Wrote this mostly for my own amusement really, I hope the internal monologue works...
Well, hello there...
by Jamee Gray
Woah.
You’re gorgeous. Haven’t seen anyone like you in here for a long time. And you’re sitting on your own! What’s up with that? Just stirring that drink round and round.
Maybe it’s time to talk to you. Sidle up to the chair next to you and---
Nah. You don’t look like the kind who would be impressed by sidling.
Could just say something maybe. Ask how you are. Might be worth a go. Sit down next to you. “Well, hello there…”
Ha! As if! But you certainly are mesmerising. Can’t stop looking at you. You look perfect. Even the antennae. Never noticed how hot they can be. Right. It’s time to actually do it. Talk to the most beautiful girl in the universe.
Wait.
Shit.
You are a girl, aren’t you?
You look like one. But what if you aren’t. That would be awkward.
What if you’re a shapeshifter or something. Or one of those races that doesn’t have male and female – just one. Or loads. How does that work, anyway?
Nah, you’ve gotta be a girl. You can’t be that gorgeous and not be. Right. Time to talk to you.
Just gotta prepare. Ruffle the hair. Have another drink. Will just slide over to you.

Go…
Sit down next to you. “Well hello, how are you?”
Oh. Bye then.
Not really convinced that sort of language is necessary though. Was just saying hi.
Sigh.
