Sorry this chapter's so short…thanks for the reviews!
Michelle went over to the bar first before leaving. She decided to finish her chips and maybe chat up the bartender.
Tony sat down next to Michelle. She tried not to notice him as she munched on her chips. He stared her down carefully. She ignored him and started talking to the male bartender.
"So, uh, how long have you worked here?" she asked.
"Darling, I've been here since Barry opened this place up,"
Michelle was a little weirded out by the fact that he had just called her 'darling.'
"Uh, so, what's your name?"
"Philip,"
"Any family in LA?"
"No one, except for my boyfriend, Chuck, and thank God!"
Michelle could have guessed that Philip was gay. Just by the way he talked, and because he was wearing a pink sweater and tight jeans.
"Why thank God?"
"Because of that whole nuclear bomb thingy a month ago," Philip replied and sighed.
"How'd you find out?"
"Oh, sweetie, how'd you find out? I heard some guy talking about it,"
"I was–never mind." Michelle rolled her eyes. "I'll have another beer,"
"Comin' right up," Philip smiled as he reached for another beer from the cooler and handed it to Michelle.
She popped it open and took a swig. She finally looked at Tony as Philip went to go serve another customer.
"We didn't tell anyone about the nuke right?" she asked him.
"Nope. We agreed not to say anything about it till it was detonated." Tony replied. "Speaking of the nuke…you wanna get together, since we stopped it and everything."
Michelle took another swig of beer. "Since we stopped it, and since you asked, okay,"
Tony's eyes lit up and he did something totally out of character: he kissed her. His kissed her briefly and passionately. Michelle blushed and she walked over to a table at the back of the bar. Tony followed. He sat down and pulled her on his lap, something he never would have done without the alcohol. Michelle was a little taken aback by the action, but slowly settled down. She put her beer down, and returned his kiss, this time longer and more intense. Tony smiled when she finally broke it, and reached for her beer. He took a gulp, and the Michelle brought the bottle to her lips and finished it off.
"It's a date," She said, before giving him another kiss and getting up and leaving.
