Other notes: Not important and you probably don't need this information but some things in this ficcy are based on my bar -night(I mostly took inspiration from myself to Jared). But only so little, that this is just mostly fiction.
Jared
took a sip from his beer bottle and placed it on the table that was next to
him. He was surfing on internet on his laptop and listened music through
headphones. He had drank couple of beers already and it was 9pm on Friday
night.
He moved
a little on sound of the music and lip -sync some lyrics. He wasn’t planned
anything to do on this night, just being at home by himself. Colin, the guy who
he had met at work couple of weeks ago, suddenly chatted to him on his
Facebook.
Colin: “hey”
Jared: “Hi
you”
C: “What
are u doing tonight?”
J: “uh,
nothing much”
C: “Well….
Would you want to come at bar with me or something?”
They
seemed to go well along at work together, they both worked at one coffee shop.
Colin had just started working there two weeks ago, Jared had had this job for
a year already.
J:”You
know what? I actually knew you’d ask me that, hahah! And yes, I can come”
C:”mmmh
okay, hah. Cool.”
They
settled a meeting at one movie theater that was next to a restaurant where they
were about to go eat first before going to bar.
There
was a night at city center tonight when all the stores had extra hours to be
open. It was only once in a year and it was called “Dark business night”. Silly
name, but it was cool and it was fun for the citizens in this town.
It was
9:30pm now and Jared hopped up from the chair and started to make himself ready
so he could make it to next bus that could take him to city center. He had 10
minutes to make it to bus stop.
Jared
put on a nice, design –hoodie, pants and shoes. He started to re-style his
hair, he totally wasn’t planning anything on this night. But he could do
anything for Colin. Jared had so rarely friends at the moment. His all friends
had either left from his life for a reason or another, and some of them lived
in another city, miles away. He had had rough year, Jared had suffered from
depression and broke up with his last boyfriend Dean.
Jared
had a little thought, was he having a crush on Colin. Probably. Now, this
night, it could be great to figure it out did he or not. But he thought it was
obvious. He just needed to be sure of his feelings.
Normally
Jared had great ‘gay-dar’, but Colin was
harder to read. Maybe that was the thing that interested Jared to come closer
and figure him out more.
He
looked on clock. “Oh my god- Fuck! Oh well… I can walk. Not a biggie, it’s just
couple of miles.” Jared thought. He just missed his bus.
It took
about thirty minutes to forty minutes to get to where Jared and Colin were
meant to meet. Glad they were supposed to meet 10pm and not any earlier than
that. Otherwise he would have been late from meeting.
He stopped
walking for a second to light a cigarette and then continued. Jared took a look
on clock on phone screen, he counted that he would be at the theater in next
fifteen minutes if he walked slower, and in ten if he continued this speed, so
he slowed down his rapid walking.
He put his
hand in pocket of his hoodie while he finished smoking the cigarette and tossed
it away. Some young women who passed him by, looked at him curiously and whispered
something to each other. One of them even winked at him but he didn’t give a
damn. All he could now think of was Colin and all the possibilities of what
could happen tonight with him.
He came
closer to theater and saw a man with dark hair standing nearby. He smoked a
cigarette like Jared while ago. “Hey, man” Colin greeted him. “Hi” Jared
replied and made a little slanted smile. He noticed that Colin returned that
smile.
“Shall
we ?” Colin lead the way to up the door that leaded to restaurant. Jared
followed. “Hello!” A tall blonde haired waitress greeted them. “Hey, uh..table
for two, please”, Colin requested.
Waitress
leaded Jared and Colin to only table and gave them their menu’s. “What would
you like to drink?”, she asked, pen steady to write on notes. “Um… Give me just
a large coke” Colin replied glancing up to waitress. “Okey, and you?” she
responded and then looked at Jared. “same as he, please”, he said.
“Thank
you”, and then she hurried behind counter.
She was
back in a minute. She put down their drinks and then she was away again.
Jared
glanced to counter and saw a good-looking bartender. A man bartender, to be
accurate. “Damn that bartender is hot”, he said to Colin to just start
conversation. “Mmmh, she is indeed”, Colin thought it was the blondie that just
served them minute ago. “Oh.. No, I mean that guy with short dark hair with
sidecut”, Jared blushed a little. “Ohhh”, Colin replied lifting his eyebrows
glancing at the man behind the counter.
It was a
bit awkward now, at least for Jared, he felt so. So he cut the silence. “You
didn’t know I like guys too?” “Well, it doesn’t show on your looks really”,
Colin looked at Jared and smiled. “But I don’t mean it bothers, not at all. It’s
cool”. And then he glanced away with a smirk. “Did I just came out of closet to him?” Jared thought. “Yup, I did”. He was waiting a different
expression like from everyone else, that he had came out to. When Jared didn’t
reply anything and he seemed a bit confused, Colin continued; “It’s kinda cute
though, suits you”.
They
ordered something simple and small meals to eat. They ordered fries with two
dips. After Colin and Jared had eaten their fries, they ordered their checks
and they were ready to go.
At
outside Colin said he needed another smoke and offered Jared one cigarette. He
took it and Colin borrowed his lighter to him.
“They do
you want to go?”, he asked from Jared. “what ever, you choose” Jared shrugged.
“Well
umm.. There’s one bar nearby that has cheap drinks, it’s that way” Colin
pondered and pointed to his left. “Mm okay.” And they started walking. Just in
a minute and they were at a bar.
They
finished their cigarettes and paid few coins to get in the bar to bouncer.
They
took way to downstairs where were the main room of the bar and went to counter.
They took beers from faucet and went to seek a free table. They found one
almost instantly and sat down.
There
wasn’t so much people at bar yet. It was 30 minutes past midnight.
They glance
around to other people. Jared noticed Colin wasn’t interested in others much.
He rather talked to Jared and Jared himself to Colin but at times he took a
look if someone passed by. Colin had actually better place to see everyone but
he didn’t watch others as much as Jared. Jared tried to look like he was
interested in some women around there.
When
Colin noticed, he always tried to make up a conversation. A new song started,
it was quite danceable, and Colin leaned forward over the table to say
something to Jared. “Come, dance with me?” it was actually request than a
question. “I don’t know…” Jared tried to make up a reason to not go but Colin
insisted. He took a hold on Jareds back and leaded him to dance floor where
were like 15 other people also.
They
moved along the music a while. Each song lasted at least four to five minutes.
It was regular at bar where you had a chance to dance.
In the
middle of dancing they went to sit for a while and ordered more drinks. Few shots
also. And then Jared got into dancing more. Colin was pleased that even once Jared
asked him back on floor.
During
one song, Colin looked straight into Jareds eyes, he leaned towards him more. Jared
was so into music and didn’t notice Colin moving closer to him. Colin was cautious
but he slowly and carefully placed his hands on Jareds hips while moving to
music. When he was sure Jared didn’t try to move away and also Jared himself
touched on Colins arms to say through this move, he gave him his permission to
keep a hold. They moved together to music. Maybe some of the dancers and people
at bar tables were watching but Jared didn’t give a damn. Neither didn’t Colin.
Colin moved his head closer to Jared. For his surprise, Jared pressed his lips
on Colins before he could do this. It was his plan but Jared was faster.
Shivers
went through Jareds body from head to toes.
They got
lost in kiss in the middle of dance floor.
“Wow”, he thought.
