Love for Eternity (Seth's Imprint)

Chapter 26

Dixie's POV:

"Hey Joey right?" (D)

"Yeah sweetheart that's me." (J)

"Jackson passed out." (D)

"Well shit, guess you do hold your liquor a bit better than him. Well I'll leave him until closing and then see if he'll wake up. Won't be the first time he's slept here."

I smile a bit before catching the eye of another guy that looks like he's in his early 30s maybe. I smile as I walk up to him, seeing his eyes trail over my body as I walk towards him. I may be dressed down but it doesn't stop him from smiling.

"Well hello there sexy. So Jackson couldn't take care of you properly huh?"

"Sadly he couldn't hold his liquior. Think you could?" (D)

"Course I can. Drinking scotch, that fine with you?"

"Course." (D)

I had another two drinks with the second guy, not even catching his name. I persuaded him to walk me outside in the ally before drinking from him. He walked back in a few minutes later, not remembering who I was before he paid his tab and caught a cab home. I was definately tipsy by this point but I felt better than I had in a while. I spot a third guy in the bar and I walked up next to him and saw his eyes become wide as I smiled at him.

"H-hi."

"Hey there sugar, wanna buy us some drinks?" (D)

"Y-yeah. Joey, nother round of gin and tonic."

"Cept make mine just the gin honey." (D)

I saw Joey look at me smiling as he heard my accent come through stronger than it had when I first got here. He sets down a large glass of just gin for me and another gin and tonic for this guy. I can only assume Joey likes my presence here because the guys have paid for all my drinks, which means more money for him. I toast with the guy, watching as his nerves start to fade as he drinks more.

He was definately the sweet and silent guy in high school, maybe even the nerd but he is holding his own with me right now. I start giggling as we talk and drink more, finding out we both love nice cars. He takes my hand and asks if I want to see his car, apparently it's a really nice Jaguar and I shake my head before we both down our drinks.

I follow him outside and parked right in front of the volvo I came in is a truly beautiful Jaguar. Even as tipsy as I am I'm able to admire the car, and I turn towards guy #3 and smile as he asks if I like it. I nod before I ask him if he wants to go back into the bar. He nods and we both stumble back into the bar a bit.

I take his hand and lead him over to a corner booth, making sure Joey is busy with another customer that walked in while we were outside, and that no one else is watching us right now. I had forgotten about my hour time stipulation as I persuaded this guy to ignore what I was doing, to imagine me kissing his neck instead. I feel my own mid start to grow fuzzy as I drink from him, stopping after a few sips. I laugh as I kiss him on the cheek before I walk over to the new guy at the bar.

"Hey there cutie, don't suppose you'd buy me a drink?" (D)

I see the guy turn toward me and I see the familiar look in his eyes that I've seen before. Not the shock or awe or happiness that he has a chance with me, but the look that means he's done things to a woman he shouldn't have in the past. He smiles and I see his yellow teeth as he orders a couple of Smirnoff shots, and I match him shot for shot for four rounds before I realize that I may be overdoing it this time.

I laugh some as the guy takes me to the back room this time, shutting the door as we walk in. I look to see Jackson still asleep on the first cushioned seat and I can't help but laugh. The guy sees what I'm laughing at and joins in with me before he moves closer behind me. He pulls my body flat across his before he starts to run his hands up and down my body. I feel the angel part of me beg to come out but I ignore it before I turn to face him. I stare into his eyes, watching as they glaze over just as easily as they did with the earlier three guys.

"You're not going to remember me after I leave this room, but you will always treat women the right way after tonight. Or it will feel like you've been kicked in the balls. Won't you?" (D)

I see him nod some before I smile up at him. I pull him closer to me, cutting his shoulder as I do, before I start drinking. He was drunker than he appeared and within a minute or two of drinking from him I feel as if the world is spinning. I lick the cut and pull away laughing before stumbling my way out of the door. I walk out of the back room before walking up to Joey at the counter. I pull a few bills out my boot and hand it to him.

"What's this for? All your drinks were paid for already." (Joey)

"I know, I never pay for drinks honey. This is strictly for being an amazing bar tender sugar. I haven't had this many good drinks in a long while, and you honey did purty good." (D)

"Well thanks, I can honestly say I hope to see you in here again." (Joey)

"Thanks sugar, I hope to come back soon. Now y'all have a good night." (D)

I felt myself struggle to make it out of the door of the bar, laughing at myself as the world spins around me. I didn't stop laughing until I felt a pair of hard cold hands grab my arm as I walked outside. I hissed for a moment until I looked up to see Bella as the one that grabbed me to stop me from falling. I laughed again as I stood and swayed some on my feet.
