Your Pov:

To say that you had a bad day would be an understatement. You were simply walking down the road, heading to your favourite bar in New York. The fresh, cool breeze touched your cheeks, making you shiver. You turned around the corner and arrived at the bar, the yellow lights from inside illuminated the street partially. Pushing open the door, you felt the warmness and the smell of beer and whiskey all around you. The bar was quite full, either everyone was having a pretty bad day or having the time of their lives. You scanned the entire area, hoping to find a place to sit. You spotted a couple of seats near the opposite end and you went there. You pulled your barstool out and almost sat on it when you felt someone garb your arm.

You turned around to look at the person. He was tall, wearing a hat and a long coat. You immediately recognised him as the US chess champion, Benny Watts. He was known for his kind and gentle behaviour. He was so good with all his fans, the paparazzi, almost everyone. "How can I he-"you tried saying but he interrupted you. "Get out of the way." he said. "What?" you were dumbfounded. "Don't you know who I am?"he glared. "Y-yes,I know you." you tried to sound confident but failed. "Then fucking get out of the way, go find some other place to sit."he gave you a dirty look. "Uh- okay." you were too shocked to say anything.

You got your bag and moved out of the way, letting him take the seat. He called the bartender and ordered his drink. You scanned the room again, hoping to find someplace, but the only place left was beside him. You gulped hesitantly, pulling out the barstool beside him and seating yourself on it. A few minutes passed, he was playing with his hat and you were deciding what to order. Once you made up your mind, you told the bartender to get some wine. "Stop bothering me woman." your head snapped in Benny's direction when he said this. "Excuse me?" you glared. "Can you fucking get lost? I've had a really bad day and you're making it worse you stupid cow."he snapped, causing a lot of people look at you both.

"Here's your drink miss." the bartender said. You took the wine glass in your hand, not taking your eyes off Benny who was already glaring at you. "Your arse must be pretty jealous of all the shit that comes out of your mouth." you said and splashed your entire glass of wine on his face. Looking at his hung open jaw and wide eyes, you kept the money on the table. You grabbed your bag and headed out before he could say anything else. Taking shallow breaths of air, you ran down the streets until you found an empty bench at the side of the road and sat on it, thinking about what had happened. You felt tears streaming down your cheeks, making you look miserable. I had a bad day too but I didn't try making it worse for anyone else. You thought.

Time skip to next day:

Your Pov:

Today was different, it was very boring and pathetic. You were absolutely exhausted and starving. You went to that bar again, but this time you took a seat near the tables. You ordered a burger and waited for it to arrive. While you were playing with your ring, someone sat on the chair which was placed in front of you. You rolled your eyes and sighed, knowing who it was even if you weren't looking at him. "Y/n, I wanted to-" he tried saying. "How do you know my name?" you asked.

"The bartender, he knows that you're a regular customer." he said and this time you looked in his beautiful brown eyes. "Y/n, I'm sincerely sorry for what I did yesterday."he said, looking at his fingers nervously. "Cut the crap. Why are you here?" you clenched your jaw, looking away from him."Love, I'm really-"he started to say again. "Don't call me that."you deadpanned. He sighed, and started talking again. "Y/n, I had a crappy day yesterday but that doesn't allow me to treat you like I did. I'm really sorry and I want to make it up to you." he said.

"It's okay Benny, it's not like I'm going to ruin your name in front of the media." you got your bag and stood up, ready to leave the place. "Wait, that's not why I'm here."he said, holding your wrist to stop you. You stood there, waiting for him to continue. "I really mean it. I'm sorry. And I'm not hear because I care about my public reputation. I really feel sorry for how I behaved."he said. You were happy that he was sincerely sorry and that he actually made an effort to come and apologize.

"It's okay, I forgive you young man."you smiled and his face immediately brightened up. "I uh, I wanted to ask something else too."he stuttered. "Yes?" you said. "Uh, can we hangout sometime...I mean could you uh, join me for dinner?"he said nervously. "Benny Watts, are you trying to ask me to go on a date with you?" you teased and laughed lightly at his shyness. "Yes."he mumbled, looking down with embarrassment. "Okay, I'll go with you." you kissed him on the cheek and handed him a small piece of paper with your number on it.
