I ask her if she happens to notice the man in the side booth watching us. Yes I know you are here together but I also see how he let you leave to danc...e by yourself. Come let me buy you a drink & introduce you to Mark I say. I take her hand & we make our way to the booth.A little bit more shy than I had anticipated I would be I try to relax by sipping my drink. The 3 of us chat & slowly start to learn about each other & after about an hour or so the drinks have me a bit more relaxed & even. I looked up to see the bartender lighting her cigarette with a book of bar matches. Giving me a smile to die for, she said, ‘You’re smooth, I’ll give you that. Anyone else would have just lit my cigarette, but you actually have my attention. Now if I could just find something to drink I might be happy the rest of the evening.’ Some have accused me of being slow, but never stupid. I waved to the bartender and when he got there the girl asked for a Mai Tai. That was way too sweet for me, so I. She felt a tad nervous and soaking in the scented water for an hour would help to calm her nerves and clear her mind.Stepping out of her clothes, she stopped to admire her long lithe figure, flawless white skin and firm supple breasts. She knew that she was still a head turner but the past few months had shattered her self-confidence as she was greeted by rejections from all the major tabloid magazines and fashion houses. And it angered her that she was now reduced to this desperate measure.. Something in my life, though it happened years ago, finally hit me recently, and this was borne of it. ————————————————- I hope it’s peaceful where you are. Looking at your photo, I hope you’re at peace Scott. My fingers, they trace the outline of your face on the photograph. Interesting. This is the closest I’ll ever get to touching you again. To seeing your smile, the way your eyes creased whenever you laughed, anything like that. Looking into your eyes in the photo, it finally hit me a few.
