*CH1. The Bar
The night I met Vanessa I was out with my crew, Ryan, Che and Steve. We had a table at the popular bar Sideshow, and were getting frustrated watching hot girls totally ignore us. We're all good looking guys, decent height, early 20's. But not players. We respect women, worship them even. After a round of Tequila shots the testosterone won and Che proposed a contest. We each approach a different girl, whoever returns with a phone number drinks free. Of our group, Steve has the most game, and it looked like he was in with a decent looking blond, but she had a boyfriend. Ryan and Che did ok, but eventually got shot down too.
Then she walked in. The most beautiful girl I have ever seen. She had olive skin, dark brown hair, smokey eyes, and an adorable button nose. She was tiny and skinny but a perfect bubble butt stuck out lewdly from her petite frame. The whole bar stared as she walked past. A model for sure.
Dread rose in my stomach because I knew I was up. The guys started razzing me hard and there was no way out. Each step towards her felt like a mile. She had her back turned so I lightly tapped her shoulder, my finger electric against her skin. She turned to me. "Nope." she dismissed me and turned back. I got rejected. Hard. It wasn't even a fail- it was an execution.
"Wait, I need to ask you something." I fought for my dignity. "I need your number to win a bet. Please. I'll buy you a drink. Anything."
She looked at me impatiently for a moment, and then the annoyance on her face turned to a wry little smile. "Julie, check this out." A leggy blond stepped forward. "This little loser is playing a game with his friends." She stepped closer. "So let's play. I'll give you my number, but only if you put a finger in your ass."
"What? haha" I laughed, confused.
"This one." She said, and grabbed the middle finger of my right hand. "For three seconds."
I stammered. "Uhh.. right here?"
