COD, Bitches

9. Fallin for Ghosty

"A drink?" I repeated the large man who was sat at my bar. "Yeah what have ya got?" He asked me, and I smiled. "Anything you want" I gestrued to the bottles.

"Your number" He spoke with such confidence, and I smiled. "Cute" I nodded. "That's what they tell me" He shurgged, and I narrowed my eyes, but I couldn't get the smile off my face.

"Listen, first drink is free casue you are cute, but no number. Ive got guys every day askin, but you're in a place like this" I pointed around the bar.

"What if I left then could I?" He stood up from the chair, and my lips parted. "What's your name?" I asked him, and he leaned on the bar. "Simon, yours?" His brown eyes catching the light as he looked at me.

"Wren" I pointed to the name tag and he nodded, now grinning himself. "First drink is free, nothing else" I told him, and he shurgged with a nod. He had the one drink, and I handed him a napkin with my number, and quickly walked to the back.

"When can we do this again?" He asked me, we both stood in front of my door. He had his arms crossed and I was fumbling with my keys. "Again?" I grinned and looked back at him.

"When ever you want" I shurgged. "Tomorrow" He spoke, and I laughed. "Really?" I asked suprised and he nodded. I stopped with my keys and looked up at him for a moment. "If you want" He tilited his head, and I blushed and nodded.

"I think I would like that alot, but I'm not seeing anymore horror movies" I pointed at him, and he chuckled. "Fair enough" He held his hands up.
-
There was a knock at my door, and I turned my head. I looked though the peep hole, and Simon was standing out there looking a little nervous as he rocked from ball to heel on his feet.

"Simon" I spoke as I opened the door, and he smiled as he saw me and went back to his normal crossed arm stance. "You just can't stay away" I hummed, and he only shurgged.

"Did you have any plans today?" He asked, and I looked at my watch. "I have a shift at 4" I told him. "Perfect, get dressed were goin out" He told me, and I nodded.

"Do you want to come in?" I asked him, and he paused for a moment, but then nodded. "Yeah, yeah" He rolled his shoulders and stepped inside my house.
-
I wiped my eyes as I stepped outside to have a ciggerette. My hands were shaking and I pulled my phone out to call Simon. "Are you alright, darlin?" He answered on the first ring, and I sniffed.

"Wren" He said my name, and I wiped my eyes. "Yeah I'm ok. I just wanted to hear your voice" I told him hosntly, and he was quiet for a moment. "I'm here. What happened?" He asked me, his tone already murderous.

"It was just a guy at work, he was a total dick. How is it my fault we don't carry some stupid beer that no one has ever heard of?" I threw my hand up and took a drag of my cig. I heard him chuckled lightly.

"What did he look like?" He asked, and I laughed wiping the rest of my tears away. "I just want to talk to you for a second, sorry I was all worked up" I told him, now feeling a little silly.

"Don't be sorry, getting a call from you is the best part of my day. When your crying is another story" He explained, and I smiled.

"Do you wanna come over tonight?" He asked me, and my heart fluttered. "Yes" I spoke, and I knew he was grinning on the other side. "Wonderful, You know where the key is, just shout so I know its you" He warned me, and I smiled.

I laid in bed with Simon, it was late at night, and for some reason my brain was not shutting off. I was a night owl now and forever, but this big babys bed time was at 7 no if ands or buts.

He had his usual deathgrip on me, like I was going to sneak out a window or somthing. "Si" I whispered, and he shifted in bed pulling me closer. "What is it?" His voice was just about a whisper, and it was to dark to see in here.
