A Story

A Story It was a dark and stormy night, (I had to do it, who hasn't wanted to start a story that way?) which Gabrielle actually liked. She loved the energy of a storm, the electricity in the air with lightning and thunder providing the backdrop and soundtrack to the night. There was absolutely no way she wasn't going to this party. She spent 3 weeks crying and not wanting to get out of bed, another 6 weeks and counting going to her counselor and working on regaining her confidence and this was the goal. She really likes Amanda and wants to wish her well on her move to Taiwan and she wants to show off her newly toned and smoking hot body to the world. It was 8:21 when she pulled up in front of Amanda's sister's building. "Hmmm, nice condo and a great area." she thinks to herself as a very fine example of the male half of the species jogs by and smiles at her. "I could live in this part of the city." She walks towards the door when she see's the IT guy with the bow ties and his husband walk around the corner. "Crap he saw me...what's his name??? Come on Gabby use your hear." she says to herself. "Mark, that's it Mark." pops into her head as she stops holding her breath and takes a deep breath. "Hi Mark, how are you tonight?" she says smiling as the guys walk up. "I'm good, have you met my husband Tony?" "I think we met once before, nice to see you again." she says as she reaches out and shakes Tony's hand. "Yes, at the walk to end Alzheimer's, nice to see you as well. Shall we go in?" You smirk as Mark goes around to your left and Tony stays on your right. They take your arms and the three of you walk into the building. In the elevator Tony starts to chuckle. "I kept thinking about The Wizard of Oz while we walked in. Gabrielle is clearly Dorthy and I'm so afraid of everything I must be the lion. Mark, what does that make you? The party was nice, Amanda looked amazing and everyone seemed to have a good time but it was a disappointment on the flirting front. There was a grand total of 3 guys she didn't work with, and she had a strong belief that work and relationships don't mix. The first was Amanda's childhood neighbour. He had questionable hygiene, was 5'2" and had an unhealthy interest in the Kardashians. The second was a more appealing looking guy, clean, well dressed and upon initial impression interesting. Once he started talking about how he thought that Canada needed a Donald Trump and we needed to get rid of all those foreigner who are ruining our country. He didn't even get the irony that he was speaking with a Scottish accent and was proudly boasting about the old sod. Suddenly 5'2" Warren wasn't quite so unappealing. The third guy was interesting but he was clearly smitten with Amanda and hadn't really noticed anyone but her. "Hey Gorgeous, Mark and I are going to hit a club, wanna join us and see if we can find our Scarecrow? Mark wanted to be the Tin Man." Tony sang to her as he passed Gabrielle her coat. "Damn Girl, you look fine. Too bad you're a girl." The club was hopping. The line was starting outside but Tony knew someone so the three of you got to strut past the line and enter the club. The stage was at the far end of room as the trio, now quite tipsy, were led to a booth about halfway down the room but raised and with great sight lines of the stage. "Gabby, you've got it going on tonight." Mark said as he put his arm around Tony. "All the straight guys and most of the women and gay guys too, were checking out the sweetness you're showing." Gabby blushed and looked around the room...the boys had confirmed what she was thinking but was afraid to admit for fear of being wrong. She was rocking it and most of the people there were noticing and appreciating. It felt good, this was exactly what she needed. "You need more than a bit of flirting, you need to get laid." she heard inside her head. She was expecting it to be her inner devil but to her shock it was her inner angel. She visited with the guys, danced, had a few drinks and was thoroughly enjoying herself when she was handed a red envelope by one of the servers. "From the Gentleman in the green silk shirt" he said as he pointed towards the front of the bar. She scanned the area quickly and there were two green shirts she could see. A young guy who was draped all over a young woman and the bass player in the band. They were just about to start playing their final set as He espied her and smiled warmly and winked. She smiled back and sat down. Ripped open the envelope and read the note inside. Hi Gabrielle, I don't think you have recognized me yet but we once crossed paths and you have frequented my thoughts many times since. I was twitterpated when I was checking my<b> gear </font></b>and saw you. I would love to have a drink after I'm done my set and catch up. A blast from the past. X "Oh my fucking God." Gabrielle blurted out as she finished reading the note. "What's wrong, everything OK." Tony quickly replied as he reached over and put his hand on her shoulder. "No, its good, I think...just kind of surprising." Gabrielle blushed as she looked at the quizzical look on the guys faces. "The bass player is Xavier. I met him three days before I married my ex. I was sitting in a coffee shop and I guess I was crying because he came over to me and asked if I was going to be OK. Five hours later he walked me to my car, I kissed him deeply and passionately and then he was gone. I never gave him my number and I never had the guts to contact him. Now he's here. Fuck, what am I going to do?" she said as she looked at her colleague and his husband. "Fuck him you silly girl." came out of Tony's mouth before he even realized he was talking. Shall I continue??? |
