infatuated

two

Archie and Tyler headed to the bar, his  friend Sam following closely behind. Once they sat down, a younger gentleman approaches them from behind the bar, quickly taking whatever orders it was that they wished for. Once he walked away Tyler looks over at Archie. "So now you have your own bartender?" He asks as Archie nods with a smile, just before he stands up walking behind Tyler. "Lovely for you to join us!" He exclaims, Tyler spinning around on his barstool. He sees Paige, Archie's daughter walking over in her bathing suit. Mentally, his jaw was on the f*cking floor. She was beautiful, had gorgeous eyes that could pierce the soul and long black hair. Paige hugs Archie, rolling her eyes while letting out a laugh. "Sorry dad, I was on the phone." She says as she pulls away, Archie quickly pulling her over to the bar.

"I would like you guys to meet my beautiful daughter, Paige." He says with a proud smile on his face. Tyler had to quickly gather himself, reaching out his hand. "Hi Paige, I'm Tyler. It's really nice to meet you." He says as Paige takes his hand shaking it, making eye contact with his as she smirks. "Hi Tyler," She says clearly repeating him, "It's really nice to meet you as well." She says as she holds the hand shake for a couple seconds too long, before pulling her hand away. She makes her rounds meeting a few other men from Archie's job, before circling back to where Tyler and Archie were sat. "Am I allowed to drink on this lovely occasion, dad?" She asks with a grin, clearly trying to get him to say yes. Archie sighs softly before nodding his head, "Only a few, okay?" He says as Paige clasps her hand together, smiling. "Okay, thank youuu." She says before going to the other side to get the bartender's attention, pulling her upper body up on the bar, leaning over slightly and giving him her order. Tyler's eyes wander over, watching her as she does, his eyes traveling down her body before looking over at Archie.

"So um.. How old is she?" He asks, taking a swig of his beer in attempt to be nonchalant about the question. "She just turned 18 about a week ago. Graduated about a month ago as well. Why are you trying to get with her?" He says laughing, clearly joking. Tyler shakes his head quickly, almost spitting out his drink. "No absolutely not." He says, as Archie laughs again. "Tyler, I'm just kidding." He says, Paige coming back around with a cocktail as well as a shot in her hands. She stands by a seat right next to Tyler, looking up at him. "Is this seat taken?" She asks softly, Tyler shaking his head, quickly standing up and setting her drinks down for her before pulling the barstool out for her. Paige takes a seat, smiling as she does. "Thank you Tyler." She says, looking back over at him as he sits down as well.

Archie looks over, noticing Paige already had a decent amount to drink, shaking his head. "That's already quite a bit Paige, you can have one more and that's it." He says sternly as Paige nods in agreement. He then gets up to greet more people, Paige taking her shot before looking over at Tyler. "He's a fool if he thinks I won't sneak more than that." She says laughing, Tyler smiling over at her. "I won't tell." He says softly making eye contact with her. "You better not." She says smirking.

"So where's your wife? My dad talks about you often, so I know you have one." She says sipping out of her cocktail now. Tyler sighs softly, shrugging his shoulders. "She's not too keen on meeting new people. I mean.. most of the time. She's kinda a home body I guess." He says softly, trying to push back the thought of her affair. "She's already kind of pissed I'm here. Which is normal, I honestly try to stay out of the house at this point." He says taking a swig of his beer. Paige laughs, shifting her body towards him to talk. "So she can cheat on you, but you can't go out?" She says looking at Tyler. Tyler is taken aback, his mouth dropping open. "How the f*ck do you know about that?" He asks, Paige shrugging. "Word spreads quick. My dad was talking about it. You guys don't have any kids though right?" She asks, Tyler just shaking his head. "She doesn't want any." Paige nods slowly, furrowing her eyebrows, "So why do you stay?" She asks, Tyler tilting his head. "I don't know... I guess I just thought she would be the same but she changed. A lot." Paige smirks a bit, turning her body back to the bar. "I see." She says staring off, before downing her cocktail and climbing down off her stool. "I'll see you around." She says with her smirk still on her face before she walks away.
