Free Finding My Prince Charming by J. S. Cooper

head.
    “Nothing. I’m going to the bar to get a drink. Do you want anything?”
    “No.” She shook her head. “I’m good.”
    “Okay.” I walked away and wondered how long Anna was going to keep up her new no-drinking policy. I made my way to the bar and looked up at the list of beers and lagers they had available.
    “What’s your poison?” a voice whispered in my ear, and I felt a warm hand on my back. I jumped and turned quickly to see who was being so familiar with me.
    “Oh, hi, Sebastian.” I blushed as I looked into his handsome face. It really was unfair how beautiful he was, with his clear luminescent eyes and long lashes.
    “I saw you come over for a drink. I figured I would come as well.”
    “Oh, okay. That’s good.”
    “I’m boring you, aren’t I?” He laughed heartily, and I wondered if he had issues since I had no idea what was so funny.
    “Not really.” I smiled and turned back to look at the drink menu.
    “Let me buy you a drink.”
    “Oh, no, that’s okay.” I shook my head.
    “But come on. I want to. What would you like?”
    “I think I’ll have a Guinness.”
    He looked at me in surprise. “Really?”
    “Yeah, really.”
    “I didn’t know girls liked Guinness. I thought you all preferred the fruity drinks.”
    “The fruity drinks? Really?” I smiled at him, hiding my annoyance well. What was with these guys in Europe?
    “You know, Sex on the Beach, Cosmopolitans, Long Island Teas or whatever they’re called.”
    “I think that I’m going to ignore that you said that.” I laughed.
    “I put my foot in my mouth, didn’t I?” He looked mad at himself. “I know that I have the propensity to be an ass because my brother is the king of jackasses.” And then he smiled to himself.
    “Oh?”
    “Well, he’s a prince, but yes, he’s a jackass.”
    “He’s a prince of jackasses or he’s a prince?” I asked, confused.
    “Well, he—”
    “Lola, there you are.” Anna came running up to me. “Jason just asked me out on a date. Oh, my God, can you believe it? I have a date already. A real date!”
    “Anna, I’m talking.” I was astounded by how rude she was being tonight.
    “I’m sorry.” She looked at Sebastian and smiled at me. “He’s cute.”
    “Anna!”
    “Sorry, but I didn’t want you to miss out.” She made a face. “Not after that ass from last night.”
    “Anna, I think we should leave now.” I grabbed her arm and squeezed hard.
    “No. We just got here.”
    “You’re acting crazy,” I hissed.
    “But I need to get to know Jason better.”
    “I thought he already asked you out on a date?”
    “Well, not really. He asked me if I wanted to go and smoke pot with him.” She paused and made a face. “Okay, maybe he really asked me if I had any pot to smoke with him.”
    “Oh God, that is not a date.”
    “I know,” she whined.
    Sebastian interrupted us. “I know where to get some if you need some.”
    I froze in embarrassment. I had completely forgotten he was there.
    “Oh, no. We don’t smoke.” I turned back to him and gave him a small smile. “We’ve both got enough problems without adding drugs to the mix.”
    “Weed is not drugs,” Anna stated, but I decided to ignore her. I was pretty sure she was only saying that because she had a crush on a guy who wanted to go and get high with her. Sometimes she became a real idiot when she had a crush on a guy.
    “Is my Guinness almost here?” I smiled at Sebastian, and he grinned back at me in delight. I felt my stomach flip at the eagerness in his eyes. I hoped I wasn’t giving him the wrong impression. I mean, he was definitely cute, but I was still feeling pretty horrible about my encounter with Xavier, King of Assholes.
    “What’s so funny?” Sebastian’s eyes twinkled at me and then he gave Anna a wide smile. “Would you like something to drink?”
    “I’ll have a White Russian, please.” She smiled back at him and I gave her a look. “Hey, when in Rome.” She
