He looks at me with lust in his eyes. The stench of beer and Korea is in the air. "You are beautiful, I've wanted you since the first time I saw you." He says in between his chugs of lukewarm beer. He doesn't even know me. "I heard you were engaged or some shit..." He manages to spit out, he can't even look me in my eyes. I take a drag from my menthol Marlboro light, sip my vodka, "No, Unfortunately I got dumped today." I try to hold back the tears, years in the making. He laughs, "Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. That's too bad...Well its good for me." Inconsiderate prick. I smile, laugh, brush aside my pain. I am an old pro at suppressing emotions. I hearned from the best. He looks at me with lust in his eyes, undressing me with his eyes. Too bad for me, good for him. In this moment, I feel wanted, validated. Never underestimate the power of a drunk guy hitting on you. |
