I've never been to New York, I'm just guessing so forgive my inaccuracies. I am after all African :)

Watching as the cubes slowly disappeared in the dark liquor you'd ordered a solid hour ago, you sighed. It had been an eventful night for you and you wanted nothing more then to forget it all had even happened. I wanted to go home and wait til the next day rolled in but I subtly found myself in a New York bar, sipping on brown liquor on the rocks as they said. The bell by the door chimed, I didn't bother to look up. I mean it was a bar obviously people were coming and going.

"Your strongest drink" a rustic voice said over the low jazz music playing through the air
"Rough night?" I said still not taking my eyes off the swirling drink
"Yeah" he said lightly chuckling and taking a seat next to me "What gave it away?"
"Nothing much just the "strongest drink" part" I shrugged receiving another light chuckle before a silence settle between us

I instantly began to feel a pang if regret for intruding in his life, I mean who was I to ask if he had a rough night if I was having one myself. I looked up at the man to be met by a man who wore glasses, his hair was messy, like he had run his fingers through it constantly maybe as a way to release the stress. He wore an abyss of chains hanging from his neck with a lock and a longer one connected to his phone which sat plainly on the bar top

"I'm sorry- for intruding" I said stumbling over my words. An airy laugh emitted at my comment
"It's okay, honestly" he said turning to look at me "I'd assume the exact same"
"I guess" I shrugged
"Rough night as well?" He asked sizing me up
"What gave me away?" I asked lightly laughing before taking the glass between my lips and tilting it it sip the liquid
"The dry mascara on your eyes" he said pointing to his own eyes to show me
"Dammit and she said it was water proof" I said earning another chuckle

It was as if his chuckles were magic to my ears, I didn't know him but I felt myself being drawn to this stranger more and more and as the night proceeded he seemed interested in every topic I brought up, not missing a single beat as the drinks kept flowing and by the end of the night it was safe to say I had forgotten all about the reason I was here

"It's getting late" he said looking at his watch
"Yeah, I should get home. I have a baby shower to attend tomorrow" I stirred slightly
"Relationship?"
"Sister"
"Oh damn"
"Yeah, now I'm going to hear all about how my sister is married and has a kid and I'm as single as the light poles lighting up this damn city" I replied slightly annoyed at the thought
"Don't worry, any man would be lucky enough to with you" the man said shooting me the smile I had grown to be infactuated with as well
"You know i never got your name" I said squinting as though to remember
"Brandon" he smiled again
"Y/N" I replied shaking his hand "see you around Brandon"

With that I attempted to get up, failing and falling into Brandon's arms as he grabbed me quickly before I hit the dirty floor. A chuckle emitted from his chest as I lay my head on it.

"Guess it's my place then" he said before I passed out completely. The night playing on my mind
