A Dozen Roses(A Skylox Fanfic)

Chapter 7 Whiskey Tap

Sky POV

The whiskey Tap was a bar a few towns way. Between the city I worked in and the city Deadlox stayed in. A fifty-fifty distance. Plus they served great whiskey here, hence it being in the name.

It was 12:06 when I walked in. Better late than never. I was decked out in a pair of faded denim jeans, a black and grey plaid button up shirt and my sunglasses I hardly wore unless i was working down in some of the southern states where the sun shines a hell of a lot brighter.

Deadlox was there at the bar waiting for me. His back to the door but I knew he heard me come in. He was in a pair of black jeans and a white shirt that i knew was a v-neck. I watched him for a moment as he leaned back in his chair sipping the martini in his hand slowly; before i started over and sat in the chair next to him.

"Whiskey Tall." i called down to the bartender who gave me a thumbs up and turned to make my drink. Deadlox didn't even lift his head and instead swirled his finger around in the brim of his glass.

"You're late." He murmured taking a sip of his drink before setting it on the counter and turning to look at me. I met his careless gaze and held it watching as his eyes searched my face for some kind of sarcasm.

"Traffic's bad" i offered causing him to snort a laugh, "Why are we here Deadlox?"

I actually knew why we were here. But saying something over video chat and face to face with someone are to different things.Now don't get me wrong I agree with everything we've said over video chat. A large chunk of me wants to break every single bone in his bone and strangle him with his own intenstines and all.

The other half is the side that just drives me insane! It's him that makes it this way. That other half of me that just wants to slam him into the nearest wall, pin his arms to his side, and kiss him until my mouth is sore. It's that god damn perfect hair, and curiously different coloured eyes!

"Do reveal our undying love for one another?" He exclaimed laughing and taking another long drink. The bartender brought me down my drink and i sipped it gradually.

"I don't know about love but there's something going on between us that neither of us know." i said shooting him my famous cocky grin. "Unless this is all some shitty trap and your gonna shoot me."

He threw his head back and let out a howl of laughter. He held out his arms as if to say 'go ahead and check me for a weapon' then decided against it and put them down.

"I've never lied to you Adam. Avoided the truth yes. But i don't lie it's against my code of honor" i raised my eyebrows at him, "What? It's something i made up myself when i was young. I wont lie to anyone no matter the situation. Not speaking or changing the topic isn't lieing."

"So everything you've ever said to me is the truth?" Deadox nodded and downed the rest of his martini before spinning his bar stool to look at me. i could feel his eyes roaming over me.

"Come on. It's crowded here." He placed a twenty dollar bill on the counter and stood up grabbing my arm and pulling me with him. He was a bit shorter than me but he was stronger and more willed. I let him pull me out of the bar and towards his car before it occured to me.

What was going on? We had met before and nothing like this had ever happened! We susually spent the entire time bickering and arguing and trying to get the other to pay for drinks. Plus where was he planning on taking me?

"Deadlox where are we going?" I asked as he climbed in the drivers seat of the car, i stood outside the passenger door, leaving it open.

"Just trust me." He started the car and gave me a look, "Well? Are you coming?" I don't know what possessed me at that second but i got in the car and shut the door behind me. Deadlox gave a wild grin and started driving.

"So where are we going?" I asked.

"My Place"
