everyone dancing, singing, and drinking like any typical bar. The first thing that Shannon and Kaitlyn headed toward was the bar where Andrew is. Undoubtedly, Shannon found Andrew working hard and making drinks as any bartender should. Shannon blushed and her heart rate picked up as soon as she saw him. No matter how many times she sees Andrew every week, she could never get used to seeing him, especially when he's stuck on a routine of making cocktails or when his arms bulge out of his sleeves when he lifts up a heavy keg. Before they head to the bar, Shannon took a deep breath.

"Alright, you got this! If he doesn't ask, I will!!!" Shannon whispered to herself.

"Well, Shannon. I know you're nervous, but you can't expect to go out on a date with him if you're just going to stand there," Kaitlyn teased.

"I know! I'm just... just fucking nervous!!!" Shannon exclaimed over the loud music.

"It's okay! You got this! The worst thing he can is 'no,' and you can move on and just find some other hot dude in the bar and you know, make him jealous" Kaitlyn giggled.

"Ugh, there's no way I'm going to do that!" Shannon snapped back.

"Okay, I'm just joking! You get so personal when you're nervous," Kaitlyn yelled over the music.

"Well, here goes nothing," Shannon braced herself. Nothing but a drink would make her feel a little more loose before asking him out.

They both sat on the stools right in front of Andrew which immediately caught his attention.

"Well, if it isn't my favorite two regulars here! What can I get for you ladies!" Andrew asked.

"Oh, you know the usual," Kaitlyn answered.

"Gotchu! And how about you Shannon?" Andrew looked directly into Shannon which made her heart stop for a split second. She's usually never this nervous around Andrew, but the fact that this was the night she was going to ask him out made it feel like it was going to be the end of the world. Shannon caught her composure really quickly though. She was not about to make a fool of herself tonight.

"You know me!" Shannon gushed, "It's the first Friday of the month so I would like to drink the special for tonight!"

Andrew paused for a moment.

"Awww mannn! I know how much you like to try out our specials, but unfortunately, we do not have special for this month. But as you can see, we got a new karaoke machine for this month instead. But can I get you something else?"

"You're kidding! You're saying you guys never thought about a new specials drink when you had all month to think of something. Why didn't you just throw in one of your special drinks? You make the best drinks in this bar anyways," Shannon flirted.

Andrew paused again for a moment, only this time a hint of blush formed on his cheeks.

"Weeelllll, I would have, but..."

"But?" Shannon added.

"Well, I'm not supposed to tell anyone this, but I guess it's okay if I tell you ladies," He looked around his surroundings first and then leaned in close for the girls to hear, "Apparently, we did have a specials drink this month. It's supposed to be a beer, called the 'Bare Brew'. From what I've heard, it's really strong and can make you hammered by just drinking one cold glass,"

"Really?!!!" Both ladies sounding surprised.

"Yeah, but we took it off because some incident happened last night but I wasn't on shift," Andrew continued.

"Well, what happened last night," Shannon asked. Her curiosity getting to her.

Andrew hesitated.

"Weeelllll, apparently some young woman from last night drank a cold glass and got extremely drunk at the point she kinda just... ummmm... stripped off all her clothes until she was completely naked and danced on the dance floor,"

"Really?!!!" Shannon exclaimed. Both Kaitlyn and Shannon laughing at this point.

"Looks like someone doesn't know her limit!" Kaitlyn laughed.

"HAHA! Even the name of the beer too! What are the chances!" Shannon continued

"Yeah, but that doesn't explain why you guys can't sell the beer. She was drunk as fuck," Shannon said.

"The manager did tell me there was something wrong with the beer and he forbid us from selling the beer," Andrew went on.

"Wait... So that means you still have the Bares Brew?!!!" Shannon asked.

Andrew froze.

"Ha!!! So you do have the beer! You have to serve me that drink!" Shannon demanded.

"No, Shannon. I can't or else I'm going to get in trouble!" Andrew said.

"Oh come on! It's been a long week and I've been dying to try out a new drink tonight! PLLLEEEEEEAAAASEE!!!" Shannon begged.

It took a moment of begging, but Andrew finally gave in.

"Alright, alright!!! I'll serve you the drink, but you can't tell anyone or else I'm going to be in deep shit anyone finds out!" Andrew warned.

"Don't worry! I won't tell anyone! I'll make sure to tip you really well! And if you do end up getting fired, my reason for coming here is going to be cut in half if you're gone!" Shannon winked.

Andrew froze again and this time, his face turned into a deep shade of red. Andrew finally snapped out of it.

"U-U-Uhhh... Yeah! I-I'll go get that drink for you," Andrew stuttered.

He turned and began walking but then stopped again and began walking the other way.

"The drink is that way," Andrew chuckled before heading towards the other direction.

Shannon couldn't help but giggle a bit, seeing how cute he is whenever he gets nervous.
