Yo, fuckface! Watch this shit. Snaps fingers, a server brings over two bottles of the most expensive champagne
LuminousRavine
What's that supposed to mean
Shut yo mouth, bitch! Watch your fuckin' tone! Throws a glass at you
LuminousRavine
It barely misses my face, which is confusing because the server said you were like a daddy to him.
Are you talkin’ back to me? You little shit! Throws another glass at you
LuminousRavine
They're all drinking glasses, and they smash together. My coat gets a few slivers of glass in it. I look at him. Is this how you say "let's get fucked up?"
Listen here, motherfucker! This ain't no time to get fucked up! Show some fuckin' respect!
LuminousRavine
I'll have you know I wasn't talking back. Only speaking. If you meant to hit me, you could've just said so, buddy.
Look, bitch! I don’t give two shits about you! Just shut the fuck up and stay outta my way, alright?! Stands up, towering over you
LuminousRavine
Oh, woah. My eyes must've gone bad 'cause it looked to me like you started it. I mean we both started it, but-
Grabs you by the collar, lifting you off the ground Watch your fucking mouth, boy! I ain’t got time for your whiny bullshit!
LuminousRavine
I'm not whiny. I'm trying to be reasonable. Your behavior isn't anything close to reasonable though.
Slams you against the wall You think you’re being reasonable? Huh? Well, let me show you what unreasonable feels like!
LuminousRavine
My expression turns to worry as he presses himself against me, and grabs my wrists. Jesus! Calm down man!
Pushes you onto a nearby table, knocking over glasses and plates Calm down? CALM DOWN?! YOU THINK I'M THE ONE WHO SHOULD BE CALMING DOWN?!
LuminousRavine
A huge mirror hangs above us. He's so enraged, he smashes into it. Holy fuck-
Looks around, realizing what he's done Shit...shit...shit...
LuminousRavine
That was your only mistake so far, anger. You did well before that. This is making you look like a hot-headed man who doesn't know how to handle confrontation.
Stares at you, his anger slowly subsiding You...you think I'm hot-headed?
LuminousRavine
No I don't think you're hot-headed. You're calm and collected right now. Your brother Vinnie got more of that hot-headed trait. Damon, you strike me as suave and capable. A natural leader.
Let's go of your wrists and steps back Yeah...yeah, you're right. I can't let my anger control me. I need to stay focused. Thanks...for reminding me of who I am.
LuminousRavine
No problem! And seriously, if you want to hang out sometime or something, call or text me! I just met you, but I think we could hang! I'm looking for a good bodyguard, and you seem very capable, plus you're really sweet.
Smiles softly Yeah, I'd like that. Maybe we can have a drink sometime, away from all this chaos. Just you and me, no glasses flying.
LuminousRavine
That sounds nice. Oh, and my name is Amanda by the way!
Nods, taking out his phone Nice to meet you, Amanda. I'll be sure to reach out soon.
LuminousRavine
Likewise! I gotta go see my friend Emma now, bye Damon! I exit the bar.
Watches Amanda leave, a small smile on his face She's right. I need to control my anger. But damn, she's something else. I can't wait to see her again.
LuminousRavine
2 days later. Hey Damon, it's Amanda! How's it going?
Puts down his drink and smiles Amanda! It's going good, just had a meeting with some potential clients. You know, the usual mafia stuff. How about you?
LuminousRavine
Nothin' new here, same old job. Say, wanna come over tonight? My roommate Vinnie and I will be playing spin the bottle!
Raises an eyebrow Spin the bottle, huh? Sounds like fun. Count me in. What time should I swing by?
LuminousRavine
8pm sharp! Be there or be square. See ya tonight! I hang up.
Checks his schedule and confirms with his brothers Alright, guys. I've got a date tonight, so I'll need you to handle things while I'm out.
LuminousRavine
Later that night. Hey Damon! Come on in! Emma's already here, and she went to get snacks for the game. Hey Emma! I wave to the living room.
Steps into the living room, his eyes scanning the room Nice place you got here, Amanda. Gives Emma a nod Hi, Emma. Thanks for having me over.
LuminousRavine
Oh thank God you made it! We were getting worried. There's wine and grapes in the fridge if you wanna drink. We might not even play spin the bottle tonight, Vinnie seems pretty eager to drink Emma says. Oh hey Vinnie! Where'd you put the TV so I can set up the bottle? I look around.
Looks around and spots a small TV stand in the corner There you go, Vinnie. It's on that little stand over there. I'll grab the wine and grapes, Amanda. You go set up the spin the bottle game while Emma gets the snacks ready. We'll have a good time tonight, trust me. Vinnie: Nods eagerly Yeah, boss! Thanks for helping out. I'll get everything set up. Emma: Laughs Don't worry, Vinnie. Damon's a pro at spin the bottle. He's gonna make us all blush with embarrassment.
LuminousRavine
Alright then! This is gonna be awesome! We start playing spin the bottle.
Watches as Amanda spins the bottle, his eyes fixed on her Well, well, looks like we're in for a night full of surprises. Who knows who'll end up kissing who? Grins mischievously Vinnie: Rolls his eyes playfully Yeah, who knows? But I gotta admit, Damon, you seem pretty eager to see Amanda kiss someone else.
LuminousRavine
Oh please, just because she's cute doesn't mean I'm into her. Besides, a nice girl like her deserves someone better than me, whether I want her or not. But seriously guys, Vinnie can be a pretty big pain in the ass.
Raises an eyebrow Hey now, don't go dissing your own boyfriend like that. I'm sure Amanda appreciates you for who you are.
