Whiskey and the view from the 11th floor.

I take my glass of alcohol and chug it down without hesitation, I need to get my mind off of this day.

After arriving late to work this morning, after forgetting to set my alarms the night before, my boss has been nagging at me the entire day, 'you need to do this and that', 'bring me a cup of tea', 'I need these documents faster' and blah blah blah... God, what an asshole. For barely reaching 160cm in height, he sure has a big attitude.

I let out a sigh as I try to get those exhausting thoughts out of my head, resting myself against the back of the chair. The bar is quiet today for being a Friday. As I try to get the bartender's attention to pour me another glass, I feel a presence by my side and a tall slender figure sits on the chair next to me. I look over and notice it's Yelena, my co-worker.

- Hey, I wasn't expecting to see you here. - She says with a soft smile.

- Hi. I just needed a drink. - I say returning a smile.

- A drink? Or a few? - She eyes the three empty glasses in front of me with raised eyebrows. I chuckle.

- Yeah, well, let's just say my body is used to these kind of nights.

- I'll treat you to this round. - She turns to the bartender and calls his attention. - Onyankopon, two more of what the lady's having here. - The tall black man nods and starts preparing the drinks.

- It looks like you come here often. - I say, trying to spark some conversation between us.

I really don't know much about this woman.
But I look up to her, she always looks so relaxed and professional. And I never really talked much to her at the office, besides when we share small talk for a few minutes on our smoke breaks.

- Well, just as you do, I also need a few drinks to relax after a long work day.

Do you live around here? - She asks as Onyankopon places our drinks on the table with a smile. She pulls out her wallet to pay and mumbles a "thank you, keep the change" before he turns away.
I take a moment to examine Yelena's features. She's really attractive, not just her physique but her laid back attitude makes her really interesting. I wouldn't mind getting closer to her.

Her eyes lay on mine and I fear she can read my thoughts, so I look away and answer her question.

- No I don't, but I come here often to drink... how is it that I've never come across you? - I reach for my purse and take out my pack of tobacco, I take one for myself and offer her another.

- Oh, you have. You just never realised my presence, probably, but I've seen you here before a few times, after work. - With a playful smile she eyes me up and down. - You're always in your own world, minding your business, and I didn't wanna bother you. - She pauses as she reaches for the lighter in her jacket. - Until today, that is.
