"Hey Mike!"
"Hi!"
"Did you know that the guy up front uses you as a selling point?"
"How so? He's not promising magic tricks, is he?"
"Nope. When I said I wanted to eat at the bar because I'd rather watch sports than awkwardly watch other people, he said there was also eye candy at the bar and he mentioned your name!"
Mike smiled and blushed. Then he asked "Your usual?"
"Yes, please."
Mike went to get some cranberry juice while Danielle took a seat and looked at the menu. She quickly made her choice and when Mike arrived with her juice, he took her meal order. Danielle had been coming to this same Red Lobster every 6 to 8 weeks for years and when by herself, often ate at the bar instead of taking a table. When tables in the bar area were available, she'd eat there and watch sports on the big screen tvs. Over the years, she'd gotten to know the two main bar tenders, Mike and Derek. Both were always friendly and she always tipped them well.
Danielle ate her meal and when she was done, Mike offered her another juice. Danielle declined and Mike prepared the check while she went to the washroom. When she came out, she handed him her credit card and they talked about the hockey game about to start. Danielle told Mike that she'd drive home and catch the end of the game as she was done her shopping for the day. Danielle came to the city to shop and almost always ate either lunch or an early dinner at Red Lobster, her favourite restaurant.
As she left, she called out "Say hi to Derek!"
Mike replied "Will do. Drive safe!"
Outside, Danielle made her way to her vehicle and as she approached, she saw this man coming towards the restaurant. Somehow, he looked familiar. All of a sudden, she realized who he was.
"Carl? Carl Zimmerman?"
Carl stopped walking and said "Yes?"
Danielle stopped just in front of him and said "That is you! What are you doing in Calgary? My God, a guy who bleeds ACE red in the land of Westjet! What a surprise!"
"I'm sorry, do we know each other?"
Danielle was both disappointed and pleased that Carl hadn't recognized her. "You don't know who I am?"
"I'm really sorry, I don't recall your face."
At that moment, a mischievous thought popped into Danielle's mind. "Maybe this will help you remember" she said as she reached up, took his face in her hands and started kissing him. At first, it was simply a meeting of the lips. Then, she opened up her lips and her tongue teased his lips open and they shared a heated French kiss. She broke the kiss and looked at him. Her hands dropped to her sides and she asked "Did that help?"
Carl reached for her hair and said "I'm not sure yet." And he pulled her to him in another searing kiss that lasted much longer than the first. Danielle put her arms around his waist and pressed her hands against his back. Carl played in her hair while kissing her, driving her mad with desire.
When they broke their kiss, Carl left his hand in her hair and said "You'd think I could remember this soft hair and soft lips but I'm really sorry, I don't. We've done this before?"
Danielle couldn't continue the charade and said "We've done this a thousand times in my dreams but this is the first real time. Sorry to deceive you, I just couldn't pass up the opportunity."
"But I'm still supposed to know you?"
"Yes. And I'm sorry about kissing you. I know you're married. I just couldn't resist."
"Well, I'm not married anymore and I'm not sorry about the kiss, this was nice. I haven't kissed that way in a long time. Part of me is thinking I should just forgo lunch and just take you to my room here, no matter who you are." Carl used his other hand to pull her against his hardness. "I haven't had a hard on like that in months and months."
"Mmmmmm, I like what I feel. Hooded or not?"
"No hood. Does it matter?" Carl was grinding his hard on against her lower abdomen and kissed her again. Danielle responded and when they broke the kiss, she replied "No, it doesn't really matter although I do prefer hoodless ones. I am just trying to get a mental image of what to expect. Where's this room of yours?"
Carl pointed to the Travelodge behind him and said "Lady, I don't know who you are but for the longest time, I thought my ex-wife had succeeded in emasculating me and now you're proving me wrong. Say you'll continue with this proof." And he kissed her once more, deeply, passionately.
When they broke the kiss, Danielle said "Let's go up to your room before someone calls the cops on us for indecent exposure."
