“And two for the ladies.” I nod to my left. The blonde turns her head briefly but doesn’t look directly at me. The one with chestnut hair down her mid-back, tilts her head around her friend to get a look at me.
“Thanks,” she mouths. Giving her friend a little nudge that I don’t miss.
“What are you drinking, anyway?” I ask over the music.
Blondie tucks a strand of hair behind her ear and shakes her head. “I’m fine, thank you.”
I scrunch my forehead in confusion, my eyes flicking to the brunette.
“Two cosmos please,” her friend offers with raised eyebrows and a shrug.
The corner of my mouth tugs up in a smile when I see blondie elbow her friend back.
Jake remains engrossed in conversation with the bartender, who shows no sign of making our drinks.
I don’t worry about it, I’m sure they’ll come eventually.
I can’t see the blonde’s face, but I know she’s small, cute, and smells like a dream; like sugary cake or some sweet candy. It’s fucking intoxicating.
“Is your friend, okay?” I call to the brunette through a cupped hand amidst the music and flashing lights. I know she hears me.
The pretty brunette blinks rapidly as we lock eyes over the other girl’s head.
“She’s just shy,” she says with a shrug.
I glance down at the woman next to me, my eyes quickly raking her over. She’s wearing a white tank and tight-fitted jeans. A row of gold bracelets gather on one tiny wrist, and a gold charm bracelet dangles on the other.
I lean into the bar on my elbows, still trying to capture her attention. “I don’t mind the shy ones,” I say, just as the music ends and the last two words come out in a shout, during the brief pause while the new song starts. Her friend laughs and I see the quirk of a smile on blondie’s perky lips.
Fucking hell, I’m an ass.
