He leans into me and whispers in my ear "I've missed you" with his most sincere tone - As I cringe "You look great." He says, as he stares - almost hypnotized by me. (If I could equate his performance to anything it would be to a really bad Spanish soap opera or like a really bad Bay Watch episode. It's so hard to watch bad acting and worse to actually be a party to it.) "Uh-huh." What a creep. As he is leaning in to me, smelling, quite literally, and, well, not as good as me and more like, well, 5 beers and quite obviously leaning in to smell my perfume - trying his absolute best to be the seducer that he wants to be and to meet the expectations of his posse standing by - because he has to live up to his constant locker-room boasting... "You smell great too" "Uh-huh - thank you" He leans in further and asks "Is that your perfume or did you always smell this great?" he asked so genuinely So captivated by me and my personal scent As he leaned in to me, he was actually very strategically placed... Looking over my shoulder to give my best friend a wink. Of course, he didn't realize that I realized that he was doing it. What he also didn't realize is that she realized that I realized it as she realized it and at the end of the evening... We compared notes. Quite humorously, his girlfriend of 4 years showed up later that evening. It was remarkable. His behavior changed dramatically. For one thing, he stopped professing his undying love for me. And for another, he finally took his hand off of my best friend's ass. As we were catching up with her, she announced their engagement. However, she didn't think that she was announcing any new "news" Because we had just spent the last several hours catching up with her "fiancé" before she arrived. Ring finger in the air, waving around her trophy (well earned if you ask me -living with that philandering middle-aged, second-rate casanova jack-ass with his bad black hair dye, his cheap belt and shoes and his worthless wannabe Al Pacino ass - not to mention all his lies and indiscretions) "He found these two diamonds on the internet and this one in the Bahamas while we were on our cruise." "Hmm, very pretty", I said "So, you two just recently got engaged" "Yes" she said, "two weeks ago" As he stood there silently looking at his shoes My best friend quite pointedly turned to her and paused Then looked at him and paused "Funny", she said dryly "When I asked him what was new, he seemed to have left that part out" |
