Reluctantly Yours(108)

“No, but I met a guy.”

“What? Where?” She glances around the theater, but it’s pointless because the audience is dark now. The only light is the spotlight pointing down on the center of the stage. “This place is filled with estrogen.”

“Welcome to Rainin’ Men. We hope you enjoy tonight’s performance.” The speaker announces overhead.

I take a sip of champagne. I feel antsy. Should I leave the show and go look for Griffin? Is it crazy that I want to?

I’m debating what to do when the curtain lifts to reveal five men onstage, fog billowing around them, their bodies shadowed by the lighting backstage. Their heads are bowed. The music stops for a beat. The audience is quiet, with the exception of a few cat calls in the back, everyone is poised on the edge of their seat, waiting for the action they know is coming.

A second later the music drops back in, the spotlight pops and the men’s heads’ lift. It takes me two seconds to recognize him. There in the middle of the pack, rolling his hips to the music is Griffin.
