She walks into the room, tight black skirt, pale blouse, black silk stockings, and killer heels. Every man in the room turns to stare. She wears her beauty like a shield, blue eyes distant, a small smile playing about her lips. She crosses to the bar, and sits, her eyes on the bartender. He rushes to her, eager to serve this pale beauty. Softly whispered words and he is away, only to return with her drink, and the words..." its taken care of" She crosses her legs while running her tongue around the rim of her glass, The temperature in the room seems to have gone up a bit. The band gets into its next session...slow sexy love songs. She waits, knowing whats about to take place. "Excuse me, but would you like to dance?" She turns to face him. Honey brown eyes meet ice blue. She is surprised. This is not the one she expected. With a smile she extends her hand, and he helps her from her seat. His hand in the small of her back, he gently guides her through the crowded room to the equally crowded dance floor. She turns to face him, one hand stealing up to caress the back of his neck, the other held close to his chest. Thigh, hip, and chest meet as they are pushed closer together by the crush on the dance floor. He whispers softly in her ear "Thank you"..."for what?"she says. " For saying yes." She tips her head back and smiles, really smiles into those brown eyes. "Thank you for asking." They sway together, unable to do much more than that. She feels his heart race and wonders at it. He breathes the scent of her hair, delicate and sensual. For the space of a song they are somewhere other than this crowded bar. The music stops and he is slow to let her go. Looking down he says" Do you believe in FATE?" "Why?" she asks as they move off the dance floor. "I am supposed to be hundreds of miles from here," he says, " School starts in three days and it was my intention to leave today to get myself settled in. But a friend said meet him tonight. Lets have one last night before you go." "Where is your friend?" "He called to say he couldnt make it. I was just on my way out the door when you walked in..." "And you think it was fated we meet?...and dance?" "I knew as soon as I saw you...as did you when you looked in my eyes." Was it FATE? Was it DESTINY? Will she stay? You decide... You write your ending I will write mine... [This message has been edited by Paula Finn (edited 08-19-2000).] |

Paula! You have a great story going here. I think we have another storyteller among us! Don't forget that you can now submit prose to the main site. I enjoyed this and look forward to your ending and the others that take up this challenge!  |
