He led her through the sticky mass of crowd and turned around to look at her when they reached the staircase.
"Are you okay?!" He shouted over the loud music and Beatrix nodded.
He gave her a smile and her breath hitched as warmth spread through her. Life was really unfair. How can people even look more beautiful when they smiled while she looked like chucky from the horror movie?
Beatrix tried to ignore the butterflies in her stomach with him holding her hands. She followed him on the staircase as she tried her best not to touch the railings or bump into the people making out.
Ew! Okay maybe she was just jealous of them sucking the life out of each other.
Once they reached the top he turned sharply, and panic shot through her as she tried to figure where he was taking her.
They reached a small corridor and he pushed a door open leading her inside of it. Beatrix realized that they were now on the rooftop of the bar.
"Are you afraid of heights?" He asked as they approached the edge of the rooftop.
"N-no." Beatrix replied and bit her lips nervously. God was he going to push her off the building? Yes that must be the reason because why the hell would he bring her here? Beatrix glanced around if anyone was around but unfortunately they were alone.
So there would be no witnesses if he decides to push her? Gosh she must be really stupid to follow a complete hot mysterious stranger to the edge of a rooftop.
"Good, let's sit down." He said while he helped her sit on the edge with her feet dangling in the cold air.
He sat beside her and Beatrix realized how close they were when her hand brushed his.
She pretended to be busy as she stared at the starry black sky. Her heart rate increased as she stole a glance at him.
"You might want to be becareful, we don't want your pretty body splattered on the floor, do we?"
He said, entertained by her squirming and gestured to the floor below them.
Beatrix swallowed and shook her head.
He smirked but said nothing. They sat in silence for a while with Beatrix stealing glances at him. Now that they were out of the blazing lights she realized he had lots of tattoos.
It started from his neck and sneaked into his low cut black loose shirt that hung deep below
his firm chest.
Gosh wouldn't that have hurt? She knew every tattoo had a meaning, she wondered what his story might be for him to have this many.
"You can look at me you know, I don't bite" his
deep voice rolled out of his mouth breaking the silence.
Beatrix finally lifted her gaze to look at him. She realized he was more handsome outside of the dim lightening of the bar.
The man turned to look at her, meeting her a gaze. They stared at each other for a minute as time seemed to slow down.
Beatrix's pulse started it's own little sprint through her veins as she became aware of her own heartbeat. She flushed and quickly averted her gaze.
"You're a shy little thing aren't you sweetheart?" He chuckled and the blush deepened on her face.
"What's your name?" he asked and darted his tongue out to lick his lips.
Beatrix wondered how it tasted like.
"Beatrix." She replied before her thoughts would run south.
"Beatrix." He repeated her name and her name hadn't sounded this nice before.
His thick accent made her name sound sexy. Not like the name of some old woman. For once Beatrix loved her name.
"I'm Rhys." He introduced himself.
"Erm hi Rhys." She said softly a stupid smile etched on her face. Rhys, she loved the name. Beatrix and Rhys nice. So Beys or trixys? Which one would make a nice ship couple name?
Beatrix stiffened when she realized what she was thinking. She couldn't believe she was already planning their ship name. This is what happens when you have been single throughout your life. She groaned internally.
"Hi." He replied back with an amused smile on his face.
Her heart fluttered at how handsome he looked with the smile on his face.
"So are you from here?" He asked curiously as he raked his hands through his hair and leaned back waiting for her answer.
"Uh no. I'm from Country XY. We came here because of a school project. We will go back the day after tomorrow."
"Hm, I see." he hummed, disappointment laced in his voice. Why was he disappointed? Was it because he wouldn't see her again?
She fidgeted with her fingers anxiously, feeling suffocated being so close to this perfect god. She doesn't remember the last time she was this close to a guy. Maybe in kindergarten when the teacher divided them into groups for coloring?
"Uh, so" she cleared her throat breaking the silence, "Why did you want us to come somewhere private?"
He turned to her and stared intensely into her eyes. Beatrix swallowed at the intensity of the gaze and her breathing picked up at how closed they were.
"You're really that innocent huh?"
He trailed his eyes down slowly, burning them into
every inch of her as he takes them down and back
up again, lifting a brow towards her.
Beatrix rubbed the back of her neck, "Me,innocent?Of course not! The last time I mistakenly opened a porn site and oh my God! The things I saw there I feel like I'm tainted forever."
She let out an awkward laugh,running her hand
through the front of her long hair. She couldn't keep still.Her nerves were absolutely killing her right now.
Rhys stared at her for a second before he bursted into laughter.
"You're interesting love, the most interesting woman I have ever met." He said as the corner of his lips curved upwards.
