Yes, single. At the last minute, he had remembered to take off his wedding ring, much as it pained him. He had stuffed his most sacred piece of jewellery carefully in the coin fold of his wallet. His ring finger felt bare and naked and very exposed, especially as it was clearly the subject of considerable scrutiny. Had it always been like this? he wondered. Had he simply not noticed these games when he had still been free and single?
There, the die had been cast. A tall, curvaceous blonde detached herself from her gaggle of friends and sauntered towards him. The game was on.
A small shiver of excitement ran through Alex’s body. Despite himself, the thrill of seduction aroused him.
‘Hello, handsome.’ The blonde sidled up to him in her extremely high heels and gave him a wide smile. Her ample bosom strained against a blue sequined top, and her fingernails were painted an acute shade of red. A cloud of perfume enveloped Alex like a spicy caress, and he had to swallow hard. Her scent was a little too heavy for his liking, but he would get over it.
‘Hello,’ he replied simply.
‘You on your lonesome tonight?’
‘Sure am.’
He grinned. They sounded like two actors in a cowboy movie.
‘Fancy buying a thirsty girl a drink?’
Whoa there, don’t hold back. ‘It’ll be my pleasure. What would you like?’
The blonde jumped slightly and erupted in a tinkle of laughter. ‘Aren’t you quite the gentleman? I’ll have a glass of house white, please.’
Alex nodded and signalled to the barman. ‘I’m Alex,’ he said over his shoulder while he was waiting to order her drink.
‘Shelley.’
‘Nice to meet you, Shelley.’ The unfamiliar name nearly stuck on his tongue.
‘Are you from around here, Alex?’
‘I live in London,’ he replied truthfully.
A glimmer of disappointment flittered across her face. ‘Do you come here often?’
Evidently she was looking for The Man. The right one, the one who would commit. Alex felt awkward.
‘No, not really.’
‘Ah.’ Shelley was disappointed, he could see it on her face. She looked over towards her friends, who gave her a unanimous thumbs-up alongside a few ruder gestures of encouragement. As though not to lose face in front of her friends, Shelley squared her shoulders and offered him a dazzling smile.
‘Who cares? We have tonight, don’t we?’
‘We do, yes.’ Alex’s voice emerged husky and hoarse. He was completely unprepared for the speed of events. Her drink hadn’t even arrived yet, and already they had agreed to spend the night together?
After the initial race to establish a shared purpose, Shelley visibly relaxed. She became chatty and started cracking jokes, and Alex found he quite enjoyed her company. Behind the slutty exterior hid a clever and sensitive woman who conversed easily about world politics, the current number one bestselling book, and Salman Rushdie. The more they talked, the more certain Alex became that he couldn’t take Shelley to bed. For one, he really didn’t fancy her enough. Second, he couldn’t shag-and-run like Myles, or even the Alex of old. And last but most important: he loved Casey far too much.
