I cam home from working late at the bar jumping, into the shower. The hot water running over all my sore muscles. The water was refreshing, much needed after lugging kegs and running around all night. Looking down at my fingers I could see the skin become wrinkly, reluctantly I turned off the water and changed for bed. While laying in bed getting comfortable I hear footsteps coming towards the door, the person behind opening it.

Bob stands in the doorway wearing plaid pajama bottoms hanging dangerously low on his waist and no shirt. "There's my girl" he grins walking over to the bed "I was wondering when you would get home". Bob crawls on top of me planting a kiss on my forehead. Giggling I respond "Well what are your going to do about it?". He looks back at me blushing before leaning in slowly to connect our lips.

I wake up, its 4:58am. Realizing I just dreamt about Bob I had to step outside for some fresh air. Conversing with myself out loud "Why did you dream about this guy. You literally met him 6 hours ago, why is this happening. All through out college you never felt this connected to anyone. What is happening to you Y/N. Hey maybe its okay" I try to reason with myself "maybe we should just take it slow and see what happens. I mean he seems like a really nice guy, you felt comfortable being around him and he's very attractive. Maybe you should give him a chance, this is how people get into relationships after all. Come on Y/N you should know its about time you officially commit to someone. Just take a leap of faith. Well if there is one to take at all, this is assuming Bob is into me."

Groaning I walk over to the porch swing next to me and grab a pillow. Bringing it up to my face screaming into it as hard as I could. "Its okay stop thinking and go back to bed. Y/N you're being dumb" finishing the conversation with myself I head back to bed hoping that I don't have another dream about Bob.

Right?

I was crouched behind the bar when I heard the bell on the door ring. Confused at who that could be I stand up and see Maverick standing there with a wad of cash. "Hey, what are you doing here?" I ask walking around the bar and over to him.

"Is your sister Penny here?" He looks down at the cash in his hand "I have some money I owe her for being an ass".

I laugh taking the cash from his hand and putting it in my back pocket "No she's at the bank getting cash, oddly enough". I walk back behind the bar going back to the work I was doing "I'll let her know you stopped by if you want".

"yeah that would be great, uh- thanks Y/N"

Before he had a chance to leave I ask "So why are you back in town? I thought you graduated from Top Gun?".

"Oh they needed a teacher for a special mission, you know lots of top secret stuff" he seemed to be feeling awkward being here for Penny and coming up short.

"Oh okay, well I have to get back to inventory but it was nice seeing you" I reply to maverick just as awkward. I never talked to him much I never really met him either and when I did I was really young. All I know about him was from what Penny told me.

"See you around Y/N" right as Maverick was about to leave the door opened again ringing its bell. I look over and to my surprise I see Bob standing there caught off guard that Maverick is here. Both embarrassed they walk by each other without saying a word. Bob walks up to me and sits on a stool at the bar. "What can I get you to drink?" I asked jokingly.

"Oh I'm not here for a drink" Bob laughs "I uh, I'm actually here to cash in that favor you owe me" he was looking down at his hands, fidgeting with his fingers.

"Hmm, what's this favor then?" I ask putting my elbows on the counter leaning in towards him

"Hmm, what's this favor then?" I ask putting my elbows on the counter leaning in towards him. Our faces were now only twelve inches apart. Bob looked up at me "I wanted to take you on a date, if that's okay with you?" he leaned in closer to me shortening the distance between us. I could feel his warm breath on my arms. I looked down at his lips remembering the dream from last night.

Snapping out of my trance I look back in his eyes "Where are we going for this date?" I ask trying to play it cool.

"I was thinking we could roast s'mores on the beach?" He says blushing, looking down at his hands, leaning back in his seat.

Noticing how insecure he was about his date idea made me smile "That sounds like a lot of fun, I'd love to" I place my hand on his. Bob looked back up with surprise, grinning "So I'll pick you up here at 8?" taking my hand and rubbing his thumb over the back of it. Feeling his hand on mine made my stomach sink to the floor, my legs felt like noodles, it made my face heat up with the warmth of a thousand suns. I just wanted to collapse right here on the floor. I smile nodding not being able to get any words out.

"Great I'll see you then" Bob smiles before letting go of my hand and leaving. I could see him walking in the parking lot through the windows and saw him pump his fist in front of his chest from excitement. Shaking my head I texted Penny letting her know that I would be leaving early again and it was for a date with Bob Floyd, she responded with a snarky text about being "safe". Rolling my eyes I went back to work, so excited and nervous for my date tonight.
