THE GAME BEGINS

EVANGELINE
I place my clutch on the top of the dark mahogany bar and take a
seat, crossing one leg over the other, facing the opulent
chandelier that hangs from the ceiling. The crystals send prisms of light to
dance on the walls, giving the space a beautiful touch of color. With no
windows to let in the early evening light, the space is otherwise dark, like
deep waters. The upscale bar is decorated with plush couches in a deep
shade of pink, fluffy pillows, and shadowy corners. In a town like Las
Vegas, this bar is an oasis for those who want to be anonymous—and have
enough money to pay for it.

I grab the bartender’s attention, his eyes lingering on my face for only a
second before they fall to the low cut of my dress. He offers me an
embarrassed smile when he notices that I’ve caught him staring at the
outline of my breasts.

I don’t mind.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t be wearing a dress that leaves so little to the
imagination.
He’s young and handsome, nicely built, with a kind smile, and a great
head of hair which I’m sure helps with the tips. His uniform of a crisp white
dress shirt and black vest are neatly pressed. The glint of a gold name tag
pinned to the lapel reads Tony.

“Champagne?”
I have to order something while I’m here waiting. I typically don’t
drink, not because I can’t handle my liquor, but I need to have a clear head.
That’s why only one glass of champagne is my limit.
Tony knows who I am, or more importantly, what I am.
The glass appears in front of me and I hold it by the stem, letting the last
of the foam fizz out before taking a sip, leaving behind an imprint of red
lipstick.

Across the room, I see a man walking towards me in a very expensive
dark suit with a bold blue tie. He’s tall, distinguished, with a head of dark
hair that is now peppered with grey. He’s handsome, but that hardly matters.
He makes his way over with an interested smile. He takes the seat next to
me at the bar and I swallow hard, giving him a practiced smile because
that’s what I’m supposed to do, when everything inside of me wants to get
up from this chair and walk out the door.

“Hello,” he says in a confident, smooth voice.
There is no indication in his demeanor that we have met before, but his
eyes glint with recognition and unrequited want.

And so the game begins. “Hello.”
“Are you here for the conference?” he asks, resting his arm on top of the
bar, his fingers close to my arm as if itching to touch me.
I look down at my dress, cut low, cinched at the waist, and flaring out at
just the right length to show off my legs which his eyes drop further down
to admire.

The music and the chatter in the bar aren’t loud, but I lean in anyway,
my lips close to his ear, giving him a decent view down the front of my
dress, and ask, “Do I look like I’m here for a conference?”
