I smirked to myself as I often did fixing my facial hair in the mirror and making it sit just so. I put a comb through my hair and headed out into the main part of my hotel room. I put my socks on and squirted a little extra aftershave on as I knew it would be warm today. Having to jump a little to get my jeans on. Grabbing my belt from the bedpost slotting my knife in as usual. I grabbed the first shirt out of my bag and ended up with my grey button down so I did it up leaving the top as usual to expose my chains. I slipped my rings on and my shoes and hat taking my keys on the way out. I locked up and headed down the hideously patterned hallways down to the main hall where everyone had gathered for the tournament. With the mass of button-downs and greased hair, I went to the bar and grabbed myself a sprite and I spotted a familiar camera on the marble bar top.
"Morning towns"
"Morning Watts" he smiled back "you signed in?"
"Not yet. Wanted a drink first"
"Why worried?"
"Worried? Me? Not at all towns. Well have this wrapped up prize money in hand by this afternoon"
"Would you like an interesting bit of information about the competition?"
"I don't need it" I smirked
"Alright" he laughed having a little more drink
"Tell me anyway"
"I found something of interest this tournament"
"What? Are we actually playing on wooden boards this time?"
"No something even more interesting"
"Oh? Go on then don't keep me in suspense"
"I believe I found the future Mrs Watts"
"What?" I choked up laughing
"You haven't seen her yet? Have you?"
"Trust me. You'll know her when you see her. And I'll be the first to recommend myself. I shoot great wedding pictures" he smirked winking at me before heading off I assumed he was joking so I didn't think much more about it I signed in and wondered around keeping an eye on the few faces I knew could possibly be worth more than a thought
"Get lost perv!" I heard across the way it was undoubtedly a female voice so I looked over the hotel lobby and...
I saw her.
These little black boots sat happily at her ankles, with little wedge heels. These skin-tight blue jeans that exposed her every curve and crevice a fairly sizable ass had been squeezed in them to the extent I'd be a little worried if she bent over that the back seam would bust, the jeans up to her waist with a black belt around her hips a holster on her right hip holding something that I couldn't see but the belt had bullet loops that she has stored something in not sure what little gold tubes only two or three of them sat there. She had a blue button-down the sleeves rolled to just above her elbows a tattoo clearly on her arm of what I couldn't see from here, the shirt tucked into her jeans the top buttons undone to reveal a little cleavage. Little makeup on her face but a blood red lip and some eye liner her hair in this intricate fire maybe even six strand braid that went all the way down her back in a braid it went to the small of her back god know how long it was out of it. She was standing with a young boy named Quinn that I knew well he had a tendency to be an asshole to the few women who show up every now and again. Given where his hand was he clearly slapped her ass and honestly having seen her ass I'm not sure I blame him for trying... cause I think I would have in his situation.
And her response was a hard slap in the face loud enough people looked and his face turned bright red his eye-watering.
She looked pissed and walked off into another part of the hotel and I have to admit I watched her every step as she left.
"Fuck."
"Yeah. I did say" towens laughed as he has heard me
"She.... Shes-" I began lost for words a little
"What's this then, the masterful Benny Watts has a crush?"
"Shut up towns. She's... nice. Certainly different" I told him "her name?"
"Miss y/n y/l/n according to the sign-in sheets"
"She's playing?"
"Apparently so"
"Excuse me." I told him quickly finishing my drink and heading off in the direction she went and quickly I found her by the bar so I went over "Hey, can I buy you a drink?"
"Hum. Double scotch on the rocks hold the rocks" she smiled
The barman heard her so I nodded and plaid for her drink getting myself a cola,
"Cheers"
"No trouble. I've not seen you before"
"Not typically my scene but why not right?"
"You're not that interested in chess?"
"I never said that. I like the game just not the players" she says "a lot of bullshit to chess tournaments I'd rather just play"
"Yeah. Me too" I smiled "benny Watts" I offered my hand
"I know. Recognized you from a back issue of chess review" she smiled "y/n y/l/n" she says giving my hand a shake immediately I was shocked by how strong she was I have her hand a little kiss which made her crook her eyebrow at me a little taking her hand away and very obviously wiping it on her jeans where I kissed her
"Sorry about Quinn he can be a dick"
"I noticed," she says sipping her drink
"I promise not all chess boys are like that?"
"Aren't you?"
"There's a few good ones" I smirked "Texas?" I asked as I had been trying to figure her twang
"Ohh soo close. New Mexico"
"Damn. You guys a tricky" I laughed
"Maine?"
"Not bad. Not bad. New York."
"Thought I had it" she sighed "what's with the knife?"
"This is for protection"
"From? You got bears in New York or something?"
"From whatever" I shrug taking it from the holster and sitting it on the bar she happily took it giving it an inspect
"Nice. Needs sharpening" she says putting it back on the bar "I mean... I don't wanna get into a who's is bigger but" she smiled pulling from her holster her own knife and jr was in fact bigger than mine and sharper. And I have never felt such a confusing feeling of both being aroused and humiliated at the same time my dick didn't know what to do so I ended up with a strange semi. I took the knife and inspected it myself it was old but very well cared for and likely would do far more damage than mine.
"This is impressive"
"Thanks." She smiled taking it back
"But if you're carrying a knife around, what are the little cases?" I asked looking to the small gold and silver tubes she had beside her knife holster she smiled pushing out the loop twisting the golden tube causing it to open up revealing a bright red lipstick identical to what lay now on her lips she touched up her lipstick with it and returned it to her belt "how the hell have I not met you before"
"Luck of the world" she shrugs "see ya around Watts" she smiled giving my cheek a kiss and going off to her first game and towns snuck up and leant on the bar beside me giving me a look
"Shut up," I told him
"I'm not saying anything" he smirked
"Then your thinking loudly"
"I am. So, what do you think of her?"
"I don't know if I hate her or I'm in love with her."
"Isn't that what you say about yourself in the mirror every day?"
"Kinda" I shrug
"Also," he smirked offering me a Hankey from his pocket
"Ohh what am I drooling over her?" I joked
"No, you have a bright red kiss on your cheek"
"Ah. Thanks" I nodded happily taking it to clean my face off
"Well if you don't like her. I think I'll go and ask her to dinner" he smirked
"You keep your hands off my cute little cowgirl," I warn him and instantly noticed his smirking face as I realized the words that just exited my mouth
"Okay. Okay. Thought you didn't like her?"
"I never said I didn't like her" I answered "in fact, I rather think I do... quite like her" I smirked
