I was sitting there at the bar in a ritzy Manhattan hotel when he walked in. He smiled at me. I literally turned around. He’s smiling at the glamazon that must be seated behind me because I am wearing grey skinny jeans, a bright red t-shirt that reads “EVERYONE TALKS ABOUT MY BLOG,” & red gym shoes. I’ve been walking the streets of Manhattan for 8 hrs. I am sweaty, my lipstick is caked. I am not the picture of sexy. I am the picture of what I actually was: a married Mama of two so excited to spend 2 days alone in the city for a blogging conference she wore RED KICKS (red ring & red sweater but who’s counting?)

Life stage be damned, he sits next to me and engages in small talk. He “loves writers” apparently. He buys a bottle of expensive wine though I tell him I don’t like wine. “You will like this wine,” he says. I don’t. He does not hear me, he sees me. He’s wearing a $5,000 suit, a $30,000 watch. God only knows about the beautiful, beautiful shoes. He’s 50 at least. Maybe pushing 60. An old Italian man, perhaps a grandpa and I think he’s hitting on me. Then an invitation to his room. I say no thank you. He tells me he “doesn’t give up that easy.” I tell him I’m married, he doesn’t care. Have another drink he says. I haven’t finished the first glass. Again, “come up?” He’s interested in me, he says. In the 5 whole minutes we’ve chatted. He’s not unattractive to me, but he’s much older and it’s gross. I think of the scene in Something’s Gotta Give when Jack Nicholson has a heart attack trying to fool around with a girl half this age.

Is this love or is this going to be a one night stand?
