Taking Risks Read Online Free PDF

watching TV until I had to get ready for my shift at Rocktop. I took my time getting ready for my Saturday shifts. It was nice not having to rush to the bar after school and my tips always seemed to be better with the more that I wore. I got out of the shower and dressed in my barely-there uniform, just in time too, because Gray emerged from the air. I tried to give him a dirty look to show him that I didn’t approve of his unannounced entrance, but he was doing some crazy hip hop dance that I had seen on a music video and I couldn’t keep from laughing at him. After he finished his dance and I gave him a standing ovation, I dried my hair and then pulled it back into a messy, but cute, high pony tail with a purple headband that matched my Ravens jersey. I applied a little mascara and then finished my makeup with some pale pink lip gloss.
                  “You look smokin’ Spud!” Gray said when I emerged from the bathroom. Gray had chosen the nickname “Spud” for me when I was little. I’ve never asked him why he called me that, but I avoided talking to him about it at all costs. I could only be glad that no one else could hear him say it and start to follow the trend. I rolled my eyes at him and he gave me a disapproving look. Irritating him with eye rolling was the only ammo I had against him.
                  “I’m ready!” I said.
                  “It’s about time.” Said Gray and then we headed out to the Delray. Usually Gray and I rode in silence as we listened to the radio, but something had been eating at the both of us.
                  “What are we going to do about Little Dirty Boy?” I asked.
                  “Little who?” Gray was confused. I guess I had never said the nickname that I had chosen for the boy out loud.
                  “You know, our friend we made. The one that’s going on a downhill spiral…fast.”
                  “I’ve been wondering the same thing myself.” Gray said and his mouth turned down into a frown.
                  Neither of us had any idea what we could do to help Little Dirty Boy, so the rest of the car ride we were quiet and thoughtful. When we got to the bar I walked straight to the employee room to clock in. Remi was there looking at something on her phone and waiting to start her shift. Gray moved behind her and started checking out her ass just for the sake of making me uncomfortable. He was never that inconsiderate unless he was trying to be a jerk. I tried really hard not to pay any attention to him, but the room was small and it wasn’t long before I started to giggle at him. Remi must’ve heard me because she tore her attention from her phone and said, “Oh hey chick! Did you get your boy problems figured out?” I began to blush which made Remi laugh. She loved making people squirm and she knew how easy it was for me.
    I punched my time card and put on my little black waist apron to start my shift. When I got into the dining room the other server girls were in a huddle pointing at something and giggling. When I saw what they were pointing at , my jaw dropped. Risk was sitting in the restaurant section of the bar. He was sitting in my section to be exact. There were only two other occupied tables in my section and they had already been served their food, so I took a few long deep breaths and headed over to his table.
                  I tried not to make eye contact with him so that it wouldn’t be obvious that I recognized him. “Can I get you anything?”
                  After he didn’t respond right away I decided to quit being a sissy and look at him. Risk looked like I had caught him by surprise and he didn’t know what to say. I cleared my throat because I was uncomfortable with the silence and his face lit up. “I’ll take whatever’s on tap.” He said and his green eyes twinkled.
