Confessions of a Serial Dater: Date 4, Erskin

My sister and I arrived at the club before the rest of my friends that night so she ordered a black opal and I ordered a greyhound. We sipped our drinks and looked around while we waited. That was when I spotted him on the other side of the club, sitting with friends. He was kind of dark-skinned, slim, fit, and had a gorgeous face. We made eye contact and I could tell he noticed me too. He was easily the hottest guy there but unfortunately he was a little on the short side for me so I didn't give him the "invitation" with my eyes.

As soon as everyone else arrived, I ordered another greyhound and we all hit the dance floor. The hot guy approached. Turned out that he knew Crystal so she introduced all of us. He had a perfect smile and his name was Erskin. He started dancing with our group, but as the night went on, he and I danced more and more together until we were pretty much on our own. When my friends announced they wanted to go to another club, he said he wanted to meet us there.

My sister said she was ready to call it a night but Mary and Amy offered to give me a ride back to her place to get my car later so I stayed and rode with them to the next place. I was pretty drunk by then and wobbling a bit on the stilettos but as soon as he arrived, he found me immediately and took me by the hand. We ordered another round and danced a bit more until he said there was a private, "velvet" room he wanted to take me to. I'd never been to that club so I didn't know anything about it but I agreed to check it out with him. I had already lost track of all my friends and didn't even think about letting them know we were disappearing.

I followed him as he led me behind a velvet curtain and sure enough, there was a large room back there with plenty of couch-benchy things. Surprisingly, the room was empty. He led me to one of the couches on the far wall and sat down. I sat next to him but turned so that I was draped over his lap facing him. We started kissing and then he began to tug at the deep v-neck of my sexy tank. He pulled it aside, exposing my left nipple, and then lowered his head to take it in his mouth. I could feel him get hard beneath my side as we continued to make out in the mysterious velvet room. He boldly reached his right hand into the front of my jeans and I quickly followed suit by unzipping his pants. I stroked him softly and then turned further to lick a circle around the head before closing my lips around it. I was just wondering if he had a condom with him when all of a sudden we heard people coming.

He quickly removed his hand from my pants and zipped himself back up as I pulled my top back over my exposed breast. Mary and Amy walked in and exclaimed, "Oh thank God! We've been looking all over for you!! The club is closing, we have to go..." As we exited the private room and the velvet curtain fell behind us, Crystal grabbed my forearm and said, "What were you two doing in there?? He has a girlfriend!" Ahem, girlfriend? Gulp. Apparently he had forgotten to mention that. My eyes widened in surprise as I looked back at her but I could only shrug in response.

He caught up with us as were walking and grabbed my hand to pull me back. I could feel Crystal's eyes on him, even through my drunken haze. He said, "Hey, can I get your number?" I looked at him, surprised for the second time that night, and said, "Oh really, you want my number? I thought this was just for fun...for tonight..." He said he still wanted it so I gave it to him but I knew I wasn't going to see him again for 2 reasons: he didn't meet my 6'0" height requirement and he had a girlfriend, so why bother? Mary grabbed my hand and pulled me away as she looked at him and said, "Good niiiiiiiight".

I planned on driving home when they dropped me off at my sister's place but I was too drunk so I thought, "I'll just sleep for a bit and then get up and drive home later". It was already 5am and I had to be at work at 10. I laid down, still fully clothed with my chandelier earrings sparkling, and my stilettos dangling over the end of the couch. I don't even remember falling asleep but I woke up in a panic. It was broad daylight, fuck! I looked over at the clock, 8:02 am. Whew!! Just enough time to make it home to shower and change before work!

By some amazing feat, I didn't even have a hangover so I filled all the girls in on the night before. They all exclaimed, "Martha!!! I can't believe you disappeared and didn't let anyone know where you were going! He could've been dangerous!". Then I got to the part about giving him head for a minute and all hell broke loose, "What?? Martha!! He could've had a disease! That's soooooo gross!" They were right, but come on, I was drunk so it had seemed like a good idea at the time, and trust me, if Mary and Amy hadn't come along when they did, we definitely would've had sex in the velvet room that night. He called a few times after that, probably hoping to close the deal, but I never answered or returned any of his calls.

Crystal said she later ran into him and his girlfriend downtown one night and he begged her not to say anything about me. My friends teased me about the velvet room make out session for a while, but it was only a matter of time before they had much better material to work with...
