Jett wandered in from the cold outside, gloves protecting his hands from the cold brass of the door knob. He looked windswept, hair tousled about his head. Though the light in his eyes and the smile on his lips showed that he didn’t particularly mind. The winter was a favorite of Jett’s and he was enjoying every moment of it. As he slowly walked into the room and chatted up a few people who happened to notice his entrance, he tugged at the burgundy scarf around his neck and let it hang loosely about his neck.
It took him a few minutes to make his way over to an open table and lean against the polished oak top. He slipped a look at his phone but quickly tucked it back into his pocket. He had been obsessively checking his phone since he had last talked to Asterix but tonight was the night he was getting over the kid. For God’s sake, he was centuries old. He had seen men and women he had come to love die. This kid was nothing new.
Jett quickly shook the thought from his head. There was no need to be cynical. Tonight he was going to drink, get laid and forget about the kid. First things first, though, he needed to find someone to schmooze. As his eyes scanned the room, he found a few people he could “target” as much as he hated that term. Pushing up from the table he was leaning on, Jett wandered over to the fireplace and smiled.
"Hey, the name’s Jett." He smiled and tucked his hands into the pockets of his coat.
Benjamin looks up to find a man walking towards him with a smile on his face, he is confused for a moment but then smiles back as a kind gesture.
“Hey, the names Jett.” Says the man.
Benjamin takes a moment to process what is happening and analysis the man who is standing in front of him. He comes to the fast conclusion that he is in fact interested. Benjamin looks up once again and bites his lip softly, trying to be somewhat seductive in the only way he knows how.
“I’m Benjamin.” He whispers.
The two meet eyes for a moment and Ben starts to blush. He feels like a schoolgirl when the hottest guy at the school smiles at you, or talks to you or even just acknowledges your existence. He hasn’t felt like this around anyone for a while, so he just looks down into his drink while he swirls it back and forth.
He collects himself, brushes his hand through his hair and smiles at Jett.
“Would you like a drink?” Ben asks as he looks over at the bar.
Before Jett can even answer, Ben is already making his way. He stops when he can’t feel Jetts presence behind him. He looks over his shoulder at Jett and bites his lip once again.
As he continues to walk toward the bar, he feels as if his impression of what was happening was indeed false. But never the less, Ben orders another vodka and orange. Drinking is the only way Ben can deal with anything tonight.
