kind of innocent and not like most girls I’ve met. And it’s not an act.” I felt a bit caught off guard, which was uncharacteristic of me.
    “So you’re saying you’re always sweet one second and a creeper gigolo the next?”
    “Gigolo? Hey, I take offense to that,” I said with a laugh, trying to lighten up the mood. “I don’t get paid for showing a girl a fun time. I like having fun on my own terms.”
    “You win. You’re right about one thing.”
    Booyah! The conversation is back on track! “What’s that?”
    “You’re not sweet at all. You were just trying to take advantage of the situation when you offered me a drink.” Her voice was sharp and cutting. “And don’t you have a girlfriend?” She looked at me in disgust.
    “I—” I was again caught off guard by her. “Well shit. Way to bust my balls, Alexis.” I felt a need to defend myself, and this was a feeling I wasn’t used to. “First of all, I don’t have a girlfriend. That blonde you saw on the stairs the other day was just some random girl I fucked. Second of all, when I offered you the drink just now, I was honestly trying to be nice. You seemed really upset and you’re covered in dried paint, so I figured you were in need of a drink.”
    I paused and looked at her. She was now silent and watching me. It looked like it was her turn to be caught off guard.
    “You don’t have a girlfriend?” Her tone was no longer sharp. There was no hint of disgust or hostility in her voice anymore. There was a spark of curiosity in her eyes. I wasn’t sure why, but I felt happy that she was no longer upset with me. Why do I even give a shit?
    Against my better judgment, I gave her a warm smile. “No, I don’t.”
    “Oh,” she simply said, and nothing else. I could tell she was thinking things through. Then she looked into my eyes, her expression softening, and she smiled back at me. A cute, tiny dimple above the left side of her lips appeared, and I felt instantly drawn to her.
    There was a look in her eyes that I knew well. It was a look that scared me with women. It was a look that often lead to their desire for a commitment. It was a look that meant that they were trying to picture a future with me in it. It was my red flag to run and never see the girl again.
    And yet, something felt different here.
    Fuck. What are you doing, man? You need to let her know you’re not interested like that.
    The look on Alexis’s face confirmed my thoughts. I knew I had to make sure she knew that I was the guy you’d gladly give up a night of sleep for and gain a night of fuck-your-brains-out sex. I knew I had to make sure she knew that I was not the guy you’d take home to meet your parents.
    “Look—” I began and paused. A part of me was resisting what I was about to say next. There was an odd fear of the consequences of what I’d say. But I pushed through the resistance. “Look, I may not be sweet, but I’m not a guy who will take advantage of a girl either. I never force someone to do something they don’t want to do. I just enjoy a fun time, and well…” I looked at her. She was silent, hanging on my every word. “…if you’re looking for a fun time, I’m your guy. I’ll rock your world if you want me to. But if you don’t want the best sex of your life, no hard feelings.”
    I held my breath as I waited for her to respond, but she just looked at me in disbelief.
    The silence was unbearable, so I continued. “All I’m saying is, if you’re ever lonely and want someone to hang out with, give me a call. I won’t say any ‘I love yous,’ but I promise you the best night of your life with no strings attached.” I licked my lips and gave her one of my signature wicked smiles, hoping it would work its magic this time.
    There was another long pause.
    “Wow,” she finally said.
    “Yeah, I know,” I said seductively. Here it comes. This is where she gives me her number.
    “You’re so cocky.” She shook her head in disbelief.
    I
