A little hint of my future...
Wednesday afternoon a friend of my wife's called her in a panic. The local Boys and Girls Club chapter has a "Boy's Night" fundraiser on Thursday. They basically have a bunch of pretty girls to dress up in little black dresses and high heels and they are assigned to a table and they work as hostesses and get the tables of guys to donate to the Boys and Girls Club. They apparently did stuff like gamble on horse races or buy lottery tickets, that kind of stuff. Nothing outrageous, just a chance for a bunch of guys to look at pretty women and donate to a good cause. So anyhow her friend had totally forgotten that she was going out of town with her BF this weekend and was hoping Amber could take her place. We had plans to go out for dinner, so her friend was able to get me a ticket too (regularly $500.00!). I didn't have a table assignment but I would get to go, get a free dinner and enjoy the evening. And I'd get to donate a little.
So Thursday she had to be there at 4:00 to help set up, event started at 6:00 with drinks and then dinner at 7:30. Her friend was super appreciative and dropped her off on her way to her BF's house since I was going to be there later.
So I get there about 6:30. During the cocktail party part the girls circulated before the guys got sent to their tables. Amber is already popular. She has her wedding ring on. When I get there she gives me a hug and says hi but nothing like "Oh, good, my husband is here." A lot of the girls apparently work for the guys at the event as office staff etc so people know each other. One of the girls asks Amber how we know each other and she says "we live on the same street"!
Anyhow, she looks amazing, clingy, sexy but not scandalous little black dress, 5inch open toe pumps. I noticed she is only one in nude pumps, all the other girls have on black. So evening is fun, apparently there is a "contest" for the girls, whoever's table donates the most gets a $200.00 gift certificate to one of the sponsor restaurants. After the dinner there is mingling, the do this reverse lottery thing where all the names are on a board and they pull them off one by one. It gets down to like five guys and is pretty raucous. Amber's table has one guy still up on the board so they are going nuts. Her table has ten guys, 30's to early 50's, seemed like good guys. There is one guy I figured she'd be into, definitely enjoying himself, but hanging back, not totally whooping it up. So after reverse lottery finishes she and I are talking casually near bar. I'm gently teasing her about her table, she is in second place for top table, but not far behind. The guy comes over, she sort of turns a little away from me on her barstool, he smiles and tells her "You've got the best heels on here" so she does that flirty girl thing, puts her leg out, points her toe and starts flirting. Small talk, I can hear some of it but don't want to look like I am paying attention. He asks her if they were good to her tonight, how is she doing on the top table board. She tells him she did well, thinks she is in second so he promises to make sure she wins. So small talk and then he goes "well, I was going to ask you out for a drink, but I see someone got there first" and she giggles and goes "that's OK, I can still go out for drinks...And, besides, he's moving to Chicago for work for a few months." He smiles and goes "then maybe I'll have to buy you dinner too" and then hands her his card with his cell phone number, she giggles and says "thanks, but I don't really have any pockets, let me give you my number in case I lose yours" so she gives him her cell number. So then small talk, he heads off back into the group. She hands me his cards. I act shocked and go "you slut" she giggles and goes "that's why you love me" which is true.
So about ten minutes later they do the announcement of the top girls, so they get the top five up there and go in reverse order trying to get the guys to donate more. So they finally finish "auction" and yes, he made sure she won.
So as they are all leaving she thanks him, gives him a little kiss on the cheek and tells him "thank you, maybe I should buy you that drink"
He laughs and says "yeah, OK, just wear those heels instead"
We had to wait for about 30 mins for the girls to finish counting up etc. so as we are leaving she tells me that he is out of town next week, and so they are going to go out for drinks when I am in Chicago for my December trip.
