Fire and gasoline
758 Words
It was a cold and wet fall night in new York,it was almost a reflection of how I felt right now
"Mrs Anderson's intuition was right,love really is dead.."I mumbled
Mr's Anderson is yet another proof of it
I think I need a drink, and I know just the place to get it
It was dead silent at my friend's bar,her name was Lou,she had brown eyes,wavy brown hair,tanned skin and a stunning figure
"Tough day at work?"she asked
"Yeah another scumbag exposed, and my mind won't let me forget it."I groaned in frustration
"Your to invested Rosie,and you know why that is,i don't know why you insist on doing this to yourself."she said looking at me with a worried expression
"I know it reminds you of him every time."she sighed as she spoke about a certain someone
"It's completeld I guess I just want to use my knowledge to help others."
It kinda gives my life a meaning."I huffed
"It's either that or maybe you haven't moved on from him yet."she said giving me a knowing look
"I have!"my voice came out louder than intended
"You still seem a bit...bitter to me."she replied
"I am not bitter in fact I'm ready to start dating again."
"Okay then,let me get his attention for you then,yoo-hoo! Mr handsome stranger."she said waving
"Lou!"I sighed glaring at substandard friend
Lou hails and waved at some stranger before I could even finish my sentence
I noticed a good looking stranger sitting at the end of the room,suddenly our eyes locked
I felt heat immediately rush through my cheeks
Shit! His freakin gorgeous
"Look he's coming over here."Lou said excitedly,winking at me
The handsome stranger towers over me and lou,e even through I was 5'3,he sure was tall but I couldn't help but notice...
His authoritarian walk and posture
Damn! He looks like he just walked straight out of the bachelor
"Subtle."he huskily replied
That's the first thing he says
"Subtle's my middle name sugar."Lou muttered sending the stranger a wink
He gives me a subtle elevator look,h is Presence's changes the the atmosphere,making it thick and almost static
"I'm Matt....and your Rosie?"he said,the fact that he knew my name and how it rolled of his tongue perfectly sent shivers down my spine,and I involuntarily shivered
"Yeah that's me Rosie the alcoholic."I giggled to intoxicated as the alcohol was still in my system
"Your straight forward."he replied
I decided to tease him by saying "yeah,i don't like to keep things 'bottled up' literally."
"I might steal that and use it the next time my grandpa comments on my drinking habits."he chuckled,it was a deep manly chuckle,it was music to my ears
"You can't steal it but you can buy it."I shrugged
I teased him c*****g my head towards the bar
"Let me guess for a drink."he muttered
"The way to my heart is obviously."I giggled
"Hey miss subtle,can I get another drink for the alcoholic?."he said glancing at me
"Yep,one bottle of s****l tension coming up."Lou replied
Can't this girl just shut up
Oh my goodness I don't remember the last time I hit it off with a guy this fast
I don't know the last time I encountered a hot guy either
"Cheers to that."Matt smiled as we 'clink' our bottles together taking a long gulp
Warm creeps up my cheeks and the colour seeps through like red wine spilled on a white shirt
"Your a charmer matt,how about you tell me more about you?"I asked curiously looking at him
"Well I think I could teach you a thing or two about love."he said his eyes never leaving my face
"You think so,let me guess,are you a love guru?"I asked
"Not exactly but if everything goes down south at my current job I'll consider it."he chuckled softly
"You know,i think I know man pretty well too."
"Is that so?tell me,i'd love to hear about what you think about men."he smirked he's eyes hold a glint of mischievousness in them
Matt was only teasing me,but I could sense he was challenging me too
The door of the bar opens and in walks a middle aged man with a young brunette
Their loud and clearly already intoxicated,d demanding attention,as I observed them
"I'd like to know more about you."he said
"What would you like to know."
"To be honest anything,it'll give me an excuse to look at you."Matt's eyes glimmer with mischief and I could tell he was smiling behind his pint as he took another gulp
"Honestly I could look at you all night."I smirked as my eyes traveled up and down his body shamelessly
"So I suggest a staring contest the first to drool loses."
"I'm more of an action kinda guy."
I read between the lines and it immediately summons goosebumps my skin
I drink into the night with matt,and every now and then,our eyes would meet,coming together like fire and gasoline
