AN: Okay. I revised the last sceen in the last chapter because it didn't follow what I had already written for this part. If you don't wanna go back and read it, basically all I did was take the part out where Becky convinced Damon about seeingif he wanted to take Usagi out on a date… so here's the nextpart hope you enjoy
"So who are we all going to meet tonight?" Usagi asked in the car on there way to the bar.
"Dan, John, Andrew (we call him Shorty), Damon, Jo and Lex is going to be there too. Plus some other people, but they're not any one important." Becky pulled around and parked. Both of the girls got out of the car and walked into the bar, "Oh hey! There's Damon and Jo now!" Becky pointed straight ahead to the bar.
And there he, surely, was; in all handsome glory. He was sitting on a bar stool talking to another girl. He was very nicely put together. He wore a long sleeve, black T. He had pushed the sleeves up to just below his elbows. On his lower half he wore a pair of casual slacks. His gorgeous black hair was full and fine and layered. Shorter in the front and top layers and long in the back and bottom layers, so that it almost reached his shoulders. His eyebrows were dark and masculine, and weren't too thick, so they didn't crowd his smooth, blemish free face. His lips fit his face perfectly. They weren't too big or thick, too small or thin. They were prefect. And his dark luminescent eyes were also very proportionate to his face. It seemed his whole body was well-proportioned. His brood, muscular shoulders, went very well with his muscular arms. Usagi couldn't tell if he had a nice build to the rest of him., since the rest of him was hidden by clothing. She didn't even know if 'muscular' was the right word to describe him. I mean, he was muscular, just not overly muscular, so that he was bulgy. His build was just perfect. He was just perfect. Though, she figured, someone who looked like that had to be the most arrogant, conceited, self-centered person she would most probably meet in her life time. Perfect body, flawed personality.
"Please Damon?" Jo pleaded with her best friend since high school.
"I don't know, Jo. I mean, I just broke up with Cassandra two months ago—"
"That's the beauty of it!" Jo broke in. Damon cocked an eyebrow, "She just got out of a bad relationship herself," Jo continued, "So you already have something in common. And she's nothing like that skank Cassandra. Look, just talk to her tonight, take her out some place some time. Just be friends with her for now. And if you don't develop feeling for her, that's all you have to be. But don't mention that we're trying to set you two up. She may not go for it."
"But you can tell me?" Damon said in a flat voice.
"Yeah. It's her we're trying to help, not you."
"Oh! I see how it is! Did Becky put you up to this? If so I don't want anything to do with it. Remember the guys she's tried to hook you up with?"
"Well, it's different with girls. We're not as creepy. Will you at least give it a thought?"
Damon didn't have time to answer. Someone at the door caught his eye.
It was Becky and another girl, who, he could only assume, was Usagi.
She was breath-taking. Now, he had heard that word used before but he never truly appreciated it until now.
She had the most amazing mass of blonde hair he had ever seen. She had it neatly fixed into a pony in the middle of her head and it hung to the about the middle of her back,with a few locks here and there falling over her shoulders. Her dress wasn't too fancy, just a pair of well fitting jeans and a well fitted red tank top. On her feet were white runners and a small purse hung from her left shoulder. Nothing too fancy, but on her it was stunning. Speaking of stunning, Her ocean blue eyes dazzled him. Damon stood up slowly and walked over to greet them.
Usagi watched as Damon noticed them enter and come over to say hi. Whe he got close enough he greeted them with a smile, "Hello Becky. How are you? And you must be Usagi?" His voice was smooth, with a hint of a German accent behind it. Usagi heart fluttered. He extended his hand offering a hand shake, which Usagi accepted.
" 'Hello, Becky. How are you?' What kind of act are you playing?" Becky said raising her eyebrows.
"I'm not playing any act. I was simply asking how you were?"
Becky scoffed, "Yeah, alright. Whatever you say." She said as she walked by him and greeted her other friends.
Damon watched her go. He turned back to Usagi, "I'm sorry. I'm Damon," He smiled politely, "Can I buy you a drink?"
"Oh, no. I'm fine thank you. I don't drink." Usagi raised her hand, politely declining.
Damon smiled again, "Alright. Then how about just a pop."
It was Usagi's turn to smile, "Okay."
Damon stepped out of the way and motioned with his arm for Usagi to lead the way, he followed close behid and order what she wanted when they reached the bar. Damon had just offered her a seat when he saw John from across the bar waving him over.
"I'd love to stay and chat, but it looks like we're about to go on. But after the show I'd love to sit and talk with you."
"Sure. I'll be right here."
Damon smiled, "Okay. Don't go anywhere."
Usagi returned the smile, "I won't."
"Okay," and with that Damon headed for the stage.
Throughout the performance some guy was hitting on Usagi, despite her best efforts to get rid of him. So when Damon came back she politely said, "I think I may take you up on that drink."
Damon raised his eyebrows, "Oh? I thought you didn't drink."
"I didn't. At least not until him." She pointed in the direction of a middled aged man on the other end of the bar.
"What about him?" Damon asked confused.
"He's been hitting on me the whole time you were performing. No matter what I did he wouldn't leave me alone."
"I wouldn't worry about it, just ignore him. So what will you have?"
"I don't know. Order for me."
Damon caught the bartender's attention and ordered her a cranberry vodka, "So," he said turning his attetion back to Usagi, "Tell me about yourself. It doesn't seem like you're from around here."
