Mia swung open the door of the pub shouting “I need a drink now” the bar man knew her order and poured the finest sauvuagian blanc there was in a large wine glass. Pulling up a bar stool she sat and pondered what the last hour had been. “Hello” a dark haired man stood beside her. He was pretty handsome she admired him as he was staring into her eyes. She stayed silence but looked at him with her little smile. “I have never met anyone like you before” without a hestisitation she replied “you should be grateful for that.” He seemed to respond well to blunt mysterious ways and ordered her in another drink. “So why are you here taking to me?” She questioned. “There are many other girls that I’m sure would appreciate your company.” This took him by surpise. Leon wasn’t used to someone not wanting his attention, after all he was a rich successful lawyer. “You look like a girl who knows what she wants and makes that happen” referring to her stroming into the bar demanding her drink. “I like a strong women who takes charge” this made her cringe. The typical man who have these unrealistic expectations for women. She just laughed it off but secretly she was thinking you have no idea what I am like. A women who takes charge is a women who is to be feared.

They begun exchanging pleasantries. She told him that she grew up in bath and spent a life time trying to build a career in healthcare but this had not worked out the way she wanted it to. Leon told her how he was born in Chippenham and had a family who came from the law industry and that he had just successfully completed his first court case. The chemistry was undeniable but what people couldn’t see was the dark truth that led underneath each others eyes. It’s easy to tell people what they want to hear, but it’s the true personality that a person holds that leaves them vunerable. Mia admired him and could see this darkness and she knew she would benefit from him. He could be the person to help her in this time of need but was he prepeared for what the future held. That is a question we would only find out as time passed.
