I had been at this bar many times, and the guys were always the same. I had the reputation for being untouchable, and every guy would try to touch me. It's not that I would fight them off, break any fingers or anything. It's just, I might dance with them, talk with them, but I would never really do anything with them. So that's what I was. I was a challenge, and that's how most guys spent their nights. Trying to get me.
It was on one of these nights I sat at the bar, my long legs crossed over each other, black heels dangling off my toes, my little black dress hugging me in all the right ways. When I had walked in that night, I could feel a difference in the air, a difference in the atmosphere. It all felt familiar.
"The guy at the end of the bar would like to buy you another drink," the bartender said to me. I looked down the bar, and saw a cute guy smiling at me. I smiled back at him, and lifted my drink to him in greeting. I looked down at the counter, and I knew he was getting up from his stool, his friends around him wishing him luck, for they all knew my reputation preceded me.
"Hey," He said while leaning against the counter.
"Hi," I said while smiling, "Thank you for the drink."
"Not a problem. I'd rather spend the money on a good looking girl rather than anyone else."
I chuckled a little bit, and shook my head a little in a way he wouldn't see. I'd heard the same line before. Maybe not the same words, but variations of the same one. It got old quick, but I wouldn't let him know that.
"Would you like to dance?" He asked me after a while, motioning towards the dance floor.
"That's sweet," I said to him, "But I'm not in the mood to dance. It was nice of you to offer." I pause a little, take a drink of my apple martini and say, "But if I want to dance, I'll let you know." And that was his queue to walk away, which, thank god, he did.
I don't particularly like having to tell people to leave me alone, so at times, I just look interested. I'm good friends with the bartender, so if it gets too bad, he'll help me out. But so far on this night, I didn't need his help.
I was sitting at the bar when I felt the atmosphere shift. It all felt familiar, a good familiar. I took a sip of my drink and looked around. Either someone I knew, and wanted, was around, or the alcohol was taking effect. So far, I didn't see anyone, so it must have been the alcohol. I turned back to the bar, and set my glass down on a thick napkin, fingering the edges of the thick paper cloth.
"Looking for someone?" the bartender, Sam, asked me.
"Not really," I say, shaking my head a little.
"Hmm," Sam said, "You think someone you know is here?"
"Feels like it, but I don't see anyone, so maybe I'm imagining it all." Sam shrugs and walks to the other end of the bar. And then that's when I felt it again. But stronger.
I could feel the hair on the back of my neck stand up. I felt as thought I was being watched, but not in a bad way. In a good way. That way you feel when you're standing across the room from someone, and you look at them, and they look you up and down, and make you feel sexier about yourself. That's how I felt at that moment. And there had only been one man in my life who could do that to me, without me seeing him.
I feel fingers brush my hair off my neck, breath make a tingle go down my spine, and kisses that make my heart beat faster.
"Hello Antonio," I say and look at the back wall over the rim of my drink.
"Hmm, haven't forgotten me, I see," You say into my neck, sending a shiver down my spine.
"Haven't forgotten your touch either," I say, swiveling around on my bar stool and smiling up at him, "It's been a while."
"It has been," you say to me, leaning on the bar.
I can't remember the last time I had been this close to you. You smell so good, like you always did. Your body emanated a warm sensual scent that always made me swoon over you, and still does now. I close my eyes, breathe in deeply and smile.
"How've you been?" You ask me.
"Good," I open my eyes slowly, giving you a look I know shows how much I want you, "How about yourself?"
"Could be better," You say, looking down at me.
"What do you mean?" I ask. I can see the guys at the end of the bar watch you in envy. I can hear them ask themselves, has he gotten the untouchable?
"Well," You say, your fingers softly running down my cheek. You caress my face and slowly run your fingers down my neck then you pull me towards you, "I could make it better right now."
You pull me towards you and my breath catches in my chest. Your lips are then on mine, practically taking my breath away and almost making my heart pound through my chest. The butterflies started in the bottom of my stomach, a rekindling of long lost feelings, but ones never forgotten.
I start to purr as the butterflies rise, and your soft lips leave mine. I slowly open my eyes and look up at you.
