The Alpha Bartender

Chapter 5

I immediately call Chrissy the moment I get home and tell her what happened. She screams down the phone and tells me she will be over in 40 minutes and to shave, shower and everything else you do for a date.

I did have to laugh about the shaving. She knows me. I have never gone all the way with a man. I have done everything except s*x. Something always stops me I could be really turned on but then something in my head stops me. I think its because I am worried about connecting to someone too much and having to tell them the truth about my personality disorder. But, I shave regardless.

As if by magic and exactly 40 minutes later Chrissy arrives.

She starts helping me choose what to wear and does my hair for me. I have naturally light blonde hair that often in the right light has a purple hue, she styles it in my signature half up hald down do but with a little more bounce to the curls.

We decide on a black dress, because you can never go wrong with a black dress. It hugs me in all the right places and leaves enough for the imagination. No matter what I wear though I can not hide my cleavage, I have always had large breasts and was mocked heavily in school. That was until we got older and the boys noticed it in a more s****l way. I decide to wear a green contact tonight just so my make up matches. We go for a all over pale shimmer with a thick black winged liner. And I was feeling a little bold I put on a blood red lipstick to finish the look. I was probably way over dressed but I did feel amazing.

‘My work here is done’ Chrissy states proudly.

‘Thank you so much for this’ I give her a hug.

‘Pfft. This is what besties are for. Now I have put some condoms in your bag along with a toothbrush and toothpaste capsules’

‘Chrissy!! I am not that kind of girl’ I shout.

‘You my dear have never once worried so much about a man. I can see it in your eyes. You never know where the moon might take you tonight’

I roll my eyes. She uses that as she knows I have a weird obsession with the moon. I look at the clock and see it is 7.15pm I am so nervous so I down a glass of Rose’, not my favourite but a staple in a pinch.

Chrissy waits with me. At exactly 7.30pm my buzzer goes off, making Chrissy squeal with excitement. I grab my bag and shawl and head out kissing Chrissy goodbye. She is going to lock up with my spare key for me.

I head down the stairs and take a deep breath as I open the communal doorway. I look and he is there, in a jet black suit that is more than likely more than my months’ salary, he looks mouth-watering. He is leaning against a car, which I don’t even know the model to, but it also looks expensive. I suddenly feel self-conscious in my simple black dress.

He is just looking at me, his eyes darkening.

‘Hi’ I mumble fiddling with my wrap.

‘You look stunning Lex. Absolutely delicious’ He growls

I feel myself warm up not only blushing but also other parts of my body are flushed. And for some reason I think he knows it. He opens the passenger door and helps me in. Walking round to the drivers side he jumps in. I fasten my seat belt at the same time as him and our faces almost collide.

I giggle ‘I am sorry, I can be awkward at times’

He grabs my face and looks me in the eyes ‘That giggle is worth every bit of awkwardness we will have. Why have you covered up your interesting eyes though’ He adds.

‘Oh, erm just habit I guess. Like I said it stops a lot of pointing and being asked about it’

‘I think it is beautiful and where we are going you don’t have to worry about anyone looking’ He smiles at me before pulling away.

‘So where are we going for dinner’ I probe

‘You will see’ He winks at me.

I sit there watching the cars go past and the sun set further. We reach somewhere along the Thames and I am a little bit nervous when I see we are going to be going on a boat.

‘Erm, Dan. Are we going on that boat there’ I point to the boat lit up like a fairy tale.

‘Yes Lex. This is one of my boats. I had one of the best chefs bought in to cook for us as we sit watching the Thames flow by’

‘oh. Erm. Ok. You’re not like some serial killer that lures women in and then chops them up or something’

He lets out the most gorgeous sounding laugh I can not help but smile.

‘No, there will be no chopping’ He says and jumps out the car and walks round to help me out.

He holds my hand and whispers ‘I plan to worship your body. Not dismember it’

I think I may faint. I have never been turned on this much.

He leads me onto his boat, and sure enough on the main deck is a dinner table set up, candles, wine and even a bunch of flowers.

He pulls out a chair for me and then takes a seat opposite. A waiter comes out, and pours us a glass of wine and informs us our starter will be out momentarily.

I look around the boat, it is stunning, not something that is usually on the Thames. We aren’t moving and seem to be staying stationary. That does put me at ease. Looking around and seeing the bar, the lights and the sofa, I can’t help but wonder if he brings a lot of woman here. I mean he is gorgeous. This thought for some reason makes the voice in my head growl, I realised too late I also did it audibly.

He must have heard because he is staring intently at me and has a small smile just on the corner of his lips. Goddess I need to stop looking at them, I am making myself all flustered.

I look up into his eyes, and to be honest that isn’t much better. So I take a large gulp of wine.

‘What are you thinking about Lex’ he asks

‘Oh nothing, just random thoughts’ I say swallowing another gulp of wine. Thank goddess for my alcohol intolerance.

‘I like random thoughts, tell me what yours are about’

‘Oh goddess, well just this is lovely. More than I thought it would be. Just you’re a little out of my league, wondered how many women you bring on this boat’

‘You are not out of my league. And you must know. You’re the first’

Well danm, I can tell he is being truthful I think to myself.

‘Sorry, just a thought. And you did ask’ I respond with a little smirk.

He laughs. ‘I do wonder, you seem to say oh goddess a lot. Are you Wiccan or some sort’

‘Oh no. Its strange I just have always said it. Since I can remember. Which to be fair is only the last 11 years’ I say with a chuckle. Which I can tell he knows doesn’t quite reach my soul.

Our starter comes of battered calamari with some sort of dip. I start to eat immediately and oh my it is the best thing that I have ever eaten. I am not sure what the dip is but it is pure heaven. After our starter the waiter comes to take our plates and asks us how we would like our steaks.

