Life in Las Vegas
"I'm older than you think. In fact you're probably not more
than five years older than me." She chuckled, as one of the
other patrons who was standing nearby joined in.
"It isn't usual to hear a woman bragging about how old she is.
Do you always have this effect on people, Mr. Black Hat?" A
woman of about thirty with long red hair commented.
"I do seem to cause some extreme reactions in many situations.
I guess it must be because I'm a REAL red-head! Ha-ha."
"I suppose you want to see if I'm a REAL red-head." She smiled
with a wicked and mischievous grin that Bob returned, just as
Sean came back and stood between them.
"I can't leave you alone for a minute; can I Bob? SO who is
this beauty you've struck up an acquaintance with? My name is
Sean." Sean was shaking her hand as she looked him over. "I had
been thinking he was your father, but now I see you are much
better looking and he couldn't be related to YOU! My name is
Bonnie Brown, and I love that accent!"
"Bonnie was just suggesting that I might want to know what even
her hairdresser doesn't. Maybe you could take her up on that
offer." Bob was close to laughing out loud.
"I was not! He is a 'rude dude', why don't we go sit somewhere
else Sean?" Bonnie responded angrily.
"Please, Sean. See what she wants. I'm OK here for a while.
Take your drink with you." Bob held his drink out for Sean to
take.
"Bonnie, I don't know why the two of you choose to be doing
what you are doing. I would be happy to talk with you and
explore the possibilities but I don't see any reason to make
enemies. If I get him to promise not to be rude will you stay
and continue our discussion?"
"You look and sound so DELICIOUS. I would do anything for you!
Why don't we go out to my car and discuss it in private?" "I
think I see why Bob was acting the way he was Bonnie. I'm sure
there are lots of people who would be happy to take you up on
your offer. I am not inclined to do that with someone I don't
know. I'm sorry."
"You might very well be sorry later. I want you to know I am a
mortgage banker and a professional who doesn't waste time
'beating around the bush'; if I like something I 'go for it'.
