The memories of a brief encounter near an aquarium in a restaurant leads a man on a fast track into the boiling waters of lust and wanting when a mysterious folded napkin,fans his colorful feathered tail in a short story about the cock sure strut of a proud man….
“From the blonde in the red dress”
A cocktail napkin folded over concealing a phone number ;presumambly, handed to Rod by the waitress.
Saying “thank you” and smiling the waitress away, an entire heart pounding lifetime had just began to form as he slowly started to open the note.
It was only a sutle surprise to receive this from her. The two had bumped into each other near the aquarium on the way from the restroom earlier. In that brief course of history, Rod had a quick conversation about life, family, religion ,politics etcetera. All in the span of time it took for them to bat there eyes.This exceptional etcetera had only become prelude to an ever so calm,polite and charming
“Oh excuse me”
spewing from his lips.
The entire conversation as it turned out had simply been a soliloquy Rod had figured, as he regrouped him self at his table and started to
Sip from his glass of water.
In retrospect, he hadn’t had such a contact with a woman,let alone such a beautiful woman as she and he for ,just a moment, felt as though he would like for their brief encounter to be more lasting and intimate.
They had made eyes with each other since. Nothing too flirtatious. A simple familiar glance at each other as they took separate bites of their meals during the evening. She was not alone to his dismay for she was with a gentleman. The entire dinner he would fight himself from glancing back at him and her eating day dreaming of ways to pull her back to the aquarium away from Whats His Name and become more to her than just a chance meeting.
Rod did notice that her exquisit,(as he would name her) was not wearing an wedding ring and neither was her companion.
Maybe just maybe she was on a dinner date with her brother or perhaps she was only with a suiter.
Maybe 10 minutes into their cuisine Rod did take a smaller, “scoping” bite of his filet minon to peer over his fork at her again only this time he noticed her making a rather long stare in his direction as though she was trying to showcase some naughty intention. Rod pulled his fork from his mouth with a sly yet seductive little smile noticing her smile back, take a sutle look down towards his table leg and then look back at him with an even more sultry smile then look away as though embarrassed.
“It’s quite alright my fair lady” thought Rod to himself. He had been working out lately and didnt mind the attention. He coud even slightly feel the uneasy tension that might have been built because he coud tell he was a bit more handsom than her companion.
