Forgive us

Macey and Johan walked into the bar heading for the back. Macey glanced around spotting Asher sitting at the table closest to the bar. Macey rolled her eyes. Why couldn't he just leave her alone? Johan followed what Macey was looking at and quickly pecked her lips excusing himself. He was going to go talk to Asher and get him to leave.

Johan headed over to Asher "Look she agreed to meet you tomorrow just back off" Johan spat at Asher. "I know, I'm here in case Tyler turns up like Diesel did. I let her down most of her life and nothing I do will change that. I just want to make sure she is safe" Asher replied shocking Johan. "Why are you worried about your brother?" Johan questioned.

Asher sighed, this guy was clearly dating Macey which meant that Asher wasn't supposed to like him. However, he clearly cared about Macey and helped her. "He said some fucked up shit this morning and doesn't get what he did to Macey was wrong. I don't want to risk him turning up here like Diesel. If that means me sitting here every night Macey works, then that's what I will do" Asher replied. Johan nodded in understanding and took off to sign in for his shift.

Macey signed into her shift before Jeff called her into his office. Macey feared she would be fired because of what her brother did this morning. "Macey, I want to offer you a permanent bar manager role on Thursday, Friday and Saturday night. The way you handled the bar by yourself Thursday night and then last night with the new staff was great work. So will you be the bar manager? It means no more floor work and a pay rise" Jeff stated.

Macey was shocked, she thought she was going to be fired. Macey just stared at Jeff for a few minutes not knowing what to say. "Macey? If you don't want the position it's fine" Jeff said thinking she didn't want the role. "No no, I thought you were going to fire me after this morning. I would love the position" Macey clarified.

"Macey about this morning. That was not your fault at all. I want you to know that you can always come to me if you need help. What that guy was saying, it was some disturbing stuff. I might be your boss but I also care about you like a big brother. You have been here since you were 18. If you are in trouble you come to me" Jeff told Macey. Macey could see he was serious so she nodded her head. "Thanks, Jeff, I should get out on the floor and prepare the bar" Macey responded before heading out.

Raph was behind the bar waiting for Macey, Jeff had told him she was the manager and would train him on the register. "Hi, Macey right?" Raph asked. "Hi yeah, Raph?" Macey replied she was a little unsure of his name and also embarrassed he witnessed the incident this morning. "Jeff said you are the manager and will be showing me the register" Raph stated seeing how Macey was a little embarrassed.

Macey shook her head, she needed to forget about this morning and concentrate on work. She was sure everyone at the bar had heard what had happened by now anyway. "Sure, I also wanted to apologise about this morning. It's not always like that" Macey stated to Raph who smiled at Macey in reassurance. "No dramas can't help crazy people" Raph laughed out trying to lighten the mood. "But seriously, I have been with an abusive ex and I know how hard it can be. If you ever need a shoulder or ear I'm happy to be that person" Raph added. "Thanks that crazy person was one of my brothers" Macey replied shocking Raph.

Macey got to work showing Raph how to use the register before opening the other side for him to use. Raph had worked bars before so they picked it up quickly. About 7.30 pm the bar started to get busier which Macey was thankful for as it meant that the night would go quickly. Asher hadn't moved from his spot watching the doors and his sister just in case Tyler turned up.

Johan was on the door tonight which he didn't like. He wanted to be on the floor to keep an eye on Macey but had asked the other guys to keep an eye on her and Asher in case he kicked off. He had heard what he said but didn't exactly trust the guy.

As Macey went on her break Johan was about to follow when someone familiar turned up with a bunch of other guys. Johan was pissed off but couldn't stop them coming in. "I'm warning you all, any trouble and you will be out" Johan stated looking directly at Tyler when he spoke. Tyler didn't look as cocky when the three security guards all glared at him. He even had to hand over his ID to be scanned which Johan purposely did so he could blacklist him if anything occurred.

Johan slipped into the bar and headed over to Asher. "Your brother is here with a group of his mates. He better not start shit tonight because I have warned all the guards and it won't be pretty" Johan told Asher. Asher nodded in understanding and sat up taller, he was going to be watching his brother like a hawk. Johan also headed to Jeff to give him a heads up about Tyler and the warning Asher gave him about Tyler possibly causing trouble for Macey. Johan knew that everyone would be warned and would be watching Macey.

Johan headed to the staff area where he saw Macey. She was eating a roast dinner from the bistro kitchen. "Hey gorgeous" Johan said plopping down next to Macey. "Hey there is a meal in the microwave for you" Macey responded pecking Johan on the lips. "Thanks, Macey your brother Tyler turned up. Asher is worried he is here to cause shit" Johan stated going to the microwave to grab his food.

Macey looked at Johan, "has he been drinking?" She asked timidly. "Not sure, if he starts we will escort him out. He is here with his mates" Johan stated. "Ok," Macey replied. She had a bad feeling but she wouldn't let Tyler cause trouble at her work. She would cut him off quickly if she had to.
