The 5 Steps of Running Dry (Soul Punk)

Step 1: Drink

(Your POV)
~~~
I got out of my car and started walking to the bar, hoping it won't be too crowded today. I sighed lightly then when I got to it, the guy didn't notice. That's kinda odd. I shrugged and went(z) inside The building.

It was only kind of crowded to be honest, and it wasn't what I was expecting. I walked over to the bartender and sat down on a stool carefully. Someone next to me took notice of my presence and waved a bit.

I waved back to the guy and smiled slightly, after a few minutes I ordered my drink and leaned back. I looked back at the guy next to me and started to try at a conversation, "So, what're you doing here?" I asked.

"I usually come here when I'm not doing anything, or I just wanna have a drink with friends. What about you?" He replied with a big smile. Is it just me or does he look really cute? I leaned my arm on the table and answered him.

"Yeah, I do the same mostly. I just don't have anywhere fun to go anymore." I said back. His expression softened and he sat up straight, "You don't?" He asked, I only nodded.

Five minutes later, our drinks finally came and we both downed them at the same time. I glanced back at the man and grinned, "Hey, I didn't get your name." I pointed out. "Oh, right. It's Patrick." He leaned back against the table and ran a hand through his bleach blonde hair.

"That's a nice name," I remark, and he mutters a small "Thanks". "I'm (Y/N)." I say and try to get closer with him. He leans into it and nearly closes the gap between us.

But he doesn't.

"Its nice to meet you, (Y/N)." Patrick says and starts to get up. I nod quietly then notice that he starts leaving, and start to say something, "Wait!" I say, and that gets his attention back to me.

"Can I have your number?" I respond to my own exclamation, smooth (Y/N), smooth.

He only grins a bit and replies by digging out a piece of paper with his phone number on it, "Sure." He walks back out of the bar, leaving me with the heat running to my face. He was really nice and cute.
