Who: Eric Freeman and Izzy Chase.
What: Impromptu meeting.
Where: Samir’s.
When: Thursday Evening.
Rating: Unknown at Present.
Status: In Progress

Rounding the corner near Samir’s, Izzy let out a puff of relief as the door of the bar finally came into sight for her. She had really tried to not go out that night, she really had. With the overwhelming stupidity of some of her managers, on what was already a short-staffed day, by the time she had finished she could not have gotten out of there quick enough. She had just about given up cigarettes, except for when she was extremely drunk, there was no way on earth she was going to try and curb her drink after a day like that too.

Pushing her way into the bar, and through the light crowd to the bar, a bright grin of relief crossed her lips when she found a stall quickly. Pulling her jacket from her shoulders, she set it on the back of the chair. Ordering two large rum and cokes, the first one was finished before the bartender even had a chance to place the second down in front of her.

Pausing for a moment, Izzy’s eyes went towards the door as she recalled her walk towards the bar. Then nodding her head, her hand dropped from her hair. “Yes! I know exactly where you mean. I cannot believe I missed that it was there”

Even though she was quite sure that most girls would be fawning over a handsome guy like him, referring to them as pretty, that was not the type of girl Izzy was. While the complement was definitely not unappreciated, she found herself quite enjoying the slight banter they had been enjoying previously.

“Well, seeing as you have gone to such lengths to reassure me that I am completely unremarkable I am compared to your other clientele, then I have no reason not to go, eh?” she teased playfully, before shooting him a look that told him that she was about as far from being offended by his comment that she could be.

“Think I could schedule some time with one of the part-owners beforehand? For lessons? I would hate to make a fool of myself on the first time there” she asked, trying to play off her hopefulness she might see him again as further banter.

The way her head shook out when her hand fell out of her hair made her hair bounce a bit. Eric found that he liked the movement and her expression when she did it. Izzy had to banter back of course, and Eric wasn't going to miss a beat on that. Her look was flirty and playful, so he gave it right back happy for the banter and the playfulness.

"Oh, I never meant to imply you're anything other than exceptional. The Venus herself, dontcha know?" He cracked up as he teased, with a thick, fake Minnesota accent for emphasis and laughs. Was there a less sexy accent? Probably not. He could play that off for comedy for a minute. And when Izzy threw that out there, he was all too happy to hear it.

"You know, I think that could be arranged. What do you have going on tomorrow?"

Laughing at his accent, Izzy scrunched up her face and shook her head at him. Of all the accents he could have picked, he just had to go for that one. “The Venus, eh? Well, seeing how you put it that way, I would be a fool to stay away, wouldn’t I?” she responded, trying her best to not grin at the complement.

“I work until 4pm tomorrow, but after that I am completely free. I can come straight from work so I’m not clogging up a lane or whatever with my distinct averageness on a Friday night. Or, I could always pop up around closing time. Whatevers easiest for you”. Apart from seeming laid back, him setting the time had the benefit of it probably meaning she would get a decent amount of his attention.

"That you would." He couldn't help the banter in his normal voice now. It was everything. He grinned at her as she offered to swing by and then made that joke, as if to hammer the point home. Eric couldn't let that stand though. He leaned in just a little more, hand accidentally brushing hers. The contact was electric, though, and it added to the whole package overall.

"You could come by around closing time. And I get the impression nothing about you is average. How about it though? Some one on one time? I'll leave the light on for you."

Shaking her head at him, at this point Izzy’s grin was practically reaching from ear to ear thanks to the easy flow of back-and-forth conversation between the pair of them. So, when she felt his hand brush against hers and the hair stood up a little on her hand, it only confirmed what she already knew, she would have to hang out with him again.

“I think closing time sounds good to me” she nodded, before taking a sip from her drink, “I mean, it’s not every day an expert offers me a private lesson, so I would be a fool to decline now, wouldn’t I?”

	They could stay in touch, for sure. That was probably as good an idea for Eric as it was for Izzy. He felt good, talking with her like this. It made things easier for a bit. "Great. Come by tomorrow night maybe? We close at 9." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I was waiting for Kyles player to message me back about being his daughter, but they never did. I've gone ahead and submitted her anyway now, so she'll be in hopefully before long. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Chewing on her bottom lip for a moment, Izzy gave Eric an appreciative look up and down before eventually nodding her head. “Eight works for me” she agreed before she caught sight of her clock.

“Unfortunately, I am going to have to play Cinderella now and head off as I have work early in the morning….” She started before opening up her bag. Scribbling down her number of a piece of paper, she slid it across the bar towards him, before throwing the pen back in her bag.

“If plans change, or you get bored, feel free to message me. I’ll be nice to hear from you”

	"Well, Cinderella, I hope you have a good night." Eric replied easily as he took the paper from her. Then he took his phone from his pocket, setting it aside for the moment until Izzy got up. "I look forward to it. I'll see you tomorrow night?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Throwing her coat on, and hanging her bag from the shoulder, Izzy turned back to face Eric. “Thanks, Flyboy” she grinned at him, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. “And try and stay out of trouble until at least tomorrow night, I’m looking forward to our hang.”

Then, giving him one last look up and down, she turned on her heel and headed out of the door of the bar.
