I was chasing the dragon there. The lady dragon.
-Her teeth are sharp but her tongue is sweet. She likes you when she likes herself. Her skin is soft and her eyes are sirens. Her heart is a guillotine door.-
God. Went to the pound on Monday. It was heartbreaking. There were so many dogs. Puzzle wasn't there. On the way out I lost it and started balling in front of everyone. Had to get back to the job (street casting with Jane Brody). Three hours later, Starbuck's Spinach and Feta Wrap is a must.
The barista.. is.. Cute.
Boy: "Hello" (You're cute).
Girl: "Hi there" (So are you). I'm in the market for a sandwich (Jesus, I like your eyes), Know any good ones (Do you have a boyfriend?).
Girl: "The spinach feta wrap is fantastic" (What boyfriend?)
Boy: "Perfect" (I like you)
Girl: Is this for here or to go? (I like you too!)
Boy: Oh, it's to go (I'm quite the catch)
Girl: That's 3.57 (Take off your clothes)
-Boy hands girl debit card (Come home with me?)
Girl swipes card, bats eyes (I'm off at ten)
Boy waits at the end of the counter watching girl. Girl smiles at boy while serving next customer, trips over words.
Girl gives boy sandwich: "There you go!" (You better come back and ask me out.)
Boy: Thank you (I will)
Girl swoons, boy swoons.
An hour later we wrap for the day. I go back and introduce myself. We're smiling, ignoring customers and employees... they watch the dance.
I get nervous all sudden like and instead of asking her for her number, I just invite her to our next show. She says "So you're a musician." By the look in her eye this information was a serious deal breaker due to a previous relationship with a musician that went horribly wrong. "I have to look you up, Jon"
She smiled and I left.
Point: I forgot my sexy powers. Nice to use them again. Regardless of fumble.
Thank you for your story Sue.
