“That top is not sexy, Sarah.” Jane frowned.
“I don’t want to look too sexy.”
“There is no such thing as too sexy, Sarah.” She grinned at me and held the top up. “Let’s make a compromise then, no bra.”
“No bra?” I screeched. “Are you joking?”
“Sarah, this is New York. And this top is too low-cut to look good with a bra.”
“I don’t wanna be popping out, Jane.” I pleaded with her. “It’s not like I am flat chested.”
“It’ll be fine, Sarah.” She laughed. “Change now and I’ll do your makeup and hair.”
I groaned and changed quickly. I looked at myself in the mirror and flushed. My boobs looked huge in the top and the cut made it look like they could pop out at any time.
“Sexy.” She grinned at me. “Plus, you know he’ll eat it up. You’ll drive him crazy with desire and have him begging you for another date.”
“Ha.” I laughed but something in me clicked. It would be nice to have Bradley wanting me. That would teach him. He was so cocky and full of himself. I’d have some fun with him tonight, make him think he was going to get some and then go home. That would show him. I laughed again, this time with a lot more joy. “Okay, make me up, Jane.”
She squealed with delight and ran to get her flatiron and makeup kit. By the time she was done with me, I looked like a sleek blonde bombshell. “You look amazing, Sarah.” She grinned. “He is going to be eating out of your hands.”
“Yeah.” I frowned and looked at my phone. “But he hasn’t called me yet. Maybe he changed his mind?”
Jane shook her head. “He’ll call.” And then as if on cue, my phone rang.
“Hello,” I answered the phone sounding bored, though my heart was beating with a strange excitement. I tried to ignore the feeling.
“Sarah?”
“Bradley?”
“Yes.” He chuckled. “It’s Bradley.”
“Can I help you?” I spoke in a prim voice and Jane looked at me oddly.
“Meet me in the Village at Bucks.” He didn’t ask so much as order me.
“Ok.” I had no idea where it was but I figured I could look it up on Yelp.
“When can you be there?”
“In an hour.” I figured that is how long the trains would take to get me out of Brooklyn and into Manhattan.
“Okay. I’ll see you there.” And he hung up. I took the phone away from my ear annoyed. I couldn’t stand it when guys were abrupt with me. Who did he think he was? I was even more determined to be a big tease and then leave him.
“Are you guys still going out?” Jane questioned me.
“Yeah. I’m meeting him in the city. Help me look up the place.” We went over to my laptop and pulled up the address on Yelp.
“Wow, swanky,” Jane commented as we looked at the photos and reviews. “That’s a nice place for a first date. I don’t know many guys that would take me there.” She sighed wistfully.
“Yeah, me either.” I didn’t bother adding on that most guys we dated were too young to even consider going for a drink at someplace that didn’t have dollar beers. “Anyway, I better go. I’ll see you later.” I gave her a quick hug and rushed out of the door.
I arrived at Bucks an hour and half later. The A train had been delayed and I hadn’t known how else to get there. I ran from the subway to Bucks and arrived extremely out of breath. I looked around when I walked in and saw Bradley sitting in a booth with a hot blonde. She looked like a model and I studied her jealously. I knew I was cute but I was never going to be a model. She started laughing at something Bradley said and reached her hand over to touch his arm. Surprisingly, he removed her hand from his arm and shifted away from her slightly. I was surprised. I would have thought he would have been all over the lady. I studied him from where I stood, he was wearing jeans and a white shirt and in the dark light, he looked younger than I remembered. He looked up, saw me then, and called me over. I walked slowly blown away by the warm smile he had given me when he saw me.
He stood up and looked me up and down before giving me a hug. “You look good enough to eat,” he whispered in my ear as he held me close to him. I felt my br**sts pushed against the hardness of his chest and enjoyed the warmth of his body next to mine.
“You look like you are well occupied.” I gave him a tight smile as I withdrew from him reluctantly.
“Sarah, meet Alexandria. Alexandria, meet Sarah.” He introduced me to the model and I smiled at the lady, who just looked me up and down dismissively and then stood up. She reached over and kissed Bradley on the cheek. “Call me,” she said to him and then walked away. I watched her go, happy to be alone with Bradley.
“What would you like to drink, Sarah?” Bradley called over a waiter and ordered himself a scotch on the rocks.
“Uhm, Malibu Sprite, please.” I ordered a drink, even though I had told myself that I wasn’t going to drink that evening.
“So Sarah, are you going to tell me what you do at Zoom?” He smiled at her softly and adjusted his position in the seat so that his thigh was resting against mine.
“No.” I smiled at him sweetly and attempted to move away from him.
“Ok.” He smiled. “So what shall we talk about?” He moved closer to me once again and I felt him running his fingers up and down my thigh.
“You decide. You invited me.” I put my hand down on his to stop him from trailing it up and down my leg. I was starting to enjoy the feel of it too much and I didn’t want to let him think he could get whatever he wanted from me.
“So, tell me about yourself,” he whispered in my ear. I jumped when I felt his tongue slide in and out of my ear canal.
“Uhm, what are you doing?” I looked at him in shock, though I was starting to feel turned on.
“I just wanted to see if your ear was as sweet as your mouth.” He grinned at me and I felt butterflies shoot through my stomach.
“That’s not really appropriate is it?” I looked at him sternly.
“We’re both adults, right?” He grinned at me and started running his fingers up and down my thigh again. He looked into at my face and then deliberately let his gaze fall to my heaving br**sts. “You have beautiful br**sts.” He licked his lips. “Are they real?”
“Of course they’re real,” I shot out. “What do you think I am? A two-bit Barbie?”
