Hey, bro! Listen up, do you remember that party which was two days ago? I met so handsome girl over there, and she just stuck in my head! I always think about her. I forgot to take her phone number! Do you know her name? She was staying alone with some drink. What I noticed is that her eyes were brown colour. She looked at me and we smiled to each other. Gosh, her lips are huge with white teeth. She had short black hair. What I am telling you is she definitely does some sports, because her red dress looked so good on her that I could see her curvy shapes of her body. Man, I really want to know her!
