Davoli's Proposal

Hunting Ghosts

After weeks of not finding anything on Mr. Davoli she decides to go out to drink her thoughts away.

She asks her friend and secretary, Amanda , to go with her in some club she heard that Mr. Davoli goes often.

-So this is about work again? Amanda asks suspiciously.

-Not exactly, i want to get drunk but if there is a chance finding something about the case is just a win win situation. I say but Amanda glares at me.

-So it is about work. She says as a statement.

-Fine, it is,but can you blame me? I can't understand why i can't find anything on that man. Is like a ghost. It frustrates me. I say pissed off

-It's okay Hays, if you can't find anything we just could get really drunk and talk about it on our way home. Amanda says pityfully.

-Yeah,maybe this night will be good. I say a little bit sad.

As we arrive in the club, we just sit at the bar, a few tables that are around are full, so it's the best option so far.

- What can i get you, pretty ladies? the bartender asks as i search the crowd with my eyes.

-Piña Colada, Amanda says.

-And for this beauty with blue eyes?

-I'll just have a martini. I say as i return to face the bartender.

He is a very handsome man, green eyes, strong build, maybe I could have some fun tonight. I thought looking in his eyes until he left to make our drinks.

-He is cute. I say to Amanda

-I've heard you say that ,almost never, I'm in shock. Amanda says and Igiggle.

-He just caught my eye. I say shyly.

-OMG this is big, you have to find a man, for god's sake, you are are successful 25 years old lawyer. You need a man asap. This could be awesome. As Amanda finishes her last word the bartender comes back with our drinks.

-Thank you. I say looking him in the eyes.

-You welcome , beautiful. If I'm not impolite, may I ask what is your name? He asks and I'm the one in shock now.

-Umm.. Haylee, Haylee Williams. I say

-I'm Michael De Luca, a pleasure. He says and I blush. I never blush.

The pleasure is mine, I say as we exchange a few looks between us.

He leaves to serve another clients, and when he turns his back , I see a little tattoo on his neck, and my mood immediately changes.

The head of a goat, the Davoli emblem, is well printed on his neck, and my breath hitched.

Amanda notices my mood has changed, and ask me what's wrong.

-He has the tattoo. I say in a whisper. And Amanda's eyes widen.

-We should leave. She says, but I have no intention in leaving right now.

-You can go, but I have to stay, I can get close to him and find something. I say bluntly

-Hays, please, this could be dangerous. She says still whispering.

-Amanda, I'll be fine, the club is full , he won't hurt me here. I reassure her.

-Fine, but I'm afraid , and I feel bad about leaving you here alone.

-I'll be fine, you know me. I reassure her again.

She shoot me a disapproving look and then she stood and walked out of the club.

As I watched her leave, a voice pulled me out of trance.

-So, now is just you and me I presume? Michael says as I look at him questionably

He notices that my mood is different from earlier and he stays quiet awhile , while I try to not look suspicious I came up with a lie.

-Yeah, my friend and I just had a little argument, maybe a little more alcohol could help me change my mood. I say seductively.

-I can help you with that, he says as seductively as me.

-In that case, whisky with rocks. I say and he looks at me in a bit of shock.

-Coming right up, he says and then he speaks again, I would never thought that you are a whisky with rocks girl.

-My appearance says nothing about me. I'm not what i look like . I say and Mike watches me as I take a sip from my drink

-I'm a bartender, it is my work not to judge people. He says as I watch him cleaning the bar.

-I understand. I pause then I speak again. There is something interesting to do in here? I ask.

- Not so much, only drunk people trying to get laid. But I can help you get rid of the boredom. He says seductively

- At what time you get off work? I ask. Thinking I'm not in my right mind.

- I can leave whenever I want , I'm friends with the owner. He winks at me .
