Tour had taken a lot of energy out of all of us. Weâve been home for a few days and we had just gotten news that some new dates had been added. We were all were so ecstatic, we decided to go out and celebrate.
We ended up heading out to our favorite local pub. We took a seat at our usual booth after ordering our drinks. Damn, it felt like home. I glanced and looked at everyone enjoying their conversation, putting a huge smile on my face.
That smile fell when I looked over to my left at the dart boards. There was a group of beautiful Women, but one stood out to me in particular.
She had gorgeous long brown hair that cascaded down to her lower back, just above her butt. Tight black jeans adorned her toned legs followed by a pair of black boots with a bit of heels. Even so, she was still short. On top, she had on a black leather jacket. Shit, she was attractive; she also seemed insanely familiar to me. Maybe sheâd been to one of my shows before, who knows.
I guess I was staring a bit too long because when she looked up at me, her expression went from happy to sad to-confused? It seemed as if she knew me too. I decided I should figure  this out and headed to where her and her group were sitting. As I got closer to them, it clicked, causing me to stop right behind her.
She had rejected me before. Now this was just plain embarrassing. I was about to turn back but it was a second too late. Her friends had taken noticed to me and gestured for her to turn around. When she did I swear my heart stopped.Somehow she had gotten even better looking than she was before. She was a real bombshell for sure.
Not only that, but she was also crazy intelligent. She was in my Psychology class at ASU before I dropped out to pursue the band. She always seemed to know what she was talking about and that fascinated me.
That was back in my longhair days and she always had something to say about it, never in a rude way, but it led me to cutting it years later. I will admit that I was a bit of a player in college, which she made sure to tell me was âstupid and completely immatureâ and how she âwanted commitmentâ. I was young and dumb and didnât realize what I had lost out on until now.
There are times when sheâll cross my mind from time to time and it always makes me regret how I used to be. Having her here in front of me felt like a second chance.
âHey,â I said lamely.
âHi,â she said, tucking a loose strand of her hair behind her ear.
âCould I talk to you by the bar real quick?â I asked hopefully.
She playfully rolled her eyes but walked to the bar anyway. By the time I had gotten there, she already had ordered us both a drink and was sat at the bar.
Of course, me being me,I tried to be as smooth as I could. It had been awhile since i had attempted to ask a girl out; I was a bit rusty, but I would try my best.
I propped my body up on the bar next to her and said, âwe should totally go out and party sometime. For old times sake babygirl.â
She turned her back toward me and I knew I fucked up. What the hell was I thinking? I wasnât really that much of a douchebag was I?
I walked to where she was facing and lifted up her chin. âHey, Iâm sorry. I promise Iâ not like how I used to be.â
She didnât seem to believe what I was saying. I sighed heavily and went after her. She was only a few steps ahead so I grabbed her shoulder to turn her around.
âLeave me alone, John. You havenât changed at all. Iâm mature enough to know what I want now and your games arenât it.â
She stepped past me knocking my arm on the way and sat back down a the bar. Her actions took me aback in a good way. Beautiful and confident, I needed her; of course I followed her back to the bar.
When I got there, I grabbed her hand and gently pulled her out of the bar stool. I led her to the part of the bar where most people were grouped, enjoying the music and dancing a bit on the floor.
I turned around and pulled her in close to me.
âI would like another chance with you, if thatâs okayâ
My hands were gripped tightly around her hips as we swayed back and forth, our foreheads almost touching. I could feel the spark in the space between us and the undeniable lust else where around us. She brought her mouth close to my left ear and exhaled. I closed my eyes and reveled in the moment. The sound of her voice broke my trance, bringing me back to an even better moment in time.
âIâm not your âbabygirlâ,â she whispered into my ear with lust and a hint of dominance.
She walked off with extra sway in her hips. She turned back and dropped a subtle wink that went unannounced to the others in the booth around me. I could feel the corners of my mouth raise and my skin heat up.
I sat back down with the others and joined into the conversation. I started to get bored of it as continued when Pat tapped my shoulder.
âWho was that?â he asked.
âOh her? Thatâs my little badassâ
