Fatal Attraction!!

The first time that I saw Cynthia, she was laughing. It was laughter, unlike anything that I had seen before, filled with excitement and magnetism. I could feel the attraction drawing my eyes through the crowd, searching for that special lady. Then, I found her. I saw immediately that the laughter was genuine. It not only projected through the air, but visible in all of her mannerism.

She was sitting at a table with two other ladies. Among them, she was a goddess sitting among mortals. Her beauty was beyond description. The long brown curls framed her angelic face. Her deep green eyes were the center piece of the picture, twinkling and sparkling with excitement, showing a deep level of happiness and contentment from the deepest parts of her soul. To compliment the rest of the face, her lips were covered with a light red lipstick. They begged for a kiss.

I sat terrified in the corner of the small cafe and watched. She was so animated when she talked. I could almost include myself into the conversation just by watching her hand motions. She was so alive. Even though, I knew that she would look down that wonderful nose of hers and tell me to go eat worms. Her beauty was pulling me, tugging at me to talk to her.

I slowly stood up from my half eaten sandwich to allow myself to be pulled to her, but my fears grabbed me and sit me down again. Looking down at myself, I knew that I had nothing to be ashamed of. I was an average looking guy, with a typical polo shirt and jeans. Yet, that was the trouble. I was average. She was a goddess.

Her image was already burned into my brain. No matter how hard that I tried, I could not get her image out of my mind... So, I just stood up and started to walk towards where she sat with her friends (...God bless makers of Red Label wine).

I walked up to their table!

‘Mind if I join you ladies’ I asked. There were 3 of them. My eyes were only fixed on Cynthia

‘Not at all’, they chorused.

I made direct eye contact with Cynthia

‘Hi, I’m Danny’

"Cynthia, my name is Cynthia," she responded.

She then went ahead to introduce her other friends. I can’t even remember their names!

‘Your middle name must be beautiful, right?’ I joked! (Well, not exactly)

Cynthia smiled the biggest smile that I had ever seen. It was warm and soft.

I took a deep breath. I had to bring myself under control. I needed to be relaxed and confident. Women always like confident men. I laughed at myself. Now I was talking to myself. This was so ridiculous. I had dated dozen of women. Here I was feeling like a teenager on his first date.

‘I hope you don’t mind but we were about leaving before you came over’ her voice jolted me back to reality.

I silently cursed myself for waiting so long before making the move. Inwardly I was fuming. How do I get her number, in a polite manner without revealing anything!

As if she read my mind, she gave me her card, her business card.

‘There’s a beach party cum boat rides this Saturday, call me’ she said and then left with her friends.

I glance at the card. She’s an estate agent, even better. I love independent ladies!

At the BEACH, a lot of things went down...STAY TUNED!!
