It was a humid July afternoon, and I had to dump yet another boyfriend earlier. It was over the same reason as usual. Let's just say that I'm a grown ass woman with a large sexual appetite. If my man can't keep up with me, I feel that he's not for me at all.
Once I was home from dumping my boyfriend, it was only 2:00 PM. Ugh... if only I could drink right now. But I know I shouldn't. Its too early for that. I put on a bikini and went out to my balcony to try and get a tan. I got comfortable on my favorite lounge chair and closed my eyes. That's when my cell phone rang. "That better not be my ex..." I thought to myself. I was glad to be wrong. It was my best friend, Nichole.
"Hello?" I answered.
"Hey Ashlynn!" She chirped. "I heard about you and Sean... you alright?"
I rolled my eyes and put on a fake smile. News always spreads like wild fire here... "Yeah. I'm alright" I said blankly.
"Come on Ash..." Nichole teased. "I'm your best friend, and I call bullshit on that one."
I let out a sigh. Nichole sometimes knows me better than I know myself. "I had to let him go... I just can't be with someone who can't keep up with me in bed." I bluntly explained.
"This is the fourth one in a row you said that about." She pointed out. "I think you must be trying to fill some kind of void, here."
That's when I paused. A void? "Nichole, what in the hell are you talking about?" I asked defensively.
"It was just a guess..." She sighed. "Maybe you just need a girls night? How about we go to a club tonight? You shouldn't be cooped up in the house after a break up."
"Ok. Sounds good, I guess" I cooperated. We hung up and I got back to my tanning. I still want to know why the hell she thinks that I'm trying get to fill a void. I mean seriously... I'm a good looking veterinarian with my own shop, I have a nice house in a good neighborhood, a nice car, food always in my fridge, and I have only myself to thank for all this. I just can't find the right guy who can satisfy me in the bedroom. So where is this so called void?
9:00 PM rolled around and Nichole pulled up in front of my house. She honked her horn, and I was still putting on my heels. I grabbed my purse, locked the door, then got in the car. I guess I can try and have a good time tonight. "Well its about damn time you came out here, haha!" Nichole teased as she applied lipstick in her mirror.
"Nic, stop it." I said jokingly. "Also, which club are we going to? You never told me."
"Oh, you will see." Nichole said with a big smile.
"You know I don't like surprises..." I started to say. Nichole just kept smiling with her shitty grin on her face. This may be a long night...
I didn't recognize the town we were in very well. I wasn't sure what Nichole was up to, but it was obviously no good. We were at least an hour and a half away from my house. "This is that new club that was built last year." Nichole explained. "I thought we could check it out. Plus there's different guys here."
"If you sat so, Nic..." I hesitated. As we walk in the door, I don't see anyone who caught my eye in particular... I swear almost all men are the same. Then we get to the bar, and everything changed.
I found the sexiest man in the room... and he was the bar tender. I was completely hypnotized... he had olive colored skin, perfect dark hair, beautiful brown eyes, just the right amount of facial hair, arm muscles, and no wedding ring in sight... Exactly how I love my men.
Suddenly he looks at ME and asks "What can I get for you, beautiful?"
I wanted a strawberry margarita on the rocks, but the words just wouldn't come out right away. What the hell is wrong with me? "I'll have a margarita." I choked out. Dammit. I forgot to say add the strawberry part.
"Sounds good." He says while smirking at me. Shit... he probably noticed my face turning red.
I must have forgotten that Nichole was there with me because it almost spooked me when she said "Hey Ash, I'll be over there with those guys!" So much for a girls night...
The bartender came back with my margarita. "So I've never seen you come by here before... what's your name?" He asks with confidence.
"I'm Ashlynn." I shyly said after taking a sip of my drink.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Ashlynn." He said. "My name is Rex." Suddenly Rex took my hand.
"May I?" He asked. I blushed and nodded. Rex kissed my hand... What a gentlemen! I couldn't believe that this was happening!
I giggled. "So Rex... do you do this with all of your female customers?" I jokingly asked. I'm almost positive that he does.
He smiled and shook his head. "Only if they are as breathtakingly gorgeous as you are... so in other words,I don't."
