Wednesday, February 14th
It was a Wednesday at 7:04 pm and I was already feeling the buzz of alcohol in my veins; I will never forget that moment as it was the one that changed my life permanently. The bartender, some douche frat boy, came over with a large pint of dark beer. When he set it in front of me, I looked up.
"I didn't order this," I managed to say without slurring my words.
He shrugged with a smirk on his fake tanned face, "Compliments of the hot blonde over there. Looks like you won't be spending Valentine's Day alone after all."
I turned my head in the direction he had pointed, my eyes skimming past the happy couples enjoying their romantic dinners, holding hands, being so affectionate it was enough to make a single man pukeâthen, I laid eyes on her for the first time. She was sitting alone at a high top, a seemingly shy smile on her face when she caught me staring; long blonde hair flowed down past her shoulders, a stunningly low cut top showed her ample cleavage, a pint held tightly in her two small hands.
No way,
I thought,
I am never this lucky
. But little did I know that luck didn't have anything to do with itâshe was out on the prowl, looking for a lone man, hunting like a predator.
After tossing back the dregs of my fourthâor fifth?âbeer, I picked up the one she had so graciously sent to me. It took some doing despite the experience I had at functioning while drunk but I managed to not spill a drop while I walked over to her table. "Mind if I join you?" I asked politely, putting on my best crooked GQ smile.
I swear, I thought she blushed, "I'd like that."
Beyond that, the rest of our time in the bar was a blur. I tried to focus through my intoxication but it was all I could do to keep my eyes off of her tits and on her face. She wasn't anything particularly special, definitely not a ten but not a butterface either, just a forgettable blonde with a great rack.
When her cheeks turned red again and she stared down into the bottom of her empty pint, I heard her voice come out softly, "I guess what I'm trying to say is that I just want a man of my own, one to love and take care of. I know how ridiculous that must sound from a complete stranger but if nothing else...maybe you'd like to come home with me tonight?"
Well, I wasn't going to fucking say no, now was I? I reached out and took her hand into mine, giving her my best bedroom eyes, "A gorgeous woman like you shouldn't be alone any night, especially not Valentine's Day. I'd be honored."
She looked up at me and smiled but there was something dark in her eyesâa glint of wickedness, of evil. At that point, I thought it was just the beer; it wouldn't be until later that I found out otherwise.
"Thank you," she said sweetly. "I don't think you're in any condition to drive though, we can take my carâI can drop you back off tomorrow?"
I smiled, "I took a cab here but that sounds great. I'm going to hit the head first and freshen up, I will be right back."
I made my way to the men's room at the back of the bar, stumbling slightly when the door opened quicker than I thought it would. When I got to the urinal, I leaned a hand against the wall while I fished my cock out; looking down at the projectile yellow stream I had to readjust my aim to get it into the basinâthat is why I don't drink at home, it would be a fucking mess all the damn time.
"Looks like you're going to get some action, little buddy," I said cheerfully down to my lower brain; he most definitely had the reins tonight because I was three sheets to the wind, fuck maybe even four sheets after that last beer. I shook it off, tucking it back into my pants before thoroughly washing my hands and splashing water over my drunk face. I made half an effort to fix my disheveled hair before shrugging and walking out of the bathroom.
I closed my tab with the bartender, giving him a fairly large tip despite the ridiculous thumbs up he gave me when the woman wasn't looking. As I signed the bill, I realized that I couldn't remember her nameâfuck, did she even tell me? As she was putting on her coat back at the table, I leaned over to frat douche, "Dude, I can't remember her name...can you tell me what it says on her credit slip?"
He grinned like an idiot before pulling it up, "Yeah man...her name is Emily Adams."
"Emily," I repeated. I mouthed a thank you before turning to her as she walked up.
Shyly, she smiled and led the way out of the bar with me in tow. Even with the refreshing cool night air on my face, my mind was still clouded with alcohol; thankfully, her car was only a block off. I climbed into the passenger's seat, buckling the belt before I jokingly said, "You're not like, a serial killer or anything, are you? Am I going to end up in pieces in your trunk?"
When she casted a blank look at me before backing the car out of the spot, her words jarred my playfulness down a notch, "Do you really expect me to tell you if I am?"
"IâI was kidding," I stammered out, suddenly having second thoughts.
