Clean out the garage

The honey do list is long and with your new found evening plans, you need to make the most of your time. You fill up your water bottle and head out to the garage, throw on some tunes and get to work.

After an hour, you hear the ping of a text message coming through. You stop your work and open your phone hoping for a flirty message from Melanie but instead find a text from Sarah. “Hey hun! Just finished lunch with the family. The kids and I miss you. Hope you are getting things done.”

You text back, “Hey babe. I miss you guys too! Working on the garage now. I’ll call you later.”

The text from Sarah was nice and reminded you of why you stayed home this weekend while they went to the lake. You decide you should get your work done so next time you can go with them. You turn the music back up and get back to work.

Before you know it, a couple hours have passed but the garage looks much better. You look at your watch and realize it’s getting close to dinner time. You don’t want to be late for drinks with Melanie. Satisfied with your work, you head back inside, make yourself a sandwich before taking a quick shower.

After you get ready and before you head out, you call Sarah on FaceTime so you can see the kids. She answers and notices that you are dressed nicely and even trimmed your beard. She jokes, “You look nice! Are you having your girlfriend over since we’re gone?”

You laugh and respond, “Oh Sarah. You are so funny.” You tell her that you are headed out for a couple of drinks with a friend from the golf course. You feel a slight bit of guilt but it’s not too far from the truth, you convince yourself. You finish the call, say your good nights and head out to the car.

It’s 7:55 as you pull into the parking lot at the bar located on the other side of town. “5 minutes early, just as planned!” you think to yourself. You shut off the car then give yourself a quick glance in the rear view mirror. Running your hand over your neatly trimmed beard you say to yourself, “looking pretty good for an old guy!”

As you go to get out of the car, you spot Melanie walking toward the door. She is wearing a shortcut black sundress with floral pattern featuring red and yellow flowers. It is the perfect blend of classy and sexy and accentuates her petite frame in all the right ways. You quickly move toward the front door so she isn’t kept waiting too long. As you enter, you spot her at the bar where she has saved a seat for you. As you walk toward the bar, she makes eye contact and flashes you a brilliant smile that makes your heart beat a little bit faster. When you reach the bar, she moves toward you and gives you a big hug saying, “it’s great to see you again Ryan! I was looking forward to our date all afternoon.”

“Me too, Melanie. Me too!” you reply.

Your embrace is interrupted by a young lady who asks Melanie, “Mel, is this the handsome gentleman you were telling me about earlier?”

“Oh my goodness,” she says, “Ryan, this is my friend Kat who I told you would be joining us tonight.”

“Pleasure to meet you Kat!” you say, offering your hand for a handshake.

She pushes your hand away and gives you a big hug saying, “a friend of Mel’s is a friend of mine, especially a good looking guy like you!”

“Two hugs, from two beautiful women, all in one night. How lucky can one guy be?” you say causing both women to blush.

The two women look to each other flashing slightly devilish grins when Melanie says, “let’s find out!”

Melanie proceeds to flag down the bartender and says, “We’ll take three red headed sluts.”

You begin to wonder where the night is headed and whether you are going to be able to keep up with two 20-something’s.
