This is my first story, and hope you all enjoy. It’s when I first met a couple to have some group fun with. Constructive criticism appreciated!
So there I was, sitting at this bar alone. I’m a ways from home, had a bit of a drive and the first meet up spot didn’t work out so I’m savoring this whiskey. I text her, asking if she’s close, she responds saying “just outside having a smoke, see you soon!” (Keep in mind we’ve never met in person yet) I feel my stomach twist a slight bit as the reality of it all set in. “This will be fun, it’s a first meeting and there’s nothing to stress about” I tell myself as I take the rest of my drink, then order a beer to be ready.
The front door opens, first hearing the bell ding, then seeing her walk across the threshold with her boyfriend close behind. I stand up to greet them, shaking his hand first, then looking towards her. She motions to give her a hug so I oblige. We sit, put our food orders in and get a few rounds of shots, I’d say to ease the tension but there really wasn’t any.
