We take our seats and I can feel Jack looking at me.
"So looks like my sister will be out of your hair soon" Trevor says with light laughter quickly following
"Shut it jerk" Jamie says smacking him in the back of the head.
"Oh she's no bother, I love having her around. My building is filled with old people that hardly ever leave so it's nice having the company" I smile and take a sip of my drink.
I glance up and see that Jack is staring at me.
I quickly look down and take another sip of my drink.
"Lola here works at the cafe by your house" Jamie says to Jack with a smirk on her face.
I kick her leg under the table and she chokes on her drink then slips into laughter as I stare wide eyed shooting daggers at her.
I know what she's doing. She always tries to hook me up with her brothers friends. I really don't need a man, I'm so busy with work and besides I need to focus on me for once.
Jack smiles and drinks the rest of his beer as he stands keeping eye contact with me until he turns to head to the bar.
All the sudden my phone starts ringing and before I can say hello to the person on the line I get an ear full "Lola! You left your god damn clothes in the washer and I need to use them!"
I roll my eyes recognizing the voice as my grouchy neighbor Linda.
"Sorry I'll get them-"
"Don't be long I need to wash these quilts I just bought from a garage sale"
"Okay Linda I'm out right now but I'm about to be on my way ba-"
"Good" she states and hangs up the phone before I can get another word in.
"Well I've got to go guys, thanks for the invite and congrats again Jamie" I say while standing up from my seat.
" why are you leaving you just got here" She says with a pout
"I put laundry in before I left and my crazy neighbor just called saying she needs to wash quilts, so I have to go take care of that" I tell her rolling my eyes
"Well don't wait up for me, Trevor is throwing a party tonight so I'll be back late" Jamie winks and gives me a hug
I turn to leave and come in contact with a brick wall. Then I suddenly realize it's Jack and I've just spilt his drink all over him.
"Oh my god I am so sorry!" I say horrified that I just did that
He starts to chuckle as he unbuttons his flannel shirt and removes it leaving him in a crisp white t-shirt.
I can't help but stare. Wondering what it looks like under that next layer of clothing.
"I-uh- I'm sorry let me buy you another drink" I manage to speak out of my embarrassed state.
I go to walk past him and he grabs my arm. I turn to face him and I'm lost when our eyes meet. He has the most beautiful eyes. The silence breaks when he says
"Don't worry about it, just give me your number and we'll forget this happened"
I'm sure my face is bright red by now. And I'm lost for words. I don't really wanna start talking to anyone right now but how can I say no. It's like that word is now foreign to me as I stare in his eyes.
"What do ya say?" He snaps me out of my thoughts.
"Uh- I - umm"
He leans in close to my ear and I can feel his breath tickle my neck as he speaks. Sending goosebumps down my entire body.
"I don't bite"
Before I do anything more to embarrass myself I decide to grab a napkin off the table and jot down my number.
I extend my hand and he grabs the napkin gliding his hand over mine and again a shock wave of energy surges in my body.
"Sorry again" i shyly say.
He just smiles and sends me a wink.
I couldn't run out of that bar fast enough! How embarrassing!
I'm mentally cursing myself all the way to my car.
I finally reach my apartment building and head into the laundromat to find Linda throwing my clothes from the wash onto the folding table.
What an impatient lady.
She throws her quilts in the wash and storms past me not saying a thing.
Well okay then..jeeze.
I finish putting my clothes in the dryer and head up to my apartment.
I throw my bag and keys on the counter and head into the bathroom.
Removing my clothes I step into the shower and I'm flooded with horrible flashbacks of the embarrassing event that took place earlier.
Of course I had to spill a drink on the hot guy! Just my luck.
After a long steamy shower I head into my room and put on some yoga pants and a loose T-shirt.
Before I get to comfy on the couch I need to put my phone on the charger so I have an alarm for work in the morning.
Strolling over to the counter I grab my bag and begin to dig for my phone. After dumping the contents onto the counter I don't find it. Great!
Then there's a knock on my door.
I don't think to look through the peep hole before opening it and the next thing I know I'm face to save with Jack.
