Flight To Freedom On A Friday
It was late Friday afternoon and we were just about to finish up at work. The stock market was about to close in a few minutes. I was dressed in my summer business casual outfit. I had on my summer khakis and a blue blazer with an oxford shirt. My footwear was composed of ankle high calfskin leather brown boots. I was about to make some calls to confirm my plans.
At that moment I received an email which extended my stay. The head of the desk wanted some clarification on a few trades. This was the last thing I wanted to deal with. It was fashion week and all the models would be out on the town. I checked my black sport watch and it was only a quarter past four. I had plenty of time. I quickly went through my notes and sent off the relevant data.
Having sent the message, I pounced from my chair and aimed for the bathroom. This would be my last pit stop before heading out. After using the facilities, I headed straight for the elevators. The number of people leaving had begun to slow. There were not that many people at work in the summer anyway. Entering the lobby I noticed that there were only two guards behind the desk. My phone made a noise. I dug into my pocket to see that I had received a text. It was from my buddy who wanted to let me know that he was on his way out, as well. We were headed to a club downtown which would take twenty minutes by cab.
I had three choices: walk, cab it, or ride the subway. Each one had its plusses and minuses. It was a very pleasant day except for the elevated level of humidity. This would make me a bit less than presentable upon arrival if I were to walk the entire distance. Also, at this time of day finding an available taxi would be a nightmare. Subway was a viable option, however, the rush hour crowds would also be unbearable. I decided to continue on foot for the time being until I came upon a cab.
I walked south about five blocks or so before I started to feel uncomfortable from the heat. I found a little bar off to the side and decide to rest from my journey. I thought a nice cold beer would be very inviting at this point. I spotted the door and walked through the second set of doors. Upon entering the establishment I surveyed the place and noticed it was an upscale bar with a few patrons. One quite attractive blond woman caught my eye as she was wearing these tight skinny jeans which highlighted her curves. She was on her way to the restrooms in the rear.
After staring at woman glide away, I sauntered to the bar and gazed at the bartender. She was a sight to behold. Her attire was rather opaque. She was wearing a black tank top with black tights. She was a very fit woman endowed with tremendous womanly charm. I smiled as she gazed at my eyes. She asked me what I desired and I requested an ice cold beer. She turned away with a bit of wry smile to grab a pint glass. As she was pouring the beer, she noticed another patron entering the bar.
I was too busy soaking in the cool, dry air and the anticipating the cold draft flowing through my mouth to notice that the person who had walked in was my buddy. Clearly, he had gone through the same thought process and ended up in the same spot. He tapped my shoulder and I turned and gave him an acknowledging smile. He sat down and we began discussing our plans.
