"A lover's eyes will gaze an eagle blind. A lover's ear will hear the lowest sound when the suspicious head of theft is stopped," the charming man named Jeremy toasts while holding up the shot glass. Unable to help myself, I stare at his lips as he is one of the most gorgeous men I have ever seen. Not to mention built as his arm looks like it could lift double my body weight.
"Here, here," I say a moment later, having been transfixed by those lips of his. When I say this, my feminine voice sounds so different than the bass in his voice. I like the way they clash through.
I then lift my own shot glass, so glad I got my nails done earlier today. The gorgeous man shoots his shot easily while I nearly choke on mine. I'm not used to shooting hard liquor as I'm more of a margarita girl. I like to sip and relax with my drinks, not have to taste the harshness when they are raw.
I manage to drink my shot, laughing as some of it rolls down my chin. I have to wipe it off with my hand, knowing I must look like a little kid even if I'm in my twenties.
"You ok, Sarah?" Jeremy asks, laughing along with me at how badly I take my shot.
"Oh yes, yes. I just have a...drinking...problem," I tell him, using that tired joke to combat how dorky I must look at the moment. And to try and hide from harsh and odd this drink tastes.
I went to this restaurant, excuse me, bar and grill for some dinner and to have a drink or two to celebrate the end of the work week. Nothing too big or celebratory, just a meal, alone, along with a margarita or two.
Normally when I do this, several men come up to me. After all, I'm a fairly attractive single woman who takes care of herself, so I know that must look very appealing, especially to subpar men wanting to hook up. You know the type I mean. The ones that hang out only during happy hour as that's when their cheap beer is even cheaper.
Most of the men that try to talk to me are the exact type you would picture if asked what a loser looked like. Old men with no money wanting to relive some pretend youth. Loser criminals trying to find some dumb woman to leech financially off of. And of course, horny idiots guided by their downstairs head instead of their upstairs one.
Jeremy approach wasn't exactly new, but it was unique. You see, when I am here, I like to read. I know it might be weird, but I rather read than look at some sport game that's on the TV or spy on other people's conversation.
Now many guys think that seeing a woman reading a book is an awesome way to get "in," as they figure they can just ask, "what are you reading, beautiful?" to which I'll open up. What really happens is when I get asked this, I know that the guy isn't a reader at all as a real reader knows not to disturb someone when they are reading, especially when they are alone and trying to eat. Sometimes I don't even bother responding to the guy while other times I politely say, "Not interested, thank you."
Jeremy came up and instead of asking what I'm reading he said, "The book is far better than the movie, but sadly I didn't find it anywhere as good as The Shining." Seems he read the title of my book (which is
Doctor Sleep
) before he decided to approach me. Him saying that let me know that he indeed read it because I completely agree with him.
From there we started a conversation about the book, to which he wanted to see what part I was on so he didn't give me any spoilers. Sure, I've seen the movie, but the book is far more detailed and going in a different direction. It's like night and day to me.
And well, an hour and a half has passed having our conversation. Just us sitting here and talking about nothing and everything. He is clearly more interested in conversation than a hook up as there's no pretend questions. You know those questions, the type to try and pretend you are interesting and they want to know you.
Nor has he boasted about himself. Hasn't said anything about how great he is, or how wonderful. Only thing close is when he mentioned he was an engineer and loved to make homemade gadgets when possible.
Instead we've been talking about various books, poetry and other artsy topics. Nothing too serious or dark. Just nice, friendly conversation.
"I know this is going to be a bummer, but that's going to have to be my last drink," I tell Jeremy honestly. Already I've had three drinks to which I have a strong buzz. Add to that the shot we just took. Any more and I'll be headed into drunk territory, which is not what I want.
"But thank you for the shot. It was...interesting," I am quick to say as he purchased the shots we just took. He was rather comical walking them back here as he walked terribly slow to make sure he didn't spill any.
"It's my pleasure. I normally don't get to have such a grown up conversation here," Jeremy says and laughs. It may be my buzz, but that comment makes me light up. It's a low key way of him telling me he thinks I'm smart, which means it's honest. Not the fake ways others say it, where they either don't really believe it or get scared of it.
"Hey baby, how about you drop the zero and get with this hero?" a plump forty year old man says. This man seems to appear on my right side from out of nowhere, forcing himself into my conversation with Jeremy, who is on my left side.
