_____Angela looks for a place to sit while you brave the crowd at the bar. It takes a few minutes, but you finally emerge with the drinks, another rum and Coke for you, a ginger ale for her. Angela has found a table in the back corner. After toasting each other, the conversation picks up where it left off. "So what else have you heard about me?"
_____Caressing her glass, Angela leans forward. "Hmm, how can I say this nicely? You aren't exactly relationship material."
_____So that's what people are saying behind your back. It's time to find another hangout spot. "I let women know what I'm about up front, but some still get hurt and I'm branded a player. You still interested?"
_____"Not everyone is looking for a girlfriend. My job damn near requires me to be single. All I do is hop from hotel to hotel."
_____"Really?. What do you do?" Half of your drink is gone and you have yet to taste a hint of rum.
_____Angela slowly sips her soda, her tongue playing with the umbrella. "My company holds workshops for business executives who are intimidated by modern technology. In other words I teach a bunch of old men how to open their email."
_____"I'm in a similar line of work. You teach computers, I fix them." Your hand grazes Angela's and, when there is no resistance, you begin to stroke it openly. " If you are feeling lonely, Ms. Globetrotter, I know how to fix that, too."
_____"It can get lonely. Sometimes, a woman needs a serious fucking--one without complicated attachments. Can you deliver?"
_____You raise Angela's left hand to your lips and begin kissing her palm. This woman is yours for the taking. You are about to suggest going back to Angela's room, when you notice Carla, walking in with someone else.
_____Carla has had a crush on you since the day you met, but you've never given her the time of day. Now, here she is on another woman's arm. Are those pangs in your stomach jealousy?
_____ Angela is the kind of woman you have been looking for--someone who can differentiate between physical and emotional needs. Still, the thought of someone else being Carla's first just irritates the hell out of you.
