You were supposed to meet me at O'Reilly's pub at 8:30. I had on a short black skirt and a pale pink silk blouse with black heels. It was sexy, but not trashy. The pink was just sweet enough. I arrived about 8:15. I can't stand to be late so I'm always early. I sat at the bar and ordered a vodka martini. I was a little nervous since we hadn't seen each other in a while and I wanted to calm my nerves. The place was pretty empty except for four college guys playing pool. They were all young and clean cut, about 22 at the most. One of the guys was a pretty big black guy, a football player probably. They all looked up when I walked in and smiled. I nodded politely.
I pretty much downed the drink and could already feel the heat of the alcohol coursing through me. I don't drink much so the effect was fast. One of the guys came over to the bar and ordered a round of drinks for his friends. He looked at the empty glass and asked what I was drinking. "Wow, that's heavy duty. I'm Josh."
"Oh I don't really drink much, but I was a little anxious." He smiled and said that the glass was empty and he'd get another. I put my hand over the glass as a no and he put his hand on it at the same time. He kept his hand on mine a little long and I could feel myself blush. "No, really, I shouldn't. I'm waiting for a friend."
"Your friend's late. Relax and join us." With that the bartender topped off my glass and I made a weak smile.
The second drink was already starting to hit me. I started to relax a lot and went over to watch the guys up close now. Josh came over and stood close to me. "You play pool?"
"Oh no, not really. I have a couple of times, but I'm not that good at it. I never hold the cue right."
