(Y/N) POV-
Tense: past
I chugged down a glass of wine and asked for more. The bartender came over and took the glass.
"More already?" The bartender asked.
"Yeah. I need it." I slightly laughed and rubbed my forehead. The bartender shrugged and poured more wine into the cup. She gently placed the cup back onto the counter.
I dug my hands into my face and rubbed my eyes. I was so tired. Suddenly, someone sat down next to me.
"Liz. I need a drink." A man asked. I quietly looked up and saw his face.
God, he was cute. His hair was gelled back. He wore a black suit. He was muscular and his eyes were an ocean blue. He had cheekbones for days.
I could barely look away, but I stopped myself. I grabbed my glass of wine and sipped at it to look more lady like.
He took a shot of something and asked for another.
"Hey." I said. He looked over at me.
"Hi." He answered.
"You good over there. You seem pretty angry." I asked and gave him a half smile. He rolled his eyes.
"No, I'm not okay." He said and grabbed his drink.
"Well, what's wrong... if you don't mind me asking." I said. He turned to look at me.
"My girlfriend just dumped me for another guy!" He blurted out. I looked at him confused.
"Why would she dump you? You're one of the hottest guys I've ever met." I gave him a half grin.
"Thanks. I-I'm Donovan." He turned to and took another shot.
"I'm (Y/N)." I said.
"So, why are you here?" He questioned.
"It was a stressful day at work which is the usual."
"So you're here a lot?"
"Yeah. I come at least once a week. This is the only bar the isn't busy as hell and I'm not being bothered at." I looked up at him. "Are you here a lot?"
"Actually, I lived here, but I'm being thrown out."
"Well, if you ever need a place to stay," I write my number on his hand. "Call me. I'd be happy to let you sleep in my guest room."
I saw Donovan smile at me. Suddenly, he froze. I looked at him confused.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
"Nothing. It's just my jam is on." I listen to the speaker and hear the song Hotline Bling.
"You like the song Hotline Bling?" I chuckled and Donavon mouthed all the words. "Oh my god." I said and planted my palm into my face. He laughed at me but continued to mouth the words.
He got up and started dancing.
"Come dance!" I heard him yell. I looked up at the bartender who was looking down at me with a smug smile.
Donovan pulled me up and danced around me like a maniac. I laughed the entire time.
Then, the song came to an end. He sat down laughing. His eyes looked up at a balcony and the laughing stopped. I looked up and a saw a woman and a man.
"Listen, you need to stop coming here. It's dangerous." I listened to him and continued to look at the woman.
"But-" He cut me off.
"No! Just listen to me. I've lived here for years, I know what goes on around here." I nodded and grabbed my purse.
"Donovan, please come and hang out with me at my house. I think it would be nice." I smiled at him and he nodded at me.
I didn't underwhy he was telling me to leave, but I trusted him.
