The Tie

I check my coat at the door. Tonight I don’t feel particularly sexy in my tight jeans and maroon form-fitting long sleeve shirt. I scan the room. My girlfriend, Ani, is ahead of me and she has almost completely assessed the babe situation tonight. My eye has drifted to a dance floor with flashing colored lights. My lip curls with delight. The first time I was here and on that dance floor, I was in a four way hump with a tranny named Robby, a girl named Becky and Ani who was too hesitant to really get into it. I don’t expect anything of the sort to happen this week, because the week before when I had talked to my fellow humpers, they walked away from me. It is curious how peoples minds tend to work. Robby was here with another guy, and there was another gaggle of girls that I had seen both times prior to this one, regular Diva goers I assume. I see a few people at the bar, but a young woman in a tie with bleached blonde hair catches my eye. I feel energy from her that I can’t decipher.

Me and my girlfriend head to the bar. After we receive our drinks we go and try to mingle. Among the regulars, there is a girl who I admire. She has extremely good abs, and she looks as though she belly dances from the way that she moves. I approach her and I ask her if she could show me some moves. She declines and I feel slightly offended but I get over it quickly as I feel someone’s eyes on me. I don’t know whose they are so I look about. When I look at the bar, I could have sworn that the girl with the tie had just looked away from me. I swig down my water in an attempt to have a reason to walk by her. Some how, recently, the relationship with Ani had become open. As I get another water, I brush by The Tie ever so slightly touching her, trying to be discreet about it. She is drinking a beer and seeming to be thoroughly off in her own mind. A little disappointed I guess that it was silly of me to think that she was looking at me.

I find Ani and drag her onto the dance floor. Her self confidence fails quickly as the crowd that had been dancing disperses. We leave the dance floor and I look over my shoulder to the woman at the bar, and find her looking at me. Our eyes meet, and I quickly look away. My heart is pounding as I head outside to the smoke deck. Her eyes were so piercing and raw, that her intensity was easily shown. We stand around with Robby and his friend along with Becky and a couple others that I don’t know. Robby's friend looked familiar to me and reminded me of someone that I had given eyes to at a Wal-Mart. I am introduced to him by the name of Max. I found myself blurting out "Do you work at Wal-Mart?" He looked at me and I blushed. "Yeah" he said. I looked away, I could not face him. "Why" he asked. "Do you remember me?" I squeaked. "I came on to you at Wal-Mart." We discussed the matter a little more; until I discovered that he did remember me. A sense of stupidity overcomes me when I find out that Max is dating Robby, and the feeling of rejection leaves.

I walk over by the pool tables to see if anyone was playing, and to also have an excuse to walk by the blonde woman with the tie. A couple is playing, but neither woman is very good. They are both attractive, but together. I looked over my shoulder at The Tie to find her talking to my girlfriend. Slightly alarmed, I nonchalantly made my way over, waiting for Ani to stop talking with The Tie. I call her The Tie because at that point in the evening I didn’t need to know her name. I was playing a little game with her. One might say I was fishing and I was the bait. When I reconvened with my girlfriend she asked me what I thought about Heidi, the girl with the tie. Heidi apparently had been looking at me for a while now. "I think she is attractive. Why?" "She likes you" Ani said, "why don’t you go talk to her?” I walk away from Ani, wanting to do it my way. I walked by Heidi as I headed out to the porch and made an extra point to 'accidentally' brush her. I had already seen her drink at least 3 beers since I got there, she wouldn’t notice that the hint was exaggerated.

I go into the smoky air, and back to talk with Robby. I ask him about Heidi, and what she was like. He gave me a warning about her, and told me that she is crazy. I giggle to myself and say 'crazy I can handle'. There is another guy out there who is smoking a cigarette and over hears our brief conversation and says "I'm Toby, Heidi’s a good kid. Just to let you know she is not in for anything serious. She wants a good fuck, and then to never see you again." I think to myself, 'well we will see if she never wants to see me again'.

I leave the porch through the double doors, and the karaoke music is playing. I look for the woman named Heidi, and I spot her leaning up ageist a railing to the Dj stand. I walk sexily and purposefully towards her as I look her straight in the face. I grab the dog collar she has around her neck, and hesitate to get approval, and then I kiss her full on the mouth. I know that she won’t push me away, but I didn’t expect her to kiss me back as heartily as she did right then. As soon as the kiss ends, I flip around and start walking the other way, shocked at myself, but really quite proud. I look over my shoulder and smirk, to see her eyes still almost closed and her lips slightly puckered. I laugh at my boldness, as I exit the club on to the porch. Ani is out there and she comes up to me and asks me "Why don’t you go kiss her? She says she wants to" In a confident voice, I said "I already did" and thinking 'with out anyone telling me if and how I should.'

As the evening wears on I can only think about the kiss. It was really quite incredible. She kissed me back, and with such passion. I have never had such a compatible kiss or such a perfect one. It has been a long time since I have been kissed like that. It may sound silly, but I think that I have just discovered what 'love at first sight' is. We approach Heidi right before we leave, and we make plans for the next day. I am house sitting for a friend and there is a hot tub there. I have intentions of bringing Heidi there and creating a scene worthy of a movie. She gives us her name and address, while holding on to her sixth beer. As we leave I give her a look, wanting to know what she is hiding.

Ani and I stand at the door of apartment building B. I am so nervous, wondering what it will be like to see her today, and if she would be as perfect and sexy as she was the night before. Ani rings the buzzer, and no one answers. I ring it a second time, frustrated, not wanting the fairytale that I had created for myself last night, to end. The door open and I see her in a pair of boxer and a tee shirt, her hair (that last night was perfectly spiked) is fuzzy and messy. She looks at us affronted, as if the last thing on earth was to see me standing on her doorstep waiting for her to let us in. I smile and say "hey, its me, how did you sleep?" She looks at me in the same way that I feel, 'does this person in front of me really exist?'
