It all started innocently enough. At the time, I was singing and playing piano in Smooth Soundz, a local jazz band. Brian was a regular and had been coming to Jasperās for about six months, but he only came on the nights that our band was playing. You see, Brian had been coming on to me since the first time he saw me at Jasperās. Despite the fact that I was married, he was convinced that someday, my resolve would crumble and I would give in to the attraction between us. The attraction that Brian thought I was obviously just denying.
Let me stop and introduce myself; my name is Callie. I recently celebrated my 34th birthday and my 10th wedding anniversary. I am 5ā9 with long, straight, light red hair, and almond shaped green eyes. If I had to pick something about myself that I liked the most, it would have to be my eyes and my legs. My husband says that my eyes are ācat-likeā and very sexy, and he has yet to complain about my long legs, especially when they are wrapped around his waist, pulling him deeper inside of me. Sorry, I got a little off track there for a minute. Okay, getting back to Brianā¦
I will not deny that when I first saw Brian I was instantly attracted to him. He was tall, well built with light brown hair, which he wore a little long, but still fashionable. What really got to me were his eyes. They were so brown that they were almost black and when he looked at me that first time, I felt that if I gazed into his eyes for too long, I would drown. Every time Brian came to the club he brought a single red rose, and at the end of the evening he would lay it on the stage at my feet, along with a card, which gave his phone number and address. The message was very clear. He was making the offer; all I had to do was give in. Little did I know, I was about to do just that.
It was Friday night and Smooth Soundz was scheduled to play three sets at Jasperās. My husband had promised that he would be there, but at the last minute he had to go on yet another business trip. Though this happened all of the time, I was beginning to get tired of him never being home and always missing my shows. Maybe it was that, maybe it was the full moon, or maybe it was the way that Brian looked when he walked into Jasperās that night, dressed all in black with that single red rose, who knows. All I know is that I started looking at Brian a little differently that evening. In between one of our sets, I did something that I have never done before. I went and sat at Brianās table and ordered a glass of wine. No words were said, we just sat there in a comfortable silence. Brian had a knowing smile on his lips and his eyes were dark with desire as he watched me sip my wine. I couldnāt take my eyes off of his hands. They looked strong yet graceful and you could tell that he didnāt push paper all day.
All too soon, it was time for our last set. When I stood up from the table, Brian stood also and pulled out my chair. His arm brushed against the bare skin of mine and a jolt of intense desire rushed through my body. As I looked up at Brian he smiled and took a strand of my hair and caressed it with his fingers for a moment and let it go. Without losing eye contact, I leaned over the table and picked of the rose he had brought and inhaled its sweet fragrance. I then went back up to the stage to finish the show, finding it very hard to concentrate. During our last song, I saw Brian get up and leave. To say the least, I was disappointed. I thought that he would stay and try and talk me into going home with him. After the song was over, I just sat at the piano, staring at the card attached to the rose. Slowly, I picked up the rose, got up from the piano, got my things together and hailed the first Taxi that I saw. Brian was going to get his wish and I was going to stop denying to myself the fact that I wanted this man.
I called Brian from my cell phone to let him know that I was coming over and I would be there in about twenty minutes. In my mind, I was still trying to tell myself that I didnāt have to do anything. I could just stop by and we would talk and listen to music, maybe have some wine and thatās that. What was I thinking? Talk about denial. The taxi pulled up to Brianās address and with butterflies raging in my stomach, I paid the driver and slowly walked to the front door. As I reached to knock, Brian opened the door and stepped back to let me in.
