Banquet

I was never one who was very comfortable at large social events and though I typically drawn to exotic foods, the banquet just wasn't something I wanted to attend. Trying to avoid it all I tried to schedule my work load so that I would be out of town on the day of the banquet, but at the last minute the project was canceled and I had no excuse to avoid it. Reluctantly, I rented a tux and on the day of the banquet, I wrestled with my top collar button and then my tie, but finally I was fully costumed.

The banquet was held at a fancy downtown hotel and while I didn't want to spend a lot of time there, I did rent a room so I wouldn't have to worry about driving through the city late at night. The area around the hotel was pretty good, it's just that I have a hard enough time getting my bearings while driving downtown during the day I wasn't about to try it at night.

I checked into the room and then went up to drop off a small overnight bag. I then headed back down the elevator and walked across the lobby toward the banquet room. I was just about to enter when I noticed a tall, attractive woman wearing a stunning light blue gown. She seemed to be either waiting for someone or building up the courage to enter the room.

Taking a chance I wandered over to her and said quietly, "It usually takes me some time to build up the courage to go in, you waiting for someone or taking a moment before going in."

"Oh, I'm supposed to be at another affair, but yeah, I know what you mean about building up your courage. At least you can kind of blend in, with this dress I feel like a bright light bulb in a pitch black room."

"Why do you say that?"

"I don't know, it seems a bit too much, I feel like the center of attention," she said, looking around nervously.

"Well, I must say that I think you do attract attention but only because you look so stunning in that dress," I said.

"Oh you are kind, but..."

"But nothing, you are drop dead gorgeous. Quite frankly the most attractive woman I have seen since I got here, and the dress is pretty incredible."
