This mystery woman has the attention of every man in the bar, including the married men whose wives slap their arms for their attention back. The women glare at her with instant jealously, as her aura commands everyone's attention. I clear my throat and pull the shot glasses out of the rinse sink. She approaches Madison and the town’s most eligible bachelors.
Is Madison setting this mystery woman up?
“Oh yay, you made it.”
Madison stands up and hugs her. She gestures to the men who each hold out their hands to greet her.
She smiles as she politely shakes their hands and then wipes her hand off against her tight blue jeans. She may not think they can see her, but I can. I can’t help but chuckle as I shake my head. Those guys stand no chance with a woman like that, she screams privilege, she screams wealth. She is on a whole other planet compared to them.
Luke, Chad, Connor and Miles, may have the charm to win other girls from our town over, but not her. I could though. Not that I want to. I don’t date. I fuck, but I don’t need anyone holding me back or controlling what I do. I have been through a lot of shit in my thirty-one years of life. The last thing I need is a clingy woman who nags me for the rest of my youth.
Madison and this mystery woman approach the bar. I take in more of her beauty, her long lashes, her slim nose, pink cheeks, nude lips, her blonde hair shining with the light above her.
“Caleb, can we get two margaritas?” Madison asks as she places eight dollars on the bar top. I slide it back to her.
“Now you know you don’t get to pay on ladies night.” I wink at her, and she smiles, blushing like a red cherry. Madison is seeing Connor and we have known each other since we were kids.
Mystery woman eyes me, her eyes trailing over my face and body, her eyes squinted slightly. I turn my head to face mystery woman, her eyes immediately putting me into a trance. Her blue eyes are the rarest blues I have ever seen. Her eyebrows sculpted, not a hair out of place. My god, she is even sexier directly in front of me. I can smell her perfume sizzling off her body, the sweet notes of vanilla, smells so good you want to lick her skin. We stay eye locked for what seems like minutes.
Madison clears her throat, “Um, so those drinks Caleb?”
I snap out her spell, and begin making their drinks, dipping their frosted glasses in the salt and pouring the margaritas to the brim. I slide the drinks across the bar and smile.
“Caleb”, I mention like a fucking idiot. I instantly regret opening my mouth as she obviously heard Madison say my name.
“Yeah, so I have heard.”
She smiles and sips her drink, her lips rest against the glass as she swallows. She caresses the drink in her hand as her tongue darts out and licks the salt on her lips. It’s almost in slow motion as my eyes follow her tongue until it disappears back into her mouth. The action makes my cock twitch.
She follows Madison back to the group. My hands rub through my hair as I exhale. Frustrated with myself that I didn’t play it cool. What’s wrong with me? Usually I have more game, but I froze in front of her.
I continue on through the night, serving drinks, helping bring out orders until there were only a handful of patrons in the bar. It’s about 1 am and Madison, Mystery woman and Connor are still seated. Connor is a cool dude. His father owns a local farmer’s market and Connor helps him run it. I try to not look at her, but I can’t help it when I can hear her laugh, see her tuck her hair behind her ear, sip her drink and then sit back against the stool.
“Dude, you have been staring at her all night. Who is she?” Travis questions as he walks through the kitchen doors.
He sets his apron down on the counter and leans forward, admiring the view. She places her hand on her chest when she laughs, and then nestles it under her nose as if she is going to sneeze.
“I have no fucking clue.”
He pats my back before lifting up and collecting his apron once more.
“Well, whoever she is, if she is staying here, she will have the whole town running around looking like lost puppies, including you.” He chuckles as he re-enters the kitchen.
“Caleb, right?”
I turn around to find her leaning against the bar, shaking her emptied glass. She smiles and tucks a strand of hair behind her ear. I get an sense she does this simple act when she is nervous.
“Mystery woman, another margarita?”
She tilts her head at the mention of her nickname but doesn’t correct me, she just giggles. I blend up another strawberry margarita, brimming the glass with salt and slide it over to her.
“So, are you just passing through?” I question as I continue to put away the clean dishes. She turns to look behind her, noticing Madison is getting awfully close with Connor. She settles onto the barstool and taps her finger against the glass.
“Nope. You are looking at the newest resident of Everwood Peaks.” She lifts her glass in the air, cheering an invisible glass. I chuckle at her cuteness.
“Are you drunk mystery woman?”
Her nose scrunches up, almost as if she has a bad taste in her mouth.
