I sighed heavily as the bartender poured my second whiskey neat. I brought the glass to my nose and twirled it, inhaling deeply. I closed my eyes as the woody aroma flooded my nostrils.
“I guess I’m striking out tonight, Pete,” I said after taking a sip.
“No, no, no…no way,” Pete was waving his hand in the air, “get that shit outta here, I don’t need your mopey ass taking up a spot at my bar.”
I chuckled into my glass and gulped down the rest of my drink. I exhaled sharply and shook my head. “Whoo! Alright, one more then I’ll be out of your hair for the night.”
My eyes followed Pete as he walked to the other end of the bar to grab another bottle. He reached up and grabbed the bottle from the shelf and that’s when I saw her. I locked eyes with the most beautiful woman I had ever seen. She had brilliant green eyes and long flowing frosty blonde hair with a perfect amount of loose curls throughout. She was wearing a tight, deep blue dress that fit her figure perfectly. She was average height, maybe a bit taller, and curvy in all the right places. It was obvious she was proud of her appearance and took care of her athletic body.
