Maybe it was the full moon. Who knows? All I knew is that she was the most sensational creature to ever walk into my life. Those big blue eyes unnerved me the minute they met mine. Her friends seemed to entertain quite an interest in myself and the others on that patio at the club we were at . Arizona was the state I think we were in. She seemed to show more interest in the music playing than any of us.
I could feel his eyes on me as he politely signed their cocktail napkins and neon colored bar flyers announcing the weekly specials. What was the big deal anyway? The curly haired blond was okay but why was I locked into a silent conversation with a man that held absolutely no interest to me? I was nothing special. Just a simple girl from the midwest with big hopes and dreams finding herself barely scraping by at a job she could barely tolerate. What could he possibly see in me? He was okay I guess but he was nothing special. Just another guy that could break my heart as easily as the last but then again he might be good for an evening's worth of play. Now that's something I'd never done in my life either. Long term relationships all the way and at twenty five that's pretty pathetic I think. He was relaying intimate details to me with just a look.
I finally got her attention. Not that she's gonna take any notice of me. Who am I to her anyway? She'd have been over here with the small flock of girls if she'd been a fan right? Maybe that was the intrigue behind it all. She wasn't into the "Oh My God I can't believe he touched me" scene as were the others. It was rather refreshing not to have a girl falling all over herself to get to me. I'm just a guy like any other in the world that happened to fall into the arms of fame before I knew what I could do.
I'm not the party hearty guy. I just want a nice evening alone with a beautiful woman every now and then because she wants to be with me not because she wants to be with the name. Good! They're finally done. I've always hated these radio contests where they have us do this, that or the other and tonight was just the same. She'd probably gotten in with her friends(although she didn't look like she belonged with any specific group of girls here).
"Oh my God Nikki! He is so gorgeous!"my friend Jessica squealed as she approached.
"Which one?" I inquired.
"Which one do you think?"Sarah smacked her shoulder.
I'd grown tired of the evening's events. They dragged me her because they thought I didn't get out enough. It's true though. I seem to date my computer more than men lately. I've had a few late night cybersessions but nothing like the feel of that flesh on flesh and fucking til dawn feeling you get with the real thing."The one with the dark brown hair and blue eyes,"I guessed.
Jeez! She's with that squealer. What do I do now?
Chris approached me."What's wrong?"
"I wanna meet that girl over there but her friend was the squealer."
"You do have trouble. I think I can stand the squealer long enough to get you and her out of here."
"Thanks Chris."
"No problem."
"Ladies,"Chris approached the trio.
Who was this bozo? I thought to myself. I just wanted to get away from all these phonies.
Jessica and Sarah turned to find who's hand was on the small of each of their backs.
"I noticed you ladies don't have drinks yet. Why don't you join me and we'll remedy this little problem for you."
"Sure,"Sarah agreed.
"What about you?"He inquired.
Annoyed, I lifted the drink settled on the soft pink cement wall that also served as a bench. I lifted myself onto it.
"Sorry. Shall we?"He looked toward Jessica and the stunned expression on her face said it all. He could have asked her to jump off the edge of the Grand Canyon and she'd have said yes. She fell into step with the others as he escorted the two toward the nearest bar which was inside nearly on the other side of the club. I turned to the drone of the passing traffic as the music drifted into the background.
Perfect. Now! While she's not looking. I settled myself next to her on the wall. She was so entranced by the passing traffic I don't think she even noticed there was anybody else around. I turned to find what so fascinating about the traffic. Nothing really other than it was more exciting than what was going on in the club."I don't know about you but I could do without this music,"I offered in hopes of gaining her attention.
She turned at my voice. Her eyes. Now that I was close enough I could see they were more of a blue gray than an ordinary blue in the moon's glimmer."Not that it matters but it's okay."
"So why weren't you over there with your friends earlier?"
"I didn't know there was a law that I had to."
"Well this is a party for fans. I just assumed that since you were here."
"Let's just say I don't get into all that little groupie stuff like my friends."
"Not even for your favorites?"
"No. I'm never gonna meet them so why bother with the false hope that I will someday?"
"You never know about these things."
"Is there some point to this conversation?"
"I just thought maybe we could go somewhere a little quieter and talk."
"That wouldn't be your hotel room now would it?"she suggested.
"Well it is about the only place we'll get any peace and quiet."
"I forget. You're the big star."
"Forget I said anything,"I said, shrugging my shoulders."I thought you were different from the rest,"I said jumping down from the wall.
"Hang on just a second,"I joined him down below leaving my drink on the wall."I didn't say I didn't want to go. You've been pulling the hot shot act since you leapt up there beside me. It wasn't necessary."
"Okay. So where would you like to go?"
"We can go wherever it's quietest but this is a hands off deal."
