The Bartender
Laura had just left home for her freshman year of college. Her school was a few hours away from home, and she was enjoying a new sense of freedom with her new friends. They loved staying up late, attending concerts, and hanging out downtown at their favorite late-night spot. She has started enjoying and living her life.
Once, she went to a place where only 18+ people were allowed; however, Laura and her friends could still hang out inside. One night, Laura ordered a soda, and she found herself face-to-face with a handsome bartender. Her eyes caught that person in her first watch.
Catching His Eye
The bartender introduced himself as Jack, and the two found themselves chatting for longer than necessary. They didn’t notice time passing until one of Laura’s friends came to the late-night spot to see where she had disappeared to. She reluctantly said goodbye to Jack and went back to her friends, but found herself looking over at him every so often.
Every time she did, he was already staring at her, and they shared shy smiles. Before she left that night, she went to the bar to say goodbye, and Jack asked for her number. If only she knew what saying yes would lead to.
