“For fuck’s sake will you get out the way” he whispered under his breath to Dan.
“Sorry, I’m just as busy as you are” he replied. After all it was manic in the pub that night and he and his boss Rob where the only staff in the pub that night. It was unusual for a Wednesday but there had been a works do for a local company.
It was only a small bar and the room behind it even smaller. They got on really well and on occasion met outside work for football on a Sunday. Dan knew Rob was gay but it never bothered him. “Each to his own” he used to say. Rob never had the guts to tell Dan he fancied him.
“The IPA’s gone, I’ll just go change the barrel.” Dan said as he disappeared down the stairs to the cellar. He was fumbling around with the barrels when he backed into something. It was Rob.
“I’m sorry, I thought I would give you a hand”
“Thanks” Although there was a strange tone in his voice. He wondered why he was down there, but just shrugged it off. “Busy up there?”
“Not at the moment” He bent down and grabbed the other end of one of the barrels as they both moved it out of the way. “We are going to have to come down and sort this place out a little later”
