CHAPTER 73
ALPHA LINCOLN'S POV
As we got to the bar, the dim lighting and the lively chatter filled the space. It has indeed been a while.
Sean and I greeted a few people with a nod of our head as we spotted a spot at that bar, a corner where we could also observe the crowd and relax.
We ordered our drinks, classical cocktail or bold whiskey, engaged in a brief banter with the bartender, laughing and all that.
Sean and I talked about different things. At a point I scanned the room, we engaged with others in little chats.
"To friendship", Sean and I raised our glasses to a toast, celebrating our bond which have lasted since we were kids until now and which will continue to last and grow stronger.
We vibed as the music played. Good thing the bar played something nice.
While Sean and I enjoyed the evening, the air filled with laughter and talks, different accents even. A lady walked up to us, "Evening Gentlemen."
"Evening", Sean and I greeted her back. I thought she was actually going for Sean until she turned her attention to me.
"Do you want to dance?", she asked while entering between Sean and me. Where we sat was like at the bar, on stools but in a corner, so she managed to put herself in the middle and apologize to Sean.
"It's alright," Sean said as he shifted a bit.
"I don't dance, I apologize," I said to her.
"That is okay", she smiled and moved closer, too close, "We could get to know each other," she said and at this point her hand was on my thighs while her other hand grabbed her drink as she sipped, while watching me.
I let out a tired breath and removed her hands politely, "Thank you, but I would decline your offer, I am not here for this."
"Then what are you here for darling, anything you want I will give it to you", Her hands now roaming around my chest, "You know, you are a catch, hot, and I believe rich too."
"Well, I do not want to be caught, so if you would please respect my decision and leave," I said sternly, my patience already wearing thin.
I clarified it that I would not tolerate any further advances.
By this time, Sean had noticed what was happening, and he even tried to get her attention and make her leave, but she ignored him, pushing herself on me.
And me, already feeling irritated, pushed her away harshly, and she fell on the floor, her drink spilling all over her.
That was not my intention but served her right. I ignored her and went back to my drinking as Sean got closer, "So much for an evening without drama."
"Yeah, right", I shook my head.
A few minutes passed and I felt someone tap my shoulder. Sean has already given me a sign.
As I turned, I raised my glass in a greeting manner but this big guy in front of me, looked not so friendly.
"My girl tells me here that you tried to touch her and because she did not accept, you pushed her down, doing all this to her", The big guy said.
I looked at the lady from before, who was trying to seduce me.
I chuckled, a bad chuckle, "Tell your girl to tell you the truth, okay?", was my response as I turned my back on them.
I knew my instinct were not wrong as the big guy grabbed my shoulder, my hands were already equipped with weapons.
I immediately grabbed a bottle from the bartender, he was mixing up some drinks for someone, grabbing that bottle, I turned quickly and unexpectedly to the big guy and hit the bottle on his head hard, making the bottle break.
And if that was not enough for him, my glass, after I finished my drink, while the big guy was still trying to recover from my first bottle breaking on his head.
I got up, walked to him and smashed my hard glass on his forehead.
He staggered, and the bar was already quiet, as everyone watched the whole drama, "Take your ugly ass girl, yourself and those minions and leave. I would not hit on your girl, even if there was a gun to my head."
All I saw was red, blood. But this big guy made a good decision of leaving with the help of his minions.
They ran!
I growled inwardly and went back to my sit at the bar, "A glass please, make it strong," I said to the bartended.
He immediately mixed my drink and in one go, I drank everything, "Here," I said to the bartender, paying for Sean and my drinks and also for the damage done.
Sean seemed to have even been enjoying the entire correction, cause what I did to that big guy was a correction, correcting his attitude and behavior, "Guess he received the beating meant for another," Sean said while laughing.
"He sure did", Beating that was meant for Luke, this Big guy decided to tap a little from it, "You ready?," I asked Sean while getting up.
"Sure sure, let us go."
MONTANA'S POV
I smiled. Finn Gerard, nice name. I could not tell him my surname, right now, I am not even sure which I went by.
Is it Romano? Vincintore? Or Monteforte. I chose Monteforte anyway. Romano is not mine, that man was never my father, as for Vincintore, the contract is over, so I guess Monteforte and I could not tell him that.
Who knows what could go wrong, and I needed to stay low for a while.
"Would it be okay if I take you out for lunch or dinner some day?", He asked and then added, "I just got here, and I have not met much people, was hoping I could make a friend with you."
"Is that an excuse to make me say yes?", I smiled while he nodded.
"I guess I got caught," Finn said while chuckling.
Well, it is not like I am cheating on Lincoln, better still maybe this can even help me move on from Lincoln, there is nothing even between us anymore. This can Right?
Right?
