Nothing is permanent. On any given night in New York one seems to have plans, backup plans and then what they actually end up doing. As I learned early on anything can happen in this city and rather than plan it’s best to sit back, relax and let the night take you away.
I sat across from the massive fireplace inside the Rose Bar, champagne bubbles dancing as they touched my lips. My pistachio colored dress was the perfect accent to my tanned skin; I looked very 1940’s chic seated on the long banquet. He approached me looking shy, which I hate. I don’t know why I had agreed to meet him, he was completely not my type; a sad pathetic little animal that I could chew up and spit out with just a look.
He sat nervously next to me, not quite able to sitt still. He was frightened and I found this wildly amusing. He ordered a soda, mumbling something about saving money and after two sips got up avoiding eye contact and said, “I have to go, you have my number.”

His hands sliding over my waist and hips as he escorted me through the doors. “I have some great wine at my place,” he seemed sweet, but I didn’t want sweet.
The cab door closed and it was as if New Guy didn’t exist; all I could think about was The Artist. I wanted to be devoured, ripped into a million pieces; taken hard and really fucked. My mobile vibrated as the car came to a stop outside his door. “Two seconds darling and I’m yours…"
