I'm a truck driver who is stuck in Las Vegas waiting to be unloaded. I hauled a load of Tvs for the newest hotel being built and they are unloading them as they need them. So I'm here for a few days.
I was gambling at the MGM Grand hotel and saw they were having a contest to win a dinner date and VIP backstage pass for Jennifer Lopez's concert tour starting that Saturday night. I had always had a thing for her so I entered and pretty much forgot about it as I never win any contest that I enter.
I was playing cards and doing ok when my phone buzzed in my pocket, and it was a Las Vegas number. As I was out of the hand I got up and answered the call. "Hello." I said expecting it to be someone from the hotel where my truck was.
"Is this Kevin?" a woman on the other end asked.
I replied "Yes it is."
She responded "This is Lisa, with MGM Grand, you are the grand prize winner of our dinner and VIP backstage contest." I couldn't believe my luck. She proceeded to tell me what I needed to do to claim my prize.
First thing next morning I was at the MGM Grand collecting my prize. It was an 8 o'clock dinner date that night in their finest restaurant and a VIP backstage pass for J Lo's first concert of her new tour the next night.
I arrived at the restaurant at 730 not wanting to be late figuring she would be in a hurry to get this over with. As I told the hostess why I was there she took me back to a secluded dark corner of the restaurant in a section that was closed. Thinking I had plenty of time before she arrived I ordered a beer as I wasn't sure if I should drink once she got there. I had just gotten my beer and she walked in looking absolutely amazing.
She was accompanied by her manager and a hotel representative. I immediately got up and pulled her seat out as she approached "Well thank you." as she extended her hand.
Shaking it I introduced myself "Hello I'm Kevin."
As she sat down she smiled "Hello Kevin, nice to meet you." As her manager and hotel rep started to sit down she stopped them. "I'm sure you both have something better to do than chaperone a dinner date between us, we will be fine, go do something else. I will get in touch when I need you." They gave her a funny look but left.
"I'm surprised that a man your age is here by yourself after winning this contest. It's usually a teeny bopper and one of her friends."
I laughed "Well I'm a truck driver who's stuck in Vegas a few days and entered not expecting to win, but I've always liked you and filled it out anyway."
Laughing she replied. "Well congratulations."
"Thanks." I said laughing slightly.
"I'm glad it's someone closer to my age for once." she said. "I see you have ordered a beer so that means I can have a drink."
The waitress came back. "Can I get you something to drink Ms Lopez?"
"I'll have a Cosmo, Please." Jennifer replied.
As the night went on we made small talk and enjoyed a very nice evening. As the evening was winding down she looked at me and asked. "Did they tell you about the backstage pass?"
"Yes, told me I got dinner tonight and a backstage pass tomorrow night."
"That's all?" she asked.
