I like you #3

As they hung out in her bed for a half hour longer chatting, they decided to spend the rest of the evening together by one of the town shops.

"What would you like to eat today Rose ? Or should I say what do you want for early dinner since it's already 4:15. And I'm feeling a bit hungry from all that kissing." He smiled at her and winked. She blushed. "Yeah I'm pretty hungry too. Let's go somewhere new ?" They walked to a restaurant that was called Red Hawk. Stepping inside Rose saw several different types of people one was a Dwarf with a long red beard and he had some metal gear on sitting at a table with a human man that was very buff and dressed in very heavy metal armor as if he was in war earlier, he had a sword that laid next to him. The dwarf also had a weapon that was a huge hammer under his short feet that hung in the air from his chair. They both looked very intimidating and laughing up a storm drinking liquor. Then there was a woman with blue skin and horns sitting at a table in a corner with a very striking handsome man who gave off a creepy aura, his skin was light and his eyes where very dark almost black in color. He had a hood over his head so she couldnt see if he had horns or elf ears.She wondered what kind of creatures they both where. But mostly she wanted to know what that man was.She's never seen their kind since she never visited this place in the past till now. She caught him eyeing her in the corner. Rose scooted behind Aarie then they went to take a seat at a table that was two tables from the two laughing men.

A dwarf woman with long brown braids and a freckled face walked out to their table, she had a notebook and pen ready to order their drinks. "Hello, my name is Brendy, what can I get cha ?" She asked with a heavy Irish accent. They looked down at their drink menus. "I'll take a beer" Aarie said. "And for the lady ?" Brendy looked at Rose. "I'll take a red wine." "You got it" Brendy said walking back to prepare the drinks.

"I didn't expect you to get alcohol tonight. What's the occasion for ?" Rose smiled looking up at him. "To celebrate our new relationship" he smiled at that. The weird man with the dark eyes in the corner kept sneaking glances at Rose. Aarie caught him looking. "Hmmm" he said as he caught the strange man. Aarie went to get his bow and arrows and stuck them on the table for the other man to see as a warning that he's not afraid to use them if needed. Aarie glanced at him smirking. The strange man shifted his eyes back on the blue woman not wanting to cause a fight. Rose sighed. "Maybe we should take the food to go?" She whispered for only Aarie to hear. "That's what im thinking."

As soon as the dwarf waitress came back with their drinks she then handed them their dinner menus. "I'll give ye some time to order." She nodded and walked to another table.

Aarie started to drink his beer a little fast at first. "Jeez thirsty much ?" Rose laughed at him. "Yeah actually it was hot today. This beer is good too you should try a sip." He handed it to Rose. "I got wine to drink haha, I don't like beer much thanks though."

"Alright " Aarie said chugging the rest of it.

"Hahaha! See that young lad over there ?" The dwarf said laughing to his buddy pointing at Aarie. "Let's challenge him to a drinking contest !" The man and dwarf looked at him amused. "Uhh What the heck? maybe we should go then." Rose said to Aarie worried they will get him drunk. Aarie furrowed his brows. "Ha I bet you I could beat them!" He said full of himself. "Aarie no! They look too intimidating and they look older and bigger than you. I'm sure they can handle liquors better than you." Rose said worried. "Oh stop, it'll be fun ! You wait and see." He got up out of his chair walking to the men's table introducing himself. His frame was way smaller than the big brown haired humans frame. And the dwarfs arms where pretty impressive too. "Oh my gosh" Rose said putting her face in her hand. The waitress gave the two men 4 more beers that they ordered earlier. Pushing two of them towards Aarie as he took a seat with them, he turned around smiling at Rose, she shook her head embarrassed.

