My God, she is hot. Jacquie was standing alone in a crowd of donors at a fundraiser. She scanned the cavernous room looking for anyone she knew when she saw me staring at her. We both smiled and I elbowed over.
She is my good friend's wife. How he ended up with her I'll never know. Money perhaps? It was a mystery because she was out of his league.
"Hi Jacquie, is John with you?"
"No. He's away on business this weekend. Are you here with anyone?"
"No, I'm running solo. Again. Being single sometimes blows."
I was taking Jacquie in. She is a stunning 33-year-old woman, but tonight she was extra breathless. Standing a slender 5'7" with brown, straight, shoulder-length hair, a tight and shapely ass, and breasts that were perfect for her size, 34C, she owned the room. To show off her body she was wearing silky fishnet stockings and a red cocktail dress with a hemline that was short, but not slutty short, and heels that gave her calves definition.
I'm no slouch, but at 50 years old my hair is graying and thinning and my 5'11" body is scarred from a life of physical work, mostly overseas for the government. I'm a hands-on type of guy.
"Would you like something to drink," I asked.
"White wine would be lovely," she said. She watched me walk away and I soon had two drinks in hand.
Walking back through the crowd I could see she was texting. "Is everything alright?" I asked.
"Yes. John was wondering if I am at the fundraiser and who was here. I let him know I got lucky and ran into you, my defacto date."
I handed her the wine, we toasted, and a few seconds later her phone rang. It was clearly John.
