As I sat at the bar I saw a beautiful woman walk in. Her blond hair was flying in the metaphorical wind that my mind was creating. It made me want to get close to her. Find out wat her name is. Where she was from and all the other things. But I knew that I had to play it cool. I watched as she sat down at a stool on the other side of the bar. I counted in my head tell I got to ten. Then I got up and I went over to her.
"Is this set taking," I asked her flashing my signature dopey smile.
She looked up at me and flashed me a smile that made my heart melt. "No."
I sat down on the stool and looked at her. "Mind if I buy you a drink," I ask her.
"I never take drinks from strangers," she said giving me the smile again.
"My name is Finn," I told her. "Now I'm not a stranger."
"I guess not," she said. "My name is Brittany."
"Pretty name for a pretty girl," I said then I mentally kicked myself. That is the oldest pick up line in the book. I need some new material.
I wave the bartender down and ordered us a drink. "So are you hear alone or are you meeting someone?"
"I am here alone," Brittany said. "My last boyfriend dumped me a couple of days ago."
I nodded my head thinking about my latest break up. The girl told me about how she wanted something that I could not give her. "Why would someone break up with someone like you?"
"He told me that he was not really in love with me," she said. "He thought he was but he meets this girl at a work conference that made him feel something different. So he told me that it was over."
"Sorry to hear that," I said taking a sip of my drink.
"It is alright," she said looking at me. "So what about you Finn. Got a girlfriend?"
"No," I replied. "She told me that I either needed to grow up or get gone. So I left."
"Why did she need you to grow up," Brittiany asked me.
"She was starting in a Broadway production," I said. "She told me that I needed to look the part of a non-famous person dating a famous person. But since I did not want to change who I was I left."
"She sounds really uptight," Brittiany said.
"Yeah she was," I said nodding my head. "But it is ok. I am talking to a pretty girl and that is all that matters."
I watched as Brittiany blushed when I gave her the complement.
"So tell me more about yourself," I said to her.
Brittiany started talking about herself. From her family that lived in Lima, Ohio to her job at a dance studio her in New York. As she talked I sat and listened. She was so animated and full of energy about everything. After a while she turned to me.
"I have rambled on long enough Finn," she said smiling sweetly. "How about you give me some information."
So I jumped into my story. How I had grown up in New York to my job down at the auto shop that I co-owned with my best friend. I told her everything as she listened to me.
As we keep talking about ourselves the bartender told us it was time for him to lockup I paid for the drinks and walked her out to her car.
"How about I give you my number and we do this again sometime," she said smiling at me.
I nodded as I handed her my phone so she could put her number in. "How about I take you out tomorrow night."
"Maybe," she said. She kissed me on the cheek then got into her car a drove away.
I watched as she drove and I smiled. I looked down at my phone and sent her a text to let her know that I needed her address and to be ready by 7.
