Upside Down - Ian x reader

Meeting you at last

| Y/N POV |

It was almost the end of what was a long and tiring day, my work shift which was ending at 9pm was near so I just have to hold off a little while longer. Working here however was a total blast since you got to work with your best friend Tana.

The clanking of drinks hitting tables and the murmuring of conversations buzzing in my ears was a sound that was sweet to you. It's funny to think that just 6 months ago I would of been disgusted at the idea of working in a bar, all I could think of was low pay and shitty treatment. When Tana had suggested we worked there together I accepted becuase let's face it I needed to get a job.

This was different from any just average old bar though to me this bar is my home now. Tana and I know all the locals who come here often and striking up a conversation with them is part of the fun of course. Let's just say taking up this job has really liven up my life a bit.

"(y/n)?? Are you even listening to me stop spacing off" Tana's voice caught me off guard and I turned around too see her grinning wildly at me.

"What now?" I asked her in a sarcastic tone knowing quite well she was about to say something witty or maybe even tease me a bit.

"I just thought I'd let you know your lover boy is here" she said giggling through every word. I gave a loud over dramatic sigh to let her know I wasn't wanted to be bothered about it. I knew exactly what she meant.

"Tana if you save anything I will bury you in the ground tonight"

"Sure (y/n) I'd like to see you try" She said as you sighed again. The so called 'lover boy' she was referring to was the cutest boy I think I'd have ever seen. He was tall with adorable brown hair and glasses. He was a regular at the bar but you hadn't talked to him before, Tana was always sure to remind me when he was here so I go talk to him but I have never gathered the courage of course. Admiring from afar was just my kind of thing since I was shy around strangers sometimes.

With only about twenty five minutes of my shift left I decided to start wiping down the counters and taps as well as putting away some of the cold beer options.

| Ian's POV |

Sitting down at a table with Jordan I looked around and spotted her. She was a employee at my favorite bar for a while now and she was just so breath taking. Another reason besides drinking that made me love the bar so much and yet I didn't even know this girls name. Her laugh from across the bar gives me butterfly's in my stomach and her smile is just so.. cute

"Don't think I didn't see you staring at that girl AGAIN. Go talk to her you wimp" Jordan says ordering a couple drinks from the bar attendee.

"No way someone like her would never be into a guy like me" I laughed but I knew it was true I hadn't really had a girlfriend in a long time.

"What makes you say that Ian?" He questioned.

"Um have you ever met me? All I do is sit in my room and make shitty youtube videos and play video games and speaking of games my gaming channel is dead as fuck" We both laughed at my last remark becuase we both knew I hadn't uploaded to it in ages. Suddenly Jordan winks at me and I'm confused but than a cheery voice hit my ears.

"Here's your drinks guys!"

I turned to see the girl with some drinks in her hand, she placed them on the table and she lingered for a little bit. She looked a flustered.. was she blushing?

"Thank you, not in a weird way or anything but my friend Ian here was wondering if he could get your phone number?" Joarden asked with a smile on his face. She looked a little suprised but then she smiled.

"You know how often we bar girls get that?" She laughed and then turned towards me.

"Nice to meet you Ian, I'm (y/n) and I will be right back with your check guys!" She gave a small giggle and turned around back to the bar station. I followed her with my eyes in dissapointment.

"Flat out rejected" I sighed.

"Told you she wouldn't be interested" a pang of sadness hit me, could I even come back to the bar? This was embarrassing as hell.

"Well you never know unless you try, huh? I'm sorry though Ian maybe I shouldn't of said anything" Jordan sighed finishing the last sips of his drink.

"Here's your check thanks for stopping in, Have a good night guys!" (Y/n) placed a tab on the table and turned away back to the bar station. Jordan and I went up to the front to pay the bill and I opened the tab to look at the amount and was shocked. She had put her phone number in the tab!

I chuckled out loud reading it to Jordan, I couldn't believe she, the girl I had been crushing on forever actually gave me her number?? Her handwriting was cute and curly and she had left a little heart next to my name.

'For Ian ♡ 000-000-0000'

| Y/N POV |

I watched as Ian smiled reading the note and couldn't help but squeal in happiness. I can't believe it I had finally met the cute boy at last. He left the bar with his friend and Tana and I jumped up and down and screamed.

"Now I just needed to wait for his text! Ahh I don't think I can wait that long!" I was 100% positive at this point I was gonna pass out from squealing like an little girl so much. Tana and I were starting to get strange looks.

"Don't worry (y/n) I'm sure he will text you before you know it!"

Today was the end of a long and tiring but now exciting and amazing day. I finished my work and headed home with my mind racing thousands of miles per second.
