A deal.

"Great! My name is Brian. My friend over there, Jeff, who is very shy, is having a birthday party tomorrow night...".

"And you want to know if I can go there tomorrow night? How many are there?"

"It'll be about twenty. But all the attention will be on Jeff."

"Okay, and how much?"

"Two hundred?"

Monique makes an incredulous face. "Really, honey? Have you seen me well? At least four hundred." And to reinforce the argument, she takes a spin on her feet.

"Oh, we don't have that much..." And he makes a sad face.

Monique pats the stranger's face and says, "Okay, honey, just because you're cute, I'll do it for three hundred and fifty."

He smiles, "Wonderful! We can save a little on the rest of the party and pay for it!"

"Whoa, so we have a deal? Come here to seal this." And Monique pulls the man up by the shirt and kisses him with tongue, under Mark's startled gaze.

The guy, after Monique's surprise kiss, is breathless and takes a few moments to recover before speaking: "Now I'm sure you're the best choice! I'll write down the address, it'll be around 8 pm. I'll leave my phone here too."

Monique and Mark look at the paper and confirm the suspicion that the group is from the same college as they are, as the address is of a fraternity there.

"One more thing: he goes with me where I go, ok?"

"No problem. See you tomorrow."

Monique waves to the group and pulls a still curious Mark out of there.

After all, what just happened?
