Young Fella At the Bar

I was at the bar early last night.  I had a rough day at work.   I was sitting at the bar alone minding my own business.  I wasn’t in the mood of any conversation, just wanted some time to myself.  The door opened and I looked that way.  It was a young fella who didn’t looked more than 18 years old.  I continued with my business.  He stood at the end of the bar from me and asked the bartender for drink.  The bartender asked for ID and he showed the female bartender his ID and gave the young fella his drink.

As I was drinking the last of my drink, the bartender placed a drink in front of me and said, “This drink is on the young gentleman at the end of the bar.”

I looked over his way and he lifted his glass and I bought him a drink.  Moments later he came over and stood beside me and we started chatting away.  Interesting that we hit it off very well.  The sudden feeling of just wanted to be alone disappeared.  Turned out that he was 23 years old.  He was telling me that he is new to the area and been to this bar a couple of times.    David and I ended up exchanging phone numbers.  We had a good night talking about a good couple of hours until we departed. 

Later that night I got a text message and it read “I enjoyed our night tonight.  Love to see you again,” with attached photo of himself.
