It’s a Saturday night and he was at it again. Same story, same place, same style, same everything. He was a boring fellow but for some reason I kept coming back. He knew me too well - he knew what worked and he knew what could get me loose. It was something out of respect – at least that’s what I told myself. For days upon weeks – maybe even years – I couldn’t even find a moment where I wasn’t wondering what he might whip up next. He was the mastermind of so much.
But this was a different Saturday. Today he wanted to surprise me so I let him go at it.
“The usual?” he coyly muffled to me.
I shot back a bemused smirk.
“You know me better than that,” I impishly griped.
His eyes glinted.
It was then that I knew I was in trouble. Should’ve stopped before things went south.
“Sorry,” I told him.
“I really am.”
He seemed distraught. The gleam was gone.
His eyes tilted downward.
“All I wanted was a drink.”