‘Oh I love steak. Rare. Bloody the better’ I say not realising Dan hasn’t spoken yet.

‘I will take mine the same’ He says’

The waiter leaves and he continues

‘You surprise me Lex, thought you might be a well done kind of woman’

‘Ha, see now I have to have some mystery to me as well’ I giggle back

‘That you do Lex. That you do’ He say’s this with a weird expression on his face, it only lasts for a meer moment but I catch it.

We continue with our dinner in a comfortable back and forth of questions, learning a bit more about each other. Our steak is served and it is the most mouth watering steak I have ever tasted. I think I let out several moans during the course which is eaten in pure silence, I am just too busy eating this delicious meat. Hmm, wonder if I could eat his delicious meat. OMG did I just think that. I can feel my cheeks burn.

He is laughing so he must have noticed.

‘What’s got you all flustered Alexandra’

Ahh the way he say’s my full name.

‘Nothing, nothing this is just really good. Thank you so much’ I quickly say.

The waiter clears our table and I take a sip of water, I am so full.

‘We have a couple choices of dessert when you’re both ready’ the waiter announces before he takes leaves

‘I really don’t know if I could eat it, not right now. I am so full’ I tell Dan

‘That’s ok. Would you like another drink from the bar that is not wine’ He asks.

I look over to the fully stocked bar and have an idea.

‘Well you have been so kind to give me this amazing meal, why don’t I make you one of my popular cocktails’

‘Hmm, not really a cocktail kinda guy but I would love to taste something of yours’ He say’s this and I can tell there is a double meaning there but I ignore it.

I head to the bar and get to work, he joins me and sits at the bar itself and I can feel his eyes on me as I mix, stir and shake. As I am doing the latter I do notice his eyes look down at my chest, he has that dark glint appearing. I focus on my tasks. In the matter of 10 minutes I have a shot and cocktail each for us. I slide his over to him, eagerly waiting for his critique.

‘And what are they called’ He asks.

‘That is a shot of Wolfsbane and that is Moon Goddess Cocktail. Apparently they go well together’ As I say this I see him visibly flinch and I start to panic. ‘You really don’t have to drink them if you don’t want to’ I say in a hurry but I think he can tell my voice is panicking.

‘Well, you got to try everything once. Bottoms up’ He downs the shot. He waits a few moments and then takes a sip of his cocktail.

‘Oh wow!’ Is all he say’s staring at me in what seems to be disbelief.

I can’t help but giggle. ‘The shot made you go warm all over and then the cocktail made you go cold but in a blissful way’ I say.

‘Yeah, that was incredible’ he say’s and looks back at his cocktail.

‘It’s what everyone say’s when they have them’ I smile at him

We take our drinks and head to the seating area, I have always been a warm person so even in the evening of London I don’t feel cold. I just wrap my shawl around me, more out of comfort.

‘Are you cold Lex?’ He asks noticing my actions.

‘Oh no, to be honest I am rarely cold. Just enjoying the evening. Lucky we have no rain tonight’ I smile back at him

As we sit there seeming to relax in each others company the waiter returns to ask if we would a dessert yet.

‘Dessert Lex?’ Dan asks

‘No thank you, the dinner was so delicious, please thank the chef for me’ I tell him and the waiter.

‘We are good, thank you Stewart’ Dan say’s to the waiter.

‘Do you not want dessert’ I ask him

I knew exactly what he was thinking at the precise moments because his eyes went extremely dark within and instant. And I knew I could not stop the blush that appeared across my face. I can also not deny I had the same thoughts too, which in turn made me wet in all the right places.

‘Would you like to go back to my private quarters, to get to know each other better’ He spoke with such s*x appeal and I could not help but nod my head.

He takes my cocktails and places it on the table along with his own and takes my hand. He leads me to the back of the boat and down some steps, we head into a bedroom. This bedroom was better than my own! Oh how the other half live. Looking over at the bed I get a sudden wave of nerves, that I think he could sense because he asks me if I am ok.

‘Oh, I am fine. I do er, have a confession’ I say shyly

‘You can tell me anything Lex’ He says cracking his head to the side

‘Well, erm, I mean I know I a 21 and I by no means am a prude, in fact I am pretty open minded. But, erm well I haven’t exactly gone all the way before. Like I have done most things with a man. Even tried it with a girl but never you know erm’ I ramble on

He walks up to me so we are practically nose to nose.

‘You don’t have to explain to me Lex. Besides, I wasn’t planning on burying my d**k inside you just yet. Tonight, as I said earlier. I don’t plan on dismembering you. I plan on worshipping you’ He say’s with determination before smashing his lips into mine.

The fireworks that explode from our lips touching are like nothing I have ever felt before. He growls ever so slightly, making me open my mouth. Before I can react his tongue is getting to know mine with vigour.

We kiss deeply for what felt like eternity, before we came up for air.

‘Mmm, your mouth is perfect’ He say’s staring at me in the eyes

I giggle as a response I can not seem to form words

‘Would you take your contact out Lex, I want to see your true eye colour whilst I lick every inch of your body’ He say’s with a cocky smile.

Gulping I nod and he points to the bathroom. I head in and take out my contact, I don’t have my containers or solution on me so I am going to have to dispose of this. Wrapping it in tissue and throwing it in the bin. I look at myself in the mirror and I think my cheeks are just going to remain red at this point. I quickly freshen myself up and fix my cleavage before heading back out.

I was not expecting to see him lighting candles and standing in nothing but a pair of boxers. I feel my heart skip a beat.

‘Oh f**k. Our mate is f*****g hot’ Lilac shouts

It was at that point I now realise I have forgotten to take my tablets.
