So here i was, happily sitting with my chilled lemony drink (alcoholic of course) gossiping away, laughing rambunctiously (as i always do) and he ambles (yes.. AMBLES) over and asks in the most delicious accent;
"Is it ok if i sit down?" he smiled
I nod dumbly
"sureeeee" still nodding dumbly
we looked at each other and shrugged. we're at a bar, of course guys would walk over and start talking. but its a Friday night, very very packed and very very noisy. how the hell did he see us (ok see me) sitting in the corner booth?
"so, where are you from? you dont sound local"
my mind was going what the fuck? he HEARD us talking? was i that loud? and at the same time, he asked just me. ME!! he dint look at her.. interesting..
"no, im not from around here.. where are you from?"
play it cool.. play it cool! (all this happening while the world is getting louder and louder around us) and then he leans in closer and smiles. GOD, he smells good!
"I'm from France, actually from Paris." that smile again
"oh cool. all the way here.. on holiday?" (in my head: what the fuck-are-you-talking-about!! oh my god. get a grip! seriously!)
"aczhually, im here on business.. something bla bla bla something" (i blame the temperature of the environment/moment for the blank stare he must have seen on my face, all i was looking at here these deep dark chocolate brown eyes..)
about now i realize, he did not even look at her, he glanced at her (she was sitting across from me) but continued talking to me. i could tell she was getting bored or worse, wondering why he was still talking to me and not her.
dont get me wrong, im not the kind of woman who would be smug about these things. usually people talk to the whole group or to someone in the group and make the effort to talk to everyone in the group.. and very rarely would i strike a conversation with a total stranger, but hey, its a bar, it tends to get.. squeezy. we (yes, just me and Mr Smile) continue talking about work, weather and of course i had to bring up his accent.
"You speak very well for a Frenchman.. almost perfect"
"Ah, well, the French dont normally speak English, we are a proud country and French is our national language.. bla bla bla" (at this point, i was just staring dumbly (again) into his eyes and his mouth. oh god, i need a sip of drink to cool down. is it just me or is this room getting warmer?)
about now, she gets up to go to the toilet, or to pretend to go to the toilet. he barely looks up, i raised my eyebrows and she shrugged. ok, so im alone with this guy. and damn he is kinda hot. maybe its my alcohol soaked 'goggles' but this guy is seriously smokin'. that or im just horny. and a little bit stoked that he 'ambled' up to me, me of all the ladies in the bar.
we continue talking about what else is there to do in this city, where to go and where the sea is (dont ask me why, i had incoherent thoughts at this point)
i look down and i had finished my highball already. i must have continued sipping like an idiot the entire time we were talking (this is barely 20 minutes!!) i reached for my cigarettes and he said;
"can i buy you another drink no?"
"no no, ive had enough, i have been drinking since 7, thank you though.."
"not ah even ah howd you say a coke? or ah an ice lemon tea?" (imagine this in the sexiest accent.. EVER!)
"no, thank you, but i think we're going soon"
she had come back from the toilet and gave me the look. this meant, lets go! im bored. NOW!
so we got our bill, paid and i said;
"it was nice to meet you, have a good time tonight!" (i told him which bar street to go to in town)
and i smiled.
"no no, thank you. are you sure you dont want to come? *smile*
(oh my god..yes yes yes!)
"no .. no, we better go. bye now..
as we walked out, i said;
"he was kind hot yea?"
"nooo way! whats up with the randomness of talking to us.. bla bla bla urgh, i dont feel well. i shouldnt have.. bla bla bla" (i blanked out by the time we got out of the bar, i had my small secret smile on and thinking of Mr Smile)
this guy.. he ambled over, he talked to me, he almost bought me a drink (if i were not too zonked from work and with a chirpier person, i would have had another drink and another drink and maybe 4 more drinks and then some. ok maybe not..)
seriously, the sexiest accent ever!
-true story*- because it just happened and i have to blog about it. i will never forget those eyes, and of course, the smile :)
