“Which part of ‘nail me’ would you like me to enunciate, pretty?” Lips pursed and his eyes glazed; colorful humans, drinks, and faux innocence blurring together. “Nail me, as in stick it in me. Pin me and pound me. That better?”

“That’s, uhm, what I figured you meant,” he mumbled, taking a swig of his beer. “I don’t know how to say this. Uh...I’m a..well, I’ve never...fuck,” he mumbled, staring at the ceiling. “I’m very flattered but I’m a straight virgin.”

Note attached: 

I’m sorry I never caught your name the other night, but I really hope to see you again very soon. You said you liked sunrises and the one the morning after we met was the most beautiful one I’ve seen in a while. My number is down below, totally your choice if you decide to use it or not. -LD

“I can respect that.” she nodded with agreement. Charlie knew what it felt like to sometimes just want to keep to herself and not want to bother even leaving her apartment. Leaning in closer, she rested her chin on her hand and listened to him speak of his passion, it was something that always amazed her. Seeing how someone who truly loved doing something spoke about it, seeing their eyes light up, especially his. She couldn’t quite peg the color, but she knew that she hoped to see them in her dreams tonight, eyes like those you can’t forget even if you tried. “Painting, that’s amazing.” she said honestly. “Sunrises get me all the time..I’m usually getting out of work when they are coming up and I can’t help but just be in awe. I can only imagine how beautiful your paintings of them must be. I’ll have to see them sometime.” she took a drink of her wine and smiled.

“You have a thing for sunrises?” he asked, making a mental note of it. He wanted to know literally everything about this girl, but he knew their time at the bar was running out. “I hate to do this, but I need to get going. I’ve got a client picking up a portrait of her beloved dog in the morning and I need to frame it and get it wrapped up. It was very nice meeting you,” he explained quickly, hoping he wasn’t insulting her in anyway by leaving. He paid for their drinks, including the glass of wine she had before they began talking. “Sorry again. I hope to see you again,” he said, taking her hand and pressing a kiss to the back of it before disappearing out the door.

“I find that seriously hard to believe.” she teased pushing his arm. Wondering how in anybody’s right mind could not want to talk to him. Smiling too big for her own good Charlie couldn’t stop the pull that she felt. Knowing like anything good, it would end for her but while it lasted she was going to make every minute count. “Well I’m glad.” she said truthfully. “What is your favorite thing to draw? If I may ask?” she picked up her glass and took a sip, never leaving his eye contact. She couldn’t even if she wanted too, she was hooked on this stranger.

He laughed, shrugging. “I usually keep to myself, honestly,” he admitted, grinning widely. He hadn’t felt this good around another person in quite sometime, and he was excited to see how this developed, if he was lucky enough for that to happen, of course. “I actually prefer painting over drawing. I’m a huge sucker for landscapes. My sunrise paintings are a bit more popular than I ever thought they’d be.”

Leo ordered her another merlot, nodding. "Don't mention it. Can't keep a girl talking to me without ordering her a drink, can I?" He teased playfully. "I truly appreciate that," he laughed. "I'll draw anyone who asks for it."

Charlie couldn’t believe her ears, taking a quick drink to wake herself up from whatever dream she was in she was brought back to reality, the one where an incredibly handsome man was actually saying these things. Tucking a loose blonde strand behind her ear she smiled , looking up at him from under her lashes. “I’m a nurse.. if that gives you a hint.” she nibbled on her bottom lip loosely. “Oh, I’m sure in Everwood that happens quite frequently.” she said teasing him. “Yet, I’m flattered..and think it’s beautiful so thank you.” she looked down at the drawing then back at him. “ I assume you are an artist, how long have you lived here in Everwood?”

“Ah, so the hospital?” he asked. “What are you drinking? I’ll order you another if you’d like,” he offered, ordering another Jack and Coke for himself. “Yeah, I’m an artist. I do a lot of commission work. So, if you ever need something painted, I’m your guy. I’ve lived here for a year or so, I think. I’ve lost track of time here,” he admitted. He looked down at the drawing, shrugging. “I’m glad you like it. It’s yours.”

Glancing down at him she tried not to stare, waiting until he was finished to speak again. “I’m just not used to guys in bars..or generally really wanting to draw me. I mean- there’s nothing really special unless you count the terrible bags under my eyes from work.” she chuckled honestly. Charlie couldn’t help but feel the warmth in her stomach grow either from the wine she was drinking or the way in which his grin made her entire body warm. Gently taking the sketch into her hands she scanned his work, it was brilliant. Her cheeks turned crimson, “It’s.. it’s fantastic. Thank you.” she said. “Do you do this often? Draw women in dimly lit bars?” she teased with a smirk.

