"Hey Trick. Hit us up with something real good, would ya buddy?" asks Kenz as she and Bo reach the bar's counter.
"Nothing too good, though. Big shot here gambled most our drinking money away last night," I add, earning a hard slap on the arm from my best friend.
"I was doing really well, okay? That guy fucking cheated," she pouts as she grabs one of the drinks and heads over to our usual couch.
Trick and I share a small laugh over the crazy yet loveable girl. Grabbing my drink, I say my thanks to our favorite bartender and head over to join Kenz. As I arrive I see her chatting with some poker players a few tables down.
"You should totally, play that hand. You'll win for sure," I hear her say.
"Kenzi, stop cheating for them, you hate cheaters," I state as she gives me a very unloving stare.
"Oh shut up Bo, I was just trying to help a guy out y'know?" she responds back, adding an eye roll for effect.
We continue messing with each other and joking around like our normal Wednesday nights. I know Wednesday is a really odd day of the week to go out, but that oddly is our slowest day.
You see, Kenzi and I own a little business together that is basically a private investigator type thing. People come to us with problems the authorities and every one don't believe or they just can't solve it. In the past year we've done this, we've seen some pretty crazy things. The weirdest/scariest definitely had to be that nasty ass giant spider that made everyone hate everyone else and try to kill each other. Yeah, that was not too fun and glad it ended how it did. Anyway, business has been pretty slow lately for some reason so we've been going out a little more and just doing normal human things.
Oh yeah, forgot to mention one other little thing. I'm Bo and I'm a Fae known as a Succubus. Long story short, I can make someone do something by drawing them in sexually and then like breathing their soul out of their bodies. It's pretty sucky sometimes but I mean I can have anyone I want so it's kind of a win-win.
As Kenz and I continue drinking and talking, I see her take a double-take at whoever just walked into the bar. I turn in my seat to see the most gorgeous blonde I have ever laid eyes on. I turn back around and see Kenzi smirking at me.
"What?" I ask taking a sip of my now warm beer and avoiding eye contact. She doesn't answer for a few seconds so I look back up to still see her eyeing me knowing the girl definitely caught my attention.
"I see that little glimmer in your eye dude. Go talk to her," she finally responds.
"No way, you know I'm not good with talking to girls unless I need something out of it," I say refusing to turn back around to see the mysterious blonde.
"Oh, come on you scaredy cat. If you don't go to her, I'll just bring her over here," she says standing up and glancing over my shoulder trying to find this girl.
"What?! No. Kenz, seriously stop," I try to say while pulling her away from the girl.
"Hey!" she yells a little trying to get the blonde's attention. "Hey cute blonde!" Oh no she turned around. "Yeah you! Come here!" Oh my gosh, I can not believe this. Payback is going to be such a bit-
"My friend Bo here thinks you're pretty cute and now I'll leave you to just chat and stuff. Bye Bo, see you at home!" She yells over her shoulder as she bolts towards the door. Great, now this girl thinks I'm probably a wimp. If I spill my drink on her and run, I doubt she'll ever be able to find me. I could go into some serious hiding.
"Uh, hey there. You okay? You're kind of gawking right now." Holy shit. She has the voice of an angel. It's so smooth but a little bit scratchy at the same time and wow I could listen to her talk forever. I realize I'm still not replying and my mouth is hanging wide open so I immediately shut it and stick my hand out.
"Hi, y-yeah sorry about th-that," I say sounding like a total noob. Did I really just stutter? What is wrong with me? "I'm Bo, by the way."
Chuckling, she mimics my action and shakes my hand, "Nice to meet you Bo. I'm Lauren."
