I think sometimes in all the testing Of P’s and MX’s we forget about the consumer line, and how effective it can be.
I needed to get some things from the store. With my daughter being sick the past few days, and the fact that I am living with my x-wife until I leave for CA this Sunday, I was excited to get out of the house. Before leaving the house I applied: 4:00 pm
3x Ammo
2x Instant Shine 2x
4x IO
I went to the store and got my stuff. I also got some good hair flips from a 20 something while waiting in line. I left the store, and decided I didn’t really want to go back home yet. There is this little bar in the same plaza as the store, so I decided to get a beer.
I walk in, and the place is dead. The only people in there were 2 waitresses that had just got off work, and were having a few shift drinks. I ordered my Sam Adams, and stood about 6 ft from the two ladies. They started talking about calories in alcohol so I chimed in with my 2 cents. That led to chatty convo about drinks, empty calories and stuff. I would throw in things here and there to make them laugh, and i would poke fun now and then to get some smiles.
By the way, I looked horrible. Jeans, t-shirt, red sox hat, and I hadn’t shaved in at least 4 days.
Anyway, one of the waitreeses left for a minute, so I started talking to the other one. I asked “so where is the place to go tonight”? “Its a Sunday on a holiday weekend, its probably going to be dead”. She replied “i dont know, i have a bunch of packing to do tonight so im not going out.” It turns out she is leaving the next day to go back to school in VA. We talk some more. School, economics, blah blah blah. Body facing, hair play, shoulder leaning.
So, the other waitress comes back and kind of steals her attention. I start watching the tv. She starts playing with a napkin, and I caught her twice looking at me, and when I looked over she would look down. I finished my beer and I asked the bartender for my check. I get the slip to sign, look over and caught her looking again. I sign the slip, write my # on my copy, walked up to her, look her dead in the eyes with that confident stare and said " If you finish packing before midnight, you give me a call. You’ll be glad you did" Turned, and walked out. I figured what the hell. Im leaving, she’s leaving, Im not going to see her again. Plus, I never say things like that. Maybe the direct appraoch works.
I told my x I may go out to meet some friends this evening just in case she called.
1215, phone rings. I don’t recognize the #. No fuckin way! Me “Hello”. Her “You said to call, so i’m calling”. Me “Your late”. Her “I know, just finished.” **Me "meet at at Gatsby’s in 15. Her “**Ok” Unfuckingbelieveable
1220 I applied:
1x TUTH chest
2x Ammo neck
2x Instant shine 2x face, back of neck
4x IO
We meet at the bar, order some drinks and shots, and start to bs a bit. This girl was ready to go home before she even got there. Ordering drinks and bsing just seemed to be foreplay for this girl. Major, Major, body language. Her leg was kicking, lip bitting, lots of deep breaths.
We had a few drinks, and shared some long stares. We were there about an hour. It went quiet, so I said “how far do you live from here” Her “less than 10 min” Me "Good, lets go. Her “Ok”
Insert your imagination here.
4 am
Me “I should get going” Her "ok, I gotta get some sleep anyway. **Me “**Ya, drive safe on your way to VA” Her “Thanks, it was really nice meeting you.” Me “You too. Ill talk to you later”
Thank you comsumer line. I promise not to neglect you any more.
