#sketchy bar that maxines in and they're probably at the bar sitting beside one another or smth

“ can you handle that ? ”               STARRING   @obsessher​

men like him didn’t belong in places like these.    a place where the boarded up windows meant reprieve for the sinners inside and   an act of kindness   for those passing by.   a curious eye could easily peer through the slits of the makeshift blocks but all they would see would be a bar that looked like the years had taken their toll.    the floors of the establishment were scratched in jagged lines from chairs dragged in drunken stupors and the chalkboard menu seemed to have an ever present dusting of white despite the elbow grease the bartender put in to wipe it clear every afternoon.   but that was all just surface level shit.   peel back a few more wooden planks and maybe then they’d catch sight of the lazy flutter of velvet curtains leading to seedy back rooms where morals were loose and wallets were looser.    it was then that maxine decided,   men like him   definitely   belonged in places like these but most didn’t have the balls to walk in like a sore thumb so brazenly.

it wasn’t that she took an interest in the put together stranger,   but curiosity edged her on   like a cat   counting down its nine lives.    in said feline motion she stretched her arms across the counter in one fluid slide of her body and rested her chin on the crook of her elbow.    she batted her thick lashes at him tauntingly.  ❝   why ?   you one of ‘em guys that think girls can’t hold down their liquor ?  ❞   when she sat back up,   she raised her glass of beer to her lips.    without taking her eyes off him,   she chugged the remainder of her drink and rested the glass back on the counter with a harsh thud.    the coy grin on her lips was   sharper   than it had been before.   ❝   your question answered,   time for mine.    what’cha doing here,   mister button-up ?  ❞
