It has been weeks since Gabriel last saw Bethany, though she was rude and arrogant, but she was very beautiful and confidence radiates around her, he felt himself attracted to her.
She appeared in his dream once and he was greatly disturbed, her thick golden hair, hazel eyes and cherry lips kept popping up in his memory.
He was shocked when he suddenly had the urge to see her but with her proud and arrogant behaviour, she would be very unwilling to give audience to the boy who kept crossing her path in awkward situations. He soon stopped thinking about her and closed her eyes.
"Who am I kidding, I can't stop thinking about her, perhaps she would visit the bar today as it's Friday night," he said to himself and opened his shut eyes.
He dressed up in his casual but hot way, his hair in a hot disarray.
He drove his motorcycle out. On his way, he thought to himself what the fuck he was doing.
Nevertheless, he went ahead untill he got to the bar. He parked his bike and looked around checking if her car was around.
He looked and chuckled, he didn't even register the colour of her car his mind. How was he to know if she was here.
He walked inside and the manager was astonished to see him and he.
"Why are you here?" The manager asked, if one could notice, his tone was polite.
"Watch over things and refresh myself," His reply was simple and he walked away from there.
He was sitting behind the counter, looking and monitoring the people coming in and leaving the bar.
He was slightly disappointed when he didn't see her and she still also didn't show up.
He gulped a whiskey to clear his thoughts.

Dove entered the restaurant majestically drawing attention to herself as she carried her very elegant and soft aura around her. This feature that distinguished Claire and her life but it did not get in the way of their relationship.
She glanced around the VIP section and her eyes fell on the person she came here to meet.
A faint smile played on her lips as she hid how nervous she felt.
She walked up to him. He stood up when she walked up to him.
"Hey," he pecked her cheeks and she smiled in reply.
"Hi,How was your day?" She asked, feeling shy.
He pulled out her chair and she sat down with a smile. The restaurant was very fancy and they were the only ones in this section.
A waitress walked up to them with a beautiful smile.
"Pleasant evening madam and sir, can I take your order. Here is the menu," She handed the menu to Dove and Stanley also.
"When did you get here?" She asked.
"Not too long before before you walked in," he said with a smiling, hiding the fact that he had been sitting there for quite a while, like he had nothing to do.
"Oh! I had thought I had kept you waiting..."
"No, you did not."
She gave him a smile and the waitress brought in their food in a cart and served them.
Dove looked at the food enthusiastically.
"Uhm looks good!" She commented when she saw the food being served.
"But you look better than the food, though," stanley commented which made her look up at him, she shook her head with a smile.
He watched her reaction and expression and found it cute. Despite all the airs around her she could actually be cute? That thought flashed across his mind for a second.
"It's been a while I went on a date," Stanley said as he sipped wine while still watching her.
Dove looked up and asked him "why? You seem like someone who does this pretty often" she gave a small smile knowing he got the message. She was hinting at how flattering he was.
"I have been busy with work and I haven't found someone I like," he said, though it was half the reason. He never had the plans of remarrying. He didn't want to go through that heartbreak of losing someone again, his little Princess was enough for him. He was not going to scare her off with those thoughts,Instead he continued.
"But, I have found a woman who captivated me and I have grown interest in her," He said smoothly, it seemed like he was talking to an old friend or maybe flirting instead.
Dove was curious at his words and asked," Who is she, if I may ask."
"Someone very beautiful," he replied and Dove blushed on the behalf of the person.
"Still didn't tell me who she is," Dove said, rolling her eyes before smiling.
"You," he said casually. Dove dropped her gaze as a smile crept on her cheeks, she could not keep up with the way he was gazing at her,also,the words coming out of his mouth ready to turn her red at anytime.
"You are quite good with your words, uh?" Dove said and sat straighter, looking more elegant in his eyes. His eyes kept taking her petite and dainty features. He was feeling a kind of way that surprised him. He hadn't felt such in awhile.
"You are interesting too, thank God, this is not as boring as the ones my mother set for me," She said and her face lit up in annoyance." They were quite a number of them just this year."
Stanley smiled, he could understand such a thing.
" You didn't find interest in any of them?" he asked to clarify things and know if she was in any relationship.
"No, I just couldn't like any of them."
Dove replied. She was a woman who believed in love and not on arranged marriage.
" Trust me, I have experienced assholes in expensive suits." Stanley smiled at her remark.
He was studying her type of person and he found her interesting, not like those stuck up bitches.
Their discussion wandered as they talked on topics like business and then fashion, Dove could not deny that she was having a good time.
The dinner ended and Stanley held Dove's hands across the table.
"I had a very lovely evening with you and I like it a lot. I would love it if we meet another day," he said looking straight into her eyes.
Dove felt like she was in a trance as she stared straight into his eyes. She didn't understand the emotions she saw in them.
At first she was at lost for what you say but she finally replied, "I like you too." The statement earned her a charming smile and they left the restaurant together.
