About a week after I turned 21, I went to a bar near my workplace and had my first legal drink.
It was a packed house, as it was karaoke night and there was a large group of people from a conference (some telemarketing company? don’t remember).
I gathered the courage to sing a song and actually had a blast doing it!
A couple of guys from the work conference group cheered me on and offered to buy me a drink. I said yes and spent the rest of the night hanging out with the group.
While many of them took their turns flirting with me, there was one man in the group that I had my eye on.
He was handsome, tall, and looked to be mid-40s. I soon noticed that he had a wedding ring on and was flirting with me anyway, which made me want him even more.
For the rest of the night, there was talking, dancing, singing (and shots… so many shots…).
Finally, it was last call and the group made their way to the hotel, except for the man.
