Sprinting down the streets isn't an easy task when you're wearing boots with heels, although Ai nailed it. Sprinting down the street without looking like a mess or falling down, actually looking human-like.

She noticed a tall figure standing outside the bar, tapping his foot while looking at his phone although he puts it away when he started to hear her sprinting towards him.

When she finally had gotten to him before he could even scold her for being late, Ai just buckled down on her knees pressing her hands against them, exhaling tiredly and point a finger to him, indicating him to shut up for a moment. After fully recovering she stood up straight and looked at him with a smug smile on her face.

"I'm sorry."

He looked at her but saw no apologetic expression on her face, which made him whine back at her.

"You're not sorry! Just look at your smug face! What the hell took your time it' almost ten o'clock you jerk!"

He pointed at her, waiting for her answer.

"Honestly, I was reading a book. But when it got close to the time for me to leave I just said to myself 'one more chapter', after that I had read like eight chapters and were late. So yeah, that's what happened."

Ren looked at her in disbelief, and how shamelessly she said it to his face without even try to bend the story a little, for her sake.

"Ai, I'm going, to be honest with you, you're hot and that white shirt and tight jeans reveal the curves you have and don't even get me started on the navy blue leather jacket."

He rambled on stating matter of factly, making her make gestures of oh stop it but keep on flattering me.

"But this is why we will never ever get together, you're an asshole!"

He over-exaggerated the word ever crossing his hand in disgust, Ai just stood there with a hand placed on her hip and an unimpressed expression on her face. She snorted back at him, giving him a friendly pat on his back.

"Right back at you bro."

Entering the bar, it had a good atmosphere today a band were playing some soft rock so people could still interact. They walked up to the bar waiting for the bartender to notice them, not long after he stood in front of the two.

"Hey, we'd want a scotch and two shots of tequila."

Ai ordered for herself and Ren, who were checking out "targets", as he would call them.

"Okay, anything else?"

The bartender asked.

"No that's it."

Ai turned around looking at whatever her friend was checking out on, she felt the hot air suffocating her and decided to take her jacket off, leaving her only with her tight v-lined white shirt on. Ren noticed it and just had to make a comment.

"Dude! The shirt has an open back, I approve."

He stated with a wide grin on his face and a thumb up, Ai scoffed flattering her eyes exaggerated and smiled smugly at Ren.

"First of all, thank you. You're not looking so bad yourself you Bi-tch."

Ai said with a goofy grin plastered on her face, he looked at her with a repelled expression he slowly pinching the bridge of his nose.

"Aisa you said you promised you would never use that idiotic word again."

Looking at him with a smug expression she started to poke on his cheek

"Hey, why are you saying my full name, why are you being so bi-tchy?"

Ai overly pronounced the word once again, only making Ren lose his cool exterior.

"The fact that I am bisexual and you made a pun about it was fun the three first times, now it's just stupid!"

She started to laugh at his agitated face, Ai loved to vex Ren it was so easy to annoy him and make him lose his cool. She knew he didn't mind her joking friendly about his sexuality, he didn't care about it they had been friends for almost three years now. He has a very outgoing personality and has always had it really easy to talk to anyone about it. Ai always joked about it, but he didn't mind it, he knew she was doing it just to vex him.

Standing on the other side of the bar separated were a woman with a tight black dress, red hair and curvy body. On the other end was a tall lean man with raven black hair wearing a white t-shirt and jeans on, Ai taps Ren's shoulder getting his attention.

"On the other side of the bar, is a woman with tight black dress red hair. On the other end is a guy with black hair and a white t-shirt on."

She commented, he looked at the both of them deciding who to go for the bartender placed the three drinks in front of them.

"Here you go, a scotch and two shots."

Ren picked up some money from his coat, paying the drinks.

"So who are you going for?"

"I think I'm going for the chick, she seems really easy."

Ai just nodded handing him his drink, they toasted before chugging down the drinks. Chugging down her second shot, Ai stood up straight preparing herself for the routine they had.

"So what should we try this time?"

"Hmm maybe just brag to her about how hot I am, let's go simple tonight."

Ren explained while brushing his wavy chocolate coloured hair, walking up to the girl Ai looked at her rethinking what she was going to say to this girl.
As she approached the redhead, she accidentally bumped into her making her spill her drink on her shirt. The woman was about the insult her but was interrupted by Ai, trying to dry away the liquid on her dress she started to apologize.

"What the hell, watch where you go."

Oh good, she's rude, I won't feel bad for this later then.

"I'm so sorry, I'm just so clumsy-"

Ai felt someone grabbing her shoulder, pushing her away from the soaked redhead in front of her. It was none other than Ren, he got between the two women giving Ai the signal to leave. She slowly moved away enough so she could see and hear the scene.

They were chatting, she was obviously upset about her dress and he was trying being the big shot finding a solution.

"I actually live close by, maybe you can come over to my place and I'll borrow something from my sister's clothes?"

"Yeah that sounds great, so where do you live?"

The hero card, it was a classic routine Ren actually liked to use in this kind of situations. Ai saw their flirtatious interactions, although she could understand why the redhead would take an interest in him.

Ren had a boyish pretty face, he had a beautiful golden tan tone on his skin with piercing turquoise eyes that stuck out with his dark brown, wavy hair. He wasn't very built but had a rather lean body, using clothes that indicated he still worked out and had a nice body like skinny jeans and button-up shirts. Although she could only see him in a platonic way, the girl looked to be taking interest in him and accepted his offer seeing how they were leaving Ren turned around for a split second making gestures towards Ai that he scored childlike and turned back to put his arm around her shoulder leading her out.

Yeah... Never ever will I get drunk enough to sleep with that.

She chuckled to herself, she was left alone thinking to herself that maybe one more drink wouldn't hurt while walking up to the bar. Ai didn't even get up to the bar before she felt a tap on her shoulder, a voice speaking to her.

"Sorry, but you owe me a drink."

Ai turned to the owner of the voice, looking at him with a puzzled face.

"Why?"

She asked with a quick glance at him.

"Because when I looked at you, I dropped mine."

Cringing for a second of the pickup line she felt a deja vu of this whole situation and felt familiar with this man. It was like she had repeated the same conversation somewhere before. Realizing where and who had made the exact same pickup line before and then the realization hit her.

Could it be?

Hey sweet readers, I just had to throw in some wing-woman action, inspired by Barney and James Stinson from How I met your mother. The pun nickname for Ren, inspired by my bi-tch sister.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
