Sexual tension is good
So I was in Red Bank, walking the block and a half between the bar where my friend DJ A was spinning and my car. I'm wearing a Lip Service red and black plaid dress, courtesy of Hot Topic. Major boobage. As I walk past the fire station, I hear a random jerk yell, "Hey baby, where's the fire?"
I stop. He didn't honestly think that line would actually work, did he? "Dude, that was lame," I shot back.
The firefighters around him think this is the height of hilarity. They're all hanging around the engine, drinking beer in blue plastic cups. Ah, the trials and tribulations of being among the Bravest. They're giving each other hi-fives, giving the piss to the poor fool who actually thought this line had a chance of working.
Random Jerk: That wasn't my A game?
Me: That wasn't even your C game, dude.
Random Jerk: I can't help it...everyone else's D game is my A game.
At which point the firefighters are congratulating me for letting their buddy know just how much of a fool he is, asking me my name, telling me how really really stupid this guy is for hitting on me with such a flimsy-ass line.
Random Jerk: Do you know any lines that would help me out then?
Me: If you have to ask me if I know any lines, you really shouldn't be using any.
"Hey, you're all right!" shouts a random firefighter, now that the poor fool has more than been put in his place. "You have yourself a good night, Cynthia." I wave goodbye to them, presuming to walk back to my car.
I sure hope there weren't any 3-alarm fires going on in Red Bank last night.

Oh hell no, DJ A, you did not go in that direction. Hey, I enjoy sexual tension with male friends as much as (ok, maybe more than) the next girl, but do not think that I'm all for being friends-with-benefits.
Sheesh all I did was text him I didn't hook up--not that I was expecting to--and then ask him if he hooked up with the chick hanging out in his booth. After he tells me he was unsuccessful, he texts me with:
Well, next time that happens we'll just hv to hookup eachother :-)
Damnit, I should have known it was a mistake to tell him Jimmy and I broke up. Maybe I should have picked up the hint when he asked me to wear that Lip Service dress for the second week in a row.
