He WASN’T her type, not because he was the stereotypical country boy. No, not that. She’d met guys like him in the city, too– POMPOUS, arrogant and egotistical. Like every girl could fall at his feet at the sight of him… and while he wasn’t at all bad looking, he was BAD NEWS and she knew it. She couldn’t help but ROLL her eyes at him at the wink that he sent his way.
She turned from the bar with her drinks, a small flick of her dark, perfectly curled hair as she walked away from him. They weren’t supposed to be FRATERNIZING with the locals, not that it stopped Miss Georgia from hooking up with one of the guys in the last city. The shots were downed quickly, and the bartender came with a round of PINK girly drinks Diana never ordered.
She looked over to where he was, glass filled with a fresh round of beer as she pursed her lips together. It was exhausting to listen to the girls complain, and while she wasn’t really fond of the HOT, sticky weather, either? She wasn’t about to be lumped in with the rest of them, nor was she going to let him think that ALL pageant girls fit in the little notion in her head.
She moved to take one of the drinks from the table, letting the girls go a little CRAZY with them as she moved to walk towards him, setting the drink down as she pursed her lips at him. “I think this BELONGS to you,” she slid the girly drink down towards his direction, turning to the bartender to order herself a gin martini. “– if you THINK you’re going home with a pageant girl tonight, you’re sadly mistaken. I wouldn’t keep my HOPES up.”
at first, he doesn’t look at her. just looks ahead with that shit-eating grin that he wears so well. tongue in cheek; listening to her. listening to her bratty attitude sing through the words that fall from parted lips. i’m too good for you. we’re all too good for you. country scum. it’s all he hears. all he ever hears from these girls. from any girl that isn’t ready to get her hands dirty and help out on the farm.
a girl too focused on her makeup and perfectly curled hair to see past anything but fake eye-lashes. nah. not his type. and yet he quirks a brow and looks up towards her; still wearing a smirk so smug that he can already see she wants to slap it off his face. why were these pretty girls so damn palm happy when it came to slapping?
❝ oh sweetheart --- ❞ he starts, taking a mouthful of his beer and swiveling in his seat slightly; moving to face her properly. head, body, all of it. eyes lifting to meet with hers. he catches himself. just for a moment. staring. picturing himself taking her home and putting a little country in her. but a slight shake of his head snaps him out of it. straightening up as he clears his throat again. where was he?
oh that’s right. ❝ --- if i wanted to take any of your pretty - albeit covered in makeup friends home, i’d be just fine in doing so ❞ he tells her; bringing beer to his lips once more. ❝ pick one. point one out to me and i can assure you that she’s got her lips on me somewhere by the end of the night ❞ bellamy really didn’t miss that cocky gene, did he?
