Rum Fun
He sighed & took another sip of his drink. What now?
Then he heard the sound of a beating heart. But this one seemed to be beating like a symphony. He was drawn to the heart’s melody.
He turned a bit to see who was now sitting a couple seats away from him. Her hair was like magic. With a mix of colours ranging just like a rainbow.
She ordered some rum. He snickered.
She ignored his snicker. And carried on looking around the bar.
He shook his head and said something almost in a whisper, ‘‘Interesting hair colour.’’
She slapped her hand on her lap. “Listen, Mister! You know I can hear you right?”
He smiled and winked at her, hoping that would make her more irritated now. Of course it worked. She got off her chair, and started to head toward the exit door.
A hand fell on her shoulder. She turned around ready to punch whoever it was trying to grab her.
As soon as her hand reached near his face, it seemed to be stopped by an invisible strong force. “What in the world?”
He laughed and asked, “You should not be drinking rum. Miss...”
She dropped her fist, and stared at the guy. He was tall, dark and handsome. She tried to not laugh. If this was a romantic novel she would already dancing with him.
From there he would take her back to his place, and she would fall madly, deeply, in love with him. Hold her breath to be by his side forever.
She took a deep breath and scoffed. “This is not going to work, okay. I have work early in the morning.”
“What? No, I just wanted to know your name. I’m not buying you a drink. Not going to happen. Unless, you don’t mind me buying you one.”
She moved her hood over her head. “Thanks for the offer. But I have to go.”
He said, “I hope to see you again. Or at least bump into you in the area.”
She smiled, walking away from the stranger. Then hoped for the same thing. It’d be great to see him again.
Maybe she could come back later to check on him. She had been tracking him for a while now.
Underneath her enormous cloak— was a sword, some grenades, her trusty bow & several arrows. Hey, she had to be ready. This part of this village was full of many creatures from different realms.
