I was having drinks with a man at a rooftop bar recently. Next to us was a group of business folks, though the man immediately next to us seemed quite left out of his group’s conversation and apparently quite interested in mine.
“Excuse me, I don’t mean to interrupt, but what did you just say?” he asked me.
I glanced at my companion, just to make sure he was up for engagement. He was.
Crossing my bare legs and letting the sandal dangle from my foot, I turned back to the fellow and repeated myself, “I said that I’m undateable.”
Nosy looked baffled, “I find that hard to believe. Why….why… what do you mean?” He looked at my companion. “I’m sorry. I really don’t mean to get into your conversation. But I’m just very curious. Do you mind?”
“Sure, feel free to talk to her,” he said. “I should warn you – sometimes you walk into something thinking that you’re the cowboy in a cowboy movie. Turns out you are the cowboy, only you’re in a vampire movie. And you’re lunch.”
Grinning, I turned to Nosy. “Hi, cowboy. “
I just love this story. Over and above being ga-ga for the “leg-cross-sandal-dangle” move, I am always feeling like I’m auditioning for one kinda movie and she’s casting me in another. Lately I’m trying out for the lead in a nice, kinky romantic dramady while I feel like my casting directors have been looking for an extra in a documentary. 😉
Where are my spurs and hat? I’ll leave the chaps for her.
BTW do you two, yer guy friend from the roof bar and you, practice these moves? Soooo smooth and great straight man set up for the kinkified Gracie Allen one liner. Jeez am I dating myself.
So check my blog … I answered your question.
Great post… and hoping there is a continuation. Would love to hear how the conversation played out.
That’s the moment when others might hesitate, but a super hero would fearlessly rush forward, throwing caution to the wind…
MTO- That is a delicious quote. I’m afraid I’ll be parroting it over the next few days 🙂
