Okay, maybe that’s not exactly true But I can’t help it if they see me, fuck me, and suddenly want to bear my children That’s not ood tiht Don’t call etting through the crowd to the bar, I order two drinks I take abodies melt into each other on the dance floor as the music vibrates all around

And then I see her, fifteen feet fro a bit uneasy a herd trying to get the bartender’s attention

I told you I’ht? The truth is, I wasn’t always Not until this eous Pick a word, any fucking word The bottoet how to breathe

Her hair is long and dark and shines even in the di a red backless dress--sexy but classy--that accentuates every perfectly toned curve Herto be ravished

And her eyes Sweet fucking Christ Her eyes are large and round and endlessly dark I i up at me as she takes e in question iht I have to have her

I quicklythen and there that she is the lucky woman who’ll have the pleasure of ht And what a pleasure I intend toher mouth to order a drink, I intervene with, "The lady will have…" I look her over to sur This is a talent of mine Soed wine, others are brandy or sweet chane And I can always tell who’s what--always "…a Veramonte Merlot, 2003"

She turns to me with a raised brow, and her eyes appraiseI’ood"

I smile "I see my reputation precedes me Yes, I aing pink in the cheeks and looks away Who blushes any oddamn adorable

"So, what do you say we find soet to know each other better?"

Withouta beat, she says, "I’ I don’t usually co?"

"I just got my MBA and start a new job on Monday"

"Really? What a coincidence I’uy myself Maybe you’ve heard of my firm? Evans, Reinhart and Fisher?" We’re the hottest boutique investment bank in the city, so I’ain, shall we?

But I didn’t notice at the ti out her tits They’re perfect, by the way So for, no more than a handful But as far as I’m concerned, a handful’s all you need

My point is, remember that look of surprise--that will make sense later on Now, back to the conversation

"We have so much in coood red…I think e it to ourselves to see where this could go tonight"

She laughs It’s ahere With any other woht, I’d be in a cab by noithher ely enough, it’s kind of a turn-on

"I’m Drew, by the way" I hold out ed"

Undeterred, I take her hand and kiss her knuckle, grazing it ever so slightly with ue I see my reluctant beauty try to suppress a shiver, and I know, despite her words, I’ to her

See, I’m not the type who really listens to what people say I look at how they say it You can learn a lot about someone if you just take the time to watch the way they move, the shift of their eyes, the rise and fall of their voice

Doe Eyes , Yes, yes, fuck me on the bar In the span of three minutes, she’s told , and allowed me to fondle her hand Those are not the actions of a woman who is not interested--those are the actions of a woman who does not want to be interested

And I can definitely ith that

I’; the diamond is so small that even on close inspection, it can’t be located But I don’t want to offend her She said she’s just graduated I have friends who had to put the

So I go for a different tactic--honesty "Even better You don’t do places like this? I don’t do relationships We’re a perfect fit We should explore this connection further, don’t you think?"
