I smiled at the bartender as he set the three drinks on the bar.
"Two fruity pink drinks and a shot of Cuervo." He flashed a brilliant set of whit teeth as he smiled at me. He was not unattractive, but definitely not my type. I was attracted to tall men; he only stood about 5'5". I also seemed to be attracted to assholes, and he seemed nice.
"It definitely wouldn't work," I thought to myself.
I thanked him with a smile and a nod and turned to head towards the table near the left center of the bar. The three drinks were balancing precariously in my hands as I weaved through the throngs of college aged people that had turned out to see a local musician play classic acoustic covers.
Just as I was nearing my destination, a large figure fell backwards into my path. I made a valiant attempt at saving the drinks by raising them up above my head, but the figure loomed over me and I failed in my attempt. I managed to save the Cuervo, but the two pink drinks crashed to the ground, but not before spilling most of their contents all over the figure which had caused the collision.
Luckily it missed my shirt, which I had just bought that day. Other than a little splatter on my boots and bare legs, I was none the worse for wear.
"I am so sorry! I didn't realize anyone was coming behind me. I will pay for your drinks, plus buy you another round. I am sorry." The figure turned around with a genuine, apologetic look on his face, which was near perfection, I noted to myself.
"Its, uh, it's okay." I stammered back. I was having a hard time concentrating for looking in his electrifying green eyes. He smiled what could only be the single brightest and genuine smile I had ever seen. I couldn't help myself but to smile back.
The bartender, and most of the crowd, had noticed the collision and were all staring at them. I snapped back to attention when the Adonis in front of me motioned to the bartender to pour another round.
"Add it to my tab please." He said.
"What was your name, again?" The short, nice bartender asked with a smile and a wink. That was another reason why I would never be able to go out with him.
"Jeremy Scott."
His name was Jeremy. How perfect was that. Here he was, this God of a man, a magnificent specimen of how a man should look. His emerald eyes sent currents through my body. His black hair was stylish and up to date. He was every bit of 6', and didn't appear to have an ounce of fat on his body. He was wearing a button up shirt and a pair of very trendy jeans that fit just right on his body.
I had been so distracted by his appearance, that I had barely noticed that he had handed me a pink drink. I looked at it, and looked up at him. He smiled and nodded in the direction of the table where my friends waited with amused smiles on their faces.
My face flushed as I realized that my friends, and maybe Jeremy, had seen me staring at him. I led him to the table where my bemused friends sat giggling to themselves.
Jeremy set the drinks in the middle of table and smiled as he introduced himself, "Hi! I'm Jeremy. And this round is on me, as well as the next one! I'm not usually a klutz, but I think I was distracted." He winked at me.
Amelia and Kris exchanged knowing glances and thanked Jeremy for his kindness in repaying for the drinks, since in all actuality it was only an accident.
"Won't you join us, Jeremy?" Amelia asked with a sly grin, first looking to Jeremy than to Amy.
"Sure! I'd love to." No sooner were the words out of his mouth before he had hopped up into the chair between Amy and Kris.
After two more rounds and a very lively and energetic conversation on everything from finances and the free market to whether Santa was real, Jeremy excused himself. He thanked the three ladies for a stimulating conversation on Christmas, saying that he had to return to his friends since by then they probably noticed he was missing.
As he walked away from the table, disappearing into the crowd, the girls all began to giggle.
