I recently moved to Chicago after living in Tampa for almost three years, for work. I grow up in New York but I always loved Chicago. Now I'm finally living there - even though I'm hardly home. I can't wait for those nice days off.

I had just finished my first beer. I know, I'm slow. Roman's on his second, so is Seth.
"I love scary movies, the ones that actually scare you though. Not those scary movies like Saw. That's not scary, it's just gross" I said.
"Nah..I like those kinds of movies." Roman said.
"You like all kinds of movies Roman" Seth started. "I hate scary movies. I think they're pointless..and I know just the person who would agree with me" he smiled.
"That would be me, right?" Dean Ambrose said as he walked up to the booth and sat down next to Roman - with a beer in hand.
Seth nodded.
"Yeah, I don't like getting scared for no reason" Dean shrugged.
This might sound bitchy but, even though we haven't even talked yet and he's been here less than a second, I already felt annoyed by him. Is that bad? He sits here with his black leather jacket and his hair is all messy because of his beanie. His voice is all raspy and he has this stupid smirk glued onto his face.
"Hey!!" Seth snapped his fingers in front of my face.
"Take a picture if you want, it'll last longer" Dean smirked at me.
"Sorry" I said rather awkwardly. "Im Beau" I smiled at Dean.
"Beau" he repeated. "Weird name."
"It's actually Bailey, but I hate that name so..."
"So you went with Beau?" he raised an eyebrow.
I shrugged.
"I think it's cool" Seth said.
"Thanks" I chuckled.
"You know who has a weird name" Roman started. "Fandango. Like, I know it's his ring name but come on, that's gotta suck having fans run up to you and say, 'hey fandango can I get a picture.'"
"I like to call him Dango, he seems to actually like it" I laugh.
"Really" Roman gives me a weird look. "Dango... I'm gonna remember that" he nodded then took a sip of his beer.
"Is this what you guys do every Friday?" Dean sighed. "Every Friday when I ask you two-" he looked at Seth and Roman. "where you guys are going, you always say 'bar with Beau'. I started to think it must be fun that's why they go, so I come this one time and you're talking about peoples names." He looked at us with a bored look.
"If you think this is so boring, why are you still here?" I asked.
He stared at me kinda offended. "You want me to leave, Bailey?"
"No no, I'm just saying if you're bored, you don't have to stay. And please, call me Beau." I gave him a friendly smile.
"Nah, I'm gonna stay" he crossed his arms while still staring at me. "I'm gonna stay... until I pick up one of these chicks" he says before looking around the bar.
"That's a good idea" Seth said as he also looks around the bar. "I like that one"
''You mean her. Not that one'' I nudged Seth.
"Uh yeah, sorry"
I rolled my eyes before looking over at Roman who was busy texting.
"Who ya texting?"
"Your sister" he chuckled.
"I don't have a sister" I laughed. "But really, who are you texting?" I looked over at his phone screen.
"You're so nosey" Roman laughed. "I'm texting Jimmy, he needs me to pick him and Jay up from the airport, they've had a crazy travel day" he sighed before getting up. "See you guys tomorrow" Roman said before putting a 20 dollar bill down on the table.
"Dean, you think she has a boyfriend?" Seth asked as he was staring at a girl sitting alone at a table. She has long blond hair and a tight short blue dress on.
"Mmm... I don't know. What do you think Beau" Dean looked over at me.
I stared at the girl a little longer. "She doesn't have a boyfriend but she might have a girlfriend(?)"
"Wow" Seth turned to me. "What makes you think that?"
"I don't think I know, the bracelet on her hand is from a gay and lesbian club around here. I know this because my old roommate was a lesbian and she went to that club all the time in Tampa. She had to wear that same bracelet." I took a sip of my beer. "She could be Bi, but who knows" I shrugged.
"You're good" Seth smiled at me.
"Not really, I'm just pointing out what I know" I shrugged.
"Why don't you go talk to her?" Dean asked.
"Because I'm not into that." I squinted my eyes at him. "I'm straight, not that I have anything against-"
He interrupted me "It's always good to try new things."
"I don't want to" I said quietly.
"Whatever" Dean shrugged. He looked over and saw another girl with a tight black skirt on and a red crop top that wasn't covering much. She was wasted and hitting on almost every guy. "I'm out" Dean said as he got up and went right over to the girl. Within seconds her arm was wrapped around Dean's and they were walking out of the bar.
"That's Dean" Seth chuckled.
"You know you could still have a chance with that girl, she might be Bi"
Seth thought about it for a little bit. "You're right" he smiled. As soon as we looked up another girl was sitting with her...more like on her. A heated make out session in the middle of the bar.
"Damn" Seth said as he stared at them.
"It's late...you wanna get going?" I asked with a smirk.
"Sure..but I'll get a girl next time" Seth said as he finally looked away.
"Sure Seth, sure"
