It's my first week in town, having just moved. After a long week of unpacking and moving in, a little distraction is welcome. Before moving down, having made contact on the Internet before moving, as I would not be alone in this new place, I had been setup on a blind date. Not having had good luck with blind dates, or dates in general, I was hesitant, but my need to get to of the house won over all other reason.
He name was Wendy, she was 27 years old, red hair, green eyes, 5'6 with a medium build, or so I was told. Being skeptical buy nature, I decided not to get my hopes up.
The designated meeting place was at a local hotel, at the bar. I walked in and scanned the area, not seeing her, so I went up and to a seat at the bar that offered a good view of the door. 10 minutes passed, so I ordered a drink, then 15, and at close to 30 minutes I was ready to leave, and was about to stand, when someone called my name. I turned, and any negative emotions I had about being almost stood up vanished with out a trace. She was gorgeous. Somehow I managed to reply and smile.
"I'm so sorry' she said 'I was running late, I get here as soon as I could. Let me buy you a drink."
I was amazed, and glad that I had not left any earlier. Pleasant conversation followed, she was easy to talk to, and we were fast friends. We had much in common, and enjoyed each other's humor. As the night wore on, things became a bit friendlier, slowly moving closer to each other, casually touching. There was a small dance floor near, and a slow and romantic song was playing, so I worked up the courage to ask her for a dance.
Immediately we closed the distance between our bodies. I had one hand around her waist, the other gently holding a soft hand. Conversation was minimal, we were just enjoying each other's company. All to soon the dance ended, and we made our way back to the bar, hand in hand.
Back at the bar, she confessed to me that she was very unsure about going thru with this blind date, and she almost didn't come, which is why she was late. I told her that having met her, I was happier with her choice to come than she would know, that it had been a long time since I enjoyed such a wonderful evening with a beautiful woman. She smiled and greed with me, then placed her hand gently on my cheek. I smiled and closed my eyes, telling her how wonderful her touch felt.
I opened my eyes, and looked into hers, she was biting her lip, and I smiled, she giggled and asked me what, and I told her how adorable that was. I decided to take another risk, and asked her if she would like to go somewhere quite, and much to my pleasure she said yes.
I asked her to suggest a place, as she knew the city better than me, and she smiled mischievously and said 'my place.' Never one to disagree, I followed her out, and walked her to her car. Her place was close, and it didn't take long to get there. I followed her thru the gate, parked, and eagerly found her.
