She really liked him.

Apart from being attractive and sexy and funny; he was genuine and seemed to be honest.

She kept wondering why she couldn't meet someone like him under normal circumstances.

"Fuck!"

She turned and Dylan was standing there.

.

"What's wrong?"

.

"Oh sorry. I didn't mean to swear."

.

He passed her a beer.

"Why are you sorry?"

.

"I don't know if you swear."

.

He laughed.

"Only like a fucking dockworker."

.

She let out a long sigh.

"Finally I can actually be myself. Fuck, that feels good."

.

"You still haven't told me why you are here."

.

She sipped her beer.

"That is so fucking good."

She licked her lips.

.

"You're flirting again."

.

"I was licking the beer off my lips. Geez. Talk about full of yourself."

.

He never spoke.

.

"Ok. A little. Anywayyyyyyy....

I am here to meet with some investors about building a new hotel."

.

"Here on the strip?"

She nodded.

"There is some land farther down the river. The city wants to open up the strip more."

.

"So what kind of money we talking?"

.

"Why. You interested?"

.

"Maybe."

.

She got serious.

"About 500 million dollars for the hotel and another 300 million for Casino rights."

.

He let out a whistle.

"That's a lot."

.

"It is a very informal meeting. We have six months option on the land before we have to present a proposal."

.

"So your Dad figured send his gorgeous daughter to seal the deal."

.

She laughed.

"It is Japanese investors and they are crazy about redheads."

.

"Them and me both," he muttered under his breath.

.

"What was that?"

.

Kevin arrived with their platters.

.

"I was just saying that our food was arriving."

.

"Ah, huh."

She looked at the three platters. One was a veggie dish, another a variety of hot appys and the third a taco and cheese dish.

"Looks great."

.

"Will there be anything else?"

"Thank you Kevin, that will be all for now."

.

Kevin left.

.

She took some taco chips.

"Delicious."

.

He passed her a napkin.

.

"Thank you Dylan."

.

He smiled.

.

"So are you named after Bob Dylan?"

.

He smiled. "Actually I am."

.

"No shit?"

.

"No shit. My parents were both huge Dylan fans and so am I."

.

She sat back in her chair and stared at him.

.

"What?"

.

"My parents met at a Dylan concert."

.

"No way."

.

"Wayyyyyyyy. Back in the early 80's. They were both living in Toronto. They went to one of his concerts and they met. My middle name is Sara."

.

"So do you like Dylan?"

.

She wiped her moth.

"These wings are great."

.

"They make great food here."

.

She agreed.

"I love Dylan. More his older work."

.

"Me too. The first song I heard by him was, 'It's all over now Baby Blue'. I just fell in love with his music."

.

She was shaking her head.

"That is one of my fav Dylan songs, but you know what my favourite is?"

.

He looked at her for a moment.

"I would say.....

'Stuck Inside of Mobile."

.

She stopped eating and stared at him.

"No fucking way you read that through my body language."

.

"Your personality."

.

She was flabbergasted. He knew her better in a few hours than her last boyfriend knew her in two years.

.

"Am I wrong?"

.

"No," she said quietly.

"You are absolutely right."

.

He flung his arm into the air.

"One point for Dylan."

.

She couldn't help but smile. She was liking this man more by the minute.

.

"He is playing in Toronto next month."

.

He nodded and wiped his mouth.

"I have my ticket."

.

"You bastard."

.

"What?"

.

"I couldn't get a ticket."

.

He laughed. "I have connections."

.

"Fucker."

.

"Heyyyyyy."

He pretended to be hurt.

.

"I'm sorry."

.

"That's ok. My parents are Dylan nuts. When he goes on tour so do they. They follow him from town to town."

.

"Are you serious?"

.

He nodded.

"They have for the past ten years. They have backstage passes to every show sent to them by Bob himself."

.

"Fuck off."

.

He was now laughing.

"They have been friends for years."

.

"And you?"

.

"I know Bobby well. We even vacationed together."

.

She glared at him.

"Bullshit."

.

He wiped his hands and reached into his pocket. He took out his wallet and opened it. He passed it to her.

.

She looked at the picture showing. It was a picture of him and Bob Dylan at poolside at some resort.

She turned the picture. There was a picture of him and a very beautiful woman.

"No girlfriends eh. Always rejected. Righttttttt."

She turned the wallet so he could see the picture.

"Who is this beauty?"

.

"Oh, her. Oops."

.

She nodded.

"So you are full of shit."

.

He threw up his arms.

"I confess."

.

"So who is she. Your wife?"

.

He could tell by the look on her face that she was a little upset.

He shook his head.

"My sister."

.

"Right."

.

He took the wallet from her and showed her another picture. It was of him, the woman and an older couple.

.

"My Mom and Dad, me and my sister James. Well her name is Jamie."

.

She looked at the pic.

"You look like your Dad."

.

He nodded.

"Yea. Like Dad always says. Sorry Dylan, but my genes were more powerful."

.

"Your Dad is very handsome."

.

He blushed slightly.

.

She noticed.

"I said your Dad is, not you."

.

"I know."

.

She tossed the wallet at him.

"You are so sensitive."

.

"What about you?"

.

"What," she snapped.

.

"Your face almost dropped when you thought Jamie was my wife."

.

She was about to say something, but stopped.

She ate several more tacos and sipped her beer.

"She is beautiful."

.

He nodded.

"She is, but she can't hold a torch to you."

.

"Now I know you're full of shit."

.

"I don't lie, Vickie. I told you what I thought."

.

She ate some celery. She could feel her skin flush.

"Ok. Time to change the subject again."
