Shadows
Chapter 2

At the end of the table sat a girl. it's Friday night and the bar was filled with life. She just wondered if everyone else came to relieve themselves as she had come. She didn't take crying as a pain reliever.

Lyne pov

"more!" I shouted at the man on the back of the counter. Handing me my Brandy, which was my pain reliever at time like this,I gulped it down at a go. The cold liquid burning downward to God knows where. My stomach maybe. Intresting right?! let it just be. I wanted to be carefree. I didn't want to live in the past shadows.

"Another one!" I demanded.
"don't you think that you have had enough beautiful?" the bar tender asked. I just stared at him. From his hair, down his eyes, his jaws and finally his lips. Those lips tasted yummy. I thought.

Taking his collar by surprise, I harshly pulled him him down. Bitting my lips and making my voice husky and sexy at the same time...".. so handsome..I'll want you on my bed tonight..but you gotta just do one thing for me sexy, mind giving me my drink.. cos the last time I checked you don't fit my bill..do you..hic?"
Letting him go, I was now pleased with myself as if I had won a ten million dollars lottery. Shaking his head, he proceeded to make my drink. well, that was bold.

I felt a gaze on my back. Turning around, to was met by a pair of beautiful green eyes, dirty blonde hair perfectly styled, sharp jaw line and pink sexy lips. Gosh! those lips will be my downfall one day I guess.

I smirked at him because I got him staring. Seeing my expression, the handsome man came towards me.
"mind if I join beautiful?"
he even didn't wait for my response as he buried his ass on the seat nearby.
"Gosh! tell me you didn't finish all those by yourself sweetheart"
" mphf! what does it look.. like? "
" well, then you're something. having a bad day. I've never seen you around"
" well, not really" I replied shrugging without any emotions.

" Then what about we go somewhere cool, just the two of us" he said while winking.
" well, too bad cos I don't do such handsome" I Said a smirk plastered on my face.
" hey sexy, mind giving me a shot.. am.. just sobbed as fuck, and.. don't mind me, my liquor tolerance is high" I shouted through the high music to the bartender.

The man next to me just stared shamelessly at my face. Good thing I had my wig on which covered half my face.

"hey, do you mind?" I asked him.
"huh??" he just replied while not removing his gaze.
" you're staring idiot" I scoffed.
" well, what would I say, it's worth, this is a rare chance sitting next to a beauty so close. so I can't help sweetheart. "
I then decided to ignore him. Fitting my bill, I headed towards the door, my business is finished here I guess. Leaving behind my God knows who complaining that he didn't get my name and number. Showing him my favorite middle finger, I hailed a taxi and headed straight to my apartment. Too tired to take a run.

This was my daily routine. Except that I didn't meet the greeny. I had waited for my acceptance letter until I gave up. It wasn't that I couldn't get a job, but I wanted to try something different.

It was a Friday Evening when the ringing of my phone woke me up from my beauty nap. I don't usually get phone calls except from my grandpa and I knew that wasn't him. It rang the second time and decided to pick it up without even looking at the caller ID.

"Hello" my voice was sleepy and impatient.
"Hello. am I talking to miss Lyne Jones?"
"Yeah, who is it" gosh! this is why I hate new IDs calls.
" Am Mrs. Jane from Carter Co. I wanted to inform you that you have been shortlisted for an interview on Monday at 8am"

With that my sleepy form was gone as I sprinted on bed.
" What? " I asked with a shaky voice.
"yes. don't be late miss. Jones, have a good day"
" you too. thanks"

wow! this is great news and it calls for a celebration. Taking my car keys, I locked the door and descended to my BMW. well it looks new cos I had just repainted it a few days ago.

Hoping into my car, I drove directly to my favorite place.
glasses of tequila won't be bad because I was in a jovial mood.
