JJ leaned over the counter of the bar, fingers trailing the edges of his glass. Getting drunk before his date arrived was not part of his plan, so he had just asked for water. He had arrived early. Quite the smooth move on his side –that meaning not-smooth at all, just plain eager. He could have walked around outside until the time arrived, but he decided that’d be even more childish on his side and walked in. He hoped to be able to brush off that without much teasing from the other.

He was still surprised by the quickness of the call, his phone forgotten on his room he had noticed the lost call and rushed to call back. It wasn’t as if he wasn’t awaiting for it impatiently, but he was used to people taking their time. Pretending to be too busy to care. All those masks and games that dating usually required and that he found too annoying to follow. It was refreshing actually, even hearing the voice of the other. He was starting to get more than just curiously interested, and he haven’t even had one date.

Lifting the glass he took a long sip before realizing he had company.
