room. I’ll be back in a jiffy.” Ali started to walk away and turned back, “Nice to meet you, Alan, see you soon.”
    Lilly snickered in her head at the fact that that was very unlikely. She took a sip of the wine to keep busy. She wasn’t really sure what to say and Alan looked just as uncomfortable. He was looking around the bar, and once he made eye contact with the barmaid he waved her over.
    Lilly wished that Ali would hurry back from the bathroom. She knew the ‘so can I call you’, ‘I will call you’ or ‘none of the above’ was about to make its way out of Alan’s mouth.
    “We are about ready to wrap things up, whenever you get a chance I will take the check.” He smiled at the barmaid and Lilly watched as his eyes lingered on her ass as she walked back to the bar to retrieve their check.
    “Are you sure you don’t want to come with us to Magic Bar? I’m sure we could hang here until your pants dry.” Lilly didn’t want him to feel like she was blowing him off or being rude.
    “I’m sure you girls will have fun. To be honest with you, it’s really not my scene and I need to get up early tomorrow. I could drop you guys off so you don’t have to walk if you want,” Alan offered.
    “I understand. Thank you for the offer to drive us, but I really want to eat one of those cupcakes so I think the walk will be a good thing.” Lilly smiled at him. “So which one do you want?”
    “I don’t have a preference, please help yourself.”
    “I’m going for the salted caramel then.” Lilly grabbed the little cupcake and sipped on her now cold coffee.
    The barmaid brought the check and Alan put cash in the black book and told her they were all set.
    Alan stuffed the strawberry topped cupcake in his mouth and stood up. Lilly was amazed at how tall he really was. She was bummed that he turned out to be the furthest thing from her type. At least he wasn’t a jerk.
    “I’m going to head out. Do you want me to wait for your friend to come back from the ladies room?” Alan offered.
    “No, I am fine. Thank you so much for dinner, it was delicious. It was really nice to meet you.” Lily stuck her hand out in front of her to shake his hand.
    “Yeah, sorry I couldn’t hang for the rest of the night. We’ll talk soon.” He shook her hand. “Tell Meg I said hi if you see her before I do.”
    “Will do.” Lilly watched him walk out the front door and past the front windows of the restaurant. He didn’t look back into the restaurant. Lilly hoped that meant he wasn’t interested either.
     

CHAPTER FOUR
     
    The Bar
     
    Ali came running back from the bathroom. “I never thought he would leave.”
    “What do you mean?” Lilly asked her.
    “I was waiting over there. I didn’t want to interrupt your goodbyes. Are you ready to go?”
    Lilly grabbed her flashy clutch off of the table. “You didn’t have to hide over there like some kind of reverse stalker.”
    “Yeah well, I didn’t want to delay the inevitable. I thought if I stayed at the table he would too. I’m not looking to spend my night in this stuffy restaurant. I am ready to party and listen to some rock, so let’s roll.” Ali picked up Lilly’s wine glass that was still half full and slugged down the rest of the wine.
    “If you wanted a drink why didn’t you just order one?” Lilly put her arm around her friend and they walked out of the restaurant.
    “Hey, I just don’t believe in wasting things. I’m very eco-friendly.” Ali laughed. “Besides, there are some people you just should n’t let buy you a drink.”
    Lilly looked around to make sure that Alan wasn’t anywhere within earshot by chance. “Thank you so much for coming to bail me out of this date. He was nice and all, but could we have been any more opposite?”
    “Who set you up on this one and why do you continue to go out on blind dates?” Ali tucked her arm around Lilly’s arm and they walked together.
    “Some chick Meg that works at the resume place
