I looked back at the table. I saw Paul say something to Jim and Tom. Then they all looked at me. I wondered what they were talking about. My heart started racing wondering what Paul had told them.
The song ended and we headed back to the table. Tom handed Karen and I drinks. He raised his glass.
"Cheers to the two hottest women on the dance floor," he said.
"Here, here," said Paul.
A little flush came over me.
"You're a lucky man Mark," said Jim.
"I know," said Mark.
Jim got a little more, um, forward? "She's one of the hottest women I've met," he said. "Right guys?"
They all agreed, "Yes. You bet. Absolutely," they all exclaimed.
"Do you mind if I dance with her?" Jim asked.
I kinda liked that they asked Mark and not me. It took the responsibility of deciding off my shoulders.
