Fundraisers can be incredibly drab. This one would be no different except it was slightly "fancier" in terms of attire. I love dressing up, in any fashion, for the pageantry of it.
I was wearing a black floor length sequin dress with a deep slit up the right leg. It wasn't cut real low, but enough to display some cleavage. It was itchy as hell but I still loved it because I looked amazing wearing it. I had my black open toed strappy heels with apple red polish. I have cute feet so I like to show them off with a nice dress. Of course, red lipstick to match for some pop. With my blonde hair flowing down my back and this dress, I felt amazing. I looked stellar, and I knew it.
I was making my way through the ballroom where people are mingling and I see him across the room. Sexy Stu.
We've only met twice before tonight. The first, just introductions at an event for an artist reception. The second was by chance, a low key night at a pub with mutual friends. It was a comfortable vibe with lots of getting to know you chit chat and drinks. He had a wonderful sense of humor and I knew he was into me that night because he had referred to me as "hot" in passing couple times in conversation.
There we were again at an event. Stu with his ice blue eyes, looked amazingly hot with facial hair as most men do. Tonight he was looking most delectable in his black suit, sporting a sky blue tie complimenting his eyes.
I make my way to the bar for a drink and linger there nodding hello to random people passing by, smiling. I see him spot me, his mouth opens slightly in awe of seeing me.
I assume he excused himself from his little group chat and starts making his way through the room towards the bar. He orders a drink, while waiting, looks over at me and pretends to just now notice I'm there. I think it's cute how he tries to play it off.
We stand at the end of the bar chatting about the event, the turn out, complimenting how great everyone looks all dressed up. We order another drink and a mutual acquaintance walks up to visit. After a few minutes I excuse myself, but before I walk away I embrace his arm just above the elbow so he'll turn to look at me. I meet his eyes and smirk. Before I exit the room, I look back at him again as he watches me leave.
