Lancelot stepped into the busy, bar with one thing on his mind. He must find the pretty Carine, and he should do it fast, because the night was going to be soon ended. So deciding that the bar would be the best place to find a bar maid he set off for it. On the other hand Carine had seen Lancelot come in, being on edge she watched the door all night. And now that he was here, she didn't know what to do. She told Faira the other girl on duty that she would take her break now. So as Lancelot started towards the bar, Carine sneaked out the side. She opened the door quietly and walked out. She knew that leaving now wasn't going to do anything, because she would just have to go back in, but it was her way of dealing with it right now. She started circling around outside the bar thinking of what she might do, when she had to go back in. Deciding she couldn't think of anything, she sat down on a step and pulled the apple out of her pocket she had taken. She started eating, still looking towards the ground, trying to think.
When she was about done with her apple, she had figured her break was up. She was about to get up, when she looked up and saw a pair of eyes looking at her. They were familiar eyes, and she knew them at once. "I know, I know my break is up." She grumbled to Faira, who had come out to get her. Faira said nothing, but just looked at her. "What is it Faira?" Carine said, starting to get annoyed. "You haven't seemed yourself today, I just wonder what is the matter." Faira said in a quiet voice. "Nothings wrong Faira." Carine said trying to put on smile to show her that indeed nothing was wrong. "Are you worried for him, scared that he won't come back? I miss-""Faira! I said nothing was wrong!" Carine almost screamed. Carine just didn't want to think of him right now, she had this man in the bar right now. No, she just wouldn't let herself think about him.
As Carine got back inside, she saw the man right away. He was sitting at the bar, the place where she would surely have to go. She decided that it would be worse to wait, so she walked slowly to the bar.
Lancelot then saw her, like an angel in the mist of the bar. And she was walking towards him. He quickly looked back to his drink, and waited for her to take her place behind the bar. But she surprised him, instead of behind the bar, she slowly walked next to him, and sat down on the stool. She looked up at him, with her small brown eyes. She was waiting for him, and he knew it.
"Hello, Carine" Was all he could say. "Hello" she said. "Oh by the way, my name is Lancelot, I don't believe I told you that before." "I don't believe so, either." She said, to him she sounded shy and unsure, he just didn't know why. "Are you thirsty? I could order you a drink if you want" Lancelot asked her, hoping he could start a conversation. But all Carine did was look at him then at his drink. Then she reached forward, took his drink, and proceeded to down it, in less the 2 seconds. "Well that works too…" Lancelot laughed nervously. "Is there something you have to say to me Lancelot, or will we just sit here making small talk all night?" Well she sure did get down to the point. "Um…Yes there is. Well... um…I just want to ask you" Lancelot wanted to ask her for a walk, or something like that. He knew he should but…"If you had seen anybody who looked weird or out of place last night, near or in the bar?" Damn it. He knew he wanted to ask her but he just couldn't get the nerve to do it. "Well, no, not anymore than usual." She realized that was talking in short answers that only answered exactly what he asked, but she couldn't trust herself to say anything else. "Well, Lancelot if that's all you needed to speak with me about I must get back to my shift." Carine hoped off the stool she was sitting on. She needed to get away from Lancelot, the way he was looking at her, made her want him so bad. Lancelot looked at her in a pleading way, like he didn't want her to go so bad.
Now was Lancelot's chance, no time but any other would he be able to ask. "Would you like to take a walk with me?" He had asked it, she knew he had wanted to all night. But she was hoping he wouldn't. "Well, I must get back to work now-"She saw his face instantly drop, she just couldn't do this to him "-but maybe we can go after work." Lancelot smiled a smile that Carine found intensely attractive. "I will be done, in about 1 or so hours." Lancelot kept his smile and went to sit at a bar stool not far from the bar. And that's where he waited till Carine was done with her shift.
