"Ah.An early confession."I stroke her with my thumbs."Day and night, I dream only of you."
"Oh, fuck!"She giggles."If you would have said that in English, we would have hooked up right then and there."
I chuckle.
"And in the parking lot?"
"You're the woman of my dreams!"
"Wow!You're really romantic, aren't you?I was thinking the same thing about you."
"I know.I could see it in your eyes."
She smiles."And when we … fucked?"
"Another confession.I am yours."
"That was so sweet."
"I'm really a sweet guy."
She laughs, "Yes, you are."

"Everything is resolved,folks.Let's settle down with some Motown sounds.Let me see what I can find."DJ Mike announces.
Motown!Brilliant!I have an idea and slide off Aurei's lap.
"Where are you going?"He reaches for my hand.
I smile as I back away."I have a song request."
"Hang on.I'll go with you."He stands, not wanting to let me out of his sight again.
"Wait right here."I insist, laughing.I walk across the dance floor without his permission.When I turn back to see if he has followed me, he is leaning against the table with his arms crossed, watching me like a hawk.I give him a twinkle wave, making him smile, and he points at his phone.
I shrug, making him smile bigger and shake his head.
There are a lot of people meandering around the dance floor and hovering by the stage, but the vast majority are in groups at the back tables.Walking to the edge of the stage, I wave to Mike.He smiles, recognizing me, and motions me to come on up.I turn around and boost my butt up.Aurei is still leaning on the table.
When I walk up to Mike's station, I introduce myself."Hey, I'm Siri."
"Mike.Nice to meet you."
"Likewise.What can I do you for?"
"Is it possible to request a couple of songs?"
"Sure.What do you want me to play?"
I tell him, and he smiles at my choices as he makes a few adjustments to his set."For Aurei?"
"Yes."
