Now on with the story.
She decided that tonight was a night for friends. She called Amy, Lita, Mina, and Raye to see if they wanted to go out tonight. They had all quickly agreed since she doesn't get out much while on the job but it was also a rare occasion when it was her doing the asking.
She pulled up to the bar where they were to meet. It wasn't too shabby, but it was the only one in town. It was a bar where friends could kick back and enjoy each others company. In her town everyone knows everybody and everybody knows everyone's business.
It was a town where a twelve pack of beer and some lays original was a four course meal. Not to say the town was poor it just isn't the richest either. It was like most small towns are proud, tall and together on all things, through thick and thin.
There were only two hundred students in the whole district.
Every now and again there were 'bouts of vandalism and stealing. Nothing major until now at least.
She walked into the bar at a quarter 'til nine and the place was hopping and from what she could see people were having a grand 'ole time just throwing back beers and listening to the old fisherman tell stories of past trips through the bayou and such, each ending with the biggest or smallest catch of their lives.
She spotted her friends at the bar and walked over to them. They all stood and gave her a hug.
"You look great!" Exclaimed Amy.
"Yeah." Agreed Mina.
"I hope you are ready for a night of wild fun and excitement." Said Lita.
"Yeah." Piped in Raye. "Lets get extremely drunk and show this bar a real party."
She shifted into cop mode. "I hope your not driving home?"
"Party pooper, that's half the fun." Mina said.
"What have I told you about drinking and driving? Not only is it not safe for you but it is…"
"Isn't safe for others. Sere cut the cop act I rode the bus and we were only joking." Said Raye.
"And we could always get beer and take it to one of our houses." Suggested Lita.
"But the whole point of going out is not staying home." Said Mina in a fake whine.
"Whatever. I'm going to order a beer." Serena said walking to the bar.
She walked up to the bar and looked for the tender. He was leaning comfortably against the bar wiping out a glass with a towel draped across his shoulder talking to a customer. He was quite cute. He was wearing a button up dress shirt that was a black color. A pair of khaki's, his shirt was untucked and his ebony hair a mess. He also had a little shade of stubble across his chin. All in all she thought he looked sexy.
"Excuse me." She said trying to get his attention.
He gave her a hand that said 'I'll be there in a minute.'
While she waited she turned away from the bar. Her friends were out on the dance floor making complete fools of themselves.
The alcohol was beginning to take affect in them already. Mina was trying to do something similar to the sprinkler, Raye was dancing erotically with some one night stand, Lita was talking with Amy and Mina was trying to get them to dance with her.
A light tap on her shoulder got her attention. She turned to see the bar tender waiting.
"What can I get you?"
"A beer thanks." 'He looks familiar.'
"Here you are. "She turned and went to grab her beer when her hand touched his and it clicked.
"Darien?"
"Yeah." He looked a little confused. "Do I know you?" Of course he knew her.
"I'm sorry. It must have been a mistake." She got a flashback of her dream and downed her beer in one gulp. "Another please."
"You might want to drink a little slower. Don't want you driving home drunk."
"Don't worry I'm a cop. I would have to arrest myself." 'Why in the heck am I flirting with a guy who has the same name and reminds me of the guy who haunts my nightmares and my dreams?'
Her thought were never to be answered because Mina came over and tried to pull her out on the dance floor.
"Dance with me." She pleaded.
"You know I can't dance."
"So what maybe we could ask the sexy bar tender to help seems you two were pretty cozy."
"No."
Mina then began to give her the pout. "Fine." She gave up.
Mina gave a hoot and pulled her out farther.
They danced for a while and then Mina asked. "So do you know the bar tender?"
"Nope."
"Mind if I move in on his friend? He's kind of sexy."
"Which one?"
"The blonde one."
"Why would I care?"
"Just making sure." She then left her and walked up to the man. 'Go get 'em girl.'
Serena decided not to dance any longer. She needed air her brain was a little fuzzy from lack of sleep. No doubt booze wouldn't help.
She was never nervous about asking a guy out so why was she this time.
"Hey."
"Hey." He replied back.
She looked for the bar tender but to no avail he was gone. "Where's your friend the tender?"
"I don't know. Is there something I can get you?" He hopped over behind the bar and leaned against it to talk to her.
"Um, how about something you like."
"Well I always like a good Glenlivet."
"Sounds good to me." He poured her a glass and set the bottle down on the counter. "Just add it to my tab. Mina Aino.(I think that is her last name. I can't remember call it old age even though I am only in high school, heh)" She leaned over the bar exposing a little of her cleavage as she pointed to her name in a small tab booklet.
He gulped and she smirked knowing that her job was already taking affect.
"So my name is Mina, what's yours?"
"Andrew."
"Andrew." She repeated. "Sexy. So Andrew what do you do when your not filling in for the usual tender?"
"Well I run the diner in town."
"Oh yeah I have always wondered who was the owner."
