A Summer breeze makes me feel fine, blowing though the jasmine in my mind.

Let’s talk about it…

Reggie is a fifty-year-old business owner of a night club and theatrical theater. Approximately fifteen years ago, he purchased a two-story warehouse in downtown Miami. He converted the upstairs to a theatre that promoters can rent for musical events. The downstair of the warehouse was converted to a night club that has a stage for entertainers, also it has two dance floors, and two full bars; one bar is located in the back of the club, and the second bar is located in the front of the club. The entrance to the theatrical theater is on the next street, parallel to the club entrance. Reggie has never been married or in a serious relationship with one woman. He has a twenty-one-year-old son from a lady he briefly dated twenty-two years ago. Reggie proudly wears the title Womanizer. He has repeatedly expressed to his friends that there are too many women in the world to be committed to only one. He has been intimated with many of the women that frequent his club. Reggie’s son Bobby has completed a three-month training course in bartending. He has past the RBS Certification exam and is now legally able to serve alcohol. Bobby has collaborated with his dad Reggie to work with the club head bartender. Now that Bobby is twenty-one years old, his dad feels the need to take him under his wings and teach him how to become a man in the same image of himself. Reggie feels allowing Bobby to work as a bartender at the club will help him in meeting women as he shows him the do’s and don’ts of being intimate without commitment.

A bottle girl, who works at the club has capture Bobby’s attention. Bobby’s dad Reggie has caught him talking to the bottle girl in private several times during working hours. Reggie pulled his son aside to let him know that dating or becoming intimate with anyone who work at the club is prohibited. Reggie tells his son; “look son, if this happen again, after this warning, then one person involved in the relationship will have to been fire.” Reggie express to Bobby that the door is open to the woman who frequent the club but doesn’t work at the club. He tells him; “son it’s like going to a buffet meal. You can choose as many as you like; as much as you want of the frequent flyers.” One night Reggie decided to help his son by introducing him to a young woman his age. The woman had come into the club to reserve a private area for her and several of her friends to celebrate her twenty first birthday. After completing paperwork for the reserved space, Reggie takes the woman to meet his son. He expressed to the woman that his son would be more than happy to serve as their private bartender. He also suggests that they exchange phone numbers should they both have any questions before the event on the coming Friday night. After the woman leaves the club, Reggie tells his son; “this is lesson number one on how to capture a woman of interest, who is a guest of the club. If you play your cards right, by following my advice, you will have her in your bed within one day of her event here at the club.” Bobby laughed before bumping fist with his dad. He tells his dad, “Okay pops, I am all ears. Advise me on what to do and I will make it happen.” The father and son duo, grab one hand to shake then pulled each other in to bump shoulders as they laughed and walked off in separate directions.

Friday, the night of the private event has arrived. Bobby makes sure the private event is setup near the bar located in the back of the club. He has assigned a server to the private event so that all orders for food and drinks can be handled as soon as possible. Bobby goes over to see how things is going one hour after the private event started. The birthday girl was one drink away from becoming drunk and was very happy with the service. Her friends made OOOd and AAWd sounds as they witness Bobby whispering in her ear and kissing her on the neck. Bobby personally escorts the birthday girl to her ride share car after the event was over.

As instructed by his dad, Bobby calls the birthday girl, the next day, after her event, to check on her. She expressed her gratitude for his thoughtfulness in checking on her as well as for a wonderful time at the club. Bobby asked her if she has a hangover. As soon as she said yes, Bobby offers to bring her a club remedy that helps with hangovers. “To be honest states Bobby, I am looking for a reason to invite myself to your home. I would love an opportunity to get to know you better.” Bobby was surprised to receive an invite so quickly without hesitation, to the birthday girl’s house that evening. Just as his father said, he was in her bed within a day after her event at the club. Bobby has become a master of the skills his father has taught him. He is spending intimate time with many of the young women he meets in the club.

A lady who has frequent the club since it has been in business recommend it to her friend Jasmine who is looking for a place to have her 40^th birthday celebration. Jasmine is not a club kind of girl. She prefers to rent a banquet hall and hire a DJ and Caterer. She is an interior decorator and therefore feels she can use her skills to decorate a hall using some of the furniture she rents out through her Rent-A-Center store. Jasmine friend convince her to come check out the club before making a final decision. Jasmine has often attended theatrical events at Reggie’s theatre. She has always admired the interior decorations of the theatre. Jasmine friend capture her attention when she told her the owner of the theatre is the same owner of the club. Jasmine was curious to go see the interior of the club. Jasmine’s friend makes an appointment with Reggie to tour and discuss having an event at the club. The friend explained to Reggie, that she has been to his club several times since its opening, and that the appointment is for her friend Jasmine, who is not a club goer. She tells him, for this reason, she will come with Jasmine to tour and discuss the possibility of having an event at the club. Reggie thanks the friend for recommending his club after setting the appointment time for two days later on a Wednesday at 4:00pm.

