Flirting

            A lot of people will tell you that flirting is mostly just for fun. I agree in full, I love it, but I have my own methods of having fun with advances of the flirtatious type. Over the years I have gradually started doing odd and silly things to illicit all kinds of responses from people who have dared to flirt with me.

Naturally, I have tons of stories from these events, but my absolute favorite happened when I was in Florida with my two best friends.

            It was late at night and while Lauren and Rachel wanted to go to the beach, I desperately wanted a virgin pina colada.  We walked all over this island in our bathing suits in pitch darkness trying to find a bar that didn’t already have alcohol mixed in with their pina colada slush.

 

Sadly, we weren’t able to find one.  However, we did come across a gas station that advertized “Refreshing Slushies”.  I was thrilled.

 

Inside we discovered a weird assortment of unfamiliar slushie brands and flavours.  I mean, I had a feeling things would be a little strange since we were in a completely different state, but even the cup sizes were ridiculous.  They had tiny, slightly less tiny, and quite large.  There was no middle ground.

            We decided our best bet was to get a quite large slushie and just share it.  We all agreed that “Peach Punch” was the least threatening of the strange slushie flavours, purchased our slushie and departed the store.

            Sometime later, a white truck containing several drunk men turned onto the street we were walking down and saw three, young women walking around in bathing suits passing a slushie back and forth.  The truck slowed down a bit as they passed us, the man in the passenger seat leaned his head out the window and shouted, “Hey ladies~!”

            

             Rachel and Lauren were in the process of responding with an equally flirtatious, “Hey~!” before I cut them off halfway through by projecting the most unattractive noise I could muster and holding it for about five seconds.  The man with his head out the window exclaimed, “What the fuck?!” and the truck sped up and was out of sight in no time.

            

             The whole event lasted about 15 seconds and I was laughing for a good 10 minutes after that.  Hell, I'm still laughing.

            I love Florida.
