“Tabetha there’s a
couple of really cute guys coming this way.”
“Come find me when
they give up and leave.” She started to stand, not wanting
to deal with any more lame pick up lines tonight. Only the
annoyed tone in Kathy’s voice stopped her from walking away.
“Dammit, Tabs, sit
your ass down; don’t you dare do this to me. Not this time!
At least look at them before you decide to make your escape.
Don’t you want to know what they look like?”
No! The thought
formed before she could stop it, she really didn’t want to
do this today. Slowly sitting back in her seat, Tabetha
sighed in defeat. A knowing grin spreading across her face
as understanding of Kathy’s forceful demand washed over her.
Taking a sip of her drink so that her friend wouldn’t notice
she asked. “Which one are you interested in?”
“What? How? Dammit
Tabetha, don’t do that to me. How the hell did you know
anyway?”
Tabetha put her
drink back on the table and looked up at her very best
friend. “You called me Tabs. You only call me that when
you’re about to ask me to do something you know I really
won’t like.”
“Please be nice to
them,” Kathy begged.
Tabetha knew she was
stalling for time. “Which one Kathy? I’m not agreeing or
looking over until I know who I have to be nice to.”
“The blonde.” The
words came out in a rush, a bright red blush spreading
across her cheeks.
Must be serious,
Tabetha thought swallowing back another grin. Wait a sec…
“Blonde? But you never--”
Curiosity got the
better of her; she had to check out this blonde. She looked
over her shoulder and saw the most attractive male specimen
she’d ever laid eyes on. He was tall, about 6”2’ if she was
any judge, with the most stunning blue eyes she had ever
seen, sea blue, she realized with a start, her favorite
color. His hair, a dark mahogany color, made the clearness
of his blue eyes stand out even more. All bound together in
a fit and toned package that made her want to run her hands
and lips over every single inch. Wondering if he was
properly proportioned everywhere, she felt a hot blush creep
up her cheeks at the thought, and wondered briefly why Kathy
would ever think he was blonde?
“Good lord that man
is gorgeous.” She hissed louder than expected.
Kathy smiled at her
knowingly. “Thought you might say that. You were referring
to tall, dark and sexy right?”
“You mean to tell me
there was more than just the one man there?” Her eyes never
strayed from the God heading her way.
“Tabetha? Earth to
Tabetha.”
Tabetha snapped out
of the trance this man's appearance put on her when Kathy
waved a hand in front of her face. There was something about
him that appealed to her, pulled her in, made her want to
see more. She couldn’t put her finger on it, but right now
she didn’t care. “I’m sorry, Kat, remind me not to do that
again. It’s like looking straight into the sun. You know you
shouldn’t, but you can’t seem to help yourself.”
