One night stand

She took another sip of her Cosmo before finally taking a step away from her table and slowly towards the bar. Stopping just a few steps short, she turned and looked at the girls, searching for some sort of acknowledgment or support. They gave her the thumbs ups and urged her forward.

She took one big breath and lightly tapped my shoulders. I turned around puzzled.

Hi?

Hi.. I am trying to get a drink, but the bartender seems too occupied to notice me.. *pouts* I was wondering if you could.. *shrug*

Okay, I swear it's the pouting. She just looks so incredibly cute when she does that, and it hit me at my weakest spot. It was all dreamy after that and I was smitten. There was some small talk, some light flirting, some drinks arrived, and soon she went off with the Cosmo I paid for in one hand, and a napkin with my number on the other.

The girls cheered like she was a general returning from a glorious battle. She toasted with them while waving the napkin like a victory trophy, as if it was the head of the fallen treacherous king. Then she casually flicked the prized memento over her shoulders.

That was crazy! I swear I am never playing truth or dare with you girls ever again!

And yes, I spent yet another one night stand-ing in the midst of the fun and buzz, in the heartbeat of this crazy city I call home.
