We had talked about doing this for quite some time. The more I thought about it the interested I became. Wifey and I decided to head out on the town as if we didn’t know each other.
With a pre set game plan in mind I suggested heading to a city about an hour from our hometown. Our departure time was to be 9:00 that evening. The crumbsnatchers were safely deposited at grandmas.
I made a few suggestions as to how she should present herself this evening. Black spagetti strap sundress, black thong, no bra. I could tell by her nervousness that she was excited about our evening. She nervously kept asking about how her hair and make up looked.
At about 8:55 the door bell rang. I was still (purposely) in the shower. I heard her skip down the stairs and open the door. About thirty seconds later I heard her coming back up the stairs giggling. Our car and driver had arrived.
I quickly hopped out of the shower and got dressed. She was busily checking out the limo. Playing with the stereo and goofing around with the moon roof. When I came out the front door I saw her standing with her head and shoulders out of the sunroof. Her smile was a mile wide.
I briefed the driver and we were off. The ride was pleasant enough, lots of nervous chatter and cuddling.
The trip to our destination was over in no time. As we came to a stop I leaned over and put my arms around her, lightly kissing her lips.
“Here’s the deal” I said
“This club has four floors, each with a different theme. The forth floor is all classic rock. I will be back at 11:30 looking for you there”
“I thought you would at least come in with me”
“Nah, I figure I might cramp you style a bit too much. Go on in, you will be fine. You probably won’t buy yourself a drink all night".
She stepped out with me right behind her. She had her back to the car as I leaned into her. I grasped both her hands behind her back and kissed her deeply once again. Her nerves were obvious.
“Go ahead, have fun. I will be back in a little while.”
I stood there as she waited in line to get into the club. After she had climbed the stairs she looked back and gave a little wave.
I told the driver to take me to a local peeler joint. I planned on having a couple of beers while I thought about my gameplan.
The adventure had just begun...
*Author Change (Wifey writes the next section)
As I stepped in the door, several things struck me at once. Smoke, lights, noise, young bodies everywhere.
"What the bloody heck am I doing here?" I thought to myself. "Twenty somethings everywhere, flat bellies, tatts, perk boobies, geez, I am outta here!"
As I turn to leave, hoping to flag down hub and confess I chickened out, I see a man checking me out.
He is leaning against the bar, looking my way. Not leering, just gazing. He looked to be about 30. Button down shirt instead of a tee shirt. Dockers instead of jeans or shorts.
Hmm. This might not be so bad after all. I offer him a smile, and see him smile in return. My confidence re-emerges.
I saunter over to the bar, a few people down from Mr. Mature. The bartender asks what I would like. I pause. A beer? A glass of wine? A Cosmopolitan? I decide on vodka with cranberry. Not too complicated, but not as burp inducing as beer. And I am a wine snob, it is not likely I will like what their selection is.
As I receive change for the $20 I offered in payment, I wryly remark to myself that hub was not correct when he told me I wouldn't pay for a drink all night.
I take my drink, and casually turn in the direction of Mr. Mature. Gone. *sigh*
I watch the dancers on the first floor. Some sort of techno beat bumps out, the bass so deep I feel it as I try to breathe in a contrary rhythm. "Time to wander upstairs" I tell myself.
Ah, Top 40. A little more recognizable. Still not my taste, but an improvement. I lean against a wall and watch. Perfect little girls with perfect little bodies bump and grind with frat boys. The boys are eager, think they are cool, and are practically drooling over the little hotties. I lean against a wall, watching the hot people. A wry smile on my lips. Well, this is kinda fun. I like to people watch. How does she move that way, I would sprain…......HOOOO BABY!!!! WHO IS THAT?"
6 foot 3, dark brown hair, dark eyes, dark eyebrows. 35ish. Maybe a little over weight, but he has that sense of confidence that some guys have. Not cockiness, or arrogance. Just an ease with themselves that shows through in how they hold themselves, how they look around a room. He looks around at the younger crowd, shakes his head slightly, then looks my way.
Pauses.
Locks his eyes on mine.
Feeling like the star in a sitcom featuring a doofy 30 something female, I go to take a sip of my drink. And slop some of it down my chest.
As I stare down at my damp chest in embarrassment, wondering what to do, he comes over to me. And hands me the tiny, useless little paper napkin that he grabbed off the bar.
"Um" he says "Here, I'm sorry, it's all I have, would you like me to get some more?"
As I blot at the dampness in my dress, I am too embarrassed to look up at his face. I spend as much time patting at the wet material as I can as he hovers nearby. I finally look up at him.
"I am so embarrassed, I can't even begin to say." In the back of my mind, I realize he looks a lot like Big from Sex and the City. Hot hot hot.
A smile on his lips. I relax. He isn't making fun of me.
"Thanks. This will do." I notice his scent. A brief scent of a cologne. I look at his shoulders. They are marvelously wide. His voice is deep, just a slight southern accent.
"Can I buy you another drink?"
"No, I think that is plenty, obviously. Would you like to dance?"
I can't believe I just asked a man to dance. A man I was attracted to. A man I was not married to.
He replies sure.
Off to the dance floor we go.
