So it’s almost like you won the lottery! That’s very interesting.” Anna meant it when she told Nick she found the way he got here interesting. “Your job chose this place eh? I wonder if whoever picked it had been here before.” She gave him a wink and a nudge. Putting her empty glass of whiskey down, she grabbed her bloody mary, sucking down half of it without thinking. They were just spicy enough that Anna wanted to smack her lips out of appreciation.<br/><br/>“Oh me?” Anna grinned, placing a coy hand to her mouth, biting on her ring finger as she looked at Nick. She didn’t particularly want to tell him that she wrote erotic novels, though she didn’t see the harm in telling him something close to the truth. She could say she was here gathering research for her boss. After all her editor Charles would always answer the phone if someone needed more proof than her word.<br/><br/>Just as Anna opened her mouth, all too willing to explain to Nick what she meant by research she was blindsided by what appeared to be a very drunk man. Though upon closer inspection Anna deduced he was closer to a frat boy. Polo shirt, unable to handle his alcohol, and a sloshed grin on his face. Probably at Serenity with his parents or something similar, not that Anna judged him for coming with his parents. She gasped as the gold liquid of his beer hit her bare thighs making her jump in her stool a little.<br/><br/>“Oh my gosh, I am like so sorry, I didn’t even see you sitting there.” He began to apologize immediately grabbing at whatever napkins he could find. He looked younger to Anna suddenly, his face almost childlike. All of his buddies behind him, who hadn’t warned him that Anna was sitting there with Nick shook their head, clearly not as drunk as their friend.<br/><br/>“No, no, don’t worry about it, accidents happen all the time. It’s not like I was wearing a fancy dress or anything.” Anna told the younger man, a smile on her face as she began to wipe her legs off. “Next time I’d make sure that I look behind you before you take a step though.” Anna tease him. A few of his pals snickered hitting him on the back of his shoulder.<br/><br/>“Yeah, yeah, I’ll do that. Again, I’m so sorry.” He stared at her for a long moment, his eyes flickering between Anna and Nick before he retreated to his friends.<br/><br/>“Well, that’s certainly one way to the blood pumping.” Anna laughed turning back to Nick. The beer hadn’t hit anything but her thighs thankfully and they didn’t feel sticky, though another shower was definitely in the cards for her. “What were we talking about?” She asked grabbing her drink from the bar that had been spared in the small catastrophe.
