"Well Jack, as you know the bar, I will follow your arm."
Melissa was very charming indeed, thought Jack. With that, he hooked his arm so that she could place hers in it, and strode to the bar.
He offered her a seat, and dutifully watched as she placed her handbag in front of the stool and sat down.
"A wine?...or perhaps something stiffer?", he asked.
"Oh, something stiff sounds like fun.", she replied.....her lips pouting, and eyelashes fluttering.
Jack, if he was not so unsure of his feelings, almost imagined that Melissa was flirting with him......but he was certainly not going to compromise his relationship with Melissa's daughter to find out!
"Last time I went out on a date, I drank a little too much....ended up getting married to Kate's dad.", she laughed as she said it.
Jack laughed too, but his mind was stuck on the word DATE that she had used. Was this a DATE?
"So, with that in mind, Jack......I want you to treat me as if I was the object of your affections....double bourbon with cola....and keep lining them up!"
