for scaling across the table and practically chocking one of the
wolves, but Me-Len just smiled back at her. She patted her hand like it was a
normal day.
Grabbing her pocketbook, London shrugged her
shoulders then cleared her throat as she walked out of the dining room area.
The bar was empty since Ryder had closed it down for the party. She walked up
to the bar and took a seat.
“May I get you something? It’s on the house.” The
man behind the bar informed her.
“What the hell. I’ll have two shots of tequila,
please.” Today had gone to shit so she might as well take something that will
hopefully, calm her nerves down.
“You got it. By the way, that was a great move
jumping over the table. You must be a gymnast or something, because I have
never seen anyone jump that far.” London cleared her throat. She could hardly
believe it either. The table was big and she just scaled it like it was nothing
then she took a werewolf to the ground. Again, like it was nothing. Drink
London, just drink. Don’t think about this right now.
“Uhm thanks.” The bartender placed two shot glasses
on the bar and filled them to the top. London didn’t waste any time when she
grabbed one of the glasses and shot the liquid down her throat. She closed her
eyes as the clear liquid burned its way down to her stomach. This had to be the
good stuff with the extra burn she felt. Tequila always helped her with the
stress. She didn’t drink much, but when everything started to close in on her,
London would get out the bottle and take two shots. That always seemed to do
the trick. However, tonight was turning out to be the night from hell. Thinking
she may need another to help wash it away, London asked the bartender for
another round.
Hearing someone clear their throat, London slowly
opened her eyes and turned to see who was sitting next to her. Ding, ding it
was Tiger boy sitting next to her smiling. What was his name again? Nolan. Yep
that was it.
“Can I get you something sir?” The bartender asked.
“Yes I will have the same as her.” Nolan Banks
answered.
London knew she needed more alcohol so she could
stop the panic that wanted to take over. Taking the second glass, London poured
the tequila down her throat.
“Liquid courage.” Nolan muttered.
“Yep.” London coughed out as she put the glass down
on the table. Nolan patted her on the back as she laughed.
“What’s so funny beautiful?”
“This whole day has been bizarre, wouldn’t you say?”
Nolan turned on the stool toward her. “I think it
has been quite interesting.” Laughing, Mr. Nolan Banks turned in his seat propping
his head up and stared at her.
He was flirting with her and she didn’t want to lead
him on. Hell there probably was another woman sitting at the table just waiting
to start something with her. Trying to ignore what he was saying, London changed
the subject. “So Mr. Banks what is it you do for a living?”
“I think I would like to get to know you better.”
London thought the man was gorgeous, but he did
nothing for her. Not even a tingle or spark. “Well there really isn’t much to
tell. I’ve been at college for four years and now I’m moving to New York for a
job with the Landon Computer Company.”
“Well that’s not going to work,” Nolan protested.
“Why is that?” she asked.
“Because I live in Alpha City and with you going to
live in New York City, that will hinder me from getting to know you,
beautiful.” There it was again. He called her beautiful. London knew she wasn’t
ugly but good grief this man was beyond good-looking. What is his game, London wondered.
“Are you are flirting with me, Mr. Banks.”
Laughing, Nolan put his hand on hers. Hearing the
growl, London turned her head. Ryder was standing behind Nolan looking pissed off
again.
Looking over at Nolan, London asked, “Did he just
growl at me?”
Nolan turned around in his chair and looked at
Ryder. “I think he did.”
