Of course when backed into a corner, this man had reacted in a rather heated way. Daniel watched as he suddenly grabbed the woman they were both vying for by her hip and pull him into his side. It made Daniel’s calm and slightly arrogant demeanor break as his eyes widened in surprise. He wasn’t sure what to make of this new situation until she finally spoke up against the other man for the first time. Now knowing where she stood with this other man made Daniel tense up at his next words. [i]This guy’s revolting. [/i]he thought clenching his jaw slightly. “Hey man lea—“ he began with a stern tone, taking a small step forward to intervene when the woman suddenly threw her drink onto the man holding her. 

Daniel blinked, caught off guard, and quickly took a step back to avoid the additional splash as the liquor hit the other man’s face. Now standing back, he watched the exchange between the two with a hint of interest. It seemed that not only did the box of a man lack brain power but he was terribly full of himself. Apparently even enough to expect that he was entitled to something from just buying a measly drink. Daniel wasn’t the most upstanding gentleman—though that was more due to his pickiness in partners—but even he looked down on such scumbags.  He watched as the man struggled at her words, unable to give her name before finally giving up. As he shot one last glower at him, Daniel smirked at him tauntingly in response. 

As the silent victor of the petty competition over a woman at the bar, Daniel moved to take up the now open spot next to her, albeit leaving a little more room between them than the previous man had. Though he had just been attracted over by her looks, he had to admit that she had spark his interest even further by how she had chosen to handle the last guy’s unwanted advances. It wasn’t every day he got the satisfaction of seeing a well deserving asshole getting a drink splashed in his face after all. Daniel even took a little pride in knowing he had caused for that to happen sooner rather than later. 

“Hardly. I'll just take whatever amount of time you're willing to give me.” Daniel chuckled. He paused glancing towards the bartender before looking back to her with a grin, flashing his pearly whites in the process. “Although I’ll buy you a refill on that drink if you’d like. You know, just in case you need to throw it at me or someone else.” He added jokingly. It might have been a while since he had last had the chance to mingle with women at the bar but he wasn’t one to forget just how to act. Whether it was just for a short time, the night or even longer, Daniel had the intention to win her over.

Setting his drink down on the counter, his smile softened slightly as he met her gaze. “I’m Daniel by the way. May I ask who you are?”
