I sat at the bar nursing a beer.
"something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue, I wonder who the hell came up with that stupid rule," I muttered staring at the gold band sitting on my finger, 'I'm keeping the diamond and the gold' I thought easing them off, I slipped them round the chain I was wearing.
"Let me guess, you just got divorced?" I turned to face the drunkard sitting next to me.
"Nah, I got to the I do part and ran, didn't love him in the end, broke his heart." the guy shook his head laughing.
"Harsh man." i just glared at him silently, tension fill the air. He got up and left without another word. I gazed across the bar, noting a man sitting on his own reading. I walked over to the other end of the bar.
"Leave me alone you troublesome woman, I don't need some slut annoying me for reading," he growled, I sat next to him and placed my head on my arms just staring at him. After a while his eye brow started to twitch.
"What do you want?" I shrugged, I didn't really know.
"Well then go away troublesome woman." he scowled before returning to his apparently captivating book. I studied the man before me; he had long brown hair and brown eyes, he was tall and lanky with a straight nose and semi permanent scowl. I snagged a napkin and quietly asked the bartender for a pen or pencil. I had never pursued a career in drawing but many said I was artistic, I wondered what he would do if asked to draw his face.
"That's really good miss but would you not draw me." he looked passive now, the wrinkles gone from his brow.
"It's Hinata," I muttered, continuing with my work.
"Shikamaru, I think I'm just going to ignore you, continue if you must." I nodded thanks, continuing like nothing happened. Some where along the line he started to watch me draw as I filled the space of the napkin with small flowers and doodles, flipping it over I wrote 'can i stay with you the night?' Sliding it over to him. The bartender frowned at us, we had both been here a while without ordering anything. I smiled politely at him, asking for a rum and coke to humor him. When my drink arrived so did my answer 'yes'. I turned it over to write another message but he had written something on both sides. 'Will you still be there when i wake up in the morning?' I was a little shocked at this but i flipped it over, returning my answer. 'yes'.
He grabbed my legs, pulling me up so i was the same height as him. I giggled returning the kiss, as we haphazardly left the bar drunk. Bumping into the wall, i let go with a sigh and grabbed his hand, almost leading him to my bike but the bartender had my keys. I pouted.
"We can walk, i don't live to far away," he said speech slurred, laughing as he picked me up, dumping me over his should much like a cave man.
