Jake nodded and she said. "I guess this is the part were we let them be. "

"Yeah, cmon let's go get a drink. " he replied her and they left.

She looked down and waited for him to say something cause she wasn't going to say anything. He cleared his throat like he read her mind.
"Not really a fan of fashion, are you? "
She looked at him. "Today, was a hell of an adventure. Actually, I'm just coming from a dinner and all and I left my other clothes at home. Apparently, I'm stuck in this. But it's lovely, ain't it? "

"it is when it's used appropriately.....still you look very lovely in it. "
"Really? "
"Yea, what do you say about using the gown for an appropriate occasion. " She smiled as he gestured to the beer stand. They walked towards it and she answered. "What should we call this... Hmm a date? "

"Most likely ... I'll like to see it on you on an appropriate date. "
"Well, that will be nice but I'm quite a busy woman. "
"So, you busy on weekends also?"
" Let's just say I work by resting. "  he chuckled. "Cmon I don't accept turn downs. "
"Well, that's what the world is filled up with. " She smiled. Deep down she didn't want to leave his presence.

"I'll be back " He said and she nodded. He was in a black leather jacket with a black jean trouser. She took a deep breath and wondered why she was so interested in him. She couldn't even get her eyes off.

He got them two bottles and she smiled "How did you know I drink? " He chuckled and opened his and drank. " That dress isn't that deceptive. " she chuckled and drank too. "And you're friends with Jake. " he added.

"But I really don't appreciate guys that drink. " she said after taking a big gulp.
"So, it's just girls that are allowed to do so. "
"Apparently. " she laughed and he said.      " Actually, I don't drink. Just decided to drink this night cause it's been a while."

She smiled "Hmmm, impressive lie. You should be a great lawyer. "
He shook his head. " Good guess but not good enough. "
"What do you do then? "
"I'm an entrepreneur.. " She cut in quick.
"Hmmm, interesting. Well, I work in DEWS company.. Does it ring a bell? "

He drank from his bottle and nodded. " advertisement company. "
"Right. "
"Walsh and all?"
"Yeah. Correct. We arranged the dinner for him so.... "
"That's the reason why you are stuck in this. " she smiled at him. "So funny how we really are getting along. "

He nodded and she looked at his beer and noticed that his was not alcoholic. She wanted to commend him but then she wondered how he would be friends with a confirmed junkie like Jake and not be. Then, her smile drowned away and he noticed. "What's wrong? "
She shook her head. " Nothing much. Was just wondering how you met Jake... " A blonde drunk interrupted her and shook Ryan. "Hey, who's this? " he asked referring to Jane and she cleared her throat.

"A new..... " The guy bulged and staggered pouring  beer on her dress. She exclaimed and shifted. Ryan helped the guy stand well and he held his face. "You're really wasted man. Cmon get off here." The guy laughed and left them.

Ryan turned to her and noticed that she was already pissed. 'The crazy guy couldn't even apologize.' she thought.
" I am so sorry about that. " He said and she looked away. " it's all good. " she looked at the stained dress and got more annoyed.

"Well, I guess I'll be on my way now. "
Ryan hated himself right there. " I could just get a towel and wipe off the stain. "
" No. Don't worry about that. I'll do that in my house. "
He looked away and he looked back at her. "I could drive you home. "

"Sheesh.... A woman working in DEWS can't lack a car. "
She said and showed him her car keys. She smiled when she noticed how concerned he was. "it's alright Ryan..... " she said and looked into his eyes. She knew that he was disturbed about the stain but she had to leave. "I guess I'll be leaving now. " she said and left.

He took from his drink and put his hands in his black hair. He then realized that he didn't know her name. "shit!"