"Well now you know."
"So now I do." She smiled at him. "Do you dance?"
"A little."
"Wanna show me some of your moves?"
"If you insist." He hopped back onto the other side of the bar and offered her his arm. She took it smiling and led him out onto the floor.
She walked out the door and felt the cool air caress her face. She sat down on a picnic table and wished she had a beer. She then felt a presence behind her and she turned to see who it was.
It was the bar tender in all his sexiness and glory carrying a couple of beers and the towel still on his shoulder.
He walked over and sat down next to her offering her the beer. "Do you read minds or was this coincidence?" She took the beer and drank a bit.
He looked at her confused for a moment then said, "I have no clue what you are talking about."
"I was just thinking I would like a beer and here you are carrying what I wanted."
He sat there for about five minutes thinking then said, "Coincidence."
"Huh?"
"You asked whether I was a mind reader or not and seeing as I just tried to read your mind I am not."
She laughed at him then smiled. "So do you always charm the girls?"
"No only you." He whispered so that she couldn't hear.
"The sky sure is beautiful tonight." She said looking at the sky in thought.
"Yes, yes you are." He said not taking his eyes off her.
"Huh?" She said looking at him. "I think it might be the booze but……nah never mind."
He just smiled and lay back on the picnic table. "Are you always this talkative or is it just because of me."
"I am so not going to answer that. Don't you think it the least bit rude to ask a customer questions that are arrogant?"
"Arrogant, I was only making a statement."
"A statement that isn't true." She said under her breath.
He smirked. "Then explain to me why you are talkative I don't remember ever hearing you talk this much except when you are with me."
"What do you mean whenever I am with you? I just met you."
"I think not. You seriously don't remember me."
"No." She looked closer at him. "But you remind me of my dream monster."
He chuckled. "Dream monster?"
"Don't let the boys down at the office know. They would make fun of me for the rest of my career."
"Go on."
"Well every night for the past who knows how long this guy is in my dream and each time I think it is real. The cases are different but it is always the same guy. He is a….. You promise not to laugh?"
"Cross my heart."
"She turned away. "Your going to laugh I know it. But anyways, He is a vampire and he always talks to me asking if I remember and I always hear this music and it is always at night. He gets angry when I say I don't remember and tries to bite my neck. Weird I know but thank you for not laughing."
"No problem at all." He took a drink of his beer. "So what does this vampire look like?"
She turned back to face him. "Like you. Same name." She reached out and ran her fingers along his jaw murmuring. "Same jaw structure." She then traced his eyebrow with a finger. "Same eyes." She then ran her hand through his hair. "Same short black hair." By now he was leaning into her touch. He felt his canines come alive to each of her sensual touches.
She stopped and then he looked into her eyes. "If I didn't know any better I would say you were him come alive." She turned her gaze away.
"Maybe there is a reason you are seeing me in your dreams."
"Maybe." She turned it back on him. "Well," She said getting up off the bench. "I better go g my friends before they become too drunk to even get on the bus. Bye" She began walking back to the building.
"When will I see you again?"
She turned and raised an eyebrow to his question. "I don't know. Why don't you give me a call sometime and if I'm not too busy maybe something could happen." She walked back to him pulling a pen out of her purse. "May I?" She asked pointing to him hand.
"By all means." He offered his hand.
She took his hand in hers and turned back toward the bar so that the back of her body was facing his front and she was only two inches away. He could have groaned at their closeness but didn't. Her smell was amplifying his senses and she was the last person who needed to know. At least not until later. He waited as the pen glided over his skin. He savored her touch and when she pulled away he turned her back to him and gave her a kiss on the cheek. "Until we meet again."
"Until we meet again." She agreed giving him a kiss on his cheek too.
He would forever feel the lingering touch of her lips on his cheek and wish for more.
He could only watch her retreating form go back into the bar and walk into it himself.
She found Lita passed out on the bar, Raye drinking yet another beer, and Ami mumbling incoherent words while in her drunk. They were all watching something out on the dance floor. She turned and looked to where they were looking. Mina was all but screwing some guy on the dance floor. 'So she got with blondie after all' Seeing that her friends were basically incapable of moving on their own accord she too them one by one to her car and strapped them in saving Mina for last since she would be the hardest.
She walked up to the couple while the was a slow song on. "Mina it's time to go honey."
"I don't wanna go." She said slurring her words together.
"I could take her home."
"No offense but I hardly know you she hardly knows you and I'm a cop. I don't want to deal wit another rape in the morning on top of whatever else the day will throw at me tomorrow. She goes home with me." Blondie stepped back and offered her arm to me. I took it around my shoulder and hobbled the drunk Mina out the door.
"I think I love him." She said slurring again
"No you don't. You're just too drunk to know the difference.
"Am not." She fought.
"Whatever Mina. In the car you go."
She set her down then pushed her legs into the car and shut the door.
This was going to be a long night.
