You ever played pool?
‘Alex she’s here. Alex! ALEX HURRY UP!’ Kara called up the stairs after spotting Maggie walking towards their front door.
Alex made her way down the stairs. ‘Oh my god. Kara if you shout any louder she’ll hear you!’
Maggie locked lightly on the door, causing the sisters to jump.
‘Hey.’ Alex said, opening the door.
‘Hey to you too, you look nice.’ The brunette smiled, shoving her hands in her pockets. ‘Hey Kara.’
Kara waved at Maggie, as her sister blushed. ‘So do you. I didn’t know what the dress code was.’
They were both in jeans, Maggie wearing a white shirt, Alex wearing a v neck and leather jacket.
‘It’s perfect. Ready to go?’ Alex nodded in response, grabbing her keys and walking outside with Maggie.
‘Don’t have her home too late Maggie…or do.’ Kara smirked, standing at the doorway, laughing when the only response she got was Alex mumbling ‘oh my god’ and Maggie chuckling.
‘Soooo…where exactly are we going?’ Alex asked after they had been walking for about 10 minutes.
Maggie grinned. ‘Here.’
They were stood outside of an abandoned looking place, Alex was confused as to what she was supposed to be looking at.
‘It’s better than you think Danvers.’ The brunette told her, opening the door, showing Alex the bar that was behind the door.
They stepped inside, Alex taking it all in. Okay, it was way cooler than she thought it was going to be.
‘So, what do you think?’ Maggie asked, somewhat nervously.
‘Do you take all the girls here?’ Alex asked jokingly.
The brunette chuckled in response, smirking at the taller girl. ‘Only the really pretty ones. Actually I’ve never brought anyone here before.’
Alex felt a sense of pride in knowing she had been taken somewhere special to Maggie. ‘Well, don’t I feel special.’
‘So you should.’ Maggie winked. ‘It’s a place for anyone really, you don’t get judged here, it’s a safe haven for anyone who needs one.’
The way Maggie spoke about the place made Alex feel like this place was important in a way. ‘And, do-do you need one?’
‘Sometimes.’ Maggie shrugged, avoiding eye contact. ‘Shit happens sometimes.’
Alex nodded in response, she knew all too well about that.
‘Drink?’
Alex nodded once again. ‘Surprise me.’
Maggie left her for a moment to grab drinks whilst Alex took a seat. She came back with two club sodas.
‘I didn’t know if you drank so…’ Maggie shrugged apologetically.
‘I do, but this is cool thank you.’ Alex smiled, taking a sip of her drink. ‘So what do you guys do for fun around here?’
The brunette grinned widely, once again almost flooring Alex with it. ‘You ever played pool?’
‘A bit.’ Alex smirked.
‘Want a game? I’ll go easy on you?’
Alex rolled her eyes playfully. ‘Let’s do it. But I won’t go easy on you.’
‘Oh, I see how it is Danvers! Bring it on.’
