It was around midnight when Tina eventually got to the Oasis bar but this didn't concern her at all as she only had reason for being there, she was hunting. One aim, one goal, to locate and lure into her trap one of these arrogant young men. A man who believes that he can every woman he wants, one who believes that he is so irresistible and who is always in control of whatever situation may arise. The Oasis bar was precisely the kind of place to find men like that, the Oasis bar is one step away from being a cattle market, and it is the perfect place for a woman like Tina to hunt.
She walked casually to the bar, perched on one of the stools and ordered herself a drink. She displayed all the characteristics of confidence and had no problems with a young single woman in a bar on her own. She knew exactly what she was doing there, as this was certainly not the first time she had been hunting in this bar, although it had been a while. She had discovered the new nightclub in town and it had provided her with a wealth of new prey over the past few months. She was, however, beginning to tire of the music there, the repetitive drumbeats with virtually no melody, and had made the decision to return to her earlier haunt. She had to find a way to intensify her fire, which had been fading gradually as she was learning that attractive men were definitely harder to find these days. She could always rely on the oasis bar to be fruitful; it had a much better clientele, men with careers and homes of their own.
Tonight was a good night to hunt as Tina soon discovered, there was a large selection of good looking men there and all she had to do was choose which one she wanted, it was the choosing that was the difficult bit. She allowed her eyes to rove freely around the room, pausing for just a moment on the few specimens that she found interesting before continuing to peruse those who remained. She had spotted a few who could possibly be suitable so she took a sip of her drink a lit a cigarette, without looking around mulled over her options, finished her drink and cigarette then caught the attention of the bar tender who promptly refilled her glass.
Tina turned around carefully on her stool and glanced around the room again, a second look at her choices revealed a new possibility, a late entry and a good one too. How on Earth had she missed him before, this almost perfect example of all her preferences in a man? He was tall at around six foot and 3 inches and proportionally built, not gangly as seems to common in tall men, he had deep brown eyes and dark hair closely cropped, he was dressed in smart dark blue jeans and a tight T-shirt that showed off his nicely toned body. He glanced up and she caught his eye instantly, they smiled then she turned around and took a long sip of her drink, before she had reached the bottom of the glass she heard a voice behind her ask 'Can I get you another one of those?'
Tina immediately swung round and upon seeing him close up she was almost overwhelmed, almost but not quite. 'Yes, thank you,' she replied, 'that's very kind of you.'
'My name's Luke,' he said after he had received their drinks and paid the bartender.
'I'm Tina.' She told him.
They sat at the bar and chatted for a while covering all the usual getting-to-know-you subjects, things like jobs, homes, hobbies and recent holidays. The evening progressed well and after a few drinks and a little dancing it was soon closing time.
'I've had a really good time tonight,' Luke said, 'I don't suppose you'd like to come back to my place for a drink.'
'Well, actually I would love to carry on this evening but I'd feel a little more comfortable if we went to mine instead, would that be alright?'
'Sure, that would be just fine.'
Tina was relieved to hear that, so far everything was working out and Luke was exactly the kind of man she was looking for. He was so sure of himself, the whole "buy a girl a few drinks and take her home" attitude was something he had not been discreet about, he really thought that he was in control and this was his plan working out.
