I walk out of my appartment and the screechingly hot summer sun hits my face. Summers in New York are always extremely hot.
"Where do you want to eat?" I ask Chloe.
She's busy typing away on her phone and she doesn't hear me.
"Chloe?!" I repeat louder this time.
She takes her eyes away from the screen and laughs, "Sorry Zack and I were talking about what our favorite sex po-"
I cut her off and make a face showing that I'm clearly disgusted. "Where do you want to eat?".
She thinks for a second, types on her phone and looks up. "Zack and his friend are at the pub near by, do you want to go there? Grab a few drinks?".
I forgot to mention that Chloe is 2 years older than me and always provides me with a fake ID when we go out so that I can drink with her. She doesn't care that I'm only 19, she actually encourages me to drink.
"Sure". My car roars to life and we make our way to the pub.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The pub is a small bar that everyone goes to after work, to let off some steam from their stressful coworkers. It's dimly lit, to set the calm mood and they usually have a live jazz band playing.
Today, there was only a few people, it was mostly silent, except for the frequent shaking of drinks from the bartender.
We look around for Zack and his friend and its not hard to find them. Zack and his friend were standing by the pool table.
"Zack!" Chloe exclaims, making a couple of heads turn and look at her as if she'd just shot a gun. When she realizes that she'd been loud she repeats his name in a whisper, "Zack".
He smiles and waves us over and I can't make out his friends face. He's behind Zack and looks pretty tall from where I'm standing.
We walk over to the pool table and when I finally get a clear look at his friends face, the air is knocked right out of me. He's incredibly handsome. I walk to the pool table with all of the confidence I have in me and tuck a single hair behind my ear.
"Hey Chloe" Zack smirks when he sees her. He pulls her in for a hug and they end up kissing for a long time.
I stand there awkwardly looking at this stranger, when he takes out his hand.
"Hi, I'm Wyatt", his deep voice rings in my ears. His emerald green eyes pierce into mine. I take out my hand and shake his, his warmth transferes to my hand and and my stomach begins to feel quesy.
I struggle to find something to say, and I finally say," I'm Raylen". Our hands depart and I'm no longer satisfied with the feeling that just occured.
Chloe and Zack are still engrossed in one another while Wyatt and I stand there.
"Do you play?" Wyatt asks. His blonde soft hair brushes over his eye as he pulls it away. I stare at him too long that I forget he asked me a question.
"Raylen?" He gives me a confused look and I smile.
"Sorry. No, I don't play.. actually, I don't know how to play" I blush. His presence was towering me. He seemed like such a sweet guy but his aura gave off something deeper.
"I'll teach you." He hands me a pool cue and directs me to the side of the pool table.
"Alright now hold the cue like this" he stands behind me and puts my hands on the cue correctly. His touch was gentle.
He put the cue balls on the table and while he stood behind me, he whispered in my ear, " Now, hit the ball with the cue". He said it almost seductively. But I reminded myself that he was only teaching me how to play and not anything else. After all, I've just met him.
I hit the balls with the cue and wait to see them go into their desired slots, each one running away to hide.
"Good job" he smiles. He moves from behind me and moves to the other side of the table so he can play.
Chloe and Zack have finished their moment and now have their attention on us.
"So you guys have introduced yourselves... great", Chloe says and smiles. Zack still has his arms around her waist.
"Glad I met the beautiful lady" Wyatt says and looks directly at me. The intensity of his stare gave me goosebumps.
I smirked slightly, and looked down at my sandals. I tried not to seem too excited that he'd said that... I mean, it wasn't that big of a deal anyways.
Chloe noticed my nervous behavior and said, "Alright, let's play some pool then!".
I gave her a look thanking her and she winked at me.
Throughout the whole game, Wyatt would frequently stare and I had to contain myself the best I could, not to go over there and kiss him.
The worst part, is that I know nothing about this guy. I don't know his last name, age, favorite color- anything! I'm completely drawn to him and I know nothing about him.
I go to the bathroom to check my appearence and I feel overwhelmed. My brown hair is flat, my once so olive skin is now flushed, because of the thought of Wyatt. I tried my best to fix the tiny hairs out of place and added a tiny bit of powder to erase the red blotches he was causing.
I walk out and see that Chloe, Zack, and Wyatt have finished playing their game and Chloe looked like she was ready to go.
"We're going out tonight, if you want to join?" Zack said to Chloe specifically.
Chloe nodded, "We'll be there". She didn't wait for my response, she just agreed.
"I'll see you tonight then?" Wyatt asks as he kisses me on the cheek goodbye.
I look at Chloe, as if she was going to answer for me and say, "Of course".
