As she waited for her drink, the rest kept ordering beers while they laughed and recalled the moments they were in american. Lexie then stood up and started imitating one of the crazed fans she remembered, causing the rest to laugh though in a good manner, finding it adorable. When she heard the question she quickly leaned forward on the counter as she raised her hand up in the air. “Heeeere!“ she smiled wide, eyes quickly going to the barista before she lowered her hand, jaw dropping slightly as she saw someone she knew behind the counter.
Bucky didn’t really focus on anyone, the place was too chaotic with everyone and the music was loud. Just as the customer replied back, he looked to his left a little surprised to see the familiar face within the crowd, before he gives a small smile, bringing the drink over. "Well, look who we have here.” he then smiled as he placed the drink before the lady.
“Alright guys, now to order what you all like. This is going in the manager’s tab so feel free to order as many as you want!“ she whispered loudly, half joking as the rest of the guys burst out in laughter, sipping on their beers. Then she sat down, making small conversation with the usual bartender, confidence conveyed in her eyes, though she barely gave the poor guy a chance to say anything to his advantage before she patted the counter. ”Barista! Get me the strongest drink you can make! Oh, and please~“ she grinned, not exactly who was behind the counter but slapping the bartender’s arm. ”Yah! Stop talking during your shift and attend your customers!“ she scolded him and went back to talking with her band members about the future gig.
He then began to realize why he was working in this place. He shook his head as he continued to make the row of shots before he heard a loud order from the counter as he shouted back, "Coming right up.” Bucky began to make his signature drink, The Ruby Red. He put all the ingredients properly, the amount of liquor and shots were measured properly. He then put the mix into the shaker and gives it a good shake, with a few tricks up his sleeves. Afterwards, he poured the mix into the glass. “Who ordered the strongest drink I can make?” He raised his hand, trying to find the customer within the crowd.
Lexie quickly bat her eyelashes at the bartender when he approached, playful smile dancing on her lips when he attempted to lean in and kiss her, causing her to lean back. “Not today mister~! We are here to celebrate for a great cause.” she explained, almost too seriously, continuing her speech. “Today….we have been informed that our band, Recoil, will be playing at a music festival, in a few weeks!“ she said outloud, clapping with enthusiasm as the rest of the members "woo’ed”. “So bartended-kun, don’t we at least deserve a free first round~?” she made puppy eyes at him that the man couldn’t resist, serving them the usual as he too joined in a bit of the celebration.
Just as Bucky has done serving one of his customers, his colleague came over to him along with a slap to the butt – just teasingly of course and whispered into his ear. “Hey Buck, help me serve the crowd? I need extra hands and I only trust you in this place.” Bucky didn’t like serving big crowds, he’s mostly alone with the solo type. He shot a small glare to his friend and rolled his eyes when the male starts making small begging faces. “Alright alright. I’ll do it but only for you. I better get something in the end.” Bucky exclaimed before he head back behind the counter.
But I did reply—?…
He pressed his lips together and gives a small pout. “You did?”
Bucky lift his gaze away from the ground and fixed it at the lady. “O-oh, no I was just waiting for you to reply since I don’t know ten days ago?” He shrugged with a teasing smile. “I’m kidding. How could I forget you?”
