I walked down the hallway of the building and stopped at the corner of the lobby and pulled out a cigarette and lit it, I then heard the door open and Rika appeared she smiled to see me “hey again stranger” she said I waved at her “how's the place so far surprised to see you survived the night” she giggled “well it was fun to sleep on a bag full of clothes and a laptop” she giggled more “you sure are the funny type of guy aren’t you, I never got to ask you this but are you single?” she asked and I chuckled a little “yeah but not really looking for anything right now” she gave a sly smirk “well I’m wondering if I can treat you to a drink with me tonight there is a bar close from here if you like” she said sweetly. I don’t know if I can trust this. I've only just arrived and I got myself a drinking date with some girl but I do need something to lighten the mood and it would be good to make some friends in this hell whole at least till then I can keep some protection from the cops. “yeah sure that would be nice” she squealed “but I'm paying my treat’ I smiled “but what bring you here anyway?” she looked confused when I said that but quickly remembered “o-oh yeah I just came here for something I forgot in my friends' apartment but it can wait it’s just a small thing'' she smiled “but I’ll see you around 7:00 pm “ I nodded then gave a soft smile then left the building. Well, I should definitely keep my guard all the way up with her.

I walked out of the building to the bar after sleeping for a bit and opened the door. As I entered the establishment there were 3 dudes and a group of 5 girls getting wasted and chatting and some loner in the corner having a beer to himself. I went to the stools and sat down. The bartender went up to me “hello sir can I get you anything” he asked me “Yeah I would like whiskey too please” I asked he nodded and walked off I looked around the bar. It had a kind of in-the-woods type of decoration guns,  paintings, and a taxidermied deer on the wall classic bar to find the most disgusting men and women in the world would be a shame if such an innocent outsider came in here, and be victim to get drugged and raped or be beat up because you breathed the wrong way. I looked at the waitresses. They wore short white mini skirts, so you could almost see their panties, high-top boots, and plaid bras. One of the girls winked at me and offered me a private room. I politely declined and she looked disappointed so she walked away. I felt a hand on my shoulder “ignore sluts like them the girls here only want to sleep with you and steal your money” she said glaring daggers at a girl at a far table flirting and pushing her cleavage to the group of guys “fucking skank” she spat. She seems to have a hate boner for the girls here but can’t really blame her since we live in an area like this in other places. I would understand some people are forced to do stuff like this for money to survive. But from the looks of it, I don’t think the girls here need the money. Rika looked at me with a soft smile again ignoring the little comment she said earlier.  “Well, Alex, what are you getting to drink here?” she asked. I shrugged “just getting a plain whiskey glass that's all” she looked disappointed with my response “that’s all your getting? I mean come on let us get drunk tonight it’s not like you need to drive home,” she whined at me, “don’t you need to drive home?” I asked worriedly  “heh did you forget silly I can stay at my girl's apartment for the night”  oh right her ‘girls’ apartment I nodded in acceptance of her answer and she wondered off probably talking to the other people at the tables. The Bartender came to me and gave me my whiskey glass “sorry for the wait I had to take care of some assholes in the back alley” I nodded and took my glass and sipped it. I felt a gaze on me though like someone was watching me I looked around the bar to find out where this was coming from but couldn’t pinpoint who, I sighed and I turned back around and saw a woman with long black hair and a tight black sparkling dress suddenly sitting in the stool next to me she was swirling a glass margarita around. She slowly turned to me, her purple moon eyes piercing my body. She looked beautiful in the way her body fit perfectly into the dress she was wearing damn she looked sexy in it. She raised an eyebrow waiting for me to say something while I was lost at how breathtaking she was “o-oh sorry for staring um” she giggled softly “It’s fine it's not the first time I got looks like that” her voice was almost soothing to hear like I was under some sort of spell just hanging on from every word she spilled from her mouth “you think that dress is a bit overkill? What you just came from a fancy party or something” I pointed out, She gave me a look and looked at her dress and then at the other people in the building “o-oh um I didn’t realize there was a dress code” she mumbled the word stupid under her breath “no hey you look good I mean at least your most normal dressing person I’ve seen", her face went red a little “thanks” she said quietly giving a small smile. She was cute. I had to admit  “so what is your name?” she asked, “oh right I'm rude my name is Alex yours?”

“Jaci my name is Jaci,” she said sweetly I smiled “right nice to meet you Jaci” “it’s a pleasure to meet you Alex” as she said that she placed her hand on mine. Then Rika came over and got in between us rudely pushing Jaci away from me “Say Alex do you wanna come by my house after this” she asked getting uncomfortably close to me and wrapping her arm around mine “uhh well isn’t that a bit weird since we just met yesterday” I glanced at Jaci and she looked like she was ready to commit murder “u-um wasn't that a bit rude of you” Jaci said Rika whipped her head at her and looked her up and down “pfft sorry I didn’t know I was obligated to be nice to gold-digging whores like you” she snapped “so do me a favor and go back to the gutter where you crawled from” I looked at Rika with surprise and disgust “what the fuck is the matter with you?” I said to her Rika looked at me confused “what I'm just trying to help you” I pushed her off me “I can take care of myself I don’t need you coming to my rescue like I'm your boyfriend” I snapped. She looked shocked and walked off the bar giving Jaci a death glare. “Is she your….” I quickly shake my head “no we’re not I just met her yesterday look I just moved here” I said. Her eyes lit up when I said “so can we continue our conversation now” she said sweetly  “yeah we can” I sat down and took another sip of my whiskey this is gonna be an interesting night.
