Thread: Learning to Fall  (Alvis & Malice)

Sarai watched with amusement and fascination as he prepared his own boilermaker once Nikolai set him up with the beer and shot. Her amusement grew as she watched Collin take a sip from the lethal concoction and grinned at his reaction. Yeah, thatll do it. Having finished her own car bomb, she looked to Nikolai and smiled. Ill have what hes having. Nikolai chuckled. You sure thats wise Sarai. If I recall, someone reenacted Coyote Ugly not too many days ago. So then I guess this entire bar will be in for quite the treat if a song I like and know comes up, isnt that right Nikolai? He grinned, definitely up for that kind of sight before he set out to give her the same cheap beer and same cheap rye shot and presented it before her in a tall glass with enough room for her to drop the shot. She did just that and took a long sip, turning her attention back to Collin. She grinned and shrugged her shoulders. Its usually the best way that I can endure the nights. I dont like nighttime. Im fond of the day. She sipped her drink again and then lit up another cigarette. There was a reason she had a pack specifically reserved for when drinking she liked to chain smoke when she had enough alcoholic settling in her system. Add with it an empty stomach, after this drink, she might be able to do one more and have her nap before she did any schoolwork. Shed need it at the rate she was going. Listening to the rest of what he was saying, she had to snicker slightly. Oh, if he only knew, she was damn happy that they didnt have the same secret otherwise she might not ever let him live it down. Just as she expected someone to never let her live it down what she did at nights. No one forced her to do it. She did it on her own accord. The money was too good and if all she had to do was look pretty and seduce men, it was the easiest grand she made a night. I would certainly hope we didnt have the same secret. Thatd be a bit of a doozy but also not likely. She said softly, taking a drag of her cigarette before exhaling softly. I think Id be shocked if neither of us had a couple of secrets of our own, to be perfectly honest. Itd be too unnatural otherwise. I think the day I am away with my secrets like that One Republic song, will be the day I am on my deathbed. She thought it over a moment with a sip of her drink before adding a second option. Or, you know, if I ever meet my match. She looked to him as she said it, as if she saw an equal opportunity in him. Not that shed want to try and compare and compete. No, just maybe if she found someone worthy, someone she could trust, it could all end up proving to be very worth it. And then shed really give all of her secrets away and that would be a beautiful day. Getting off the subject of secrets though, feeling none to comfortable about talking about them as she was afraid she might accidentally tell one, she tilted her head. So then, what do you say to staying on this path of getting wasted early in the day? Ive nothing better to do and as great company Nikolai is, I actually know him. But I dont know you. I heard that. Nikolai wasnt standing far away, drying glasses with a rag. Im sure you did. She spoke dryly, raising her glass before taking a sip. Turning back to Collin, she smiled. Well?
