Several hours later, Maxwell was riding a huge high as he made his way back to the Night Out night club for a celebratory drink. His new strategy had paid off and he’d just landed the account he had failed to win the day before.

Michael was a ball of nerves as they approached to bar. Would Jessica be working again tonight? He desperately longed to see her again, but he knew if he did it would only cause him more pain. He couldn’t bear the thought of her being anything less that perfectly happy, and he could tell by the look on her face that she wasn’t. More than anything he wanted to talk to her, learn all her secrets, and find out exactly what made her look so hopeless and sad. Did he dare pretend to be human again in hopes of gaining a few moments of her time?

Michael’s mind was made up the moment they stepped in the bar and his eyes found Jessica. She was dressed in the same ensemble as before — a tight white tank and tiny black shorts that left little to the imagination. Her eyes held the same look of sadness that made Michael long to take her into his arms and comfort her.

The game playing on the large TV above the bar caught Maxwell’s attention and Michael knew Maxwell would stay, drinking and cheering on his favorite team till the final buzzer rang. Without a second thought, Michael rushed to the men’s room and gave himself the same face as yesterday. He sat at the same table, hoping her section hadn’t changed, and a smile lit up his face when she approached.

“Hey stranger, good to have you back,” she cooed, playing up the sex appeal. It was enticing and repulsive to Michael at the same time. “You want another beer?”

Michael nodded, too nervous to say anything else. He longed for a moment alone with her, but had no idea how to get it. She didn’t stay to chat, just sashayed off to the bar to retrieve his drink then set it down in front of him with a wink. What was that supposed to mean? He wondered, staring at her as she walked away. Her guardian, Falla, could barely take his eyes off Michael. He didn’t say a word, but it was obvious he wasn’t happy to see Michael here again.

Michael’s eyes followed her for another hour as she flitted from table to table, taking orders and bringing drinks, never letting her unhappiness crack her smile. When the occupancy began to dwindle, Michael overheard the manager telling Jessica she could take off early if she wanted to.

He quickly drained his glass, hoping she’d pay him one last visit. As she carried the tray of dirty glasses towards the kitchen, Michael caught her eye.

“You better buy more than one drink if you’re going to occupy my table all night,” she teased, balancing the tray on her hip so she could take his empty glass.
