Craving Vision

He'd been an hour waiting, taking his time, thinking what he would say.

Hi there - fancy a drink, hey, maybe we could meet up, I've been meaning to tell you that I'm falling for you.

Or, he chuckled to himself, come with me if you want to live. Eighties kid.

He would have to layer it on. He would need to see the white of her eyes. He always needed see the whites of their eyes.

He sidled up to her at the bar. The bar-keep kept. Disinterestedly.

This is going to be a good night.

“I've got this feelin'” a feeling that he indulged. That he entertained. As he entertained. As he continued to ply her with cocktails and buy her an attitude. He’d make sure that it won't subside. It would grow. Reach.

He'd chosen her from...for...her eyes.

He’d done it several times before. Great idea.

Pleasing.

He'd never been caught.

It was easy.

“I look at you”, he would tell them as he caked on a new layer of flattery.

And he would layer it on. 

“Natalie... I fantasise”

‘You're mine tonight now’, he'd think. He'd know.

The hard work was done.

That's Game.

He squinted. I've got you in my sights.

He stroked Jasper. What pleasure you have brought me, my friend, with your yellow, your black stripes, with your hearty appetite. What pleasure you bring me with your hungry eyes.

He thought of Natalie. Natalie with the pretty eyes. One look at you, Jasper is satisfied. Jasper will love me. And I can't disguise that he will love you.

You’re satisfied - his hungry eyes.... satisfied.

Natalie - another Cosmo? Of course... allow me. Perhaps a chaser?

You know, I kind of feel the magic between you and I...I.....I ....I  wanna hold you so why don’t we get out of here before they play the slowies....? Whadda you say?

“I know it's soon, I know we just met but hear me out. When it's right, it's right”

“I wanna show you how I feel. Maybe tonight is the night we both work out this life we’re creeping through? Come on. Take a chance. What have you got to lose, darlin'?

Come back with me. Come back home with me. I got something that I want to share with you.

She comes. Oh my God, she actually comes.

Now I've got you in my sights.

Game and set.

Jasper looking at me. I can feel your hungry kind of feeling, with those beautiful hungry kind of eyes. Patience, my love.

Natalie - one look at you and I can't disguise the many Cosmopolitans I've bought you. No, I'm just kidding.

I've got hungry  - how about a sandwich, some peanuts? Eyes feel the need for nuts. Sorry, maybe I've had one too many myself.

Don't worry about that noise. I have a small Chihuahua dog. I'll  introduce you. I think you are really going to get on. But you know I really feel the magic between you and I...

I've got hungry eyes

Now I've got you in my sights

With those hungry eyes

Did I take you by surprise?

I need you to see

This love was meant to be

Game and Set and Match.
