CHAPTER TWO-Tequila

Andrea drives by Glenn's work first. Staring at the Upper Crust restaurant, she longs for their earlier

days together.

When he was just the shy pizza delivery guy who was scared to ask her out.

What happened to their relationship? He probably found someone else. Or maybe she was just completely unlovable. She really thought Glenn was the one. Gotten her hopes up for nothing. Now she just feels completely jaded.

She sees there is a bar closed by. She pulls into the Brick Store Pub, and sees a lot of people drinking having a good time when she enters. Perhaps this was not the best idea.

Nevertheless she orders a beer, and takes a look at the menu.

"Are the nachos here good?" Andrea asked the guy working behind the bar.

"I will be honest. The ones at Upper Crust are a lot better. I have tried to copy the recipe a few times," he said earnestly.

"Maybe I will get a burger then," she says not wanting to think of the pizza place next door, or more importantly her ex-boyfriend that works there.

"Aren't you Glenn's girl? I am surprised you aren't eating there," he said, his blue eyes glowing.

"Who are you?" She asked with sudden urgency wanting to know how he knew her.

"Well, I am Philip Blake. I am the owner of the bar, and on occasions I have treated my staff with pizza from across the street. They get tired of burgers, if you can believe it.

Glenn being the main manger, has taken my orders most of the time. Giving us a chance to get to know each other. I have seen you together there often too. I don't know your name though. He just calls you his girlfriend," he said in the sexiest southern drawl ever.

"Well, I am Andrea Harrison. But Glenn and I broke up. That's why I am here actually. Just needed a few drinks to get my mind of this unexpected breakup. I really did not see it coming," she said taking in this stranger's beauty.

Michonne had warned her about rebound hookups, but how long had it been since she had a little fun? Besides he was only making small talk so far.

"That's a shame. You two were an attractive couple. Drinks on the house," he said pouring her a shot.

"That's kind of you. I have a low tolerance for strong alcohol. So won't take much," she replied. Then quickly drink the alcohol her put in front of her. He watches as she starts on the beer next, and he could see she was not kidding about drinking her problems away.

"Lucky you," he smiles.

"You think I could get some Tequila before my burger is done? I want to have some fun tonight. So if you could Philip, just keep the drinks coming," Andrea said, leaning over the bar close enough to look into his baby blue eyes.

"Absolutely," he said smiling.

He had admired her beauty from far, but now he was finally getting to be close to her. So if she wanted a few drinks to loosen up, he did not have a problem with it. In fact he preferred getting to know women, after they had a few drinks in them. Made other things just a bit easier for him later on in the evening.
