Check ID at the door. Struttin' through the smoke and blur of laser lights to coat check, then the bar. A few eyes on her, a few on her friend. Part to sea of people, Moses, to put her feelings in motion. Nicest beard in the place approaches her with a smile. With attention captured, the rest of the night he moved in close. Eyes on her, she drinks the attention and the flirty shouts over the wife piano drum duo, "Want to go home with me?" The shapes of her head parallels the shape of her hips, complemented by a tiny green dress. The lace trim foreshadows her balance of classy and sexy. He beckons the invite again. She confirms he's forgotten her name and she dances off the insult of this. He spins her body to face him and shouts over the music, "why did I dance with you all night if you are coming home with me?" Her response should have been, "why did you dance with me all night and never offered me a drink?" But instead she smiled and rolled her blue eyes, simultaneously amping up the sway of her hips. He couldn't resist her and refused to leave her side. An hour before closing, he begged for her digits, at the very least. To confirm her suspicions, she complied. Saturday night she laced up her black dress with boots to compliment. No text was ever received. Intentions confirmed as a dark stranger bought her a drink. You think things were blurry on the dance floor with mister beard? Try these rum balls that are sure to go home with you. In a food processor (I used my faithful Ninja, hi-yah!) Combine a box of vanilla wafers, 1 cup pecans,1 cup powdered sugar,1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 tsp cinnamon, ½ tsp nutmeg,1/4 tsp ground ginger, 1/3 cup dark rum (“why is the rum gone?” I don’t know.. ‘why did I dance with you all night if you’re not going home with me?!’), and 2 Tbs light corn syrup. Dump ground ingredients on flat, clean surface and compress ingredients in your hand like his intentions, begin forming into balls. Dust with powdered sugar because, “another one bites the dust.”
