It's my birthday today. And I'm alone... again. Not that I don't mine it's just... after everything I hoped my brothers wouldn't be as busy but I can't blame them, and I don't have custody of the kids so I'm alone. I'm in a club currently and it's about 8p.m. right now with people beginning to stream in most of them college kids right now really. About an hour or so passes while I just sit at the bar, drinking whiskey as I watch the crowds of college students and the occasional drunk filter in and out of the club.
I damn near choke on my drink when a woman, maybe about twenty-one walks into the bar. She's wearing a pink top that fell off her shoulders with short blue jean shorts and black thigh-high heeled boots making her around 6'3. She was naturally tan with blond hair braided to her lower back and absolutely stunning blue eyes. And the best part? She has muscle that was clearly clearly defined by the glitter she was wearing and the way the thigh-highs wrap around her calf and thighs.
I'm snap-back to reality when I hear the older bartender snort behind me and I quickly face the bar again, blushing like a tomato.
"If I were you buddy, don't go for it." I look at him, confusion all over my face.
"What do you mean?" He gestures with his head behind me and I turn to see the woman parting with her two friends to go over to the bar. I pause in confusion before the heat on my face rises as I realize what he was talking about. I quickly turn back to face him, words falling from my mouth at a rapid pace.
"I-I w-wasn't- I-I'm n-n-not- n-no-"
"Whatever you say kid, I'm just letting you know, I've known that girl since she was five and she bites the head off of almost every guy she meets." He says in a bored tone. Well now it's a challenge. I look back at her seeing her order something before I turn back to look at the bartender who still had this bored look on his face. I take a deep breath and down the rest of my whiskey before getting and walking to the woman.
She gets her drink and I can see the bartender serving her give me a look of pity as he walks away. I take another deep breath before approaching her, praying that the whiskey keeps its effects.
"U-um, hey there." Smooth Brody. I see her hand tighten on her glass lightly as it rests in front of her mouth. Shit.
She looks at me out of the corner of her eye, I can see now that her eyes are a midnight blue with flecks of gold(?) in them.
"Can I help you?" I feel my heart jump into my throat.
'Holy shit her voice is gorgeous.' Focus Chase, you can do this.
"I-I was wondering i-if this s-seat was taken?" Goddammit.
She looks me up and down her eyes narrowed slightly before she nods a bit and takes a gulp of her drink. I quickly sit down and almost immediately the bartender sets down a glass of whiskey for me. I mutter a quick "Thank you" before I take a quick drink from it. I take another deep-breath before asking,
"What's your name?" Oh thank god. Wait fuck. She set down her drink to look at me, she was obviously confused but I have no idea why. She looks over me and I fight back a blush when she does and when she's done she almost seems to relax.
"Liru. My name is Liru." Her voice is definitely softer now and it makes my heart beat faster.
"You?"
"Huh? Oh! Chase. I'm Chase Brody." I'm blushing again, now more of embarrassment than anything. Her lips quirk slightly as she goes back to her drink and Oh my god why am I feeling this way.
