C’mon Baby Light My Fire
Friday, March 20th, 2009Okay, I need to preface that I have not been romantic with another man in years as I was married for 10 years and freshly divorced. Well, I ran into an old coworker of my ex-husband’s. When he heard that I was divorced, he invited me to his party the following Saturday so I decided to take him up on the offer. I grabbed a girlfriend and we went. It was fun, the guy (Scott), was a great host and introduced me to everyone. After everyone left, I helped him clean up. He made it evident that I was invited for a specific reason. I thought what the heck? It’s been a long time and I need fun. In the middle of me trying to be seductive and take off his blazer, I accidentally hit a candle with the arm sleeve catching it on fire. I ran, grabbed a cup, filled it with water and ran back to extinguish the fire only to completely miss and throw a full cup of water in his face. He stomped the fire out of his expensive blazer, accepted my apologies politely, then walked me to the door.
I’m sure it’s not surprising that I haven’t heard from him since.
