Summary: please tell me you don't actually expect me to fill this in
Spoiler: none, it is an AU!
And when we both looked up we were greeted with this big smile.
" Hello, ladies. Please let me get those for you" He was a guy probably thirty, and dark hair. Tall and well built. And very good looking. And he knew it. Eva was first to respond
" Well, We'd be glad too, sir" I looked up at her in disbelief what the hell was she playing at, she had put on a thick southern accent and had battered her eyelashes, I found it hard to control my laughter and then he looked at me and Eva gave me this give look, telling me to play along. Knowing that I couldn't fake an accent to save my life, I decided to stick to the one I had.
" Well, I am Micheal, but people call me Mike. I'm sorry I didn't catch you name" he was still looking at me, with those deep dark eyes and I felt as if they were undressing me
" That's cause I didn't say it" I still felt his eyes and then he curved his lower lips giving away a small smile. Eva quickly butted in. Pulling him to face her
" Well, I'm Evei, but you can call me Eve" she battered her eyelids again.
" Well, I now that we all know each other would you like to join me on my table?" I was about to decline his offer when Eva burst out
" Oh, your so kind" He led the way to his table, and Eva got up to follow but I dragged her arm back
" What the hell are you doing?"
" Max, I am just having some fun, come on, what's the worst that could happen?"
" A lot."
" Lighten up, I need to have some fun, being with you for the past three weeks has been fun, but I need another kinda fun right now. You know what I mean, so I suggest that you quit worrying and chill abit and get your mind off Lo.. you know who, and come with me and protect me from doing something stupid and waking up in the morning and regretting it, or stay here and drown your sorrows in beer, while some fat ugly bald guys tries to hit on ya" I looked at her, already knowing she had won she dragged me off in the direct of Mr. I am going to undress you with my eyes.
We were heading for a small table right at the back of the Bar, when we arrived we were greeted by another one of his friends, he was also tall and had wavy brown hair and good as good looking as his friend, he stood up when we arrived at his table which took me by surprise, considering that now days many men didn't have manners let alone show them.
"Ladies, I would like to introduce you to Alister, also known as Al" he looked at he and nodded and then he looked at Eva and smiled, I immediately saw that he had taken a liking to her, and again he did the whole thing with the eyelids.
"Al this is Eve, and her friend ..um…"
" Max, short for Max, so you can call me Max" Mr. Undress me looked at me, and understood that I was mocking him, however he seemed to like it cause he gave me that look with his eyes again. Al took out a chair next to him and gestured for Eve, I mean Eva, to sit next to him, taking the hint I sat on the other side of Eva next to Mr. Undress me. He was the first to speak
" So you ladies seem like your a long way from home" Eva turned to him and said
" Well, that depends on where home is, " she turned back to Al " you'know they say home is where the heart is". As soon as she said that I thought that I was going hurl, that was the most disgusting and most pathetic line I had heard. I think Mr. Undress me felt the same way cause he let out this little laugh
"So what are you two doing in a place like this at " he glanced at his watch " 4am in the morning, it can be dangerous"
" Well, I am sure we can look after ourselves" he glanced at me knowing that I was pissed off at the fact that he made us out to be defenceless women, fact was that we could kick both their asses before they could blink, if we wanted to, and God knows I wanted too.
Soon enough, Eva was busy in conversation with Al, and I was left alone with him, Mr. Undress me.
" So… Max was it?. How long are you staying in town?" I was looking down in my beer and playing with a napkin, I looked up and there I saw the eyes again, accept this time they were more….gentle and he looked genuinely interested in what I was going to say
"UM, I not sure yet! Maybe a week, maybe two" it was a lie I knew that we were probably going to leave the next day, unless of course Eva feel madly in love and got married, and when I looked over at her, it looked like it were possible.
" So, you never told me where you are from, I gathered from Eve's accent where she is from, but what about you"
" You, know. I travel a lot. So I don't really have a home, as such" as soon I had told him, I felt guilty and I didn't know why.
" I know, how you feel, most of my life I was going from one foster home to another I never really felt like I had a home, that is of course until I came here. The people here are so kind and welcomed me in to their homes. I really do love it here." Oh great a country boy, just great. Did he really think he could play me with the whole 'foster' child routine? Man what a loser. I thought I'd better get it thorough to him now that I wasn't interested and that he can stop.
" Listen Micheal"
"Please call me Mike"
" OK, MIKE. Before you go into any further embarrassment, I just want you to know that I ain't interested so you can stop laying on the bullshit, and go to someone else who might be dumb enough to fall for it" He looked at me puzzled for a minutes and then bloke into laughter.
" What?"
" Max, you are probably the most stubborn, rude, arrogant person I have met and yet there is something about you that keeps me coming back"
" You just called me arrogant, stubborn and rude, and expect me to sit here and allow you to keep hitting on me?" I got up and pushed my chair back when he grabbed my hand. I was about to break it but There was something about his touch. I looked down at his hand holding my arm and then I looked back at him, he took the warning and let go.
" Max, Please I didn't mean it like that. Please sit down. I didn't mean to offend you" I looked at him again and there were those eyes again. So I slowly regained myself and sat down
" I didn't mean to offend, you it is just that there are so many women that come in here, but you are different. There is something about you, I noticed it when you walked in."
" Oh, and here I was thinking it was Eva you noticed" he smiled
" No, it was you. But Eva seemed alittle more…. How can I say it without offending you again. Um….."
" Approachable" he smiled again
" Um, yes Approachable, would be one way to put it." I look up at him and for the first time that night I smiled. There was something about him that I couldn't put my finger on it but he reminded me of someone.
" So anyway, I noticed you and I knew that I had to meet you, unfortunately you felt differently" for the first time I was feeling more and more comfortable with him. Eva and Al were so engrossed with themselves I don't think she would have realised if I had walked out, she then got up with him and walked over to the dance floor, leaving me and HIM. I was beginning to get nervous cause I knew that there was something about him that attracted me to him, but I didn't know what and I didn't want to find out.
" Mike, I am flattered but like I said before I am not interested."
" I understand completely, don't worry. I am backing off as we speak" I laughed again. He sensed that I was getting more comfortably, and I didn't like it. I was not going to let my guard down. I promised my self. I AM NOT LETTING MY GUARD DOWN.
A/n: oh oh yes there is another one………..
