Vanilla Setbacks

“Hey sexy, how are you?” “"You took the words right out of my mouth cutie.”" “You are too sweet.” “I saw you eyeing me at the dinner table.” “It was kind of hard to miss you with those big bright eyes and those cute dimples.” I started blushing. “So what’s your name?” “My name is Rodney but my friends call me Rod.” “My name is Tracey, I am a friend of Jessica’s and I catered this shindig.” I said playfully. “Well I loved your meatballs, they hit the spot.” “Oh I definitely know how to do that.” “Oh do you now?” He licked the blue sugar off the rim of his shot glass and I was done. We chatted for about 20 minutes more and really hit it off. We decided to cut it short once we realized he was the only guest left. Jessica was giving us blank stares. “Is there any way we can exchange phone numbers?” “Sure, I will give you my phone number and you can call me sometime.” “My number is 320…” wait a minute, I realized I was getting ready to give him my cell number. “I mean my number is 345-2929. That is my shop number, you can call me Monday-Saturday between 9-5.” He locked my number in his phone, gave me a hug and proceeded to his car. I knew he was a winner. I smiled as I made my way back in to Jessica’s house.
