Destined to be Theirs

Losing Myself

As I sit and wait at the bar. Hee hee I was right these are some comfortable stools. Just people watching and scanning the area, for what I don't know, but I'm looking. My stomach happens to growl at the same moment the bartender slides my way. Chuckling he says "Guess I know what you need from me, huh." Man is his voice melodic a deep timber with a hint of raspy-ness. I melt on the spot , cheeks blushed from embarrassment, I say " Uh...yeah I'm hungry but I need a shot of whiskey first Hun." sighing "I've had a s**t show of a day and need to lose myself for a bit."

"Well babe I got just the thing for you." he says while handing me a tumbler full of crown. How ironic I think giggling to myself. "Nice I'll take that and whatever food sampler you have if you don't mind please. " I reply, apparently something I say gets a strong reaction out of him his eyes widen and he breathes in deep like I just zapped him. " Babe lay off the please or I might just give you something off the menu! " He says his voice goes an octave lower and a glint in his eye. "Well Sir I can't take what you offer without knowing your name first."

Damn look at me flirting it up I haven't done this in a long time. Surprised at myself that I still got it from the look on his face. Like he is having trouble controlling himself to behave. " Never has someone been so outright bold in talking to me." he says. " It's a nice change, the name's Midus, what's yours beautiful?" Now I have to figure if I should stay honest and go with my real name or copout and use another. But looking into his unusual golden colored eyes I blurt out "Those have got to be contacts, I've never seen that eye color before!"

Damn intrusive thoughts, not what I wanted to say but oh well, can't cram that genie back in the bottle. Midus just laughs a deep harty laugh " Naw beautiful these are 100% real." he says with a smirk.

I ask him to lean in closer so I can have a good look. "Can't right now I'll give you a good look later if you are still here." he says. I think I just scared him off but I'm a sucker for unique eyes, what can I say I'm an eye person. "ok Midus rain check on that then." I counter and then down my whiskey in one gulp. Midus' eyebrows shoot up into his hair line as he says "You really must have had a shitty day, not many people down it like that." You have no idea. I think to myself. Getting a good look at his backside as he walks away to place my food order and help other customers. Man has a nice tone ass and legs. He looks back catching me staring and grins at me, I just wave back and smile at him. Now I'm alone with my thoughts and I can't help but think back to what drew me to James in the first place. He has heterochromia where one eye is blue and the other a honey brown with spots of blue in it. Like I said I'm an eye person.

I bumped into James on my first day of highschool, I would say it was cliche as in my first day at anew school blah blah blah, but no we both went to the same school for years just never ran into each other before. I was late in meeting Stacey for lunch, my science class ran late, and as I was rounding the corner rushing and not paying attention, crashed right into him. James grabs hold of my waist to keep me from falling and as I look into his mesmerizing eyes I get lost in them. "I am so sorry, I didn't mean to. I'm in a hurry trying to meet up with my friend." I babble to him. "S'ok just glad I caught ya." he says while winking at me.

Lost in thought I don't see Midus coming back with my food and another tumbler of whiskey for me until he sets it down in front of me startling me back into the now. "Oh wow that was fast." I say.

Midus grins and replies "Looked like you was thinking hard on something, didn't mean to scare ya."

"Ha, was just trying to recall why I was drawn to a cheating baster is all." I say nonchalantly. His eyes go wide and says "Now you gotta tell me the rest of the story, what dumb ass cheats on a beauty like you?" I grin at him "Rain check?" saying "It looks like you have a rush of customers coming in and it looks like there is only you here." "Yeah." he says "Rain check, I'll be on break in an hour or so if you don't mind waiting?" Lifting an eyebrow in a 'you gonna stay' type manner. "Sure gonna hit the dance floor so I'll be around." I say back.

Midus leaves to tend to the others needing food or drinks. Looking at my plate it's the normal bar food little cheeseburger sliders with fries and mozzarella sticks. After eating and sipping on my tumbler of whiskey, the alcohol starts to kick in and I'm getting restless so I decide it's time to hit the dance floor, glancing at Midus he makes eye contact with me and I wink and point out to the grinding bodies. He nods and goes back to work. I down the rest of my whiskey and get up to go dance.

I made my way to the middle of the packed floor and just start swaying my hips. Getting into the music and trying not to think of anything that has happened in the past hour or so. So glad I was already in a cocktail dress for my party, that's not going to happen now. I'm in a bright red dress that is form fitting in the best of ways. It flares out at just below my ass in one big ruffle type hem ending at mid thigh. The best way to describe it is as a mid thigh mermaid style cocktail dress. Red satin but so soft it feels like expensive silk. I love this dress. It's my go to dress. Instead of a little black dress, I have my little red dress that goes well with my natural olive complexion and dark auburn hair and eyes. Yes I have auburn eyes. Threading my hands through my, bellow the shoulder, thick curls as I twist my body and swing my hips in a sensual belly dance type moves just losing myself to the s****l beat of the music.

I'm really getting into it, when I feel hands grab my hips and a large body presses against my back.I let out a gasp and go to look back to see who grabbed me when he says "Damn beautiful, I didn't know you could move like that!" Sighing a breath of relief when I realize it's just Midus I look back over my shoulder and up, and up, Damn is he tall. "Midus you scared me!" I say. "Sorry, now how about taking that rain check, I'm on break now." Midus says as he leads me away from the dance floor to the VIP booths up on the second floor.

Giggling i tell him "Ooo VIP status already? What's the going rate?" Midus just laughs and says "Well that's the perks you get when you own the place."

Stunned I stopped and turned to look at him. "You, you are the owner?" I question him.
