Phoenix

I walked into the AA meeting, casually sitting down in the back of the room and hoping no one noticed my new look. I'd thrown on a pair of black short shorts and a red sleeveless, letting my blood red hair flor freely.
"Niko! Meet the new guy!" Mally squealed, dragging a tall guy in a nice blue suit over. "Nice outfit by the way!"

"Th- Thanks." I whispered, looking at the floor.

"Come on Cat! Look at him!" She said. "Don't be rude!"

I hesitantly looked up and froze, getting lost in the mans deep purple eyes and pitch black hair. "H- Hi."

"Wow." He whispered, staring at me.

We made eye contact and I quickly looked away, shaking his hand. "I'm Niko."

He pressed a kiss to the back of my hand, smiling. "I'm Phoenix. Pleasure to meet you."
