I had reservations about going, being it only Monday and all. But ya know, I said to myself. "I'll just go for a couple of hours". Anyway, so were shootin' pool and his friend shows up and plays with us. Cool! Leaves me free to go flirt with the bartender. Woohoo!Now keep in mind, I haven't done this sort of thing, the bar scene, in like 15 years. So I'm a tad nervous in a bar. Don't know what to expect and all. I'm over at the bar, flirting my ass off and waiting for my drink to be poured. All of a sudden this "missing link" looking
fellow sits down next to me, almost on top of me. He's all hunched over and looking at my face with these wild, strange eyes. Drunk eyes. I quickly avert my astonishment to straight in front of me, which happens to be the bartender, who gives me this look of concern. I'm thinking, "oh SHIT!" I glance out of the side of my eyes to see "LINK" still staring at me! OH HORROR! WHY IS IT ALWAYS THE FREAKS??? Anyway, thank GAWD my brother came up behind me and bailed me outta there. "Let's shoot some pool, fucker."....oh hell yes! FREE! The whole rest of the time he was in there, this LINK fellow, he followed me around the bar. He lurked into the smoking area after I went inside. He brushed up against me as he came in the door. I put out my smoke and left immediately. He lurched past our pool table while I was up to shoot. OH just freaky. I asked my brother and his friend, "you guys will protect me right?"....I hear a resounding "oh hell no! I'm scared!" I said, "will you at least run with me?" "oh yah!" Great, just great! Finally Link left the bar. Whew! But the night was still young. In walks a trio of hot, tall, blonde guys.
I had noticed them all congregating together, then sometime when I wasn't looking, they disappeared. Oh well, I thought. I go off to have another smoke. I swing open the door, it's dark inside, a small bluish box like glow from the Mrs. Pac Man machine and the bar trivia game, I step inside. The door swings shut behind me, and the same three Adonis looking, model types are all standing, facing the door and staring at me. I had to stop and just picture them naked for a fleeting moment. I says, "hi". They all said, in unison, like conjoined triplets, "hi". Then they walk out! Well shit! This is the class, "bar 101". Good Lord! It was nice while it lasted. Okay so I'm dun, right? Time to go home? But no, wait. Here comes these other three guys, just regular, decent looking Joes steppin' up to the bar and pullin' up a stool. I'm back shooting pool with the boys, in dire need of more Yagermiester and my brother in need of a beer, I trot off to the bar stools so I can once again take the opportunity to flirt with the bartender. I'm waiting to get my flirtatious bartender's attention, there's a lot of people in here on a Monday night. Don't these people have jobs? Hahaha.
I plop down on a bar stool next to these three chatting guys, who sat at the end of the bar. I turn and look one of the guys in the face and strike up a conversation. I'm chatting with all three of them in a matter of minutes and having a good time, I forgot all about my brother's beer. He comes over and says, "your up"....."I don't wanna play"....."play for me".....he goes off to shoot more pool and left me to my conversation with these three guys. They introduce themselves. The one I sat next to had such a great face, I felt compelled to stay there and talk to him. So I did. The conversation flowed so easy and we were two inches from each other's noses. I'm chattin' away, he's responding, smiling, what a smile! And he had the deepest blue eyes I think I have ever seen. He was smart, cute, funny....oh lordy! My heart skipped a beat a few times. What's this? I thought, No! 
Can this be? I thought I was DUN!!!! So as the night went on, we talked about our brackgrounds, where we grew up, all sorts of stuff. I haven't felt this comfortable in years. I kept leaning into him, so I could hear his voice. It was like velvet. He told me stories of the bartender and his black leather trench coat days. We laughed easily, smiled a whole lot. I couldn't get over those blue eyes of his. My heart racing the whole time. It was a strange feeling to me. Almost foreign. But yet, so enveloping and
soothing. Bizzare. He started playing Liar's dice with my brother, trying to teach me how to play. I'm not a good liar, I don't have a poker face. So I would lean over and look at each one's dice after they rolled them. I'd lean real close to my new friend and I could tell he was smelling my perfume. I could hear him take in a breath every time I leaned over to see his dice. I had an uncontrollable urge to kiss those lips. I was drawn to his lips! I wanted to kiss him! What the hell is this about. I fought my urge with everything I had and continued to put on my best poker face and play dice. We laughed so much. I kept giving away their lies! I couldn't help it. I don't have a good poker face. But my face was flushed and I was having a good time. Unfortunately, time was up and he had to take his friend home. They abruptly got up, said good night and left. AUGH!!!! I had so much fun, I forgot to get his phone number! Can you believe it!!!!???? I'm such an idiot!!!! OH please let me run into him again....I promise, I'll go slow, just give me another shot at hanging out with him. I just want to talk to him some more. I'd like to get to know him and not the way you may be thinking, but truly know him before anything else. I can't get those blue eyes and that killer grin out of my head. I've been thinking about him ever since. I think
Cupid was whispering in our ears that night. Cuz we both looked like the Cheshire cat, big stupid grin, chatting our asses off. I like him and I think he liked me.
We'll see.....maybe I'm not just DUN yet.
Love and peace my friends, keep your fingers crossed for me.
