Sometimes I'll go out alone, and sometimes with girlfriends. It was a Wednesday, I was alone at a local retro 80's bar. It was empty as usual during the week but all of the employees were my buddies and they'd comp my drinks a lot. It was dead there, So I spoke to them awhile and then went to check out BT, a country dance hall.
It was pretty chilly outside. I walked across the parking lot, paid an entry fee, grabbed a drink, and then went to the patio. I immediately clocked a very nice looking male backside, I quickly took him in from top to bottom. Responding to his clean cut, dark brown hair, broad shoulders, muscular tattooed arms, and nice ass in Jeans, standing beside a gas burning heater. I decided to graze his arm with mine as I strode up beside him, sort of shivering, and capturing his gaze before greeting him with my best smile. I said, what's up?
He smirked back, so I asked for a lighter and smoked with him. We held each other's attention easily, exchanging basic info and small talk with heavy eye contact and general flirtatious body language. I guessed that he was in his 30's. After about five minutes, I thought, wow this is going well, I'm so into him.
That's when this girl walked up to us. Not beautiful, but not ugly. Just resting bitch face. She looked at him. And then at me. And then looked at him again and said, "Come dance with me," and then walked off without waiting for his response. I was a bit buzzed and confused, I felt bad that I may have been talking to her date or something, he looked at me like he didn't want to go, but it was awkward, and I wasn't about to ask him who that girl was to him.
I told him to go dance with her. He said, Really?
As if seeking my permission or approval. I told him to go. And he says, "okay," sort of apprehensive, but I didn't know what to make of it. Then he walked off. I finished my cigarette, feeling sort of defeated, and a little bit embarrassed at what just happened, and I wondered why I had left 80. So I tossed back my drink and walked back over.
The following week, again on Wednesday, my best friend, Celia accompanied me to 80, where we did a little pregame before walking over to BT. I was glad I had a wing woman with me, although it would have seemed that I was her wingman. It wasn't long until a man approached her and she engaged him with conversation so that he would start buying her drinks. Fending for myself, I ordered a drink and went outside again to the patio and took a seat. It was warmer that evening, and I was wearing a strapless, blue skater dress, and black heels. Just hoping for trouble.
I lit up my cigarette and looked up, spotting a very nice male backside, directly in front of me. And then I recognized his voice. The same guy from the week before. I was excited to see him again, but I figured I should probably keep my distance, and so I just watched his back side for a moment before he turned around and recognized me immediately, sort of jumping, making an excited noise and rushing over to sit next to me. He spoke to me in a partially upset tone, confessing that he had searched for me the previous week after he was finished dancing, wondering why I had disappeared. I simply apologized, and gave him my excuse, which was that I left because I was bored. He explained that the previous woman that had commanded him to dance with her was just a friend of his named Bianca, who is 21, and apparently did not have very polished manners.
We enjoyed more thorough conversation, infatuatuated with one another, in that same spot on the patio until Celia approached us and I introduced him. We told him we were going back to 80, and I invited him to join me, since there was an obvious level of interest between us. He played it cool, giving me some non-commital answer about checking in with his friends.
