It was a typical Sunday and you were off work the entire next week. You didn't feel bad for it, you deserved it after all. After that long business trip you attended you got a raise for getting your boss a new client. Celebrating was necessary. You went to college and studied so hard for this, you needed this boost of confidence. Your friend had offered a few ideas until she mentioned, drinking. There was a little night club not too far from your place. You decided that it could be worth it and just agreed with her idea. You got ready (I won't get into too much detail like other shitty stories. "You put this outfit and makeup on!" Everyone is different, wear whatever the fuck you want) and waited for your friends to arrive to pick you up. They arrived, you guys took a few pictures, gossiped on the way there, stood in a really long line, and finally made it into the building. You were excited to say the least. You hadn't gone clubbing in forever. Not that you used to do it all the time, but you were a dumb teen at one point. After a few shots you knew you needed to calm down and drink some water. Suddenly the bar waiter hands you a drink.
"Some guy from the other side of the bar told me to give it to you. If I was you I wouldn't drink it, he's a creep" You giggle and take his advice. You push the drink away from you and take out your phone. 12:30? Already..wow. Im getting old man..Im so tired.
The man who offered the drink sat next to you with his hands in his pockets. You sighed and just waited for him to say/do something. It kind of scared you how long he sat there, staring at you. You tried to ignore it but eventually gave in. You turned to him with a angry glare.
"What do you want?" He continued to stare at you and wouldn't look away, so in return, you locked eyes with him. After a while you see him growing impatient and he stands up.
"What are you going to do? Be a creep to some girl at a bar in front of a bunch of people? Not a smart move pal.." You could of swore you saw his eye twitch. He grabbed the drink from earlier and tried to hand it to you. You pushed his hand away and stood up yourself.
"Are you fucking delusional? I'm not drinking that. Who knows what you laced it with.." You say to him. You pick up your bag and stand up to walk away. He grabs your arm and the mood shifts, something was about to happen. Sometimes bad. A hand is placed on the guys shoulder and you look over to see another man. He looks to you slyly.
"Mind letting go of her? She's my girl pal." The man lets go of your arm and just huffs, walking away. You turn back to the man and notice how handsome he is. You feel warmth rise to your cheeks and he holds out his hand to you.
"Hello, my name is Charlie. I hope you don't mind me saying I was your partner. I just saw how uncomfortable you were and then I saw him grab you and decided I would step in" He rambles a bit. You laugh and gently grab his hand.
"It's okay, I'm y/n. I appreciate the help Charlie, truly" He smiles and pulls your knuckles to his lips. You feel your heart skip a beat as he presses a soft kiss to your knuckles.
"Let me walk you home?" He asks. You shyly nod and he lets you walk first. You lead yourselves out of the club and down to the sidewalk outside. The fresh cool air hits your face and you take in a deep breathe. It was nice to take a step away from the people, the drinking, the CREEPS. Yeah you enjoyed having fun and partying but the thoughts did always paranoia you. You were pulled out of those thoughts by Charlie.
"Beautiful night isn't it?" He was standing there, one hand in yours and the other behind his back. You look to him and smile.
"Yeah, it is" He looked down to you and smiled back. He was about to say something when the man from before came walking up to you both. Charlie gripped your hand tighter and put you behind him.
"She's with me, leave her alone" The man took off his hood and looked past Charlie at you.
"Your a pretty little thing, I wonder what you taste like.." You cringe in disgust and shrink father behind the man in front of you.
"Pal this is your last warning. If you don't walk away then I won't hesitate to make you" Charlie seemed to lift his shirt to show the other man something, causing the man to go pale. The man turned around and began walking in the other directions. The only thing you could imagine it was, was a firearm. After a few seconds of watching the man walk away Charlie turned back to you.
"Man I'm sorry women have to go through shit like this everyday" You shrug and just grab his hand once again.
"It's okay. I'm used to stuff like that. But you still up for that walk home?" You asked, still not looking up at him. He nods his head waiting for you to continue walking for your home. The whole walk there you both laugh and get to know each other. You didn't know what it was about him, but you were attracted to him. He was a bit mysterious, charming, and had a sense of humor on him. He was equally attracted to you. He had been since you entered the bar. He watched you dance and drink until you sat down. He so badly wanted to go dance with you, to hold your hips to himself as you danced on him. Maybe that was the alcohol talking, but he knew he wanted to protect you. And protect he did.

Now you were standing in front of your homes door, talking and finishing the conversation you had started. You sighed and took a breathe of air after laughing at one of his jokes.
"Well as you can see, this is my stop.." You could see his smile drop for a moment. He quickly regained his posture.
"Oh, I didn't even notice that we had stopped" He said. You sway on your heels and laugh a little. You hadn't noticed until now, but your hands were still locked tightly together.
"Can I..get your number?" He abruptly asked. You look from your interlocking hands and you see a determined yet scared look on his face. You bite your lip in thought. He didn't know if you were doing it to drive him crazy or unknowingly. You reached into your purse and pulled out your phone.
"As long as you text me" You tease. He smiles and pulls out his phone.
"Of course your highness" He jokes and puts your number in his phone. You roll your eyes and put your phone away.
"It's pretty late, I should go now" You sadly admit. You had a pet you needed to take care of..unfortunately. He gives your knuckles one last kiss and let go of your sweaty hand. He didn't mind though, his was too. You unlocked your door and hesitated before going in. You turned back to Charlie and grabbed his collar, pulling him into a kiss. He was surprised sure, but definitely didn't hesitate to kiss back. You both stayed in a pretty heated make out session when you heard scratching on your door. Damnit..I need to get rid of that thing. You both pulled away smiling and resting your foreheads together.
"So this means were definitely seeing each other again right?" Charlie asked. You laughed and nodded to him.
"Yes Charlie we'll definitely see each other again..maybe this weekend?" Sure he was busy this weekend but there was always next weekend right? No.
"Yeah that works for me" Welp there goes his raise at work. It's okay to lose one client. You let go of him and walk into your apartment. You turn around and wink at him before closing the door. Charlie smirked and looked to the ground. He cherished your lips on his and sighed. He glances at your door once more before finally walking off. He was excited to see you again this weekend..you were such a sweetheart.