“Your face is an artist’s dream. Simple, but sweet. I could draw it all day,” he admitted, finishing off his drink. “Where do you work?” he asked curiously, turning towards her. He glanced at the drawing, smiling. “Not often. Only when I’m seated next to beautiful women,” he teased, grinning.

theodorehawkins:

Looking up from his drink, Theodore’s brows knit together and turned to see who’d addressed him. By the looks of it, he was being sketched on one of the bar napkins. It appeared to be rather skillfully drawn. Complying with the man’s wishes, Theo turned back profile and held as still as he could. “I’m rather flattered you chose to draw me.”

“You have a nice profile,” he said simply, adding a bit of shading to his bottom lip. “No speaking please. I promise this won’t take long.”

andrewmeadowss:

Andrew frowned at the strange request, but shook his head in amusement once he realized what the man was doing. “Doodling on a napkin? I always thought that was a cliche reserved for wanna-be authors.” He leaned over to take a glance. “Doesn’t look half bad actually. That is, for something drawn on a napkin.”

“I’m a broke, freelance artist. Can’t get much more cliche than me,” he said with a shrug, continuing his sketch.”Only half bad?” he asked quietly, looking at it closely to see what he could improve on it. “It’s your jawline. I fucked that up,” he mumbled, doing his best to fix it without having to start it all over again.

ycosi:

Yeosi had spent a considerable amount of time leaning over the counter himself. Half-empty glass of cider by his side. He’d forgotten about it; too caught up in scrolling his instagram feed with one hand, while the other would fiddle with the Gucci choker around his neck. A weak sigh escaping him as he turned to face the artist; glint in eye and all. “Since I deem that highly unlikely, why don’t we skip to the part where you hang me up and nail me to the wall?”

Leo had taken a sip at just the wrong moment, as the other’s comment caused him to choke. “I-I’m sorry..what?” he asked, looking over at him with wide eyes.

nataliexxwaller:

While picking up some of the groceries she heard a male voice so she looked up to see who it is. “Thank you” Natalie got up when she holding some cheese and what was left of the milk. “I’m okay it’s just this stupid paper bag.”

“Do you need help getting all this home, though?”

[artbyleodom]

callmecharlie-fletcher:

“Me?” Charlie raised her eyebrow, biting down on her lower lip. No one has ever drawn her..nor wanted to for that matter. She felt her cheeks warm instantly as she tried to stop the smirk that was appearing. “Sorry.” she whispered with a soft giggle. “I’ll let the artist continue.”

He chuckled, adding the finishing touches to the sketch. “You seem surprised,” he said, glancing over at the woman. “Thank you. I can’t draw if you keep moving,” Leo teased, grinning over at her. Once the sketch was done, he cleared his throat, sliding it over to her. “Not my best.”

It was a weeknight at an hour when only a few were left at the bar, but it was the exact time she loved. Fresh out of a shift at the hospital Charlie changed into a pair of jeans and a t-shirt and headed to grab a drink or even last call of anything greasy they’d cook her at this hour. Sitting down the blonde didn’t even realize there ws someone next to her until she heard his voice. A voice that sends chills across your entire body and you don’t know why. “I-uhm.sure?” she tried not to move or smile. Through tight lips she tried to ask, “can I- ask what you’re doing?”

He had had his eye on her all evening, ever since she walked in. She seemed quiet, nice. The kind of person he wanted to draw over and over again. He smiled softly, sketching in short strokes. “I’m sketching you. Don’t speak,” he said quickly, even though her voice was like music to his ears.

“No, I don’t mind at all,” she said, shrugging her shoulders in a sophisticated manner.  She looked at the sketch and smiled at the artist who drew it. “It’s lovely. I take it you’re an artist for a living then?”

“Thank you,” he blushed slightly. “Keep it,” he added, nodding to the sketch. “ You could say that. Scraping by, that’s for sure.”

[artbyleodom]

klewismd:

Kate couldn’t help but quirk an eyebrow at the question. It was definitely one she had never heard before.  “Sure, I suppose I can. May I ask what exactly it is you’re doing?” She inquired before keeping still as he had asked. 

He stayed silent, finishing off the sketch with the woman’s nearly perfect heart-shaped lips. “Thank you,” he muttered, taking a sip of his drink as he slid the napkin over to the woman. “I was sketching you, I hope you don’t mind.”

[artbyleodom]

Leo sat at the bar, Jack and Coke in one hand as he doodled on a napkin with his other. His glance kept wandering to the person next to him, as he sketched out their profile with almost perfect accuracy. “Can you, uh, sit really still for me? I’m trying to get your lips perfect,” he muttered, a bit embarrassed to be asking the question.

nataliexxwaller:

Natalie was after a long double shift studying at the hospital. She got the chance to buy some Grocery’s for her empty fridge but she walked so fast that her brown paper bag just tear and most of the Grocery’s fall on the street. “Fuck!” Natalie yelled looking hoe her whole milk spilled and the other Grocery’s lying on the floor.

LD watched as the woman’s bag busted out the bottom. Rushing over to her, he knelt down, picking up as much of the groceries as he could. “You alright?” he asked, looking up at her. “Let me go get you another bag real quick, yeah?”
