He turned into the parking lot and began searching for an open space in the small crowded lot; he found one at the far end of the aisle. As he walked into the pub he saw why the parking lot was so full; there were no empty tables in the main room and there were no empty sits at the bar. Don walked to the bar and caught Rita's eye; as she came over to take his order a couple came out of the back room. Don glanced in and saw that the small table in the back corner was unoccupied. "I'll have a pint of Double Diamond Rita," he said, "can you bring to the back table?" "Sure, Don, it'll be just a few minutes," she replied. Don sat at the two person table and gazed out at the packed bar. As Rita served him his ale Don noticed the most beautiful head of coppery red hair he'd ever seen. He stared at the back of the woman's head until she turned around. She was very pretty in her late twenties or early thirties Don guessed. She noticed him or perhaps the empty seat and came over to his table; she stood about 5' 8" tall and weighed around 130 pounds, very nicely built. She was wearing a U necked top that revealed just the right amount of cleavage, her skirt ended just above the knee and her legs were slim and attractive. "Is this seat taken," she asked? "No, please sit, I'm Don Crawford," he answered. "Thank you, Colleen Kennedy," she replied, as she sat down. "Is that Double Diamond," she inquired? "Yes it is, I don't think I've seen you in here before, do you come in often?" "No, this is only the second time. I'm in town on business and thanks to a bitch of a secretary I'm stuck here until Sunday. My colleagues left this afternoon for Vancouver and all the flights are booked until Sunday." Colleen caught Rita's attention as the waitress served another table. "Two pints of Double Diamond please," Colleen requested of the barmaid, "you don't mind if I buy you a drink do you?" "No, I appreciate the offer, so what happened if you don't mind my asking," Don inquired, "I can't believe that all the flights to Vancouver are booked there must be at least four or five flights a day. |
