“Some people don’t need all the pageantry.” He grinned lazily, glancing down at her sweatpants for emphasis. It probably said something about him that he was so attracted to her simply because she didn’t seem to care - about him or about her own appearance. When she agreed he ordered her a shot before she could change her mind, tipping the glass into her drink. “Alexander. Thanks for taking a break from the free wifi.”

“some people do need it and just don’t care,” she said, hand plucking at her sweatpants. sure, she could dress up and look nice and maybe put on some makeup but why? to be validated by some drunk guy who’d hit on anything in heels? sounded miserable on so many levels. “thanks,” she laughed when he ordered the shot and put it in her drink. she held her glass up and clinked it against his beer before taking a sip. “thanks for giving me a reason to. even if you did start the conversation off by accusing me of bumming people out. so. alexander. not a fan of the other options tonight? from what i’ve noticed, you tend to have more of a thing for leggy blondes.”

“The first little put down,” he explained, paraphrasing her words back to her. “’When there are so many better options around’, ‘don’t you have hotter and sluttier girls to chase’, ‘I’m not worthy of your Adonis like perfection’, etc. All false, by the way. Need some rum for that coke?” He had sized her up enough to know that whatever soda she had in her cup probably wasn’t laced with anything fun. “You seemed preoccupied. I was working up to it.”

“i wasn’t putting myself down, I was just....lifting everyone else up. to match their boobs and their asses and heels and hair and makeup store bills,” she explained. “and no one called you an adonis but it’s nice to know you’re not lacking in the self-esteem department.” her eyes narrowed slightly at the question about rum, before deciding to maybe not be so uptight for five second. “rum probably wouldn’t be awful,” she conceded. “i’m sarah, by the way. in case you didn’t pick that up from over my shoulder.”

“ you do look lovely,” scarlett assured, a warm smile melting across her lips as she nudged the woman’s shoulders. “soda’s good, i can get behind soda. how do we feel about shirley temples? oh! and i’m scarlett, by the way. got a little ahead of myself there. ”

“well.....thank you,” she said, still a bit surprised. “and so do you. i think i already called you gorgeous once but i’d glad do it again.” or had she only said that in her head? who could keep up? “never been a shirley temple fan, honestly. soda’s are unhealthy enough without adding in extra sugar. i’m sarah.”

“Okay the first time sounded like a joke, but that one didn’t,” he frowned, picking up his beer for a long pull. Sarah was effortlessly pretty, in a way that didn’t require heels or layers of make up and dye like the rest of the city seemed to need. She had to see that. “Well if we don’t have any overlapping interests, I’ll have to make some up. So it’s practical research.”

“the first what sounded like a joke?” she asked curiously, not sure she was following. “or, and this might sound super crazy but stick with me, if you were really curious you could just talk to me instead of snooping like some sort of creep.”

“ come on, you’re gorgeous!” scarlett exhaled the words sincerely, pausing for a beat before lifting a hand to smooth out the girl’s dark locks; recoiling her grip with a gentle smile, she carried on, “see? now you’re perfect. are you drinking while in search of your next dose of wifi? ”

sarah stayed still as the stranger reached forward and smoothed her hair, not sure if she was more surprised at the action or the fact that an actual angel had just called her gorgeous. “perfect might be pushing it,” she mumbled a little. “if by ‘drinking’ you mean a soda, then yes, yes I am,” she said with a nod of her head. fuck, could she get any more lame?

After a moment of deliberation he decided taking a chance on the communal bowl of mixed nuts could only make his immune system stronger, and he popped one into his mouth with a grin. "I need a healthy dose of high inhibitions to put things in perspective about once a week. That’s where you come in. Recalibration.”

“is that why you always bother me? i knew there had to be a reason when there were so many better options around,” she said, making a face at the fact that he was eating out of the bowl of nuts that she’d seen someone sneeze into earlier. “and how does reading over my shoulder play into your ‘recalibration’?”

“ is that the line you use on everybody, or am i the first suitor you’ve approached? can’t help but feel a little flattered either way. ”

“i.....what? definitely wasn’t a line. and i’m not sure ‘suitor’ is a title that belongs to you. i applaud the confidence, though.”

dahlics:

“what an odd thing to live above a place such as this—the sound must be atrocious. i don’t think attire matters much, especially not in a place where everyone’s trying to get sloshed anyway. perhaps you should DJ for us all.”

“the rent is cheap and i tend to work nights anyways,” she said with a small shrug. “DJ? absolutely not. not unless this is the sort of crowd that likes Queen or The Beatles. and judging by, well, everyone...i’m guessing not.”

“Well when you move you should aim for a place above a classier bar. I live across the street, the beer is pretty cheap, and I get to read over your shoulder whenever you decide to use this place as your living room.”

“i’ll be sure to put that at the top of my list when I meet with a broker,” she said with a roll of her eyes. at the mention of reading over her shoulder, however, she quickly set her phone face down on the ( sticky ) bar. “aren’t there short skirts and low inhibitions you could be checking out elsewhere?”

“ oh, no judgement here at all, darling—- i envy you, actually, you’re probably the most comfortable person in this place. including myself,” she pouted, dropping her gaze the impossible black heels clinging to her feet. “i’d take the sweatpants any day. ”

“ probably. but comfort comes at a cost, “ she pointed out, taking a moment to take in the other girl’s - much nicer and more put together - appearance. “ for example, at least half of the people in here can’t keep their eyes of you because of how great you look. meanwhile, half of the people in here can’t keep their eyes off of me because they think i’m homeless, “ she laughed.

“I don’t care what you’re wearing, I care where you’re sitting. That spot is where body shots tend to happen and you’re just….bumming everyone out. Go to Starbucks.”

“ anybody doing body shots probably needs to reevaluate their life anyway. i’m doing everyone a favor with that one. do you live here or something? why are you always here? “

#c:xander

“ okay, i know i’m not dressed for the bar, but i live upstairs and my wifi stopped working. i’ve reached data capacity on my phone and this place just so happens to offer free wifi for customers. so here i am. with a soda. if my sweatpants offend you, please just....look in other, less wifi-desperate directions. “
