As soon as we walked inside the pub, I expected to see people making out and grinding against one other in the background of the loud music. However, I was taken aback when I saw everyone seated at tables, drinking beers, and dressed in shirts, skirts, and casual jeans.
I turned to face Traian, who gave me a simple shrug while dragging me over to a nearby table that was left unoccupied. He drew me over to a chair and called a waiter. I can hear him asking for a beer and juice. Even though I didn't want juice at the moment, I overlooked it. Since my focus right now is on the band performing on stage but I will definitely inform him about that later. One man is singing while the others are behind him, all have their instruments, moving in harmony. The tune was something I had never heard before, but it was serene and lovely. The vocalist's voice was equally entrancing.
A few of the nearby attendees were nodding their heads in time to the music while others were sipping alcohol and conversing casually. It was refreshing to see.
“I like it here,” I said.
Traian answered, "I'm glad”
I feel him getting nearer to me. He had his arm over my chair. My face was hardly more than an inch from his as I turned to face him. He snatched a kiss off my lips and gave me a wink in return. My eyes widened as I felt myself blush. I kicked his leg beneath the table, and all he did was laugh.
"Traian?" came a man's voice.
I turned to my right and noticed a man in his early thirties with neatly styled dark brown hair and gray eyes wearing a dark blue shirt and pair of slacks. He had good looks.
Traian said curtly, "Shaun" and got to his feet. The two gave each other a pull-in and a couple of quick slaps on the back
"What are you doing here?” The man's eyes were pulled to me and he said, "Oh, a date. Is she your girlfriend?” he hold out his hand. "I'm Shaun"
I get up and grasp his, "Jaidyn"
Traian looked at me and slung his arm around my waist, saying, "Yeah, she's my girlfriend."
"Damn dude, I am glad you are settling down with a hottie," Shaun stated.
Shaking his head, Train says, "Say that to yourself as well, Shaun."
"No, bro, I'm comfortable being a single man and just committed in one night—"
Shaun didn't finish his sentence when a stunning woman with red lips and a short, tiny red dress—which exposed her cleavage—linked on his arms and squeezed her breast against his upper arm.
Although she was whispering, we could hear her say, "Hey, baby, let's get out of here."
Laughing, Shaun put his arm over the woman's shoulder. the woman's breast was close to where his hand landed.
Shaun replied smugly, "Gotta go, dude, more important things."
I saw how the woman cast a sidelong glance toward Traian, who was just nodding to his companion. The woman briefly licked her bottom lip while keeping her eyes on Traian's body before turning them to me. Her smile turned into a grin and she winked at me. Before they left the bar, she may have murmured her congrats to me.
Congratulations on what, exactly? I looked across at Traian, who was now looking at his phone. My gaze shifted from his handsome face to his powerful thighs, solid chest, and abdomen. His height and muscular build may give the impression that he is big to others. I now realize what the woman was trying to say. I was taken aback as he abruptly turned to face me. I quickly turned my head away in an effort to avoid his noticing that I was admiring him.
A little while later, the waiter arrived and set beers, an orange juice, and some appetizers on the table. Traian started to guzzle down his beer like it was water, and I cocked an eyebrow at him.
"What?" he asked.
I openly stated, "I don't want orange juice”
"I don't want you to become intoxicated since you drank wine earlier,"
“You have a lot to learn about me if you believe I would become drunk after consuming such a little wine,” I giggled.
"Well, I would love to know when we reach our home. You can get drunk there and I will just watch you—"
I grabbed the bottle he was holding and drank it, interrupting him. Though I groan as it slides through my throat, I enjoy the taste afterward. I nodded, enjoying the flavor as I stared down at the bottle in my hand.
Traian was facing me and gazing at my face while his head was resting on his hand.
“What are you saying again?” I asked with a smirk.
He grins and shakes his head, "Nothing, beautiful"
I laughed at him and we both drank all the while talking about anything under the sun.
The song abruptly transitions into a mellow ballad about romance. I failed to see that Traian had risen up and come over to me as my eyes strayed to the couples who had left their seats and entered the pub's dance floor.
"May I have a dance?" a hand reached out in my line of sight.
When I turned around, Traian's stunning face greeted me. In the pub's light, his blue eyes shine. I nodded and placed my hand on his.
As soon as he had me on the dance floor, he quickly placed his hand on my waist and I placed mine on his shoulders. We're huddled up next to one another, dancing to the music's beat. I felt the heat of his body radiate toward me, and I could smell his scent. That enticing and alluring fragrance.
He suddenly said, "You're beautiful," gazing intently into my eyes
I felt heat flow on my cheek but I know that I am probably blushing now due to alcohol but I am not drunk. Even while my heart is pounding loudly, I am aware of everything that is occurring to me at this moment.
I leaned against his chest and said, "And you're perfect."
I close my eyes, hearing his heartbeat. I immediately felt at home at that moment.
I'm not sure how many hours went by while I was too busy enjoying the music to notice. After two songs, we went back to our seats. Traian had his big hand on my leg and my head was leaning on his wide shoulder. The band left the stage after saying that they will sing again later. Everyone at the tables turns to converse with one another while sipping and enjoying their dun.
Traian gently squeezed my thigh while muttering, "Let's go home, it was becoming late."
I nodded as I lifted my head off of his shoulder. It was nearly eleven o'clock in the evening when I glanced at my watch.
"Yes, let's go," I said as I rose up and extended my hand to him.
He slipped his fingers on mine as he stood up and we walked out of the pub towards his car.
