My girlfriend Julia and I were at a house show watching our friend’s college band play. For whatever reason the band decided to set up in the backyard and play in the freezing temperatures of November so we were all shivering in the cold. Eventually we noticed that someone got a bonfire going in the corner of the backyard so Julia and I walked over to warm up.
Stoking the fire was a tall, bearded man who gave us a warm smile as we approached. He was burly and had messy brown hair. He introduced himself as Daniel and I immediately felt the chemistry between the three of us. We were simply exchanging casual conversation but he stared at us with eyes full of attraction. Eventually the conversation turned more flirty as he complimented Julia: her big blue eyes, her black skirt, her long dirty blonde hair. When Daniel saw me frown with jealousy, he looked at me and told me not to worry: I looked just as beautiful as she does. This comment caused Julia and I to exchange a quick glance with a smirk that said, this might be our guy. All subtleties vanished when he eventually told us, “You two are gorgeous. Why don’t you come back to my place and I can enjoy both of you together…”
