The leaves are dancing gracefully as the wind blows. It was a cold night and for her to relax a bit, she decided to go to her favorite bar - Linquer. Known for their finest taste of liquor and cocktails.
"Hey pretty lady! Alone again?", Raf teasingly asked.
"Stop your non-sense joke brad. It aint funny."
"Oh oh oh! What's up with that long face? I just want to see you smile. You're more prettier when you smile."
(Trix tried to smile forcely.)
"Is that enough? Happy now?"
"That looks much better sweetie. Want me to make your favorite cocktail now?"
"Yes please. Put some love too."
"I will! But you won't accept it. Will you?
"Hahaha! You bet!"
(half an hour)
"Pretty lady, your drink is ready", while handing the glass to her.
"Thanks Brad!"
"Enjoy!"
She slit her fingers across the wine glass and gently take a sip of the cocktail. That atmosphere and the drink suit her current mood. The perfect component of Red Velvet Cake Martini Cocktail—a liqueur that would fulfill the need for the taste of a baked cookie or cake. She was elated. She felt content and satisfied.

(Meanwhile, on the other side of the table)
"Good evening sir!" Arch greeted one of their regular customer.
"Go for a Bloody bull sir?"
"Yes, please! Same old ways." he demanded.
"Sure sir."
"And oh, can you give another order for that pretty lady out there."
"Oh, for Miss Trixxie?!"
"Yes. And please hand this note over with the drink to her."
"Will do sir"
"Much appreciate it"

Bloody Bull - Something like the manly version of the bloody mary. A tasty mixture of vodka, beef bouillon, lemon, tabasco sauce and worcestershire sauce. Again, the name makes up for at least 50% of what makes the manliest drinks manly. And a friendly warning: Make sure you drink it in a regular style drinking glass. Don't let them serve you in a frilly glass or we'll revoke your man card! Not the top choice of drinks for taste, but any man that can down this probably has the hairy chest of a bull from the burning bite of the bloody bull.

"Excuse me Trix. Here's your Red Velvet Cake Martini Cocktail with lot's of love!" Arch presented.
"Oh, I have that already and actually I finished drinking it."
(Pointing the empty wine glass)
"Not that I know. A handsome guy requested me to hand this over to you with this note,"
"Who's guy?" Trix asked.
"There!" (Arch pointing the table where the guys is seated)
"Uw, he must be a ghost then Arch. No one's sitting there!"
"He might left already then."
"Don't messed up with me or I'll ..."
"You'll kiss me?" Arch whispered
"It looks like you have a new suitor Trix. Or he might be a stalker or maybe a secret admirer."
"Shut the fuck up!"
"Alright. You look scary really when you get mad. Then I'll leave you here. Enjoy your drink pretty!"
After Arch left, Trix read the notes as she make a sip of the cocktail.
"If not now, when?" she qouted.
"And what does this exactly mean? Whatever. I'm going to finish this and leave."
After an hour she bade goodbye to her friendsl Raf and to Arch as well.
Raf is Trix bestfriend since high school. Raf became Trix human diary. He is the only one she can tell her story and rely on. She is the only one she can trust. Raf was there for her especially on her down times. Raf is the sole owner of the Linquer.
Before reaching the exit door...
"Oh sorry for bumping you Miss. I must be drunk. I didn't see you coming!", explained the young man at his 30s.
"That's okay. I was not paying attention , so I am at fault too", Trix explained.
But that scent, that voice, it's seems so familiar to her.
"No it can't be. He couldn't be here." thoughts battling in her mind.
While debating herself, someone grab her hands and pulled her into the dark corner of the bar. He gently put his hand around her waist and aimed to kiss her.
"I missed you so much!"
Vin.....
Before she could complete utterring his name, his lips touched her. They exchange kisses passionately. Their tongue battling like it's in a war.
"How'd you know I am here?", Trix asked.
"Of course I have connections. I know your every move."
"So you've been stalking me all along?"
"If you call that way, yes I guess. I am sorry Trix for what I've done before. I was a coward man. I can't stood up and fight for our love....
"Shhh....I know you have your reasons and I have heard enough of it. I am glad that you never hated me."
"I love you Trix. Please give me another chance to prove it to you. This time, I'll make things right. This time, I will bravely face all the challenges that will come our way. I love only you", he said.
"I love you too Vince. And I am willing to start it over with you."
They exchanged kisses again. Those kiss were the sweetest. Those kisses signifies how much they miss each other and how much they are still in love with each other.

"Want to come to my place?"
"You should have not asked me. Because when it comes to you, it's always a Yes."
"Okay, just wait me here! I'll just get my car."
He kissed her forehead and hurriedly went to the parking lot.
After 10 minutes)
"Want a ride beautiful?" he teasingly asked.
"Sure!"
"Fasten your seatbelt as I am ready to take off."
"Huh, take off?"
"Ready to take off your clothes. Mwauhh. Just kidding. I'm taking you to the safest place.
"Interesting! I wanna know where's this you so called safest place?
"The safest place, In my heart." he said while still blushing.
"I was there once. Jerk! But you left me there hanging remember? But it's all in the past. I still want to go there. And now, I wanted to stay there forever." Trix shyly said.
"Then let's start it'll be a long journey. Shall we, My Queen?"
"Alright, My King"
---
"We are here. Welcome to my world. I was once the master here. And now that you are here, I am more than willing to be your servant."
"Corny Vince. You still haven't change."
"Yes, I still haven't change and so my love for you."
"I haven't changed too as so my love."
