The restaurant was busy. It had taken forever for the food to appear and I was feeling bored and restless. My husband went on and on about the conference he had just attended in Florida, but I had tuned out long ago. All it took was the occasional nod from me for conversation to keep flowing.
Idly I pushed my food around the plate and concentrated on my glass of chardonnay, conversations around us provided a steady hum of background noise. I listened as a woman next to us chatted to her friend about her recent vacation in Italy and I hung on to every word. Her stories were far more interesting than the same old conference chat.
A soft Scottish accent caught my attention and I immediately began scanning the room to see who had spoken. A good looking man with long dark hair sat at table close by with a blond woman. He was leaning back in his chair, a glass of red wine in hand while the woman talked about a wedding she had gone to. It was immediately obvious he was bored by the expression on his face and the way he stared at his glass more than his date. I smiled to myself and was just about to divert my attention back to my husband when the dark haired man must have felt my stare. His head suddenly swung around and he caught my eye.
He had the most amazing chocolate brown eyes I had seen in years and for a long moment I happily returned his gaze. He raised one eyebrow and rolled his eyes at me as his companion paused for breath long enough to shovel a huge fork full of mashed potatoes into her mouth. Grinning in sympathy, I quickly glanced over at my husband again. He was checking his cell phone so I diverted my attention right back to dark haired stranger with a smile.
Now that we had that each other's attention, every once in a while (but not enough to be too obvious) I'd glance over at him. I couldn't help but notice him hide a yawn and I smiled gleefully just as he glanced over at me again. Suddenly my husband's cell phone rang loudly, causing everyone in the entire restaurant to turn and look at us. "Sorry baby, need to take this call." As he rushed outside to take the call.
A few second later, the blond stood up too. "Just going to the little girls' room." He smiled and stood up politely as she took off across the room on her four inch stilettos, fake boobs stuck out in front.
"Your dinner looks nice..." I commented as I gazed over at his plate. "It was," he agreed. "Kind of lost my appetite now though." "Why's that?" I asked. "Company's not as good as I had hoped for." He replied ruefully. "Blind dates are always a bad idea." "Really? I never would have guessed." I said, smiling at him. He grinned at me and dipping a fork into his risotto, offered me some. I leaned across the gap between the tables and stared straight at him, parting my lips. "Open wide..." he said softly.
I took the food into my mouth and swallowed it slowly. It was delicious; just like him. I licked my lips slowly as he watched me. The sudden sexual tension was thick in the air. His eyes darkened even more as he dropped his gaze to my cleavage. "Nice," he said "I so much prefer the real thing." I smiled and allowed myself to check his body out. Muscular thighs encased in jeans, pale blue shirt outlining a spectacular chest. This guy was fit as well as good looking. Too damned sexy, he was pretty much my perfect man.
"Where have you been all my life?" I asked teasingly. "Waiting for you?" he answered to my surprise. Our conversation was interrupted as the blond returned to their table. My husband also returned a minute later, having finished his phone call.
My husband asked the waiter for another bottle of wine just as the sexy stranger stood up and disappeared off in the direction of the men's room. After sitting there a few more minutes, I made a split second decision and jumped up from the table muttering something vague then rushed off in the direction of the restrooms. My timing was perfect; he was just coming out and he smiled as he saw me and stopped.
We were out of sight of the tables, so I took a chance and stepped forward, reached up and kissed him passionately. For a moment he froze in surprise. Then he kissed me back, the intensity of his response literally taking my breath away. We both stepped back after several seconds, panting hard. "Dessert was taking too damn long to arrive so I thought I would have you instead!" I said.