Jasmine was just as impressed with the interior décor of the club as she is of the theatre. However, she still has concerns about her friends coming to a club; especially since many of her friends are not club goers. Reggie is smitten with Jasmine; there is something about her that he cannot put into words. He is determined to personally know more about her in order to find out what is that “IT factor” she has that appears to be different from the women he had casual sexual intimacy within the past. Reggie expressed to Jasmine that he understands her concerns. He assures her, his club is an upscaled safe environment that does not cater to street life individuals. He tells Jasmine, this is why his door fee to get in the club is very high. Also, that he doesn’t want to jeopardize the safety of his theatrical visitors.

Reggie offers to have his staff build a private room for her event by putting 10 feet partitions up to separate the front section of the club from the back section of the club. It would be very much like a huge cubicle with a private opening for only her guest. The back bar, dance floor and bathrooms will be in the private room. Two security guards will be placed at the entrance of the private room to make sure no one without a wrist band will enter. Several U-shaped seats with rectangle tables will be placed throughout the room. Jasmine was impressed with Reggie’s suggestion to create a private room. She loves the details he outlined about the room. She agreed to give it a chance. The event was scheduled to take place in two weeks on a Saturday. Reggie found reasons to keep the communication between him and Jasmine open. He directly contacted her each step of the process in building the private room. He would text her an updated picture of the process with a follow up phone call for her input. They spend a lot of time talking over the phone for the next two weeks. Their conversations eventually became personal. This is the first time Reggie engage in a deep conversation with a woman. Usually, he is a Wam Bam thank you Mam; hit it and run man. He cannot believe the joy he is receiving from talking to Jasmine. Reggie made it a point to be available at Jasmine event. The event went well. Jasmine was so elated with how things went. She asked Reggie if she could take him to dinner as a token of thanks to show her gratitude for a job well done. Reggie replied with No; then he piggy back her with, let me take you to dinner to thank you for giving my club a chance to show you and your friends who isn’t club goers another perception of clubs. I heard many of your friends saying they would definitely come back to my club. Therefore, it is I who needs to be thanking you. Jasmine accepts Reggie invite to dinner. Reggie and Jasmine agreed to meet at the restaurant of Jasmine choose.

When Jasmine arrived at the restaurant, Reggie was waiting at a table with flowers. He stood up to greet her and pull her chair out for her to sit. Jasmine kiss him on the cheek as she thanks him for the beautiful flowers. Reggie and Jasmine discussed the food choices on the menu. They both asked each other which dish sounds appealing to you. When the waiter came Reggie gave him both food orders including drinks. Jasmine was impressed; it made her smile to see him take charge as a gentleman who stood when she arrived and pulled her chair out for her to sit. The conversation at dinner went well. They both participated in the conversation and listen to what each other had to say. After dinner, Reggie tells Jasmine, that he would love to take her on dinner dates to get to know her better. Jasmine looks at him smiling without saying a word. Reggie asked if her smile means yes. She nods her head up and down at the same time she is saying yes. I guess this means it’s okay for me to call you to talk from time to time. Jasmine replied “yes, you can call me.” As they left the restaurant, Reggie held Jasmine hand. He walks her to her car, and made sure she was safely secure in her seat belt. He asked Jasmine if she wants him to follow her home to make sure she makes it safely. Jasmine tells Reggie, she will be okay but promise to text him once she makes it home. Reggie kiss her on the cheek after replying; okay, drive safe beautiful. After receiving Jasmine text, Reggie laid in bed daydreaming about Jasmine. He couldn’t believe he was smitten by a woman. He didn’t know what to do with his feelings. It felt good and scary at the same time. This woman has my heart in the palms of her hands. After hearing himself think those thoughts out loud, he couldn’t believe those words came out his mouth. Reggie and Jasmine continued to talked regular over the phone and go on dates. The two have become very close and is exclusively dating each other.

Bobby noticed something was different about his dad. He watched his dad flow around the club like a happy bouncing butterfly. It was like his body was presence; but his mind was somewhere in the clouds. He kept asking his dad if he was okay. Yeah man, why do you keep asking me that same question? A security guard was passing by as he overheard Bobby conversation with his dad. The security guard joined the conversation by answering the question for Reggie. He tells Bobby, your dad is in love man; your dad is in love. What! Shouts Bobby. It’s impossible for my dad to be in love. He has never ever been in a serious relationship with a woman. How can he be in love? The security guard starts laughing as he replies; “I see you never met Jasmine.” Who is Jasmine asked Bobby? Ask your dad, I need to go sign in to begin my shift. “Dad, who is Jasmine?” She is a summer breeze sweet scented flower blowing through my mind. I met her several months ago in July here at the club when she celebrated her 40^th birthday. “Wow Dad, I never heard you talk about anyone the way you are talking about Jasmine. What happen to the man that raised me? Could it be you have fallen in love?” Son, I know I have fallen in love. I never though I could feel this way. For fifty years I played with woman minds; now mines have been captured by a woman I cannot get her off of my mind. It’s like someone has hit the replay button on a one sentence lyric song called Summer Breeze. The words “Summer breeze makes me feel fine blowing through the Jasmine in my mind” keeps playing over and over again in my head. I think the song is telling me it’s time to get marry and settle down son. As a matter of fact, son, I know the song is telling me it’s time to get marry.
