his name was ryan. he works as an accountant for the Deloitte company and is 24 years old. he had one of the nicest smiles i have ever seen and the best fashion sense a straight man could possibly posess. he also hit on akemi and i for about two hours.. after meeting leo he suggested i show him a night on the town vegas-style, away from the strip. he offered me his cell phone and room key as collateral. what a night. after realizing he didn't have a chance and chatting with us youngens for a while he met back up with his poker buddy so he could lose his fourth one thousand dollars as that was his budget for the week. he offered his hand and business card in his departure. and it was nice. really nice to feel that again, to feel attractive and have an alarmingly cute man hit on you. who cares if he knew i was seventeen and was once married and cheated on his wife and was only after sex.. it was still a very nice reminder. and now i have a friend in chicago.
