With a smile, the black-haired woman said, "Call me," and then she picked up her drink and headed back to her friends, leaving Kevin smiling as he looked at the paper slip in his hands.
"That was smooth," the bartender remarked, watching the black-haired woman join her friends.
Kevin grinned, holding the slip of paper with the woman's contact information. "What can I say? I guess I was just born a charmer."
"Who was born a charmer?" a voice interrupted, surprising both Kevin and the bartender. They turned to see a beautiful older lady at the bar.
Despite sgray hair and wrinkles, her figure was as elegant as the woman Kevin had been talking to earlier.
Kevin's surprise turned to a smile as he recognized her. "Lidia, what a surprise! What are you doing here?"
"Just cback from the den," Lidia said, taking a seat near him as the bartender approached. "What would you like today, ma'am?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"The usual," Lidia replied, then turned to Kevin. "What about you, brat? What are you doing here? And how's Keith? Is she with you?"
Kevin shook his head as he placed the empty glass on the counter. "One more," he requested before turning to Lidia. "I'm also coming back from the den, and Keith is still there."
"What's she doing there?" Lidia asked with a smile.
"The sas everyone else," Kevin replied cryptically. Seeing Lidia's confusion, he elaborated, "Fighting for riches."
"Well, that's the life of a cultivator, isn't it? Always striving for riches and power," Lidia remarked with a nostalgic glance. Then, she leaned in slightly and inquired, "So, why aren't you with her? Did you two break up?"
Kevin chuckled and shook his head. "Nah, nothing like that," he replied with a smile. "I just had sbusiness to attend to back home. I'll be back here in one or two months."
"Here's your drink, ma'am," the bartender said, serving Lidia her drink. She thanked him before continuing their conversation. "Good for you two, you suit each other quite well."
"Thanks," Kevin accepted her compliment graciously. He then picked up his own drink, which the bartender had silently placed near him, and continued, "But enough about me. What makes you go into the den, Lidia? Looking for sadventure?"
Lidia chuckled before taking a sip of her drink and saying, "As much as I'd like to go on adventures, these old bones can't take it without feeling pain."
"From what I remember, they've takenon just fine. So, what's one or two adventures?" Kevin replied with a smirk, making Lidia look at him with a smile.
Lidia grinned wider and leaned in, "Brat, it wasn't that hard taking you on. These old bones can handle cheeky ones like you just fine."
Kevin didn't respond immediately. He took a sip of his drink and then asked, "So, are you alone here?"
"Yeah, what about you? Do you have any friends on board that we can enjoy the night with?" she asked, her eyes twinkling mischievously.
Kevin smiled and mentioned Keyara and Viana briefly, but didn't delve into details. "Keith's sister and grandma are with me. Unfortunately, they're not into the kind of fun you're talking about."
Lidia's expression turned disappointed, evident in her voice. "That's a shame. I was hoping to have sfun when I saw you sitting here chatting with that girl," she said, causing Kevin to chuckle. After a moment, Lidia smiled again and leaned closer, asking, "Speaking of that girl, what about her?"
"Nah, it's going to take stfor her to get that comfortable around me," Kevin said, shaking his head, once again disappointing Lidia. Seeing her disappointed expression, he continued, "But that doesn't mean we can't have a good time, just the two of us, right?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLidia smirked at Kevin and asked, "What kind of good tare we talking about?" She finished her drink with a last sip and gestured to the bartender for another.
Kevin did the sbefore replying, "Con, don't play dumb. We both know exactly what kind of good twe're talking about."
As they talked, the bartender overheard their conversation but couldn't quite figure out what they were discussing. Deciding not to pry, he focused on his job of making drinks and engaging in light conversations with lone customers. Now that Kevin had company, he could return his attention to mixing drinks, a welcomed aspect of his job. Kevin and Lidia continued their conversation and drinks until they finally clarified what kind of good tthey were going to have.
There were sdiscussions about bathroom breaks, backdoors, and armpits, but once negotiated, they left the bar together.
"Where to next?" Kevin slurred slightly as they stumbled out of the bar, both appearing a bit tipsy. Kevin seemed a bit more affected than Lidia, evident from his slurred speech and flushed face from the alcohol.
Lidia grinned mischievously, her eyes gleaming with excitement. "I know a cozy spot not far from here," she said, gesturing for him to follow as they made their way through the mall toward the hotel area.
As they walked, Kevin stumbled slightly, leaning on Lidia for support. She chuckled and steadied him with a playful grin.
"You alright there?" she teased.
"Yeah, just enjoying the moment," Kevin replied with a lopsided smile.
They reached the hotel area, where Lidia led Kevin to a quaint café tucked away in a corner. The soft glow of fairy lights illuminated the outdoor seating area, creating a cozy ambiance.
"This is it," Lidia announced proudly. Both of them wore an excited smile as they entered the hotel, looking froward to things they were gonna do there.
Unfortunately for Kevin, everything beca blur as he entered the hotel, only beginning to clarify when he felt a warm, wet sensation on his crotch. Trying to collect himself, he asked himself, 'What's happening? Where am I? Where is Lidia?' He attempted to look around, but his vision was too blurry to discern the surroundings. The sounds were also muffled, but he could hear sslurping noises coming from below, and when he looked down, he saw a head bobbing up and down.
