Untitled (For now)

Opening location:

Las Vegas, Palms Resort & Casino

On any given night Las Vegas is the place to be, today was no exception.

Adorned in my little black dress, I slowly make my way towards the tables. Texas No Hold'em is my game of choice. No limit of course, I like to live dangerously and I have money to burn. Getting a bid in is proving difficult though. It would appear everyone is playing high stakes tonight. Figures. I sigh and decide perhaps a drink first. I catwalk my way to the bar. Its Vegas I have to put on a show naturally, besides I'm fine. Am I confident; ALWAYS. Conceited; NEVER. I go to signal the bartender for a drink; like I have to, as if he hasn't already been eye f***** me from a far.

I go in to whisper "Johnnie blue neat love….."

He's taken a back.

"Is something wrong?"

"Nothing….I just wasn't expecting ….." I cut him off.

"Not a typical woman's drink huh."

"Not at all!"

"Well I have no need for drinks adorned with frilly umbrellas or ones that resemble a slurpee!"

"Ditto." He flashes a smile.

Brilliant smile.

I flash a smile back. I can sense he's trouble. Even so, I start to admire the rest of him. Jet black hair, a bit wavy, but cut real low. His eyes are a bit of a mystery. They seem to cascade from a light brown to an almost golden green. Creamy , warm beige skin. Now I realize redbones went out in the 90s. I can't help it, I love the 90s! I digress. He stands about 6'. Nice build from what I can see.

He must have ESP because just as I'm thinking that he emerges from around the bar. HELLO. Yeah really nice build.

"A fine lady such as you deserves a proper introduction. My name is Kristoff." He gingerly takes my hand and kisses it.

What soft lips, beautiful tea rose ….. I can think of a couple other places I want him to kiss.

I lean in closer. "It's a pleasure to meet you Kristoff. You can call me Candace. If you're nice I'll let you call me Candy."

"The pleasure is ALL mines and I prefer to be naughty."

"I bet you do, what some crackers to go with that cheese!" I quip.

I can't help but laugh. He laughs too. We chat for a minute. His conversation game is good I have to admit. That's rare. Much appreciated. I can sense though he can't chat much longer. Shame. I feel as though I could talk to him the whole night. He seems to enjoy my company too.

" I really wish I could chat longer beautiful but they run a tight shift around here." He says.

Rather sincerely too.

"No worries. I understand." I reply.

"I'm sure I'll paths will cross again." He says yearningly.

"Let's make that a certainty, here's my number, call me. Don't keep me waiting." I say teasingly.

He pulls me in to give me a hug. Nice gesture. I'm a bit bolder myself. I don't have time for subtleties.

I pull him closer and whisper .. "What to know what the sweetest candy tastes like.." As I let my tongue slowly tiptoe along the side of his neck and plant a single kiss.

He's grinning from ear to ear now. Blushing even. He tries to speak but can't seem to get the words out.

"I have that effect on people." I toy.

He just smiles.

I don't say a single word more. Nor give him the opportunity to. I slowly walk away. Sashaying from side to side. I know he's watching every motion. I want him to.

Just than a feel a firm hand grab my arm. It's him. Of course. I knew his move before he did.

"I want to see you tonight…..."
