"So you will be heading to the bar?" She inquired, raising her brow in question.

Stefan scratched the back of his head awkwardly before nodding.

Knowing how popular the lad is among women, she didn't want him to run into any of his flings.

"So...should I go?" Stefan inquired, noting her dazed expression.

"Hmm, but make sure you stay away from girls or you will be forbidden to enter my house," she threatened, allowing him to depart.
