She saw him across the room. He was dressed normally, in a gray T-shirt and black jeans. She was attracted to him because he was alone. All the other guys in the bar were trying to get some girl or another's attention. But he was sitting in a corner, nursing on a Budweiser. She kept trying to pull her eyes away from him, and back to her date, but it was no use. Finally, she turned to Garret, her date, and asked him if he would mind if she called it a night. They had no chemistry, and it was a blind date after all. He understood, and quickly got his coat and headed toward the door.
She gathered her purse and coat, slung them both over one arm, and headed to where he was sitting. She stopped a few tables away, sat down, and waited to see if he would approach her. He noticed her right away. How could he not? She was a stunning blond, short, curvy, and in a bright blue outfit that hugged her body tightly. He decided that he was going to make a move toward her and see if she reacted.
She heard him get up from his table and cross her table to sit at the bar in front of her. So, she thought, he wants me to approach him. No problem. She got up slowly, and sat on the bar stool next to his. She let her eyes "search" for the bartender. She found him at the other end, watching a basketball game, and she motioned for him to come to her.
"Yes, Miss, how may I help you?"
She was startled by the man sitting beside her as he ordered two martinis for them both. She turned on her bar stool, looked at the man, and smiled. He smiled back. They both knew that this was the start of something good. He turned his attention back to the bartender as he poured their drinks. Placing them on the bar, the bartender asked if that was all, and getting a yes, went back to the other end of the bar to watch the rest of the game.
"My name is Glenn, what's yours?" he asked.
"Victoria, but you can call me Vicki. Why did you buy me a drink, not that I'm complaining. You don't even know me." She asked, just to see what his answer would be.
"I might not know you that well, but if your willing, I would like to." They both smiled and started to drink their drinks. The night might not have turned out so bad after all, Vicki thought.
"Someone nice enough to buy me a drink? Hell yeah. So why did you look so bummed out in the corner over there? I've been watching you for a while, but you weren't that sociable. What made you so sad?" she asked, leaning toward him and putting her chin in the palm of her hand.
"Well, my boss told me today that I had to raise production on my floor, or I'd be fired. And I just don't have the manpower . . . wait, let me just say I'm having problems at work."
"Well what would you say if I told you I can make you forget all about your problems at work?" She asked him with a sexy smile.
"Yeah? How would you do that?"
"Why don't you come back to my place and find out?"
Signaling for the bartender, he paid their tab, and helped her slip into her thin jacket. He then pulled his on and they headed out the door. He asked about the man she was with in the bar, and she told him about the blind date.
"So you're not attached to anyone?" he asked, unable to believe it. Someone as gorgeous as she? Impossible!