By this time the middle-aged man had made his way over to them and began talking to Usagi again, "So? Are you going to come back home with me or not?" Usagi looked over to Damon, who's expression told her to just ignore him, so she said nothing.
"No comment, I see," The man continued, "I just know you'll love my huge hard cock, sliding up your hot wet pussy."
"Hey," Damon stood up, "I think that's enough. It's obvious she's not interested so why don't you just move on."
"I'm sorry," The man apologized, "I didn't realize she had a boyfriend."
"I'm not her boy friend," Damon began.
"Oh so your trying to get into her pants as well. Maybe we can double team her."
"No. I'm just a friend that cares. Now move on, or I will make you."
"Alright, alright! Geez, I'm sorry."
After the man left, Damon sat back down and turned his attentionback to Usagi, "Wow, Can you believe that guy?"
Usagi nodded, acknowledging Damon's statement. She held up her empty glass, "Could I get another one?"
"You're finished that already?" Damon shrugged, "Well, I can't say that blame you." Damon called the bartender over and order her another drink.
"So," Damon said, "We've sat here and talked about our favourite movies,music, songs and the like. But you still haven't told me about you."
"What are you talking about? I told you all about me." Usagi replied and then giggled for a bit.
"No. You told me what you like. Now tell me about Usagi. Where are you from? Your friends, your family."
"Okay, You wanna know about me?" Usagi montioned with her hand for him to come closer and then whispered, "I think I may be a little drunk." And she went off into a giggling episode again.
"Already? You've only had three," Damon watched her down another drink, "Okay, four."
"I told you. I don't drink." Giggles, "Can I have another one? These are SO good. They taste like candy. And guess what? I LOVE candy!"
Damon chuckled and shook his head, "Only if you promise to tell me about yourself."
"I promise. I pinky swear." Usagi held up her little finger, which Damon locked with his.
"Alright." Damon smiled and ordered her another.
"Okay, about me." Usagi said when she had her drink in hand. "I'm from Japan. I have a mother and a father and a younger brother. No pets. I have a few friends; all girls. And no boyfriend."
"No? I thought you would."
Usagi scoffed, "Well, I did. But he was an asshole. That's why I'm here. To get a way from him."
"He didn't abuse you did he?"
"NO. God no nothing like that."
"Good, 'cause then I'd have to kick his ass. So tell me more. Where do you go to school? What are you studying?"
"I go to school with Becky and Alexis. And I'm study to become an acohol and drug conselor."
"Ah. Giving advice to addicts. Help them with their problems. A very noble career."
Usagi scoffed, "Yeah I got some advice for them. STOP IT!" That statement sent Usagi into rifts of laughter, "So, tell me about you." She said when she finally settled down.
"Well," Damon began; rubbing the bottom of his chin in his fist, "I was born and raised in a small village in Germany. You know, the kind where everyone in a three block radious knew each other. After my parents divorce I moved here with my mom and my older brother when I was 14. I'm 24 now, and a pisces. I live with my best friend Jo, who is over there I believe. And I'm in school right now studying to become a doctor."
Usagi's face went dead-pan, "A what?"
"A doctor. Well, a surgeon actually. But you've got to become a doctor fist."
Usagi glared at Damon, "Did I mention that I HATE doctor's?
Damon chuckled, "Not many people don't. I know I hate mine. But I've gotta do something with my life. My mom's a nurse and seeing her working in the emergency ward at the hospital, made me want to do it. Only on a greater scale. I wanna be one of those guys that does surgery when a patient who has just been rushed in needs it. So I guess I'll be saving lives."
Usagi shook her head, "I still hate them. My Ex wanted to be one."
"Ah. So the truth comes out. You don't hate doctors, you just hate them because they remind you of him. You hate anything that reminds you of him."
"Don't pretend you know me."
"I'm not. I've just been through break ups too. And I know what it's like to have your heart ripped out and put through a blender."
Usagi scoffed, "You're a guy. No you don't. You're the ones that do the blending."
"Yes. I do. First you feel angry, then all you want to do is cry, then you feel that what ever went wrong is totally your fault, even though it wasn't. And that's when the questions start to come up. 'could I have done this differently?' 'what if I was straining the relationship?' 'What if I had only?' so on and so on. Then you can't seem to get them out of your mind. Even when you think that you've gotten over them. You'll see something somewhere that reminds you of them. And the harder you try to get them out of your head, the longer they're there. And soon you feel like nothing you ever do is good enough. And that's when you don't want to get out of bed in the morning. And it seems like the pain will never go away. And the end is nowhere in sight."
Usagi never took her eyes off of Damon while he spoke. Her eyes glazed over with tears, "Yes," She swallowed, "that's exactly what it's like.Exactly." She looked down at the bar for a second, "How did you get over it?"
Damon smiled, "I didn't. But I just remember that everything happens for a reason. Everything happens that was meant to happen. There's nothing you or I could have done to save those relationships. They weren't meant to be. Those people were only supossed to be in our lives for that period of time, however long it was. And even though it hurts like hell, it'll pass and we'll be stronger because of it."
Usagi's tears spilt over, "I don't think it'll ever pass." She leaned forward into Damon's arms.
Damon held her for awhile; comforting her, "It will. I promise, it will."
