Q's P.O.V....
Half way back to my original hotel, anger still flowing through my body, I wanted nothing more than to block these emotions out. Coming across a bar on route, I decided to check the place out. If there was one way that I was going to drown out any feeling, it would always be my good old friend, alcohol.
"Whiskey, please" I said to the bartender whilst sitting down on a stool at the bar.
"Comin' right up" he said, proceeding to fill the glass. Sliding it over the wooden bar top into my grasp. "Let me guess, women troubles?" He laughed, trying to make light of my obvious bad mood.
"When is it not?" I continued the banter back.

Chugging the last of a cold beer, I was definitely starting to feel the affects of the booze. I scanned the bar, noticing a hot blonde at the opposite end of the bar drinking alone, wearing a tight revealing dress. I had picked my poison and decided to try my luck and introduce myself. Walking over, I slid onto the stool next to her, grabbing the bartenders attention once again.
"I'll have another beer, and whatever this lovely lady would like.." I added, looking towards the attractive female, one eyebrow raised suggestively.
"I'll take a white wine" she chirped, flashing a smile at me. The bartender served our drinks and I placed the glass of wine in front of her. "Why thank you. I'm brittany, by the way" she said, holding her hand out to me.
"Brian" I replied, shaking her hand.
"Well, Brian. It's nice to meet you, and thank you for the drink." She flashed her pearly white teeth once again.
"No problem. So what's a beautiful girl like you doing in a place like this alone?" I asked, not the most original pick up line in the book but it was always worth a shot.
"Actually, I was here with my boyfriend.." she said, gritting her front teeth.
"Oh, damn. My bad. Is he still here?" I asked, looking around hoping to not find a guy of a much bigger build than me waiting to kick my ass.
"I should hope not, we just broke up. I found out that he cheated with my best friend" she answered.
"That's unfortunate." I empathized. Well pretended to anyway. She was just a girl in a bar, I had no intentions of getting to know her life story, or her in general. People alone at bars were only there for one thing. "Well how about I get you another drink, but something a little stronger this time, to make sure that you forget his dumb ass?"
"That sounds beyond good"

"I can't believe that you used to be a firefighter, that's so hot!" Brittany slurred, grabbing onto my arm. "Did you save any people?"
I mean..of course I did, that was kind of the job. But with girls like this, not having any sense of intellectual brain power was usually the status quo.
"The odd few" I replied sipping my drink.
"That's amazing. You're such a good man, I wish I could see you in your outfit, holding your hose" she smacked her hands against her mouth. "Oh well that sounded a lot different than it did inside my head! Not that I wouldn't want to see both, I mean, what?" She asked, elbows on the bar now palming her face.
I definitely was not as drunk as this woman, but it was always better than being alone.
"You're pretty cute when you're flustered" I stifled out a laugh.
"Aw! you really think so?" her volume now getting noticeably louder. I just nodded. "You're so sweet!" she beamed, kissing my cheek a couple of times before planting the same quick peck on my lips. "Do you wanna go back to my place and have some more drinks?" she asked.
