I hadn't gone out much lately. But my divorce had left me a little downtrodden, and I didn't have the kids this weekend, so I decided to suck down a few beers out at a local bar instead of getting drunk at home.
I was sitting at the bar when she came up to me. I am white and middle-aged, and although I made a decent living, I fit in pretty well with the locals at this hole-in-the wall. She, however, didn't seem to fit in well. She was a Halle Berry black, and could give her a run for her money. She had a short haircut and beautiful bronze skin. She was wearing a loose summer dress, and when she sat next to me, I snuck a peek and saw she wasn't wearing a bra.
"You look nice," she said.
I hesitated then replied, "Well you look nice too."
She ordered a beer, and then looked at me and sighed. "I'm looking for someone special tonight." She took a drink from her beer.
Like I said, I was downtown, and it occurred to me what might be happening. I said, "I'm sorry, but I'm not looking to pay for anything."
She laughed and took another swig. "That's OK. That's not what I'm talking about... Why don't you dance with me a little, and maybe we can see if you're up for what I'm thinking."
