"Fuck, it just can't rain right now! I don't have time to take care of all this crap in the rain! Well, it's gonna hafta fuckin wait! Too bad!!" I wish I had heaved my cell phone. Just like I heaved the softball through the windshield of my ex's 65 Camaro. Why now? Why can't I be, for 5 fucking minutes, just like everybody else? Ugh!
"Hey! Watch out!" I felt an arm grab onto me and hold me back, blocking out most of the water spray from the truck flying by. I looked up into the most gorgeous, chocolate brown eyes, embedded in this sculpted face, framed with thick waves of blond.
Where the fuck did my mind just disappear to? Why isn't there some caustic remark flying off my tongue? Why am I just gazing up, lost in those warm pools? He smiled.
"Are you alright?"
"I think so." Gently, he set me back onto those foolishly, ridiculous platform heels I'd chosen to wear today. Steadying me when I wobbled. "I need a drink..." I looked around for the closest pub, grabbed his hand and strode away. Inside Ole Paddy's, I sat at the bar, ordered a shot of Jameson's, one for each of us, cheers, and down the hatch.
