I Can't Stay Away
Part 2
By the end of her routine, I was hooked. So engrossed was I in everything that was her, that I didn't even register the roaring sound of applause until it started fading away.
"Well…" I heard Summer say, "That was interesting"
"Yeah" I replied softly, "She was good…"
It wasn't until I heard her chuckle that I turned towards her and saw the very amused grin she was wearing. "It wasn't her I was referring to" she stated.
"What're you talking about?" I asked, trying to sound annoyed. But of course, it didn't take a genius to figure out what she was referring to. And to further emphasize my point, she chuckled again.
"I'm talking about you practically drooling over blondie"
"I wasn't drooling!" I exclaimed indignantly (although truthfully, I wouldn't really be surprised if she told me I had in fact been drooling).
"No, thank heavens. That would've meant you were like every single guy in here" she stated while motioning around the club with her hand, "You were slightly more discreet"
Knowing there was no point in arguing, I decided to ask, "Why did you ask her to find us?"
And of course, her grin only widened as she replied, "Don't you want her to?"
I gulped. What the hell was I supposed to say? "I umm…"
"Look Coop, to be honest, I really didn't think you were gonna find anything here. I know you're not the rebound type so I figured you'd just be pissed and complain until we left and I thought that'd be enough to keep your mind off Ryan, at least for tonight… Needless to say, this is much better"
"How so?" I asked meekly. It's not like I didn't know. It's just that this whole thing was still a bit confusing and I needed her to clear it up for me. I mean, what was she expecting me to do?
Summer must've understood as her expression softened while she held my hand affectionately.
"Did you think of Ryan while you were watching her?" she asked, "Tell me you weren't completely captivated by her. That you weren't attracted to her. That you didn't consider the possibilities…"
"Possibilities?!" I asked. What is she suggesting? Then it clicked. "YOU WANT ME TO SLEEP WITH HER?!" I asked in shock. It had come out a bit louder than I had meant it to, but what the hell?! She wanted me to sleep with a girl!!
And of course, she chuckled (yet again). "I don't want you to do anything you don't want to do" she said, "I'm just listing your options…"
"Which are?"
"Well, you can loosen up a bit and see where the night takes you or you can go home and mope and never know what could've been…"
She was right. Of course she was right. But still this was new to me on more than one level.
I've never been the one night stand kinda girl. The mere thought of sleeping with someone I've just met appalls me. I mean seriously, think of the risks… So was I really considering changing that for a girl?
"I don't know Summ…"
"Look, she's coming here one way or another, so you might as well take advantage of it. To what extent is completely up to you."
I nodded and nothing else was said. We remained quiet for a while. I guess Summer was giving me time to process everything.
I was finishing my second drink when I heard her say, "I hope you've made up your mind cause here she comes" and surprisingly I managed not to choke. I did however tense up as I slowly turned in my seat. Panic took over me as the reality of the situation kicked in. She was an exotic dancer. A beautiful girl who men craved and didn't mind paying highly for the pleasure of having her company (among other things). Could she see me as anything other than a paying costumer? Would she want to see me as anything else?
But none of these questions were answered as I was suddenly pulled back into reality by a sultry voice saying, "Good evening ladies"
God I love the sound of her voice…
"Good evening" Summer purred oh so seductively while crossing one leg over the other, "Glad you could make it"
"My pleasure" she replied as she raised her beer to her lips for a drink, "I must admit you two are a breath of fresh air…"
"Oh really?!" Summer asked teasingly, "Care to elaborate on that?"
"Well… to tell you the truth, I was beginning to get bored by the never-ending amount of testosterone overflowing in here…" she stated matter-of-factly with an innocent shrug, "But you didn't hear it from me" she added with a mischievous grin.
"Well then our lips are sealed" Summer replied with a matching grin.
I had been quiet throughout their whole flirtatious conversation, just shocked by how casual they made the whole thing sound. It was as if this were all a routine. But my ears instantly perked up when Summer asked, "So what's your name?" And at that moment it seemed like the most important question in the world and I waited patiently for her reply.
"Alex" the blonde simply stated.
