Tanya asked Tom, “Oh wow, whose attention did we catch?”

Tom said, “One of those guys over there,” pointing to the other end of the dining area which was closer to the bar. There were about five guys huddled in conversation. We couldn’t really see their faces because of the dim lighting but from what I could tell, they looked like hulking men. Tom handed a note to me, written in one of the table napkins.

“To a gorgeous,wetlady,” Tanya read the note for me, her green eyes turning mischievous.

I gasped! Mr. Brick Wall had sent us the wine. I didn’t know the guy.I swear this to my dying day; this guy would never know where and how I got wet.

I didn’t want to take advantage of him. Especially, after I rudely left him. The wine looked expensive. I said to our server, “Please return it to whoever asked you to give it to us and tell him thanks, but no thanks.”

“No way, girlfriend,” Nalee interjected, “You do not refuse a nice gesture. And, this is probably a $75 bottle of wine; I really would like to taste it.”

“Now, Tom, please tell the gentleman thank you and we wish him a good night.” Tanya instructed Tom.

Heeding Tanya’s directive, our server uncorked the wine, poured some in our glasses after asking for I.D., and left our table.

“Ok, Ms. Wet….when, where, what, and HOW did this happen?” Tanya exclaimed, her hands flying up in the air. Nalee’s hazel eyes were also focused on me.

“Ummm, it kind of is an embarrassing story,” I said.

“Embarrassing? What are you talking about? Because of this ‘wet’ incident, we are now drinking a rare bottle of wine on a night like this. So please, however embarrassing it is, you made a big impression to some generous guy!” this coming from Tanya, her expression incredulous.

“More like a big mess,” I muttered to myself.

Knowing that my friends weren’t going to let me go scot-free without telling them what happened. I let out a huge sigh and told them the short version of the incident.

“So basically, you had a leak-” Nalee giggled.

Tanya added, “Well, at least we know you’re not incontinent. You had a leak because you bumped into him and that made you go….you know.”

We all started laughing.

We were truly having a great time. About two hours later, we were ready to leave when Tanya’s eyes lit up.

“That is one fine guy heading to us!” she loudly whispered.

Nalee said and looked up ahead, “Oh yeah!”

Tanya’s ‘likes’ in men were across the board. She has proclaimed herself to be an equal opportunity girl. She has dated short, tall, medium, smart, dumb, basically a ton of guys. So when she said, ‘fine’, I really didn’t know what to expect. However, when Nalee chimed in eagerly, I was curious as to what ‘fine’ was.

“Shhhh,” Nalee hushed.

“Good evening, ladies. I hope you enjoyed the wine,” boomed a masculine voice behind me.

I turned my head to see whom the voice belonged to.

Was there some ‘good-looking people convention’ going on tonight? From Mr. Brick Wall to this brown-eyed, shaggy blonde hair, athletic-looking guy, this place was packing all the good-looking guys!

But then again, thisWASSan Francisco. I was not sure if this guy liked the ladies, guys, or both. From the way, Shaggy Blonde Hair was eyeing Tanya; I safely concluded that he was into the ladies.

Tanya responded, “We thoroughly enjoyed it. It was so good, especially since it’s free. And now, knowing it came from you, makes it even better.” We were going to send a ‘thank you’ note back to the guy who sent us the wine through our server.

Mr. Shaggy Blonde Hair stood by my side and said, “Actually, the bottle was from my friend, Zander. He’s kind of shy. I hope I’m not disrupting your convo.”

Convo? He was so disrupting our conversation. Who the hell was this Zander, a friend of his? Was he Mr. Brick Wall?

I said, “Thank you, Mister. We really appreciate the wine. Please tell your friend our sincere thanks. It’s getting kind of late and I think it’s time for us to go.”

Yeah right, late as in 9:40 PM. I had to be in bed before midnight or I would not get my full 6 ½ hours of sleep even on winter break. I did not function on anything less than 6 ½ hours of sleep.
