The sun

Black V-neck

Ava
As I break eye contact I feel my palms begin to sweat, I stretch my fingers and look back up. His deep brown eyes still looking at me. As I make my way to the bar I feel his stare still on me, I sit at my normal stool and wait for my drink. I'm here enough that Jen knows what I get. "Are you sure you need this?" She laughs as I slowly sip the sangria down. You'd think with as much as I drink I'd order a stronger drink but I save that for home. I feel a presence that's met with the most deep yet soothing voice. "You look so familiar" My heart starts racing but I'm not sure why. I'm used to the typical douchebags hitting on me and Jen always comes to the rescue.
I look up into his eyes and it's as if they could become more deep and beautiful. "I come here a lot". Wow now he probably thinks I'm some pathetic alcoholic or worse a barslut. He laughs and sets his drink down. "This is my second time coming here so I don't think that's it". I take a sip of my drink "I go to the university".

As he starts to say something he's interrupted by Kevin. Kevin is your typical grade A asshole who only comes to bars that he can have a variety of women to take advantage of. "Ava! Glad to see you here, I see you've met my boy Marcus"! He's already pissed drunk as usual. Marcus the name fills my head and I look back to see he's annoyed also. He shoves Kevin's hand off his shoulder "I'm not your boy and you should probably make your way home if you can remember where that is". As he glares at Kevin I take in the view. His dark black V-neck clings to his solid chest, his arms fill the sleeves perfectly. "Don't even try man Ava here always goes home alone" he laughs the most cringing laugh, but he's not wrong I take pride in never bringing home pathetic losers I meet at the bar. "Fuck off Kevin, seriously go home or I can make you". Kevin smirks and walks away but not before putting his arm around me. He whispers in my ear "hey maybe tonight's different" he winks, I almost vomit in my mouth. As I look back at Marcus his face not hiding the anger. "Sorry he's like a dog that doesn't know how to act in public".

Marcus
I've never looked at someone and felt an instant trance. As she walks in our eyes meet and I can't look away. Her beautiful dark hair flows past her chest and her emerald green eyes look at mine, she's not dressed up but looks perfect. She walks to the bar in a nervous manner. As she sits down the bartender brings her a drink.
I get up and walk over to sit next to her before I can change my mind. As I look at her it's as if I've known her my whole life. "You look familiar" she looks up at me nervously, her eyes so beautiful but almost broken. "I come here a lot". Her voice so small and mesmerizing. I feel like this new completely different personality has come over me that started the second our eyes met. "This is my second time coming here so I don't think that's it". She slowly sips her drink, who knew someone could make you wish that you were the drink they filled themselves with. "I go to the university".
As I try to say that's probably it I'm interrupted by Kevin who always finds it necessary to touch me. Some days I wish killing someone was publicly accepted because he would be at the top of my list. "Ava! Glad to see you here, I see you've met my boy Marcus". If I could allow myself to feel sorry for someone I might have sympathy for him.I shove his hand off my shoulder "I'm not your boy and you should probably make your way home if you can remember where that is" I glance to see her eyes on my chest. A smirk almost comes to my face then I remember Kevin is still standing her and would see that as an invitation to stay. "Don't even try man Ava here always goes home alone". Does that mean she goes home to someone? The thought sends jealousy through my body. "Fuck off Kevin, seriously go home or I can make you". He steps forward and slides his arm around her shoulder to whisper something m which instantly angers me. "Sorry he's like a dog that doesn't know how to act in public". "It's okay he's in my psych class which is useless seeing as all the man came to college for is to get laid". I laugh and continue to stare at her. She seems to try and shrink under my gaze. Normally when I intimidate people it's so gratifying but with her it almost breaks my heart. I turn my head towards the bar. Trying to think of what to say but before I can she sits her drink down and stands up. "Maybe I'll see you around" she says in a soft voice. I know I have to see her again, "I can walk you home, I promise I won't try to come in" I wanted to add that as long as she doesn't want me too.
I know if I say that though I have no chance of leaving with her. "It's not far I'm fine thank you though". I want to push but I don't. I write down my number quickly on a napkin as she starts to walk away, I run up as she opens the door and hand it to her. "I hope to hear from you".
