"Did you?"

"Yes.I did.I kept my eye on you the whole time.You just didn't look in there."

"Did you find something for them?"

"I did."

"Do I need to go pay for it?"

"Oh!No."I giggle and hook his arm, then pat my bra."My Amex card is tucked in titty tight."

"Did you find something for yourself?"

"No.I wasn't looking for myself.Surreal wears a lot of bling, but Seary doesn't."

"Hmm.I didn't think about that.That would be a problem, wouldn't it?"

"Yep, so I don't bother with it."I brush a pretend speck of dirt off his shoulder."Did you and Antonio have a good business meeting?It was sure a looooong conversation."I roll my eyes and yawn.

"Yes, we did.As a matter of fact, I was able to clear my schedule somewhat and won't need to go in after all this week."

"Excellent!But I still need to workout....Alone."

"I'll work on the apartment while you dance."

"Ah!"I throw my arms around him."You are just too perfect and too good to me!"I jump up and kiss his lips.

He takes my arms off his neck and pulls me to his lips to kiss."I've waited a long time for you."

My heart melts again."I'm one lucky girl!"

He cinches us together, and we walk down the sidewalk."We have a date tonight."

I start to skip alongside him, grinning at him."Where are we going?"

"Back to the Hotel."

"No."I swat him."Where is the date?"

"Ah!That's a secret!"

"I love your secrets!"I twirl around.

Walking hand in hand back to the Metro train, I swing our arms.When we stop at the traffic light to wait, I see a small skinny flagpole without a flag.My mind drifts back to the early days at Been Jammin when Laura, a girl named Betsy, and I would hit the sidewalks of Vegas performing pole dances, advertising our venue.That was a long time ago....And a lot of fun!I let go of Aurei's hand and trot over.I push it, then pull it.I hear Aurei's voice as he approaches.

"Really?Tell me you aren't about to...."

I give him a wicked smile, then spread my arms wide, squeeze my legs together and lift my body sideways off the ground.

"I guess you are."He stops and smiles.A gust of wind blows my hair in my face, and I lose him as everything goes blonde.Someone shouts up the sidewalk, and I hear the familiar sound of excited voices and footsteps approaching."Wild Thang, you are attracting attention to yourself."

"What was shouted?"

"They think you are imitating a flag."

I flex my feet and point my toes while my hips roll with a very soft motion.Then twice, I add my knees, sharpening the movement.When a gust blows my hair again, I arch my back and push the waving motion down my whole body, and wiggle my toes."Ah!Uuuu!"I hear some children's voices and a few claps.

"Very good," Aurei tells me.His voice has moved.He is standing right beside me.
