From left to right the ladies names were revealed.
"I'm Adreonna,"
the woman sitting closest to Gigolo began,
"and
sitting next to me is Traci. Now on the other side of the table you have
Xavia, Jes and Tanya."
As the fellas took in the information, Cupid felt compelled to
introduce himself and the rest of the fellas to the ladies.
"Well I'm Cupid,"
he began as he slid his business card in the
direction of Tanya, and sitting next to me is my man Calorie. Then you
got Gigolo, Charles and Walter."
"With the exception of Charles and Walter,"
Adreonna asked,
"is there
any reason your names are what they are?"
"They come with either work or college,"
Cupid answered.
"Please explain,"
Jes asked.
"Well,"
Cupid began,
"I go by Cupid because I have a tendency to play
match maker. Gigolo goes by Gigolo because he's been known to be a
ladies' man. And Calorie, he got his name on the football field.
"That is very interesting,"
Traci said.
"Thank you,"
the guys said in unison.
"Now that we've got names and meanings out of the way, will there be
any fifth wheels tonight?"
Adreonna asked.
The fellas looked at each other for a response, then Cupid answered.
"Hopefully not, but the fifth wheel is whomever you make."
"Well,"
Traci said as she looked over the room,
"actually, there might
end up being five spare tires tonight, 'cause I know for a fact that there
will be at least two."
With a chuckle from Adreonna she agreed.
"What do you mean by that?"
Cupid asked.
"Nothing,"
Tanya inserted.
As the night went on, a few songs got the bodies of the ladies moving.
Calorie and Charles thought to ask Adreonna and Traci to dance, but
decided against it. Then, with the ladies still dancing in their seats,
Cupid took the opportunity to ask Traci to dance.
"Only if you plan to get your groove on."
"In more ways than one if you like."
"Down boy,"
she said as she led him to the dance floor.
