Alex opened the door to the bar, music and air conditioning washing over him as he stepped inside. It was early on a July Friday evening so the bar wasn't super crowded. It also didn't help that there was some sort of festival going on down the road, pulling even more people away. Not that he minded really. It had been a long week at work and he just wanted some drinks and someone else to cook for him for once. He made his way up to the bar, picking one of the many open seats. There were seven people when normally at this time there could be upwards of twenty. A group of four friends was down at the end, watching whatever sport was on the tv and arguing about the most recent play. A few seats down from his were two girls and a guy. The girls were attractive but he didn't pay them much attention. He wasn't here to flirt or pick anyone up.
Not that he couldn't if he wanted to. Usually his bright red hair was enough to cause them to swoon. If that didn't do it, he used either his bright blue eyes or chiseled 6'2" frame. No matter what, he had no problem picking up women. But he wasn't in the mood for it tonight. His new job was killer and he just wanted to unwind a bit.
The bartender came over and he quickly ordered a beer. One of the local ales that the area was known for. He was living here, might as well support the local small businesses. When the man left to get his drink Alex pulled out his phone, idly scrolling through the news of the day as he looked over the menu, trying to decide what burger he wanted. He thanked the man when his beer appeared in front of him and he reached out to take a sip. It wasn't bad. He might find a case in the market and bring it home to enjoy later.
He quickly ordered their southwest burger, craving bacon and barbeque sauce right now. That out of the way he went back to his phone. Not much was happening at the moment but he had nothing better to do so he kept scrolling.
