ETHAN

I was pretty alone most of the time. Grayson is almost all I have, but he's preoccupied with Charlotte so I have gotten used to being by myself.

I decide to hit the bar after work because I have nothing better to do.

I don't come here every night, and I don't take home a random girl every time I'm here.

As I sit at the bar, a voice comes behind me, "This one's on me dude." It's my coworker, Harry.

"Hey man, thanks. Lonely night for you too?" I say to him.

"Eh, more like boring. But what's up with you? You should live a little more, still be going to clubs and shit. Have a whole life ahead of you to be already drinking at bars alone."

I look over at him, "How's the ex wife, Harry?"

He smirks, "You're funny. Anyways there's a hot blondie that's been eyeing you since I came over here."

I look over to see a beautiful blonde girl, pale, with brown eyes. I give her a smile and she waves, initiating me to come talk to her.

I pat Harry on the back, and go and talk to the girl.

Her name is Julie and she's a nurse at a pediatricians office. After several more drinks and her talking nonstop, we finally see it fit to take the conversation back to my one bedroom apartment.

Before leaving I look at Harry and give him a nod, and I notice in the corner of the bar someone familiar.

It's Charlotte. Grayson's Charlotte. She was with a couple friends and she was flirting with a guy, looked to be in his 30's.

I had to tell Grayson, but first..meaningless, drunk sex was on the menu.
