the one

i have never seen her before. all i know is that a line of men are waiting to dance with her. every time i get ready to approach her, another man invites her to the floor. ugh! finally, i seize a moment. i am mere inches away from her. i ask, "would you..." oh no she has just agreed to dance with another man. he turns to look at me, "sorry." (yeah right you are sorry. bull shit you are sorry.)

i return to my chair. my friend asks, "well?" i said, "nope. someone else beat me to it."

a few minutes later, i say to my friend, "hey you know what would be wild????" "what?" he asks. "i bet you she is going to come to ask me to dance." my friend looks at me, feeling sorry for me.

at the end of the set, she and her partner walk toward us (i turn to look at my friend, with a twinkle in my eye), and we dance the last set of the night.
