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."
