I was due to be at a bar for a friend's birthday party. I was running about 30 minutes early so I decided to make a stop in The Edition Hotel bar just off Oxford Street and around the corner from the venue I was headed to.
I walked into the bar area and was pleased to see it was not yet that busy - ideal for a pre-party drink. And then - sat at the end of the long bar - I saw them.
It was a Black guy sat at the bar having a drink with a beautiful white girl. I would say he was in his early thirties, very dark skinned and with a shaved bald head. He wasn't the biggest of guys - but he had that very toned, athletic look that many Black guys have. He was wearing a black shirt and blue jeans.
The white girl he was sat with was just an incredible sight. She was young and beautiful. I would guess she was no older than eighteen or nineteen, tall and slim, with long, blonde hair. She was just so perfect. She was clearly dressed up for a Saturday night out - wearing a white top and a very shot denim skirt - with that ultimate favourite of mine: knee-high black leather boots! She had beautiful legs - the perfect skin of her perfect thighs so smooth in the light...
I found myself a table to sit and have my drink where I could observe this couple as subtly as possible.
I soon picked up the vibe. I got the impression from watching them that they had not been together too long - and that he was in control and doing the work to ensure that he got the result he wanted. They sat and talked quite intimately for a while - he was leaning in to her and frequently looking into her eyes or whispering in her ear. She seemed to be responding and I realised with excitement that I might be witnessing another beautiful young white girl about to be claimed - and I found myself secretly hoping that this Black guy would find success tonight!
I could have sat and watched all night long - but when I checked my watch it was time for me to be at the party. So I got up and started to head out from the bar. The last thing I saw was that the Black guy had his hand resting on the young white girl's smooth thigh.
I made my way to the party thinking about the couple and the guy who looked like he was set to get an incredible gift that night...
