NCT Lucas Imagines(AMBW)

1: Bar Owner

If I could help it, I would be at home right now in my bed, but I promised my friend that I would go out with her tonight. I made that promise like a week ago and I didn't want to let her down by canceling. But if I'm being totally honest with myself, I could use a drink too after this past week.

I patted my hand lightly over my head to make sure my puffballs were ok. Then I heard y/bf/n come up.

"Aren't you gonna go dance or something?" She asked me, holding her drink in her hand and her phone in the other.

"I might but not right now. Let me get a feel of the place first." She scrunched her nose and giggled before going over to whoever she was talking to before she came to me.

I can already tell I'm most likely going to be the one that drives us home tonight. But I really did want to get more acquainted with the vibe in here. I looked around and noticed the bar that was toward the back wall of the lounge. Not only that, but I also noticed a guy who was already looking at me.

I turned around and hoped that he wouldn't take that as a sign to come over to me. I have had my fair share of guys that can't hear and can't take no for an answer. Besides, I'm not looking for something short-term, and it's really hard to find that nowadays.

When I looked back to check around me, he wasn't there at the bar.

"What type of vampire s-" I began to say before I was cut off by a loud but low voice.

"Hi," I turned to see the same man standing tall in front of me. Very tall at that.

"I guess you were hoping I'd still be over there right?" He sat further down on the other side of the couch as I and laid his arm across the back.

"I kind of was. Or maybe I wasn't. But who would know except someone who can read minds, which the average person cannot do." He smirked at my response. He's sitting in a way like I really want him right there. I turned my body back toward the crowd-I hadn't noticed I was turned toward him-and I took a small sip of my mixed drink. It barely has alcohol in it.

"Well, how do you know what I can and cannot do? I just sat here and we haven't had a real conversation." He tilted his head and stared me down like we were in a stand-off.

As fine as he is-and as much as I hate to admit that right now- I wish he would go back to his table. I haven't had good experiences meeting guys at bars. They only want one thing, and I'm not that kind of girl to give myself away like that to every guy I meet. And this man is probably just like them.

Or worst, he's one of those 'I'll spoil you and make you fall for me then take what I want and leave' kind of guys. The way he wears that watch on his wrist and looks at it every couple of minutes gives me an idea. That suit that looks brand new and fits his tall figure like a glove-and I mean like a glove- gives me an idea too. I might have been observing him too long, by now he was smiling and had tilted his head back like I was amusing him.

"Why are you smiling like that?" I asked him. He shook his head and looked away from me.

"I'm Lucas, can I have your name?" He asked. I'm so glad that he has kept his distance this whole time, not even reaching out for a handshake. I'm not trying to do all that.

I mean he hasn't given me a reason to feel uncomfortable around him, and he hasn't said anything crazy yet which I'm waiting for. There shouldn't be anything wrong with me giving him my name.

"I'm Y/n. What made you watch me from across the room and then show up over here?" I asked him causing him to chuckle.

"I've never seen you in here before, and I get pretty familiar with the people that come and go." He explained. So I see, he likes to watch people.

"You watch people that much that you are sure I haven't been in here before?" I raised an eyebrow at him and he just looked at me.

"Come on man please stop that. The more I look at you the finer you get." I said to myself inside my head.

He just kept looking. Let me match that energy. I watched him watch me, and for a while, we were just watching each other.

"You're a very attractive woman. Every other girl that I've had the slightest bit of interest in knowing-and it hasn't been many at all- doesn't match what you're giving me." He tucked his bottom lip under his top lip and raised his head up.

"I'm bout to take you up out of here-"

"Bro why would you say that!?"

He is really making me be at war with my own thoughts.

"What I'm getting from this Lucas, is that you sit in this bar every weekend, and watch people-specifically girls- and if they just about reach your standards you talk to them but you're never successful." He laughed.

This time he laughed. It was a hearty, deep laugh. Then he stopped.

"No." I waited for him to elaborate.

"I watch who comes in and out of my lounge that I've owned since it was built, and I try to make friends or potential partners, but they aren't on my level. I'm not looking for a fling or anything short-term. It's usually because of them that there is no success." Well, I guess my assumptions were wrong this time.

"He owns this place!?"

"And it's for the safety of everybody in here. If I suspect something suspicious, I will come to have a chat with you. Which is currently about to happen." His eyes were directed toward a guy that was standing on the back wall by the bar in a big jacket.

It's almost 90 degrees outside.

"It was nice meeting you Y/n. I hope that this won't be the last time we speak and that I'll see you again soon." This time he reached out to shake my hand, I stood up and stuck my hand out in front of me, grabbing his hand. As we shook hands we locked eyes, like we were telling each other we'd see each other again.

"Cause we will. We will see each other again."

"See you soon Lucas." He flashed a smile before walking confidently over to the suspicious man.

Hi, lovelies! So I will be trying different writing styles for the first three chapters, but I hope it won't turn you away from looking for more chapters. I just want to explore more with what I'm comfortable writing like. I also published this in my NCT imagines book (AMBW) but that will be the only Lucas imagine I have in that book as I will start writing all my Lucas imagines here (since he's my ult bias) Until next time!

Thanks for Reading!
