NIGHT MIST

CHAPTER 4

JESSIE'S POV

Finally, I can let my hair down and let loose. After going through the sea of hussies and high-pitched squeals, we got our drinks. What I wasn't accounting for was the Adonis working behind the bar. I tried to play it off, and I looked over at starlett. So the bartenders, huh? she flushes red. Wait, wait, and hold on a damn minute. Ms. I'm waiting for Mr. right is crushing on a Stanger?! Girl, if I'm dressed like sin, then he's a s*x on legs. Again, there is no response. I grab her face. Hey, what's up? "Nothing," she says. Let's drink these and play some pool, then dance? What about the guys? What about them? she asks they have a sea of fans tonight. We were just another customer. Looking back at the bar, I see what she meant. Planting on my fake, I'm always happy smile.

After racking up the balls and playing a few games of eight ball. I ask "hey starlet would you want another drink?" Sure, she says I'll take a shot this time, so we can drink it quickly. I couldn't agree more. I hope that the white hair Adonis is working. After trudging through the trenches, I'm disappointed to see the shift change. I squeak at two tequilas, please. Getting the salt and lemon, I find my place back by the juke boxes once again. Tapping in her shoulder, hey, got us some tequila ready? On the count of three. We both put the salt between our thumb and pointer finger lick and slam it back then biting into the lemon. UGH, I always hate the sour part. starlett yells. How about we bring back the classics?

STARLET POV

Once Jessie mentions classics, she knows she's speaking my language. Buzzed starlet is a whole different level, then sober one. I usually hate the attention, this me? This me has no f***s given. So I ran up to the jukebox, picking one of my favorite queens. Joan jet, I love rock and roll. I go back and grab Jessie hand and flip her around so we can dance together. We both tilt our heads back and let everything wash away. singing and swinging our hips. I bust out the air guitar and all. Once she finishes. Jessie ran up and picked death Leppard pour some sugar on me. we're both feeling ourselves at this point. Guys, come up and try to dance, but I just shoo them away. I may not be caring about the attention, but I'm still aware of the kinds most men have that I don't want.

It was my turn to pick another, so I put in warrant cherry pie. Really feeling myself at the point I flip my hair around and throw my hands in the air. Right as I turned around, I spotted the two earlier from the bar. I tap Jessie, and she stops mid step and follows my line of vision . Holy s**t! they're watching us! she says in my ear. I shrug my shoulders and turn back around to get back into it. By this point, I'm a sweaty mess. I decided it's best to sit down and try to cool down. Picking up my hair, I throw it up in a high pony tail to get it off my neck. Jessie plops down next to me, panting. God, I needed that. she says me too, I agree. me too.

Do you think they were actually watching us? I honestly can't tell you. I replied tiredly. Then she bumped me in her shoulder, well were about to find out. The white-haired one came down, looked at Jessie, then smirked once he reached the jukebox. He picks kiss. I was made to love you. Then disappear again. Holy s**t balls starlet he really just played a song for me?! what's with the disappearing. laughing, I responded its not disappearing when he's right behind you. Turning so fast, I thought she got wip lash. He looks between us. Would you mind if i sit here? Jessie comes out studdering, so I answered. sure thing, my neck will crink if I have to look up all night. He sits down and once again looks between us. My name is Jacobi, and you two lovely ladies are? I'm a starlet, and this is Jessie.

She usually isn't tounge tied. With that, she kicks my shin. I squeaked out an ow d**k!

where's your buddy she asked? oh, he's uh still up there. I turned around, and sure enough, he was standing there staring at me. "Isn't he gonna come down?" I asked? he just shrugged his shoulders. Well, I'm gonna go up there and see if I can get him to come down, I suggest. Jacobi gives me a slaute and wishes me luck. Then he turns to Jessie. On my way up the stairs, we kept eye contact the entire time. Once I got a foot away from him, I realized how tall he was. I'm 5'10 "in these heels, and he's still a head taller. Hey, do you wanna come down to join us? I asked him. His purple eyes bore Into mine.

If I did, I wouldn't be standing here. He replied. So I responded back. Ah, gotcha. Must be pissed your date bailed. It's no wonder, with an altitude like that, I would have bailed on you, too. Speaking of, I'm gonna go. Would say nice to talk to you, but I'll be lying. With that, I turned on my heel and left. Once I got to the table, I told Jessie I was leaving. I'm gonna get an Uber don't leave on the account of me. It was a pleasure meeting you, Jacobi. Too bad I couldn't say the same for your friend.. With that, I got into the Uber and headed home. Once I got there, I got yet another shower and went straight to bed and passed out as soon as I hit the pillow.

HANSEL POV

Watching her leave without even a second glance really struck a nerve. No one has ever talked to me that way. I put my arms on the raling and lean forward with them crossing each other. Looking down at Jacobi, I saw her tell him goodnight and told me what I assumed was her bestfriend bye as well. Leaning back up, I grabbed the railing till my knuckles turned white. I took my hat off and started running my hands through my hair. This is bullshit I grumbled. why did I get matched to her? Kaos decided to put his two cents in. Well, you were acting like a d**k. She probably didn't want to be the third wheel and had to feel something.

Of course, you had to push her away, like you do anyone. There's always more to people that miss the eyes his said crypticaly. "What is that supposed to mean?" I asked him. What I mean is that you need to apologize and try to get to know her on a personal level. That was twice tonight she got the wrong impression of you, and this time, you did it by yourself. Mr oh, I want my mate, my Ying to my yang, and not only you rejecting it, your rejecting my chance too. You made her feel like s**t, and ruined her night. Shes's stronger then you give her credit for. That's what we need, a strong minded woman. I'm supposed to be your wolf, yet I have more common sense than you. If I wasn't a part of you, I wouldn't want anything to do with you right now. Now I'm gonna lay down. Let me know when you wanna run douche. After I got the third degree from Kaos. I felt it was only right to reach out and try to make things right.
