Bleed, Patch, And Keep Moving - An Apex Legends Story

Chapter 5 - Fun With a Stranger

Ajay was almost on her ass if it were not for whoever she so blindly ran into. They were holding her up by her hands, saving her from making an even bigger fool of herself than she already was. In one swift motion she felt the stranger pull her up into a standing position. Ajay was too inebriated to stand as she was pulled up to her feet.

As soon as she stood up she immediately fell face first into the stranger's chest. Again she felt the stranger steady her but all she could do was lean into the chest of the stranger. If it wasn't for the drugs and alcohol she might have turned and scattered into the wind, but her brain was still processing what had just happened. The sudden scent of citrus, she inhaled from the stranger's chest, distracted her from any thoughts of running away from embarrassment. The smell was oddly refreshing and soothing at the same time.

She awkwardly straightened her body, as it would let her. She used the stranger's chest to balance herself as she got herself back into some sort of order. She could feel a set of hands on her upper back, supporting her. She could feel warmth rush over her face when she felt the stranger's hands on her body. She couldn't tell if her flush face was from the alcohol or embarrassment that finally snuck up on her, or if it was from both; it was probably both.

Her eyes slowly moved up the stranger's chest. Something seemed familiar as she looked over the stranger. "That same yellow shirt from the bar." She noticed that he had a beard and mustache, rich brown in color. She then noticed that he was flashing her a very sweet smile. Her eyes finally met his and they locked in his gaze for a moment. His eyes were deep brown and she was drowning in their endless color; so much so that she almost forgot how to breathe.

"Ar... Ar... Are you okay Miss?" As she listened to him stammer over his words all she could think was, "How cute is he." She watched his body language, which seemed so self-assured but his speech seemed a bit nervous. "Is he just as embarrassed as me?" She just stared at him as she tried to find her own words to answer him. He was definitely easy on the eyes in her opinion.

There was a moment of udder, awkward silence before Ajay finally snapped out of the trance that he had her in. Her eyes gazed down towards her hands that were still upon his chest. She nodded as dazed smile spread across her lips, "I'm fine. Thank yuh." She was finally able to look back up at him. She felt his hands relax and move down her back just a little; enough to send wonderful chills up and down her spine. Everything felt more enhanced when drugs and alcohol were involved.

She watched him continue to smile at her and then she heard him sigh before speaking, "Good. I would hate to see you get hurt." He seemed to pause like he was thinking of something else to say. Unexpectedly he changed the subject, "I saw you." He seemed to pause again for just a moment. "At the bar." She could feel his hands moving again, they were now on the lower part of her back. Her body ached for him to move his hands just a tad lower but he didn't. "I have never seen anyone so beautiful before in my life. I couldn't take my eyes off of you."

She moved a little closer into him, her lack of inhibition made it easier to be open with a complete stranger; who just so happened to be saying all of the right things to her. Ajay smiled effortlessly at him, "I noticed." Her body seemed to get a little weak as she noticed him leaning his face down towards hers while moving his hands further down her backside. His hands gently cupped her ass while she fought back a moan by pressing her tongue against the back of her teeth.

His breath was warm against her face as he moved even closer to her. His face was almost connected to hers as he closed the gap between them. His lips looked so soft and inviting. She raised a finger up to his lips and pushed his face back just a little bit, just enough so that she could see him better. She watched as the look of worry sunk into eyes and washed over his face.
