she was an attractive young blonde woman

which was saying something

he rarely found blondes attractive

her hair was cut shortTomboyish  but that enabled her features to take centerstage stand out  wideeyed  sharp cheekbones   if she wasnt blonde hed lean towards First People ancestry  not that it was impossible 

Awright baby  Anteup  You got a babyface

I do

Great  I love it when I dont have a fight with someone about their babyface

No  When my hairs long no one questions how old I am  I was being served in bars at seventeen  Cut my hair short and Im challenged every time

Well  My hats off to your genetics  Take care of your faceyour health an youll be challengedas you say  until youre in your forties

Thank you

No  Thank you  Id be ridiculous if I didnt admit I enjoy gazing at attractive women

Thank you

Youre welcome

he scanned her purchase  a Teeling single malt  Irish  which simply improved her attractiveness  You have a savings card

I dont but my boyfriend does  she screwed up her face   If I can remember his number

No pressure he isnt here  An no matter we have a remedy if you fall down 

Okay  the twist in her features didnt relent

but she looked even better twisting  hooked on a line

Ten digits babe

Area code

Area code too

Youre only making it harder

Ive got confidence in you

she spat out the area code  then one digit at a time at different intervalsunsure pauses  excruciating  she emitted the remaining seven

Was I right

I havent entered it yet  Building the suspense    Though I must say  while you havent the ability to witness your expressionshow your face worked  Im entirely sure you hit the nail on the head

Ready

Youre killin me

he hit ENTER and the savings card posted her savings to the screen  BINGO baby  

YEAH!

Love your enthusiasm

I wasnt sure

Not being sure is like delicious seasonings on food  Ups the game

Thats a nice way of putting it  Normally I wouldnt agree

Comon  What fun is a sure thing    Theres no challenge

Youre right

So now I gotta ask  Your boyfriend know your number

No

No

No  It took him six months to remember my middle name

Then I suggest you go home an tell him you got the savings on the Teeling by remembering his numberAn WHATS MY NUMBER?

No  He doesnt know my number

Your boyfriend doesnt know your telephone number

No  No   Hes a kind of head-in-the-clouds kind of guy

Ah

     he was proud of himself  he held his tongue  he didnt usually hold his tongue

probably the only reason he held his tongue was to not take her down from her piqued high  remembering struggling to recall his number  that she did all on her own   an would likely continue to do in the relationship

he would have preferred to shrug an say Ah  the kinda guy who has his head up his ass  You might deserve someone better

              but he didnt

he put the Teeling in a brownpaper sleeve and handed it to her  Have a fine evening kiddo

I will

        happy  she literally skipped out of the liquor store
