JD hadn't been in the bar for more than 3 minutes when they spotted a familiar face seated at one of the tables sipping a beer and chatting with his table mates.
"Hey Danny," JD pulled up and chair and straddled the back of it analyzing the rest of the people at the table. Two more guys and a girl who Danny had his arm around.
"Hey JD, haven't seen you in a while! Where the hell have you been?" Danny pulls JD in for a one armed hug and hands them a beer from the pitcher in the middle of the table.
"Here and there, you know, just doing a little bit of everything," JD takes a big swig of the beer and then puts their glass down. Eyeing the girl, she's short, brunette and looks like she'd rather be anywhere but here, she takes small sips of her beer and looks around the room as if she's trying to find a good reason to leave.
"So, I don't think you've met the band have you?" Danny begins by gesturing to the man on the left of JD. "That's Archer, he's our lead guitarist, Tony on drums and this here is Angela, our bassist and lead singer. Angela's also my girl, so if you see anyone flirt with her you better knock them to the ground."
Angela glares daggers up at Danny and removes his arm from her shoulders, "I'm not 'your girl' fuckwad." With that, she gets up and walks to the bar, ordering a few shots and downing them without hardly breathing.
"Wait- so does that mean she's single?" JD smirks jabbing a thumb in her direction. "Cause she's got hips that do NOT lie."
Danny let's out a low growl, shooting JD an angry glare and then gets back to his drink.
"Last time I checked she wasn't seeing anyone, but that was a while ago, so she might be seeing someone and just not telling us. She doesn't talk about things other than the band around us," Tony speaks up before heading to the bathroom.
"Yeah, she really keeps things separated. I guess that's part of why she's so against getting with Danny," Archer grins and finishes of his beer.
"Yeah, well it's not like you could ever land a chick like her! She's way out of your league Archer so it's not even something you should be talking about." Danny slams down his glass and storms off to the bar for another pitcher of beer.
"Like I'd even want her..." Archer mutters under his breath.
Standing up, JD walks over to the bar, where Angela is standing, giving her a once over before approaching.
"So, how did you meet Danny?"
"Through a mutual friend. He and the guys all went to high school together and when I came here from New York, they were looking for a new bassist for their band and well, when they heard me do backup vocals it kind of went from there." Angela took a shot of whatever hard liquor she had been given and looked JD dead in the face. "Wanna go for a smoke with me?"
"Sure, someone's gotta make sure that you don't fall and crack your head on the sidewalk," JD took her by the arm, helping her down from the barstool and guiding her out the door, she was stumbling a little from the alcohol in her system, but with one of JD's arms around her waist, and the other holding her other arm over their shoulders, they wobbled to the door.
Once they were outside, Angela pulled a pack of Camel's from her pocket and a little leopard print lighter, but not before spilling half the pack onto the ground.
"Jeez, try to save some for the rest of us," JD chuckled as they began to pick up the cigarettes that weren't sticky with alcohol or tainted in some way. "God, the way you do things tipsy I can only hope that if you're drunk you don't fall down on a dick and get pregnant."
JD took a zippo out of their pocket, but stopped midway to lighting their cigarette when Angela started to keel over, laughing so hard that she looked as though she would fall into the puddles of alcohol.
"It wasn't even that funny," they looked at her, her laughter was contagious, it was as if someone had pulled the sun out of the sky and put it inside of her every movement. Within seconds, JD was on the ground, laughing with her.
The two rolled around on the ground for a good minute before someone poked their head through the door.
"What the FUCK do you think you're doing?" Danny growled, glaring at the two of them. "Angie, you know we have a gig tomorrow, you can't go rolling around in the fucking dirt and expect people to show up and treat you like a hardcore rock band. We have a reputation to uphold."
"No, you do. I have tits, tits that get all the boys to my yard," Angela giggled, grabbing her boobs and jiggling them violently. "And so what if they see me rolling around in the mud and the dirt, then that means they know I'm approachable, and maybe that makes it so they will come closer and MOSH MOSH MOSH!"
"Fuck this, I give up." Danny turned on his heels and went back inside, leaving Angela and JD in the back alley alone.
"So, what about that cigarette?" JD smirked, scooting close to the wall and pulling Angela next to them.
"Oh yeah!" Angela picked up her cigarettes and lighter, handing one to JD. "He's always like that, acting like he owns me. He doesn't get it when I say no I'm not playing hard to get, I don't like him. He's a sleaze and treats women like they all owe him something. I just... He's more of a friend than anything else."
"Yeah," JD lights their cigarette and takes a puff, spitting the smoke back out. "What the fuck is wrong with you?"
"What?"
"Who in their right mind smokes menthols?" JD glares daggers into the side of Angela's head as she attempts to blow smoke rings.
"I'm a draaaagoooon! I'm a fiiiiire breathing draaaagooon!" Angela falls over onto JD's shoulder.
"Sure you are," putting their arm around her, JD rubs her shoulder as she passe out, knowing this was probably not going to end well.