The 3 men laughed and joked drinking together. "I say ye got yerself a fine lad over there." the dwarf named Van said to Aarie looking over at Rose. "Is she yers ?" He asked Aarie with his Irish accent. Aarie nodded. "Yes, I'm pretty lucky." He winked again at Rose. He noticed she went ahead and ordered herself some food without him. "You should chug one of those beers boy." The human said he looked around 45 years of age with some white hairs in his hair and beard here and there.Aarie smiled at him and began to drink it. 'He can be a little arrogant at times.' Rose thought eating her food. The dwarf laughed as Aarie tried to drink this beer like he did his own. He noticed that it was no ordinary beer but rum that the older men loved. He gagged and the two men laughed at him. He turned around with a red face. "On second thought I'll join you soon..." "not so fast lad!" Van hit his back shoving the second drink in his hand spilling some on the table. 'Oh God.' Aarie thought worried about the predicament he got himself into. He then gulped down the Irish rum coughing after words his chest burning. The dark eyed guy laughed too seeing this. Rose rolled her eyes at him and shook her head at the 3 men with alcohol. "Idiots." She said loud enough for them to hear.

"Ye better make it up to yer woman later tonight Las." Van mumbled to Aarie with heavy rum breath. "Uhh sure..." he said hiccuping. "Aw come on, suck it up kid." Aaron the human laughed. "We are just having fun with you" he told him to reassure him. "Thanksss guyshh" Aarie slurred. the waitress dropped even 4 more drinks off. "More?!" Rose yelled Aarie turned around shrugging. "I don't knoowww." He said. She crossed her arms and ate the rest of her food silently.

25 mins later and Aarie was sloshed. Having 4 rum drinks to himself with the two dudes cheering him on. Rose got up out of her seat irritated she went to the front door to step outside. The creepy man with black eyes followed her. His blue friend left, so that gave him the chance to sneak to her. Aarie has his head in his hands on the table. "Yer alright there las ?" Van asked trying to not laugh at him. "My head hurtssshhh." He said sighing. "You will be fine boy." Aaron laughed patting his shoulder.

Rose stood outside of the restaurant leaning against the building wondering what time it was. She caught sight of the creepy guy with dark eyes, he took off his hood showing his dark black hair and pointy ears but for some odd reason they weren't as pointy as hers or Aaries ears. She scrunched her brows looking at him. He smiled at her showing his fang like teeth. 'Why is his teeth pointy ? That's odd' she thought as he stood there against a tree.

"Can I help you?" Rose asked to the strange guy. "With what ?" He asked in a rude tone. "Ohh umm I don't know it felt as if you followed me out here" He sighed at her "Maybe I did.got a problem with it ?" He asked her she shook her head. "No your good." She didn't want to irritate him further. He smiled showing his fangs again and walked up to her he was taller than Aarie, he had dark midnight blue hair almost black in certain light and dark brown eyes almost black in color as well. he had light skin with very little freckles. "Are you new here?" He asked her standing there putting out a cigar. "Uhh yeah.. I've been here about 2 weeks and a few days... why ?" He shrugged. "Only curious. Want me to walk you home ? Your friend seems a bit too sloshed there I noticed." She stood there not wanting to speak to him. " no it's fine thanks though." He grinned at her. "Well why not ?" He pushed her with his words. "Because no." She rolled her eyes at him. "Ok then." He gave up and walked away. She shook her head and went back inside. "Rude ass" she breathed.

Aarie was laying his head on the table. The dwarf was passed out next to him. The other man was in the restroom throwing up because he had 10 drinks. "Oh Aarie what did you do? How am I going to get you home. In fact I don't even know where you live ! Ugg" she sat in the other chair next to him poking him." Wake up" "hmmm" he mumbled. "Five more days..." he mumbled. "That makes no sense" she sighed "Your so out of it now, maybe I can get some one to help carry your ass home?" She looked around the restaurant then she caught sight of that rude ass guy standing there again with his arms crossed. "Don't you have anything better to do than stalk people ??" She asked very irritated at the man. He chuckled at her.

"Looks like you'll need my help after all" he smiled slightly at Rose. "No I don't I'll get help elsewhere, in fact maybe you should just go on your way home? That would be a great idea" she threatened to him. He sighed as if not amused and was looking to pick at her more. "Where does he live ?" Rose shrugged at the mans question. "I don't fricken know, maybe I'll ask when he wakes up..." she stared at Aarie waiting impatiently.
