Piper was happy with the turnout this evening. For ounce, despite the heartbreak earlier in the day, things seemed to be looking up around there. She noticed everyone was having fun, drinking and mingling and dancing to the live band she had procured back when she’d had a romantic notion to appeal to. Now this slinky sexy band’s music was just more noise in the background.
She turned away from the band to see a young man in front of her. He looked to be about her age but she couldn’t be sure. His blondish locks were curly and boisterous and proclaimed that he wasn’t what he appeared to be, which was ‘just another pretty face’. Piper smiled at him and he flashed her a toothy cocky grin after ordering two ciders. Lucky thing that she knew what those were. “Did you wanna pay now or open a tab?” It was a question that she asked nearly everyone that crossed her path at the bar but for him, there was something different about him.
She watched him with the young lady he was with and he seemed the most normal of normal men in the club that night. There wasn’t a single thing about him, sensed or seen, that Piper could attribute to supernatural or evil or dark in any way. In fact the way he smiled was, if a bit too sure of himself, genuine and sweet. When the girl he was with took a break to the powder room Piper leaned into the counter of her bar and put her chin in her palm. “You look like you’re having fun. Can I ask…why are men assholes? At least, most men I’ve dated and I realize that puts a nasty spin on the rest of the men of the world, fine specimens and such, but… Can you perhaps, try to explain to me why someone I’ve dated for months now suddenly breaks up with me because I’ve been keeping things from him? Why would he think that? I’ve been nothing but honest!”
Except about the witch thing…
She shook her head, the mental statement merely that. But that was it, in a nutshell; she could never tell him about the witch thing.
“A tab might be easier, yeah?” Axel asked as he flashed her another smile before moving off to dance with the girl he hand picked up on his way to the bar, he smirked as he gave her hand a light kiss as she went off to the bathroom, he knew that she would come back to him when she was ready as he was paying her more attention than any other man had so far.
Axel made his way back over to the bar and smiled at Piper as she leaned ont he counter. “Lots of fun..you have an awsome club here. Oh uh…Well not all men are assholes. Maybe you just havent found the right one. If say you were with me I would sweep you off your feet every moment I had and not worry if you were keeping things from me. Everyone has scerets..There are always things we cant tell other people…so if he broke up with you over something like that then he is a bit of a stupid man..”
He smiled again and played with the coaster that his drink had been on as he looked at her. “Men are more inscure then we let on, he was probably thinking you were dating behind his back or I dunno perhaps dealing hardcore drugs.” The vampire laughed and gently took her hand.
“If it was meant to be he will come back to you and apologize for being a massive dick to you. If he doesnt he wasn’t the right one for you..Give it some time, you are just hurting right now becuase how much you felt for him, trust your own feelings.” Axel smirked as the girl he had been dancing with came back and hooked her arm around his and tried to tug him back to the dance floor. HE gave Piper a wink before disappearing back intot he crowd with her.
