She sat at the bar sipping her martini, slowly surveying the crowd at the popular downtown bar. There were the usual suspects - men out to just enjoy a beer and play a little pool, scantily clad women hoping to draw their attention away from the beer and pool, and the men on the prowl. One such man drew her attention. He was sitting at a table across the room with two other men. He looked to be mid-twenties, sandy blond hair cropped short, and a stocky frame. She was too far away to notice what color his eyes were, but she did notice that they were all over her.
She turned back to her martini with a small smile. She knew she looked good tonight. She had fluffed her red blond curls to just the right amount of volume without looking like Dolly Parton, and she was dressed to kill. In her low cut blouse that matched the exact blue of her eyes, her small but firm B-cup breasts looked good enough to eat. Being six feet tall, any skirt would look short on her, so she didn't have to try too hard to show some of her nicely toned and tanned legs, and the black midi length she had chosen showed them off to perfection. To complete her outfit, she had chosen a pair of black, low-heeled knee-high boots. Of course, being as tall as she was, she was also hard to miss, but she took pride on being noticed for reasons other than height.
As she looked back at the table where her admirer sat, she saw that he had stood up and was now striding purposefully towards her. She delighted in that fact that he was at least a good four inches taller than her. She hated it when she got hit on by men shorter than her, she always felt so awkward.
"Hello, may I have the pleasure of buying your next drink?" he asked the minute he stopped by her stool. He grinned at her, and she noticed a dimple popping out in his left cheek. She had no choice; she was a sucker for dimples.
"Only if you join me for it," she replied with a smile of her own. She had been told by many people that her smile was a thing of beauty. She had a generous mouth, with full lips which spread to show beautifully straight white teeth. She personally liked her eyes, as the almond shape and deep blue color made her face appear angelic. Now that he was close enough, she saw that his eyes were an unusual slate gray, and were at the moment sparkling at her reply.
"To tell you the truth, I was hoping for that response," he chuckled as he sat down on the stool that had just been vacated next to her. "I'm Darren."
"Nice to meet you, Darren, I'm Alyssa."
For the next fifteen minutes, they sat at the bar and talked. They talked about what they did, what they wanted to do, and what they wanted to be. It was one of those connections where it seemed that you could talk about anything without even having to think about it at all. During a lull in the conversation, Alyssa heard her favorite song come over the jukebox in the corner.
"Let's dance," she said, and without waiting for an answer, she grabbed Darren's hand and pulled him through the crowd to the middle of the small dance floor. She turned around to face him and wrapped her arms around his neck, fitting her body snugly against his. She marveled at the fact that he was the perfect height for her; she could rest her head in the spot between his chin and his neck, which she felt was the sexiest part on a man's body.
