As I was cleaning up and taking care of closing tabs, another man appeared at the bar. It was the vampire from the night before. He was staring at me while he sat down on a stool.
"Hey, bourbon on the rocks." He took his jacket off and placed it on the table, his arms were very defined. He caught me gazing, I looked away and turned around to look for the bourbon.
"What brand?"
"Don't care, surprise me"
"Umm... okay."
I pulled out a glass and put some ice in it. I'm not familiar with brands at all. There were so many bottles on the shelf behind me, I had no idea which ones were good. Hesitating, I grabbed the first one in front of me on the shelf and poured enough in the glass to cover the ice and slid it over to him. He caught the glass in his hand while keeping his eyes locked on me, he knew I didn't know anything about bartending. I started to wipe the bar with a wet cloth to try and look busy as he sipped his drink watching me. The silence was so uncomfortable, I wanted to shrivel up and die.
"I think you owe me an apology," He looked at me while taking another sip.
Is he messing with me right now? I scoffed and looked up at him after staring at the countertop for what felt like ages. "Um, for what exactly? Not saying hi to you last night? I don't know if this is news to you, but staring at a woman in a bar isn't going to get you laid"
