Gamer Girl Read Online Free PDF

Wednesday. “ Hey Sarah, I wondered if you want to go out on Friday. I was thinking dinner and a movie or dinner and a piano bar. There’s singing if you like.”
    Sarah was quiet for a long moment. “Food and singing soun d like fun. What time should I be ready?”
    “ I’ll see you at seven, Sarah.”
    “ Okay.”
    “’ Okay then, goodbye.”
    “’Bye.”
    Sarah put down her cell phone. Why had she done that? Why had she agreed to see him? Maybe it was because he kissed her like he meant it, and he treated her so well or because he was so damned attractive.
    Friday night, Sarah stood in front of her mi rror and decided that she would do. She wore her little black sheath in silk crepe with three quarter length sleeves and a v-neck. A plain gold pin in the shape of a long slender leaf and plain gold earrings were her only jewelry. Black suede sling-back heels and dark hose finished the look. Her long hair was once again up in a Gibson girl knot.
    When sh e opened the door, Eamon said, “Whoa! You look…spectacular.”
    “It’s not too much?” Sarah asked.
    “Nah, you look great.”
    Eamon drove to the Plaza. Moments later they were seated in a great restaurant with an elegant jazz bar. After an excellent meal, Eamon said, “I promised you singing, but let’s dance for awhile before we go.”
    “Sure,” Sarah told him.
    Eamon pulled Sarah his arms on the dance floor and held her close. He put his lips to her ear and said, “I have to confess, I really wanted to hold you.”
    S arah leaned back so that she could see his face. “I like the way you hold me. I’d dance all night with you.”
    Eamon pulled her closer. They danced , had a couple of drinks and then went down to a little place near Waldo. The bar itself was a neighborhood bar, small, and cozy. It was busy with people who lined up to sing with the piano player. Some were decent amateurs others were solid professionals. The place only got more crowded as the theaters closed and local actors and actresses dropped in as well.
    Sarah sang a couple of Broadway tunes, Eamon sang If I Loved You from Carousel and High Flying Adored from Evita . Sarah obliged him by singing Evita’s part at the key change. They didn’t leave until closing time. By then, Sarah was tired and slightly intoxicated.
    “Do you want to stop for something to eat?” Eamon asked her as they drove north on the interstate.
    “Umm, no, thanks. I can make coffee at my place,” Sarah told him. Her head was beginning to ache from the weight of her hair. She removed the pins and shook it out. “Oh, much better,” she said. “I probably could even cook you an egg.”
    Eamon realized that Sarah was buzzed. He listened while she talked happily about the piano bar and all the wonderful singers who had been there.
    “And you have a great voice!” Sarah was pointing a rather wobbly finger at him. “Wow! You dance, you sing, you play video games…” Sarah giggled,”…. and you make video games…” she giggled again. Then she smiled at him. “Baby, you are a Gamer Girl’s dream come true!”
    Eamon held his laughter in check . “Why, thank you, Gamer Girl!”
    Sarah’s smile grew even wider. “That’s right, I am a Gamer Girl. Proud of it!” Sarah took a deep, deep breath. “I had a great time.” Sarah leaned back against the car seat and closed her eyes. In less than a minute she was asleep, her head propped against the passenger window.
    Eamon glanced over . He laughed and turned his attention back to the highway. He pulled up in front of her apartment complex. He opened her car door. Once he did, he shook her shoulder. “Sarah. Sarah, wake up. Come on Gamer Girl, wake up.”
    Sarah opened her eyes. Eamon pulled her up and onto her feet. Thankfully, she was able to stand, albe it a little unsteadily. “Come on, give me your key.”
    Sarah opened her little evening purse. He noted, to his delight that her house key was neatly safety pinned to her purse. He unpinned
