The bar

In the evening, you and Cassie leave the appartment and drive to the Bar in which Athena works. She´s behind the counter as you enter, and even more gorgeous then in the pictures Carrie showed you.

Her black hair is up in a bun, she wears a silver nose piercing an jewelry, her clothes are professional, ou can imagine that showing much skin can be exhausting as a female barkeeper. Instead, she wears a black top and ripped jeans, however her muscular body is still recognizable through the clothes.

Her green eyes rest on you for a moment, then she greets Carrie with a smile, and you as well.
You order some drinks, and sit down at a table. As Athena brings them to you, you get a closer look at her. Black eyeliner, silver earrings, slightly visible freckles...there was no denying how pretty she looked. Carrie notices you staring, but she doesnt say anything.
"There you go" Her voice isnt deep or anything, but its calmer then Carries. "My shifts ends in 10 minutes, then I´ll join you. I look forward to finally meet you, I´ve hear a lot."

Then she disappears again.
You turn to your girlfriend. "What did you tell her about me?"

She blushes a bit. "Just that you work out a lot...and that you´re pretty good in bed."

"Thats what you told her?"

"...actually I told her you´re REALLY good, but yes. We know each other for some time, thats normal. Its also why I know that she didnt have sex in quite some time, so this might make things easier."

You´re surprised at Carries forwardness, but you nod.

A couple of minutes later, Athena joins you. She sits down next to you, mainly because its the only free spot, which you intentionally planned.

"Ugh, finally. I thought I´d never escape that counter. But sorry, I didnt really introduce myself." he turns to you. "I´m Athena."

You smile. "I know. Carrie told me much about you."
She returns your smile. "Is that right? So did she about you. I heard you work out a lot, which I can clearly see. Which gym do you go to?"

You´re lucky, as you actually go to the same gym as she does, which you tell her.

"No way! How come we never ran into each other?"

You are risking a lot with your reply. "I dont know. But maybe we can train together some time."

You fear she might block you off, you just matter, but she responds with a slight smile and a raied eyebrow. "Perhaps... I´ll tell Carrie to text me your number and I´ll send you my workout times. I´m always happy for some company."

This was almost going to well. You look over to Carrie, who looks just as surprised as you.
"So why did you come here?"

Carrie responds. "Mainly just to say hello. I thought it was about time you two met, I think you have a lot in common."

You spend the next two hours drinking and talking. At some point, you feel Athenas leg against yours. You dont push back against it instantl, you just leave your leg where it is, and slightly move it closer to hers. You decide its best to take things slow, so you dont do much more.
As you say goodbye you hug, and stay together a couple more seconds than would maybe be necessary. You have your arm around her slim waist, pulling her to you. Then both of you let go.
"Dont forget to write." you say, as she is about to turn around.

"Dont worry, I wont."
Did you imagine it or did she wink at you?

Then you get in the car with Carrie.
