kissing another man.

my way. I’d flirt. Smile. Maybe get her number. I sure the hell didn’t expect
her to toss her arms around my neck, mashing her body against mine, and kiss
the ever-loving shit out of me. Then, she stopped. Stepped back. Blushed.
Whispered “Sorry” and blended into the crowd.
I never got her name that day. Or her number. However, fate had
other plans and Destiny happened… again.
