6:55pm

Robin pulled in front of Jake's and wondered why she had ever agreed to this date. She pulled out her phone and dialed Jason's number. "Hang on" he answered.

"Mommy!" yelled the little voice on the other end.

"Hey baby. Are you having fun with daddy?" Robin asked through the phone.

"Yes, we got ice cream and went to the park" Drew answered her excitedly.

"Oh, wow that's great" Robin replied before adding "I love you so much baby, have a good night and I'll see you in the morning"

"Good night mommy love you" the voice said before she heard the phone click.

She had a big smile on her face, she didn't know how she got so lucky. She had an amazing little boy; he was her whole world. She snapped back to reality when she realized that it was 7pm. So, she grabbed her cross-body purse and headed into Jake's.

She was wearing a yellow tank top and denim capris that accentuated her butt. There weren't many people in the bar. She walked up to the bar and sat down. "Hey Coleman, give me a tequila shot" she called out when Coleman waved to her. She knew that she was going to need to start this date with some alcohol in her.

She took her tequila shot and talked to Coleman for a few minutes. She glanced down at her phone, it was 7:10pm and she wondered where Patrick was. She asked Coleman for a strawberry margarita.

She drank some of her margarita and then decided to go over to the jukebox and choose a song. She was scrolling through the songs when Carly walked through the door. Robin rolled her eyes and brushed her hair in front of her face hoping that Carly wouldn't see her. Robin chose a song and then walked back over to the bar. She picked up her phone and realized that it was 7:20pm and Patrick still wasn't there. She felt a little bit of disappointment and asked Coleman for another tequila shot. When she spoke, it drew Carly's attention toward her, "Shouldn't you be home taking care of your son?" Carly spat.

"Jason has him tonight" Robin said blatantly before downing her tequila shot.

"Well I'll be sure to let him know what you do in your spare time" Carly said back before leaving with a bag of food.

Robin was so annoyed. But she knew that Jason didn't care what she did when she didn't have Drew as she didn't care what he did when he didn't have Drew. In fact they were still friends despite everything that happened, except when he still tried to come on to her or get her back, that just pissed her off and he knew it. She looked at her phone and saw that it was now 7:30pm and she got even more annoyed, because she thought that Patrick was standing her up. She started to feel the alcohol and decided to take a walk to the bathroom. She told herself that if Patrick wasn't there when she came back out that she would go home.

When Robin walked out of the bathroom, she could see Patrick standing by the bar and she found a small smile creep up on her lips. He looked so handsome, he had a purplish colored button up shirt on and a pair of jeans. Robin walked over to him and said, "Nice of you to finally show up."

Patrick looked startled "I'm so sorry, I got stuck in surgery. I would have texted you, but you never gave me your number" he said with an apologetic look on his face.

Robin scoffed at Patrick's reply then she turned to him and said, "What are you drinking?"

"Oh, so that's what we are doing?" he asked as he raised an eyebrow at her.

"Duh" she replied, before calling Coleman over to get Patrick a drink.

"I'll take a beer and a Yager bomb" Patrick told Coleman "Also, add her drinks to my tab" he added pointing to Robin.

Patrick turned to Robin "So this isn't exactly what I would call a date" he said.

Robin shrugged her shoulders before ordering another margarita. She turned to Patrick "How come you wanted to take me on a date so bad when we just met?"

"Well you're beautiful and I thought I better take a chance" Patrick said giving her a wink.

Robin almost rolled her eyes at him but stopped herself. "That's cheesy" Robin replied taking a big gulp of her margarita.

"How much did you drink?" Patrick asked noticing that she was a little tipsy.

"A few shots"

"Shots?" Patrick asked looking shocked.

"Yeah" Robin said before sitting on the bar stool, she patted the bar stool next to her for Patrick to sit down.

Patrick took a seat next to her and took a sip of his beer before saying, "I'm surprised you agreed to go out with me".

"You blackmailed me"

"I did not, all I said was that you owed me"

Robin rolled her eyes "Whatever. So, what brought you to Port Charles?"

"The job opportunity and being able to work closely with you" Patrick answered smugly.

"Stop hitting on me" Robin replied.

"Dr. Scorpio, it's the truth. I heard about the amazing work that you have done, and I really do want to work with you."

"Since we are on a "date" then I think you should call me Robin" she said putting air quotes around the word date.

Patrick ignored her air quotes and stood up. "Let's play pool." He stated as he grabbed his beer and Robin's margarita.

Please don't forget to review. I really appreciate the feedback.
