fiancĂ©. the word rings in his ears no sooner than he can spot the glacier poised perfectly on one of her dainty fingers like it was made for her. as far as he knows, it was. and it immediately occurs to him that if he thought this girl was out of his league before, sheâs light years away by now. if thereâs one thing heâs learned in this life itâs that so many things are purely transactional. girls with the looks to land the big ballers do, and they donât look back. hell, he wouldnât either if it guaranteed a rock the size of an ice-skating rink and a life most can only dream of.Â
but he considers her, the way her lip curls just slightly at his lame joke, and heâs not ready to dub her a gold-digger just yet. âshe smilesâ he comments the minute her expression breaks, eyes transfixed on the dimples in her cheeks, the deepest heâs ever seen in real life. and he canât help but feel just a little proud to have made her smile like that. even if this is the only interaction theyâll ever have, he can walk away with the consolation that he could at least make a dull evening less so. heâs always prided himself on his ability to lighten the mood, even at his own expense. maybe leaned into it a little too much back in high school, when he got suspended for burping the pledge of allegiance over the intercom and setting off firecrackers in the boyâs bathroom. but since his nuts dropped and the semi-maturity kicked in, heâs been able to find a healthy balance between class clown and complete idiot.Â
âone rose for every minute youâve been sitting here, itâs only rightââ and he doesnât disclose this information to his usual patrons, but she seems about thirty years younger, and ten times cooler than most of the people that frequent this place. âyou knowââ he speaks an octave lower, âif youâre ever looking for a little escape i happen to specialize in herbal refreshments. good shit too, straight from caliâ he brags a little, plays around with so many things but never about his premium supply.Â
leaning over onto his elbows, he smiles a tiny smile when she butters him up, canât tell if sheâs being genuine or just blowing smoke, but he prefers to be kept guessing anyway. he shakes her hand, fancy rock and all, and thinks fast for some excuse to keep the conversation going. âso miss ameliaâŠyou know gut-spilling is pretty customary to the bartender/client relationship and this place doesnât close for another half hourâŠstory for a story? i know you got some crazy ones, donât hold out on me girlâ
Lia had always hoped to become the housewife. Never having to lift a finger to do anything, and being able to infinitely shop as much as she would like. Her closet already a prime example of such, everything she dreamed of and more. And yet, she still didnât feel complete. Like something was missing, perhaps money didnât actually buy happiness. Oh who was she kidding, it bought her happiness. But having attention from the person she loved brought her more, and as the years of gone on she found herself losing it more and more. It left her feeling conflicted, not knowing her next move.
It wasnât like she hadnât found herself admiring the man behind the bar before, wondering what his story was. How he ended up in such a prim and proper place, yet seemed out of place almost. She found him intriguing, always seeming to make the best with the customers despite the more savory comments made by them. He still held his cool, a small laugh and a comment from him before he began their drinks. She caught herself watching him more than she wanted to admit, the way his lips curled as he smiled, the dimples on his face just as if not more apparent as her own. But it was the humor that captured her, the playfulness in almost all his comments she had been able to hear. Whether to make someone feel better, or just to make conversation. She enjoyed the little glimpses she could get, whether her fiancĂ© was around or not.
âNow that would surprise me, might even get lucky with that gift,â sipping her drink with a raised brow, âwell well well, the dirty secret has been revealed,â shrugging ever so slightly, crossing her legs under the bar top, âbut I will play along, and gladly take some of whatever you have to offer. Iâm quite well versed,â knowing the amount of people their age around the place, it wasnât the best place to sell. But then again, every so often the old rich guys would want to show off for their younger play things. Something Lia was used to in her past life, and the showing off was always worth it for her.
His hands were softer than she expected, but still had a certain roughness to them that felt good against her well manicured and moisturized hands. Adjusting her ring slightly before smirking at his words, leaning in closer as she spoke, âwell that depends on which part of my life you want to hear about, Iâve been lucky to experience quite a bit in my short time of life. Some activities more illegal than the others, but all fun none the less,â

âSir? Took you for more a Daddy type,â Luke smirked. He didnât know just yet how far he could push his luck with the girl, but Luke was interested enough that heâd be entertain the entire time. âAnd if not, Iâm sure Iâve got some poisons to alleviate the stress.â It wasnât a secret that the Hounds party, Luke however was an exception. He was always seen as the Mamaâs Boy or the Designated Driver, no one truly knew what poison Luke used, and he kept it that way, but with Liaâs reputation he knew heâd be in for a treat. It was a brief walk, moving to open any doors for the girl just like his mama taught him. âDonât play any of that Taylor Swift or Lady A crap. I get enough of that with Becky driving to school.â
Her strides falter for only a moment as she took in his words, a simple nod with a smirk on her lips, âPerhaps I like both, whatever you prefer Daddy,â Lia listened to his words, having been to one or two of the hounds parties. Luke either never showing up or disappearing halfway through the night she eventually just stopped looking for him. But that didnât mean her intrigue on him diminished any, if anything only strengthened. âAnd what kind of poisons might that be?â A perfectly kept brow raising at him, her eyes glinting with mischief and curiosity. âI wouldnât dare, Iâm a little insulted you think I would,â
