Chapter 1
I was sitting at the bar when I notice a lithe redhead enter the establishment. I've been in here an hour and I haven't seen a woman who is as well dressed as she is. Hey, she says as she walks over to sit by me, Is this seat taken? she asked. Yeah, I say, by you. She smiles at my smartass comment and sits down. A scotch for the lady I tell the bartender. She holds out her hand for me to shake and tells me her name is Rowena. Nice, I say and my name is Gabriel I tell her and we shake hands. The bartender brings over her scotch and sets it down, anything else for you folks he asked. No, I replied we’re good. We talked and drank for a while and I suggested that we go and dance. Sure Rowena said, I'd love to. Suddenly a slow song comes on and I offer her my hand.
Such a gentleman she comments. Not always but I like to try. I smirk as she takes my hand and leads me over to the dance floor. I place one of my hands on her hip and I take her hand with the other as she puts one of her hands on my shoulder. We waltz around for a bit and then she says she has to go. As we walk out the door I make my move. I look down as if asking permission. She nods her head and tilts her head up slightly as she smirks. I slowly lean my head down and kiss her. To my surprise, she actually kissed me back and when we pulled away she gave me her number and then got into her cab and told me to call her before it pulled away.
