Men have always been a mystery to me. Especially ones my age. I've always been more mature than other people my age and dating has always been rather disappointing. Luckily, I don't have that much time to think about it. My name is Eliza. I'm 22 and live and work in a fairly big city. I'm a bartender at a local restaurant and I go to school full time at the Community College in town. I guess you could say I'm forever chasing my dreams.
Sure, I've got a couple guys on speed dial when I'm really aching for a good time but lately I haven't even been interested in that- it's a lot faster to take care of myself if you know what I mean. That's probably why it took me so long to recognize Jake.
It started out extremely casual. Jake, this incredibly hot guy that I knew to be a bartender at another restaurant started frequenting my bar. I knew he was much older than me, way more established, and quite frankly way to good looking to be interested. There was something about the look in his eye that kept telling me I was wrong but I kept blowing it off.
I started anticipating his Monday night visits. We talked about everything and really enjoyed each other's company. The sexual tension was becoming undeniable to me but I still maintained it was one sided and there was no way he could be interested in a girl 20 years his junior. One night, however, things changed.
"Eliza, I'm heading down to Frank's Bar and Grill if you close up early. Come meet me and I'll buy you a drink." He said as he was signing his tab one Monday night. Staring at me hard with those bright blue eyes. Was it just me or was he undressing me with them?
