2. First meeting.

"Can you get me a glass of whisky straight up?" Said April, as she took off her baby pink wool coat and plaid scarf which was wrapped around her neck. She felt a little piece of snow on the right side of her neck, so she raised her shoulder to wipe it off. Glancing in space, she ran her hand through her beautiful light blonde hair and grabbed a high chair to sit at the bar.

Her nose and ears were the color of a cherry, her eyes matched the grass underneath the snow outside, and the deep circles under her eyes tonight created curves like the moon. It seemed as if, she either had a huge fight with someone or just finished crying her heart out; for whatever reason/s. She looked quiet and portrayed an image of, "Stay Away From Me!" Yet something in her eyes flashed,” Someone please come talk to me."

"Here's your drink," said Gabi.
"Thanks." Replied April as her green eyes met with Gabi's Blue eyes for the first time.
"Sure. Anything else?" Gabi threw back.
"No, I am good, I think." April muttered.
"Oh and can you please keep my tab open?" Asked April. Gabi smiled back.

Many strangers ended up visiting Gabi at the bar on her work nights. She'd become a rich girl - with a lot of emotional assets deposited by her customers in the bank of her heart. Her upbeat and 'people' personality could sense the low-key-ness of April's mood. As she stepped away to help the girl with a black Kangol hat for a Strawberry Daiquiri, Gabi wondered about April.

"Score!!!!" a crowd cheered for Lebron James when he scored a 3 pointer. Everyone's head automatically turned towards the big flat screen T.V. hanging on the back wall of the bar.

Gabi continued shaking the ice with Vodka, and lemon juice inside the shaker, simultaneously she wondered what sort of cocktail of thoughts was pouring itself out in April's mind. "I bet it's not intoxicating enough, so she came here!" Thought Gabi. She sure was curious to find out.
