Ciara didn’t think that would be an option. The cocktail bar had a different atmosphere from most pubs they’d passed. The music was just loud enough to hear but they could easily talk over it and the inside didn’t have that students-gone-wild-every-night-for-a-decade look.
They made their way to the chrome bar and she noticed the thing barely had a scratch. There was a man sitting at the end with his pint perched on a coaster and she guessed that was why the bar remained unscathed.
‘I feel like we should have wiped our feet first,’ Ciara said, because there wasn’t a sticky patch of resistance anywhere.
Elle rolled her eyes, then approached the barmaid. ‘Do you have Crystal?’
‘Coming right up,’ she said.
The woman disappeared through the back and Gem pulled out her Amex. ‘I wonder if we can open a tab.’
‘We should be able to in a place like this,’ Elle said.
Ciara sighed, no doubt that meant her money would be no good here.
‘You’re welcome to open one as long as you leave your card details,’ the man said.
He was pretty cute even with the longer hair, skinny jeans and questionable fashion sense. Or was that his style? It reminded her of the American skater boys but with his own stamp.
Surprisingly, Elle was the one to approach him and when she spoke, it was with her flirting voice. ‘Thank you. I’m Elle Muir and these are my friends, Ciara and Gem.’
Elle stuck out her hand for a shake. Skater boy – who was the last person in the world she’d think her friend would be interested in – stood up so he was towering over Elle. He took her hand and brought it to his lips.
‘It’s a pleasure to meet you. I’m Kieran and this is my place,’ he said.
‘Are you seeing what I’m seeing?’ Gem whispered.
The way Kieran looked at Elle was so intense that she swore her friend was blushing, but that couldn’t be right. Elle went for the polished, put together men who looked clean cut and scrubbed up well.
Kieran looked like he’d rolled out of bed an hour before, finger combed that shiny black hair and pulled on the first clothes that he stumbled across.
‘I’m seeing it, but I’m not sure I believe it,’ Ciara whispered back.
She and Gem were distracted by the waitress bringing back the Crystal, opening the bottle and filling up their glasses. Kieran signalled for Elle’s to be brought the five steps down the bar to her.
‘Let’s leave them to it,’ Gem suggested, picking up the ice bucket with the drink and her glass.
Ciara hesitated, wondering if it was what Elle wanted but they’d only be a few feet away if she needed them so Ciara followed Gem over to a table within spying distance.
‘This is new,’ Gem said and Ciara nodded. ‘I wonder if Elle’s feeling the chemistry.’
Ciara grinned. ‘I’ll bet it’s all that talk about super endorphins. Maybe she thinks Kieran is the key.’
‘Good for her.’
They watched their friend playing coy while Kieran inched closer so they were almost touching. Their voices didn’t carry but by the way Elle appeared to be flirting right back Ciara was sure she was into it.
‘So, now Ms Prude is out the way, I want details!’ Gem said.
Ciara knew exactly what details her friend was after, but somehow sharing the ins and outs of her private time with Zack felt like a betrayal. She decided vague was the way to go.
‘When he touches me everything becomes clearer, sharper and even holding his hand is electrifying. It all quadruples when it’s just us and I can’t seem to get enough of him.’
From Gem’s disappointed pout, she clocked what Ciara was up to.
