The first time I saw her, she was perched on a barstool on the tiniest little ass I have ever seen. She looks twelve or thirteen, but I found out later that she is a college sophomore, and nineteen. My buddy spotted her first,
"Mike! See that one at the bar?"
"Yeah?"
"Spinner!"
I chuckled immediately as I took another swig off my Dos Equis. Although I had never really heard that expression before, I knew exactly what he meant. He means that she is so tiny that in a cowgirl position and tucking in her knees, you could just spin her around impaled on your cock... a spinner! Crude remark perhaps, but just stuff between guys and not meant to be shared in any other company or context.
The problem is that she looks sweet, and as far as I can tell she is alone, nursing a lite beer that appears to be her first and only. I'm thinking that she just stopped in for a quick beer on a hot and humid day. Her short shorts ... white ones... define a perfect little ass. A pink halter-top and pristine white tennies completes the vision. I am guessing that she tops out at somewhere just under five feet and about a hundred ... mmm, maybe ninety-five pounds!
She has perfectly shaped brown hair down just past shoulder-length. A pink ribbon pulls her hair away from her face ... I actually kinda like that look ... school-girlish! From what I can see of her face from my angle, she is cute! No, make that
very
cute!
I need to know her!
"I'll let you know when I find out, Jake!"
I say to my friend in answer to his crude observation. I slide off my stool and away from our table; sidle up next to her stool and say,
"Buy you another, doll?"
She looks me up and down with a very obvious appraisal, smiles and says,
"Mmm, no thanks honey. You're cute n'all, but I just stopped in for a quick one."
"Well, how about something else? A burger? A car? A house?"
She giggles musically (which, by the way quickens my heartrate) and asks,
"Are you hitting on me?"
Always being an honest and straightforward guy I answer with a confident smile,
"Um, yup!" I sweeten the smile as much as I can and continue, "Thing is, I think you are kind of cute and quite frankly, would just be interested in getting to know you."
"That's very flattering handsome, but not today. I appreciate the effort though!"
I hear Jake chuckling. She notices too, and says,
"Friend of yours?"
"Yes, that is my imbecile friend, Jake. I'm Mike, by the way."
"Well Mike, it was very nice to meet you, but I have to get going. Bye!"
Usually that 'bye' would have been a knife in the back of any nascent relationship, but I decide to take matters into my own hands. In the time it takes her to get her purse out and pay her tab, and get to the front door, I am already waiting for her outside. The sidewalk was busy, but as soon as she appears outside the place I drop to one knee, with my arms outstretched. I have a lyrical baritone singing voice and as a last ditch effort, I decide to serenade her right there. I sang,
"I'd walk a million miles for one of your smiles, girl-from-the-Fifth-Street-pu-u-uu-ub!"
She covers her mouth with both hands; to stifle a giggle and her surprise, as a crowd around the entrance applauds my effort ... I even get a couple of whistles! Smiling, she says,
"Okay, okay! Um, I
do
have
some
time, so how about a nice iced chai tea at Starbucks around the corner? Your treat, of course!"
She extends her hand to help me to my feet,
"Gillian! But, everyone calls me 'Gilly' and I kind of um, like it. Does anyone ever call you Michael?"
"Nope. Mostly Mike since I was about uh, a minute and a half old."
She laughs and says, "I want to call you Michael! Is that alright?"
"Find by me, and actually I like the way it sounds when you say it!"
She smiles and takes my arm. As we walk away, I see Jake watching this from the other side of the door, inside the club. He is slowly shaking his huge bearded head and saying something that I cannot hear...
...but I know what he is saying. He is muttering to himself,
"How'n the fuck does he
do
that shit?"
I wave goodbye to him smiling at my triumph. Pretending she didn't notice, Gilly says,
"Wave goodbye to Jake for me too, Michael!"
"I did. You're covered, baby!"
We just chit-chat on the way to the coffeehouse: where are you going to school, what's your major, the usual pre-first-date-getting-to-know-each-other bullshit! I ask her,
"Why lite beer, Gilly? I'll have to take you out sometime and buy you a good beer ... one you can actually
taste
."
"Um, thanks Michael, but let's just get past a chai tea at Starbucks first, before we start naming our children."
Great sense of humor!
