Eric rolled his neck so it cracked when she asked about his father. When he rolled his neck his medium length goatee lifted enough to reveal a dotted line across his throat with smallish lettering above it that said 'cut here' in all caps. Yet another tattoo.  He couldn't blame her for asking about his father. He had opened that door with his off handed comment. He had been about to change the subject but she beat him to it by apologizing. Or apologizing pf a sorts anyway. But her comment at the end of that apology made him chuckle. He just couldn't keep the smart assed comment from escaping his mouth. Most people had a filter between their brain and their mouth. That filter that told them to think before they spoke. His filter must have been defective cause it always said 'what the hell let's see what happens.' So he responded to her statement about him being a big man by saying. "Lady you got no Idea how true that is." But before she could retort he answered her question while he held up the shot glass and waved two fingers at the waitress.<br/><br/>"I come in here when I wanna listen ta ok music and talk to hot women who's husbands are morons. But naw. I don't hook up here much. Strippers with daddy issues is my go to." He finished with a smirk that said he was kidding. His eyes had flicked down to look at her cleavage when she bent forward. It wasn't that he was planning to bed her, or even trying to. He was just an unapologetic male that appreciated the way a woman was put together. Though, while he didn't attempt to hide his briefly wandering eyes he didn't allow them to linger long before his eyes followed the supple flesh of her neck up to her nearly angelic face and back to those beautiful green eyes. And with a white smile that was a stark contrast to his deeply tanned and rugged face he asked. "So,, umm Heather, you look like a Heather. Do ya always get all dressed up ta come sit and shut down guys while yer man let's ya get bored? Or did ya know I was gonna be here and wanted to give me something to look at?" About the time he finished talking the woman came up and set the two fireballs down which Eric immediately paid for without taking his dark brown eyes off hers.
