She walked towards me
and placed her hand
upon my chest...

she asked
if I was alone tonight,
she asked
if I could buy her a drink,
she asked
if I like the club
she asked
if I like the song
she asked
if I wanted to dance...

We struggled through the crowd
of bleach blondes
in black leather pants
and baby tees...
We tried to breath through
the staunch smell
of CK and DEP gel...

I pulled her close...

She asked me
if I could pull her closer,
she asked me
if I could hold her tighter,
she asked me
if I could kiss her gently,
she asked me
if I could take her home tonight...

I staggered into
my dimly lit kitchen
My wife was drinking coffee
reading the morning paper
I set my unused fishing gear on the floor
and quickly fixed myself a cup...

She asked me
If I had a good night...

Very intresting....and the ending was most un expected. Real or not....this is something that happens to both men and women...a situation many have been in.  Great write....I liked the twist.
