My Favorite Thing To Do

Danielle was traveling alone in York, England, looking for interesting people to meet on a balmy summer night. She had gone into a very loud, crowded club, but felt out of place being the only girl without breasts spilling out of her shirt. She ended up leaving that place and asked the bouncer for a better, quieter place. She walked to the other pub and led herself off the drunken streets of late night York into the yellow and red bar. It was really nice inside, but she could tell right away that it was better to be in places like these with friends. The only person she ended up talking to was the bar tender, but he seemed pretty nice. So when he invited her back later, after the bar closes, she agreed. When she came back, she noticed many of his friends were there so she was happy to meet them. She ended up talking to one of the bar tenders friends, Charlie. He was very nice and was easy to talk to. Although, she could tell the bar tender was interested in her as well, she continued to chat with Charlie in hopes of making a real friend, instead of making meaningless small talk. He was really keen on the idea of leading her around York the next day because he knows the area so well, so she agreed.

The next day, both Danielle and Charlie met up in the city square, although Danielle was a little late. Charlie didn’t seem to mind at all, much to Danielle’s surprise and they continued to walk around the city, only stopping to meet Charlie’s friends. Almost all of them were in bands, and Danielle was curious why this was. She eventually found out Charlie is in a band himself, but she decided he didn’t seem like the type. They ended up going on a quite a pub crawl. Charlie was interested in getting to know Danielle. Danielle was interested more in the sights, sounds, and smells of York through the eyes of a native. Far into the evening, Danielle decided Charlie was gentlemanly enough to walk her home. They had a nice chat on the way and he invited her back to York anytime. Although he tried to kiss her, Danielle simply hugged him goodbye and left with nothing but a smile and a wave.
