Our Dawn Is Hotter Than Day

First Meeting

Awi's POV.

Right after we entered the bar, a sudden chills went in my whole body. I really don't think that I'm in the right place at this exact moment. Why did I even agree on this in the first place, this is just so messed up. I feel like my heart is about to go out from my own body. I feel so uneasy and so I grab Dawn's arm and cling to her like a baby.

"Dawn, can we just go home? I don't care if I can't drink tonight please I just wanna go home" I said which make Dawn stop her steps

"Awi, we just got here. We payed for the entrance fee, it's such a waste if we go home immediately" she replied

"Then, I'll pay you back for your money. Just please" I pleaded

"You sure? They sell awesome drinks in here. It's such a waste if we go home without a little bit taste of it" she said

"Fine! But only one drink. One drink and we'll go home" I surrendered

"Sure, one drink it is" she said

The more we pass through the corridors, the more my breath becomes hot and heavy. But it's actually a new achievement for me. Normally, when I try to enter in this kind of clubs, I always have panic attacks, it's just new to me that I can last long without having any today. Well maybe I did have a little, but unlike before, I can actually manage to control it today. Maybe because Dawn is here with me or maybe because I'm just craving for something to drink and this club is the only one in the list.

"Damn, there's a lot of lesbians kissing everywhere" I added in a discomfort tone

"Not all of them are lesbians though" she said trying to explain her knowledge about l***q community

"What do you mean not all of them? A girl is literally kissing another girl in a lesbian club. If that's not lesbian to you then I don't know what it is"

"Awi, we're in 20th century okay. Just because a girl is kissing another girl, that doesn't mean that they're lesbians" she said while leading me to somewhere we can sit

"Then what do you call them? A sugar mommy?" I replied causing Dawn to let out a chuckle

"Maybe, you should try to know about some bisexual women in this town and who knows you'll find something while digging out there don't you think? You see, labels are important for some just as how pronouns are important for others" she said educating me with her knowledge

After a few walks, we finally manage to get a seat. We sit right in front of the counter where you can talk with some bartenders if you don't want to hang out with some strangers.

"Ugh! Let me just drink some beer. I'm emotionally drained" I said grabbing a bottle of beer that Dawn ordered

"Well then, let me just used the restroom. I swear I'm gonna burst out any moment from now" she said and take her leave but before she could even go I grab her arms once again

"Wait, what!? Don't leave me here, I don't feel safe around these kind of ladies" I said in an almost murmured tone

"Don't worry, I'll be back before you even know it" she said and dashed towards the restroom

"You've got to be kidding me" I said throwing my hands up in the air

It's so awkward being alone, I can't even dare to look at any direction. I suddenly have the urge to become a distant dot and get lost this instant

"Hey sweetie. What does a young hot chick girl doing out here alone?" a woman inches from me said in a flirty tone. Her boobs are definitely out for some reason.

"Sorry, but I'm not alone. I'm with my boyfriend and he'll definitely won't like it if I talk with some strangers" I said giving the worst alibi in the universe. But what can I do? I'm pretty sure this lady won't stop bothering me if I told her I'm with a friend

Not even an hour passed by yet I'm already experiencing this. Seriously where is Dawn? I don't think I can take it any longer, suddenly my breath becomes hot once again and I feel like I'm out of breath. The vivid memories when I was still a child becomes clearer as she slowly walks towards me. Please can someone just help me, release this uneasiness within me.

My feet and lips starts to tremble, I feel dizzy with all the transparent memories that are coming inside my head. I think that I'm gonna faint any moment from now. I really want to get out but I can't just leave Dawn here alone. What should I do? Dear universe, please help me just this once, please.

"Oh come on baby girl. This is a bar for lesbians, there's no man allowed to enter this bar" she said while putting her hands in my shoulder trying to attack her prey.

"Awi, you're such a terrible liar!" I murmured looking at the opposite direction

"Bartender" I said shutting my eyes because I know that I just dug my own grave

"What?" she asked confused but still let out a chuckle

"I said, I'm in a relationship. With a bartender. In this bar" I said breaking the sentences, still hoping that she won't notice that I'm lying

"Let her go lady" A girl behind us suddenly appeared and said.

I think we're about the same age, her height is about 5'6, she's wearing a white polo sleeves and a black apron which I think is her uniform. Her blonde hair is tied in a pony tail style

"And who are you?" the lady asked

"Can't you see the picture? I'm the bartender she's referring to. She's my girlfriend" the girl said

"Yes, I'm her girlfriend" I said without listening to myself. Seconds passed by and only then I realized what I just said

"Wait, what?" I added with a what the hell did I just say look

"Well then, next time, don't leave your girl alone out here" the lady said and make her leave

"Affirmative" the bartender said giving the lady a reassuring smile.

"Okay, what's happening right now?" I murmured enough for the bartender to hear and let out a chuckle. Geez, she's so cute when she chuckles but that's not the case here

"Let me introduce myself. I'm Nicole, Nicole Tolseve" the bartender said and extended her hand

"And you are?" she added looking straightly into my eyes. Damn even her emerald eyes are mesmerizing but again that's not the case here

"Oh. I'm Awi. Awi Anderburg." I said and accepted her hand as we shake our hands. Her hand is so soft, I wonder what skin care does she use

"I'm sorry about what happened earlier. Some customers just don't know when to stop" she said as she return to the counter

"There's no need to be sorry. I'm actually thankful that you came and save my night. I hope you're not serious about you saying that you're my girlfriend hahaha" I said and let out a laugh that is so awkward

"Oh, don't be pressured, it's not good for the blood. I actually just did that because it seems like you feel uncomfortable" she said smiling

"Sooo, you're not serious?" I asked again just to make sure

"No, why would I be?" she replied. But why did I feel hurt by her reply? It's weird

"You alone out here?" she added

"Not really, I'm with a friend and she just went to the restroom" I answered

"So tell me, what brought you guys here? It doesn't seem like you're a lesbian to me and I don't think you're bisexual either" she said, offering me a glass of tequila

"You're right about that. I'm actually straight. Me and my friend just want to have some drink in this town; you know just so I can forget the man that ghosted me, sadly all the bars are closed except for this one" I answered and take a sip of the tequila she offered

"Oh honey, drinks doesn't let you forget someone you love. Well, it does make you feel dizzy and sleepy sometimes but after you wake up, you find yourself still thinking about the same person" she said and I don't know why but my heart suddenly beats louder at her calling me honey

Before I could even answer her, I suddenly flinch at the sound of another lady asking for the direction of the restrooms. Thankfully Nicole notice my uneasiness and dismissed the lady immediately.
