“Sure thing, girlfriend!” “Then all of the sudden he’s taking me in his arms and kissing me. Like Clark Gable or whatever.”

“Just like that? Damn, girl.”

“Yep, just like that. Then he takes me to Chantique’s for dinner. ”

“Chantique’s! He’s really trying to wine and dine you, girl! I heard that just the salad is seven dollars. Did you eat?”

“I couldn’t, I was so excited all I did was talk and talk. I don’t know how much champagne I drank or what I said. But he’s so fascinating. He’s already traveled around the world.”

“Even Africa?”

“Especially Africa. He goes there almost every year, mostly to Senegal and South Africa. He said if we’re together in a few months, I can go on his next trip with him. Isn’t that awesome?”

“Enough that I’d want to stick around until then. Are you sure this guy is single?”

“He ain’t now. He’s with me.”