Jarred by such a strange interruption, I turn to look at the guy flabbergasted. I look at his untrimmed beard, which is still wet from whatever he was drinking as well as has bits of food in it, his uncombed hair and red drunken face, then turn to look at Jeremy. It's clear Jeremy is holding back a laugh, but he does a motion that seems to say, "by all means go with the hero there."
"No thank you, Vanilla Ice," I tell the plump asshole. I know that reference will most likely go over his head, but I was forced to watch that horrible movie last weekend and the terrible dialog is still stuck in my head.
"Fine, your loss baby," the plump man says after a very pregnant pause, where I think he has to replay what I said a few times in his head. It's now that I notice the smell of him, where I think he is what neckbeards turn into when they reach their next form. And this guy's next form would be as a homeless man.
"Sure is. I'll cry myself to sleep tonight," I tell the man as he still doesn't get the clue, making sure to say it as sarcastically as possible. The guy takes a breath like he's going to say something, but instead walks off. I have a feeling he knows it wouldn't end well for him, as I don't put up with little boys or their abuse. Plus I think he saw Jeremy up close and didn't want to get beat up tonight. He hasn't said anything about it, but it's clear Jeremy does go to the gym.
"Future husband material?" Jeremy jokingly asks as he motions to the guy as he storms off. I roll my eyes at his comment but laugh.
"I've enjoyed talking to you, Jeremy. Sadly, I'll need to be leaving. Got a lot to do tomorrow," I tell him, letting him know that this makes me a bit sad. Nothing would make me happier than spending the entire night chatting with him. Maybe going to a quieter location.
"Understandable. I enjoyed talking to you as well, Sarah," Jeremy says and I can tell he's being honest as well. What makes my heart leap is that there's no frantic push to make me stay. Nor is he trying to make up some reason to get me to go home with him, or to go to my house. He is an adult and is treating me as an adult.
"If you don't mind, could I walk you to your car? Or if you rather, I can get one of the staff here to do it," Jeremy says, surprising me. I was just about to ask for his number or a social media handle, so this does surprise me, not so much for what he wants, but because he has a worried look. Jeremy then sees that I noticed his look.
"That creep is standing in a corner hardcore staring at you. I don't think it's a good idea for you to walk out alone," Jeremy tells me after leaning in some, his tone and face very serious.
I sigh at this, not at his offer but because of yet another crazy stalker type. What is the big deal with men not talking "NO" as an answer? No one likes to hear no, but that's the way life is. Just move on. How many times do I have to go through with this?
"If you wouldn't mind, I would like that, thank you," I tell Jeremy, already standing up as I want to go.
"Oh, ok. Thought you were going to wait a few, but this is better. I think the creep is trying to think up a game plan. If you go now he probably won't be able to think what to do," Jeremy muses.
Putting my book in my purse, I sling it over my shoulder. I then finish the rest of my margarita which is unfrozen now. Now ready to leave, I look at Jeremy who has settled his bill at the bar.
"Milady," Jeremy says when he returns, motioning for me to go first. I laugh at this and the two of us walk out together. We move through the now crowded restaurant, which seems jumping with the soon to be nighttime partiers. I didn't expect to stay this long, so when I arrived it wasn't anywhere near this busy.
"Thanks for walking me out. That's very decent of you," I tell Jeremy as we step out of the front doors and into the parking lot.
"Nah, not decent. Sad that by doing the right thing you stand out. Should be normal behavior, you know?" Jeremy muses but says it more to himself. Like he doesn't understand the state of the world.
As we walk, I do notice how tired I am. I thought the conversation had woken me up, but I think the day was more taxing than I believed. This really is going to be a bed and bath sort of night as that's all I am going to do when I get home.
"Not trying to alarm you, but the creep is following us," Jeremy reveals, making me sigh again.
"I doubt he's going to do anything but give you mean glances," Jeremy is quick to say trying to comfort me as I start to feel uneasy. I know Jeremy is with me, but I still reach into my purse for the mace/hot spray that I keep for defense.
"Guys like him are cowards. The parking lot is pretty bright and idiots like him wouldn't dare do anything were people could see. Not to mention all the cameras everywhere," Jeremy tells me, on purpose pointing up to the side.
I try to play it cool, especially as Jeremy does his little pointing gesture not for me, but the stalker. The stalker will no doubt look to see the cameras, where maybe he'll turn around. Yet I still tense up and feel even more uneasy. I do feel tons better that Jeremy is walking me to my car, but the fear is still trying to creep in. That cold, dark fear with the possibility of being hurt. That feeling you get with a weirdo.
