Prompt: Beer Day
Dean sidled up to the bar, sliding his arm onto the wood as he plopped himself down on the closest stool, “Can I get a beer?”
The bartender raised her eyebrows but nodded at the request. After spinning around to grab a whiskey bottle, she placed two shot glasses in front of the blonde. At his questioning look, she gave a half-shrug, “You look like you needed something stronger.”
He let out a small chuckle at that and reached for the first shot, “You may be right about that.”
He tossed it back, hissing as he swallowed before turning the glass upside down. She pushed the second glass forward before placing the bottle down, resting her one hand on the bar, “Well?”
“Well, what?”
“You gonna tell me what’s got you so…” She let her voice trail off as she gave him a purposeful once over.
Dean shook his head as he reached for the second shot, “You wouldn’t believe me.”
She raised an eyebrow at that before flipping the first glass over to refill, “I doubt it. I’ve seen some crap that would make most people run screaming.”
“Yeah, well I’m not most people.”
“No?” The corner of her mouth turned up as she slid the freshly filled shot glass back over, “Tell you what. I’ll keep refilling your shots – for free – if you tell me what’s got you so bummed.”
Dean caught the glass, finally giving the redhead a once over, before his signature thousand-watt smile lit up his features, “Deal.”
