The IPA Beer That Led To A Kiss

This post was influenced by an Indian pale ale beer.

The night ended with a kiss.

The way it started was a tad bit different. We had an argument and it was actually one that I didn’t win. We being my girlfriend and I. She told me to leave and I wanted to go so, I obliged.

I acted as if I wanted to stay but I already knew it was half priced drinks at the bar so my destination was set before I walked out of the door. While I was driving , some Nicki Minaj song came on and I was so tired of hearing that song mainly because it was one of my girlfriend favorites and she kept it on repeat.

I got to the bar and it was oddly empty for a half off night. I would have left but I’m cheap. The only other guest at the bar was leaving out as I was walking in. It was just myself and the bartender.

“What are you having?” she asked

I replied “what IPA do you have on draft?” because I’m cheap but not cheap enough to drink beer that isn’t fancy.

She said oh you’re one of those .

I had no idea what that meant but I just agreed so she could leave me alone.

She handed me my beer, she said it’s 8% abv .

I took a sip and it was pretty nasty but I’m a beer expert so I just keep my cool.

It was pretty quite in there. I was looking at the internet on my phone and she was obviously fussing with someone on her’s. When she was done she asked me if I was good. I asked her the same thing.

She said “Men”

I laughed and said “women”..

I asked her name and she said Nicki, we talked for a few more minutes and the more we talked the more beautiful her words became. Either that or it was the beer that I was drinking .

Her phone rang, and she walked off to answer it and you can tell by her face that she was getting mad at whatever was being said to her.

Another bar tender came in and Nicki was about to get off . The new bartender put on some music from the juke box and the first song that came on was the Nicki Minaj song that annoyed me so much. I started singing the song and as I looked up Nicki was singing the song too. We laughed .

She said I’m about to get off, can I sit and have a drink with you.

I said sure.

As she sat down my arm hit my glass and my drink fell over , we laughed and ordered some shots along with a beer flight.

We sat there for maybe an hour. She looked at her phone and said sorry but I have to leave .

She looked at me and gave me the most beautiful kiss as she got up from the seat. When she was leaving I was about to crack a joke abut her forgetting to pay her part of the bill. I looked up, smiling as I extended my hand with the check , I said Nikki and when she turned around it was my woman asking ME who the fuck is Nikki and why am I fully dressed sleeping on the sofa with a spilled can of beer on her rug.

The night ended with a kiss in my dream but with me being slapped sober in reality . Drink responsibly people.
