Role-play!

I really haven't had the taste of actual dating since I'm in a seven year relationship with my best friend. So, to make things interesting he suggested that he would try to pick me up at a bar. The timing for this suggestion couldn't have been more perfect since I was visiting his city for a conference. After I was done for the day, I took a hot shower and got dressed into an outfit I spent hours deliberating over at home. Actually it didn't matter what I was wearing tonight, I knew I was going to get lucky. But I wanted it to be perfect.


I went down and sat at the hotel bar scanning the crowd. He comes up from behind dressed sharp in a black blazer and says "Excuse me, could I interest you with a glass of wine?"
I say yes and he takes the seat next to me.
Then he asks me "Please don't mind me asking. Are you a really shy person?"
This actually took me by surprise. I answered "No, but why do you ask?"
He gave me a devilish grin and said, "Well, I've been sitting across you for the past twenty minutes and you haven't come over to talk to me"
I laugh at his cute attempt and tell him "I want you to know that I'm in a relationship".
He smiled and said "Oh. I got bitten by a dog when I was a kid."
"What?" I asked confused.
"Oh, I though we were talking about all things irrelevant."
I was floored by his cheeky replies and confidence. 
"I'm Adam by the way, and I'm assuming you're not Eve" he said. (Hmmm...fake name, thats even hotter)
"I'm Ananya. Although, my friends do call me Eve at times"
"Haha! Thats a pretty name, Ananya. Ok tell me something, what do you think happened there?" he said pointing to the couple fighting nearby. I smile, there is always a couple fighting next to us. Balance of the universe, we called it. 
"Well  I think he made fun of her 'I heart Beiber' chain", I said, pointing to her piece of jewelry. He laughs.
"So, what do you do, Adam?" I ask him.
"I create security systems for various companies."
"You mean like banks and museums?"
"Yes. I however am not allowed to talk about my clients. Confidentiality is of great value in what what I do."
"Oh, so you're like the anti-Danny Oceans."
"Something like that. So what does a guy have to do to get a beautiful woman to accompany him for desert? "
"Ask." I said as he extended his arm out. "Desert? Know any nice place?" I ask as i take his arm and we make our way out of the bar.
"Yes, of course. There is this lovely place, only the privileged can get in. Its called 606." He smiled as he sneakily took out a shiny key card. "And looks like we're the lucky ones tonight."
