The Day I Kissed An Older Man

"I'm familiar with these parts. Let me know who you're looking for and I might just happen to know them!" The man promptly extended his hand to block Melody's path when he saw her attempt to walk around him. "Don't be in such a hurry to leave. That's just plain rude. I'm just helping you out of the kindness of my heart. Don't just ignore me like that."

Having nowhere to go after being blocked, Melody dealt patiently with him and said, "I came with a male companion, and I'd like to go meet him now. Could you please let me through?"

She believed that she had spoken in as polite a manner as possible, but the man seemed to misunderstand her and grow angry. "Who is he? Tell me!"

"I'm under no obligation to tell you that." Melody tried to avoid engaging in a conversation with that man, but he continued to block her way. Melody's expression soured and she asked with a sigh, "What do you want from me?"

"Well, I want you to have a drink with me! I can let you leave," the man said as he casually took a glass of wine from the table and handed it to Melody. "But you must raise me a toast before you go!" Melody looked at the wine glass in front of her but hesitated to take it. Her alcohol tolerance was not too bad, and a glass of wine was just fine. However, drinking alcohol had landed her in danger twice, and she could not tell if the wine was spiked. She was not that naive to think that she could be allowed to leave just by drinking that glass of wine. Once she started drinking, he would probably push her to drink a second, then a third, up until she got drunk!
