    He really pulled out all the stops that night! The first

    part of the evening Beverly didnt even pay any attention

    to him. She wasnt attracted to him that way. She didnt

    even remember how she happened to be in his apartment.

    She was, however, very attracted to what she perceived as

    his fabulous lifestyle.

    His apartment stretched a full city block with a thfloor

    view overlooking "hicagos #ake $ichigan.

    The way he had orchestrated the evening was

    brilliant! The %aluha and "r&me flowed lavishly and

    eventually turned into white 'ussians with the addition of

    vodka. Somehow as the evening turned into night, what

    was originally a small gathering of friends, suddenly

    turned into (ust the two of them.

    )s she prepared to leave, he must have reali*ed her

    penchant for partying, and this allowed him to insist on

    one last drink in the intimate piano bar downstairs. He

    never gave an inkling that his plans did notinclude him

    being alone that night. There was no enlightened

    conversation to speak of + only cold white castle burgers

    at the bar and more white 'ussians. She had completely

    lost control of who she thoughtshe was and what she

    was doing there, some three hours ago.

    astoundingly drunk and end up in bed with a stranger.

    Beverly vividly remembered however, some two to three

    hours later, him hastily shaking her awake declaring the

    had an important meeting and had to leave + and so did

    she! She barely had time to dress in the clothes she had

    worn to work the day before, pat her hair and rush off to

    work. He didnt even offer her a toothbrush.

    )s he left her on the side walk in front of his

    luury apartment, her dignity in tatters, Beverly reali*ed

    that it was a good thing that shed never see him again.
