all　on　their　own。　Dan　laughed　and　Serena　smiled　and　closed　her

eyes；　getting　seriously　down。　Dan　closed　his　eyes　too；　letting　his

body　follow　hers。　It　really　didn’t　matter　that　he　danced　like　a　moron；

or　that　he　was　the　only　one　in　the　room　wearing　a　tuxedo—probably

the　only　one　in　Williamsburg。　He　was　with　her；　and　that　was　what

mattered。

Alone　at　the　table；　Vanessa　finished　first　her　drink　and　then　Dan’s。

Then　she　got　up　and　went　to　sit　down　at　the　bar。

“Nice　shirt；”　the　bartender　remarked　when　he　saw　her。　He　was　in

his　early　twenties；　with　red　hair；　long　sideburns；　and　a　cute；　sly

smile。　Her　sister　was　always　talking　about　how　cute　he　was。

“Thanks；”　Vanessa　said；　smiling　back　at　him。　“It’s　new。”

“You　should　wear　red　more　often；”　he　said。　He　held　his　hand　out。

“I’m　Clark。　You’re　Vanessa；　right？　Ruby’s　sister？”

Vanessa　nodded。　She　wondered　if　he　was　just　being　nice　to　her

because　he　liked　her　sister。

“Can　I　tell　you　a　secret？”　Clark　said。　He　poured　a　few　different

things　into　a　martini　shaker　and　shook　it　up。

Oh；　fuck；　Vanessa　thought。　Here’s　when　he　pours　out　his　heart　and

tells　me　all　about　how　he’s　been　in　love　with　Ruby　forever；　but　she

doesn’t　seem　to　notice　him。　And　he　wants　me　to　play　Cupid　and

blah；　blah；　blah。

“What？”　she　said。

“Well；”　Clark　said。　“I　see　you　and　Ruby　e　in　here　all　the　time。”

Here　he　goes；　thought　Vanessa。

“And　you　never　e　up　to　the　bar　and　talk　to　me。　But　I’ve　kind　of

had　a　crush　on　you　since　I　first　saw　you。”

Vanessa　stared　at　him。　Was　he　joking？

Clark　poured　the　drink　out　of　the　martini　shaker　into　a　short　little

glass　and　squeezed　a　few　limes　into　it。　He　pushed　it　toward　her。　“Try

that；”　he　said。　“It’s　on　the　house。”

Vanessa　picked　up　the　glass　and　tasted　it。　It　tasted　sweet　and　sour

at　the　same　time；　and　she　couldn’t　taste　any　alcohol　in　it　at　all。　It

was　good。

“What’s　it　called？”　she　said。

“Kiss　me；”　Clark　said；　with　an　absolutely　straight　face。

Vanessa　put　the　drink　down　and　leaned　over　the　bar。　Serena　and

Dan　could　dance　their　pretty　asses　off　for　all　she　cared。　She　was

about　to　be　kissed。

The　Kiss　on　the　Lips　DJ　had　just　broken　up　with　her　boyfriend　of　four
