Boredom was setting in fast as I sat at a ritzy table in a ritzy restaurant, listening to my mother and sister chattering away with my girlfriend about things I had absolutely no interest in. We had gathered there, the four of us, to celebrate my sister's birthday and there was no way I could have gotten out of it.
Looking around the room, I spied a lovely young woman, perhaps in her early thirties, sitting about two tables down and one table over from me. She was looking right at me, and smiling. My adoring girlfriend was too busy gossiping with her in-laws to notice, so I smiled back.
I tried not to stare at her, so I made several furtive glances in her direction over the next few minutes, checking her out. She had honey blond hair, shoulder length, and large green eyes, and was wearing a filmy beige sleeveless wrap dress that revealed a fair amount of her ample cleavage. She was talking to a guy who was sitting with her, his back to me, and she didn't seem to be too happy. However, more than once she looked up and saw me gazing at her, and would smile each time.
When our drinks arrived, I put away the first one fairly quickly and asked for a second, and when that one had taken hold I was feeling more relaxed. I was still captivated by the young lady two tables away, but I tried not to look at her too much in deference to my present company. It was hard to avoid seeing her, as she was in my line of sight every time I looked up from my plate, and I would sometimes catch her looking my way and smiling.
After our dinners had been consumed, we decided to order dessert and some after-dinner drinks. I felt the call of nature, so I excused myself and got up from the table, and headed for the restrooms. What happened next was totally unexpected.
"Hi, there," a strange but sweet voice said from out of the shadows as I exited the men's room.
I looked to my left, and there in a darkened alcove was the girl that had been capturing my attention through most of dinner.
"Hi," I said shyly, noticing the way her dress flattered her curves, and the way her nipples were outlined in the gauzy fabric.
"Are you an adventurous person?" she asked, moving to stand right in front of me, looking up at me with her piercing green eyes.
"I like to think so, yes," I answered.
"Then come with me. We're going to have an adventure together. Right now."
She took my hand and led me down a hallway that ran away from the main dining room. Opening a door marked "Presidential Banquet Room" in fancy gold-leaf script, she looked inside. I looked with her, and saw a large, darkened dining room with a small bar at one end and a long serving counter at the other, with a dance floor and several tables and chairs in between.
"This will do just fine," she said as she entered, pulling me in by the hand and closing the door behind her. The room wasn't pitch darkβthere were a couple of small work lights on behind the bar, and as my eyes adjusted, I found I could see fairly well.
"What's your name?" I asked her as we walked, still hand-in-hand, over to the long food service counter, the girl-stranger leading the way.
"Uh-uh. No names. This is an adventure, acting out a fantasy. Weren't you fantasizing about me? I sure was about you."
