It was a typical weeknight after work. I was going to the pub with the guys for some drinks and darts. The normal crowd was there when we arrived. We made our way to our table and board and chatted with friends on the way. We did not need to place an order; the barmaid knew what we wanted. We had just gotten done with our first game when Ann (the barmaid) came to me and told me Crystal had just walked in. You and Ann were close friends and she knew I liked you since I had asked about you a few weeks ago.
I asked Ann to buy you a drink on my tab and bring us another pitcher. We were in our second game when Ann brought the pitcher and told me then you sent it with her thanks. As I looked over I saw you at the bar sipping your drink. We finished the second game and then took a short break before starting the third.
I took this chance to meet you face to face. Ann saw me nearing the bar and made sure she was there when I arrived next to you. I spoke before Ann could say a word drawing your attention to me.
"Would you like another drink"?
You looked stunned at first, it may have been the way I was looking into your eyes, but then you nodded and said,
"yes, thanks."
Ann then spoke up and introduced us, then went to get the drinks. We chatted for a while till Ann brought our drinks and she told me it looked like the guys were waiting. I apologized and went back to the game.
The guys could see I had a hard time staying with the game. I kept looking at you and Ann chatting. With the urging of the guys and the fact they were winning, I set my mind on the game. We were just finishing up when Ann brought another pitcher as well as five shots.
She looked at me and said, "the shots are on me."
I had a puzzled look on my face, there were only three of us and Ann made four, so I asked, "who is the fifth shot for?"
Then I saw the smile on your face. You looked over your shoulder and looked at Crystal.
As she walked up Ann looked at us and said, "ok?"
We all said, "sure!"
