Sitting on by the counter in the Magix Bar was a slender brunette with tan skin and jade eyes. She wore a pleated green mini skirt, similar colour jacket and choker, pink tube top and matching knee length high heel boots.
Beside her was a slim blonde with fair skin and orange eyes. She had on a green and pink mini dress with pink wedge heels.
"Flora, drink up. We are celebrating." Stella drunkenly shouted.
"Stella, I had one drink and one of us needs to be sober enough to drive home." Flora pointed out, holding onto a shot of vodka tonic.
"Come on, Flora. We are celebrating you graduating from Vet school and getting a job at the most well known and oldest hospital in the country." The blonde added, taking another sip of her beer.
Magix Hospital is the oldest and largest hospital in the country. One side caters to human patients while the other side takes care of animal. Flora graduated from University at the top of her class to become an Animal Doctor with a minor in Physical Therapy.
The brunette smiled. "It seems so unreal. I got my dream job fresh off of leaving school. Stella, we should be celebrating your success also. You landed a job at a fashion agency. You could be on your way to becoming a famous fashion designer."
"I know darling." Stella grinned, finishing the last of her drink. "I won't forget you and the other girls when I become famous."
"Doubt it. After all we are your best friends and you live with us." Flora remained her.
Stella and Flora lived in a first floor apartment which had six bedrooms and bathrooms along with a living, dining and kitchen. They lived there with their best female friends Bloom, Aisha, Tecna and Musa. The apartment complex was owned by Stella's father, who gave the deluxe apartment to the girls till they get on their feet.
The others couldn't make it because they have job interviews early tomorrow morning and needed their beauty sleep.
"Hey Flora, there is a super hot guy checking you out on the other side of the bar." Stella indicated to a blue hair male.
The brunette looked over to see a slightly muscular male with blue hair and eyes. He had fair skin and wore black pants with a blue and white shirt. He was sitting beside a brown hair male with honey brown eyes and slightly tan skin. He had on blue jeans with white and green shirt.
"Is friend is checking you out." Flora whispered to Stella.
The blonde glanced at the brown hair male to see him admiring her.
"How about we go over there and introduce ourselves." Stella suggested, snapping to the bartender.
The black hair, blue eyed male made his way over to Stella. He poured her another drink of alcohol.
"Picking up guys in bar is not very ideal." Flora stated before consuming her drink. "Stella, can we leave? Bars aren't really my thing."
"Enjoy yourself. This is the first time you're coming to a bar anyway and you need to finally get laid." Stella jumped to her feet. She was almost intoxicated.
Flora couldn't take her eyes off of the blue hair male. He looked very handsome and slightly familiar to her.
The male soon rose to his feet along with his brown hair friend and began walking over to Stella and Flora.
Helia cling to a shot glass as one of his closet male friends consumed several glasses of beer.
"Brandon, I am going to head home now." Helia stated, placing his glass onto the counter. "Bars aren't really my thing and it looks like the girls here are ready to jump me any second."
Brandon scanned the area to see several girls looking at Helia with lust and greed in their eyes. "Dude, some of these girls are hot. You need to get laid so take one of them home."
"None of these girls are worth my time." Helia commented. "They only see dollar signs and looks."
Helia recently took control of his father's multi-million dollar software and electronic company. Atlantis Inc. is the number company that produces DVD players, microphones, speakers, phones, games, computers and tablets. Girls flock to him like moth to a flame.
To celebrate Helia becoming CEO, Brandon carried Helia to the bar.
"Dude, I have never seen you with a girl before." Brandon said, clearly drunk. "If you don't get laid, you're going to die a virgin."
"I would rather die one than be a male whore." Helia mentioned. His attention soon focused on a brunette at the other side of the bar. "She looks so breathtaking."
"Who?" Brandon quickly looked across to see Flora and Stella talking. "The blonde looks sexy. Do you want to hit that Bro?"
"I am not talking about the blonde. The brunette looks so amazing and I think I have seen her already." Helia whispered.
"Do you want to go over there and talk to her?" Brandon suggested. "I will go with you. Her friend looks sexy."
Helia rolled his eyes at his friend. 'His hormones are raging more than a horny teenager.'
The two got up and made their way to Stella and Flora.
Reaching them, Helia held out his hand to Flora as soft music began to play. "May I have this dance?"
Flora nodded, taking his hand. They soon made their way to the dance floor a few metres away from the bar.
Brandon and Stella went to the dance floor together and began dancing.
Helia chained his arms around Flora's waist as the brunette locked hers around his neck.
"Have we met before?" Helia asked, moving around in a circle. "You look familiar to me."
"I think we have." Flora spoke, thinking for a moment. "Have you ever gone to the new animal shelter uptown?"
"Yes, I have. I go there on the weekends to feed and take care of the animals." Helia informed her.
"I went there every day during the summer expect weekends to do my internship." Flora smiled. "With my recent job I will only have time to go there on the weekend. Maybe our paths crossed one day during the summer."
"Maybe." Helia trawled Flora around before wrapping his arms back around her waist. "What is your name by the way?"
"It's Flora Linepha. What's yours?"
Helia was a bit surprised that she didn't know who he is but was very happy about it. "It's Helia Knightly."
Flora soon noticed several girls giving her the stink eye. "Look like you have several admirers."
"Yeah. I highly doubt they are admiring me." Helia sighed. 'They are admiring my wallet.'
"Why not? You are good looking, seem smart, look like a nice person and is an animal lover." Flora commented. "Which girl wouldn't want a guy like that?"
"I know a few." Helia muttered. "What about you? I see a few guys staring at you."
"They are more than likely horny, drunk males that only want to jump in my skirt." Flora sighed, sadly. "This is one of the reasons I hate coming to bars. My friend dragged me here to celebrate me getting a job. The only bright side to me been here is meeting you."
Helia smiled. "I know how you feel. My friend dragged me here to celebrate me getting a job also. This is the first and last time I am coming into a bar. I am glad I got to meet you through."
Flora saw Brandon and Stella coming towards them.
Stella who sounded sober now said. "Flora, Brandon and I are going back to his place. See you tomorrow."
"See you dude." Brandon said to Helia.
"Tomorrow then." Helia said before the two left.
"How about we get out of here?" Helia suggested. "I can see you're just as uncomfortable as I am about been here."
The two left the bar and headed to the nearby park.
Helia and Flora rested against a tree, facing a lake. The night was cold and the slightly large body of water reflected millions of star.
They continued to talk and get to know each other more for another hour.
Helia looked into Flora's eyes and became captivated by the beautiful emerald gems.
Flora became memorized by the sapphires coloured eyes and wanted to look at them every day.
"Flora, would you give me the honour of carrying you out this Saturday?" Helia asked, moving his head closer to hers.
"Yes!" Flora closed the gap and clashed their lips together.
They made out for about ten minutes before Helia drove Flora home. The raven hair male escorted Flora to the door before they exchanged numbers and kisses.
They continued for a few minutes then parting ways for the night.
I got a reality check recently. Will admit that I did feel unappreciated and might be bit of a review wh**e. Anyway this and 'A Thousand Years' are the only stories I have left to put up before calling it a day on writing.
