A break up is always a hard thing to go through especially if you're the breakee and not the breaker. That's the position I recently found myself in as my girlfriend of the last 3 years decided to call it quits. I cant say I was wholly surprised when she told me, we hadn't been getting along for weeks, but as the reality of the situation set in, the depression came along with it.
I spent the next few weeks immersing myself in work in order to keep my mind off of things. I was crashing at a buddy's apartment until I could find my own place, which only helped to add insult to injury. I was in pretty rough shape.
Then, one fateful Friday night, I decided it was time to stop living like a hermit and get out of the house for a while in an attempt to enjoy myself. I decided to go alone because I wasn't in the mood for the "long time, no see" harassment I was sure to get if I had met up with friends. I chose a local bar that has cheap Guinness and a solid jukebox. Good beer and good music always helps any situation, right? I saddled up next to the bar, ordered my drink, put $5 in the jukebox, and tried to pull myself together. It had been 3 weeks since the break up, but I had kept myself so busy I hadn't yet had to deal with the full scope of the situation, and it was high time I got things in my head and in my life back on the right track.
After of an hour of keeping to myself, and several pints of brew, I was actually starting to feel quite optimistic about life once again. It was then that I looked up and noticed two very attractive, slightly older women sitting about 10 feet from me.
"Don't worry, whether its here or somewhere else, we're gonna get some dick tonight," the slender blonde said to her beautiful redhead friend. I've always had a thing for redheads.
The comment caught my attention, but didn't do much to stir my libido, which had been lying dormant for the past several weeks. I just kind of shrugged it off, smiled to myself, and headed for the men's room. It was about time for a liquid evacuation.
As I made my way back to my stool in the corner of the bar, I walked right past the two ladies and apparently drew their attention.
"Oh, wow, you're cute. How long have you been sitting over there?" the outgoing blonde inquired in my direction.
"Long enough to hear what it is you're looking for this evening," I replied with a sly grin.
My comment drew a blush of embarrassment from the redhead, whose cheeks immediately turned the same color as her hair, and a slightly devilish look from the blonde.
"What's your name?" asked the blonde.
"Aidan. And you are...?"
"My name is Christine, and this lovely shy woman here is named Kendra."
Hmmm, I thought to myself, a redhead named Kendra. Sounds very appealing. I felt the first stirrings of my libido in weeks.
Christine continued, "Why don't you come sit a little closer so I can buy you a drink?"
"Now that sounds like an offer I cant refuse," I replied in my best mock Marlon Brando voice.
As I stood up to move closer, I felt two pairs of eyes suddenly scroll up and down my body before the two ladies shared a quick glance. I could sense some non-verbal communication going on. As the ladies ordered me a drink, we exchanged small talk about jobs, our day, and what brought each of us out tonight. I gave them the condensed version of why I was out tonight, not wanting to dwell too long on the depressing situation I'd been in and inadvertently bring myself back down again.
My sob story worked apparently because I was showered by a chorus of "Aww's" and given a sympathetic, yet slightly sexual, rub on the thigh by the outgoing Christine. I was beginning to pick up on the dynamics of these two women. Christine was obviously more adventuresome and perhaps even a little wild, while it appeared that Kendra was much more reserved. Being a redhead though, I knew there was probably a personality just as fiery as her hair color lying just below the surface. It was now my intention to try to unleash that side of her.
We continued to talk, mostly between Christine and myself, but as I turned on the charm, Kendra seemed to warm to the situation. Ok, I'm giving myself lots of credit here; it probably had more to do with the vodka tonics she was nursing at a healthy rate. The point is, however, she seemed to relax and became more a part of the conversation.
This point was made evident as Christine excused herself to the ladies' room and as she walked away, Kendra piped up, "She has the sexiest ass, doesn't she? She's 42 and has the ass of a 25 year old. I wish mine still looked like that."
With that, I saw an opening. "Well, why not let a 25 year old judge how nice your ass is? Stand up and turn around for me."
Kendra raised her eyebrows and gave me a sideways glance, I guess somewhat surprised by my forwardness. However, her lips quickly curled into a wry smile and she sipped her drink as she stood and made her way to the ladies' room. As she walked away, she glanced over her shoulder to see if she had my attention, and I made sure to make it clear exactly where my attention was focused. When she saw my eyes had tractor beam vision aimed directly at her ass, another smile crossed her lips as she turned away headed for the restroom.
I quickly asked for a tab, paying for everyone's drinks and quickly called my buddy, Mark, whose place I had crashing at to see if he was sleeping at home or at his girlfriend's house tonight.
"I hadn't given it much thought. Why do you ask?" came Mark's reply.
"There's a chance I might be bringing over some company and it would be nice to have a little privacy, if that's not too much to ask."
A chuckle rang out on the other end of the phone. "Way to get back on the wagon, buddy, you need it. I'll see tomorrow morning, but not too early."
I always liked Mark. He's a stand up guy.
Our quick phone call was barely over before Christine and Kendra simultaneously emerged from the restroom. They both wore devilish grins on their faces, and I immediately began to wonder what discussion went on in the ladies' room. Women's bathrooms are like the corporate boardroom of the one night stand world. All important decisions about whether or not to close a deal are decided in that room.
Christine came over and stood next to me as she put her arm around my neck. She leaned in close and for the first time, I noticed how incredibly intoxicating her scent was. Her lips drew very close to my ear as she spoke.
"What do you say we get out of here and find some place a little more...comfortable where we can all get to know each other a little better?" There was a distinct difference in her voice, a sultry difference that made sure my libido was not only no longer dormant, but up and running and firing on all cylinders.
"That sounds like a wonderful idea. Do you have a specific place in mind or shall I be a gentleman and offer mine?"
