Summary: Toni Seymour,a Muggle, is the new bartender at a local pub in London. There she meets a stranger who calls himself Sirius and becomes intrigued by him.
Originally, I meant for it to be written as a one-shot but it'll probably change. After reading please leave a review, simply stating yes if you want me to continue. Then maybe i'll consider writing just a few more chapters.
"That's Sirius Black."
"Huh?" My thoughts were interrupted by Abby, one of the waitress. She was blonde, and full of air I thought the first minute I meet her. I felt guilty about judging her like that, but it was hard not too.
"Him. The guy that just walked in." She pointed at the man who sat himself down at the end of the bar. Really, like I cared who he was. To me, he was simply another customer who wanted a drink.
"He comes in every night for a drink, always at ten o' clock on the dot. Isn't he gorgeoussss?" Abby stared dreamily at the guy. I met the eyes of Jane, another waitress who came with an order of drinks, and rolled her eyes. Jane grinned, and walked away, balancing the tray of drinks expertly.
Abby left for her smoke break, and I made my way down to where this Sirius Black fellow was sitting so I could get his order. I got to give credit to Blondie, he was gorgeous. The words tall, dark, and handsome popped in my mind.
"What can I get ya?" He looked up, and smiled. OK, Abby is definitely right. Gorgeous!
"Well, you're certainly not Al. Definitely better looking then him, anyways," he mused, chuckling a bit. I did the same.
"I'm the new bartender. Name's Toni."
"Sirius."
I nodded, and took his order and walked away. Jane was wiping down the bar and raised her head up when she saw me. "Cutie, isn't he?"
"He sure is."
"You should talk to him, get to know him." I raised an eyebrow.
"No thanks. Right now, all I care about getting enough tips so I can pay off my rent." She shrugged as I walked back over to him to bring his drink.
"Here you go, sir."
"Thanks." Sirius took a long sip from his drink, the whole time not taking his eyes off me.
"What does it stand for?"
"Excuse me?" I asked confused.
"Toni. It's obviously a nickname. So what's your real name?"
I smirked as I handed another customer his order and accepted his money. "Like I'm telling you."
"Why?" he questioned.
"Because I don't tell anybody my real name."
"Is it really that bad?"
"To me, yes."
"I can't be worst then Sirius." I thought for a moment and nodded.
"Sirius is a strange name. Did your mother name you after a great-uncle or something?"
His face darkened at the mention of the word mother. "Nope" was his only answer. Curious, but not enough so that I'd question any further. He was quiet as I went around the pub. It was almost closing time, and I was bloody tired. What I wouldn't give to go home and lay down on my bed.
"You've got a great arse," Sirius informed me after I got back to the bar. My eyebrow rose. Should I be insulted or flattered?
"Is that a compliment?" A smirk formed on his face as he nodded.
"You should work on them. Some would find it insulting."
"Most women think my brazen compliments are sexy."
"I'm not most women." He tilted his head back and let out a bark of laugh. I could see out of the corner of my eye Abby glaring at me.
"You're certainly not." Sirius looked deep into my eyes. I became uncomfortable and irritatied. Who did this guy think he was?
"You are very rude.""I've been told a few times by Lily."
"Girlfriend?" Again, that stupid smirk formed on his face. I wanted to wipe it off so bad now. Forget his looks, this guy was a jerk.
"Why do you care?"
"I don't. You brought her up."
"She's my best mate's girl."
"Oh." It was quiet between us as I finished cleaning up. "Are you almost done? I want to get home before it gets later and you're holding me up here."
"Husband waiting at home?" I held up my left hand, showing him my bare ring finger. "Boyfriend?" I shook my head.
"Good. I have a good chance then."
"What makes you think I'm interested?"
"Most women are."
"I thought we established that I'm not like most women." Sirius sighed and got up. He pulled his coat on, and threw down a bill at the bar.
"You'll change your mind soon enough. Not many can resist the Black charm."
"Cocky there, aren't we?"
Sirius smirked and started to walk away. Right before he left the pub, he called out to me.
"Confidence, sweetheart." He winked, then left.
Ok, I'll admit it. This Sirius Black fellow intrigued me a bit.
Just a little bit.
So that's it. Leave a review if you want me to continue. Most likely I will, but I need some back up. It'll take less then ten minutes, so please review.
Reviews, please.
