Waves of glorious flaxen hair rippled over her shoulders, swaying and bouncing with every high-heeled, leggy stride she took.
Never one to shy away from attention, especially that of the male population, she confidently waltzed down Fifth Avenue toward Saks, stunning in red Jimmy Choo thigh-high boots, a snow-white fur coat, and a single strand of pearls.
Admiring looks didn’t intimidate her; they titillated her, challenged her to be more daring and quite a bit risqué. It was all a game and she loved to play.
As she strolled the avenue, stopping to look at the exceptional Christmas displays in the store windows, she noticed the reflection of a man leaning drowsily against a parked car. Accustomed to men looking her way, she thought nothing of it at first but found herself glancing at his image more often than usual. Sliding her Ray Bans a little down her nose, she gave this mystery man’s reflection a furtive peek. Intriguing.
Repositioning her glasses, she continued window shopping, collecting all the longing glances cast her way and storing them in her bag like so many colorful Christmas lights. Every so often she’d linger at a quaint little shop or gallery, acutely aware of her mystery man shadowing her along the way. Now this was starting to get interesting. Slowly she removed her shades and gave his reflection a long look.
Why not? Slipping her sunglasses on, she turned around to a vision that caught her breath …. from head to toe the epitome of elegance and charm. Raven hair, tanned skin, black cashmere coat draped over his arm, charcoal grey pinstripe suit, crisp white shirt, black and silver Art Deco tie and Italian shoes …. not black but the exact color of his suit. Nice touch; the paragon of haute couture.
She smiled. He smiled. She turned slowly, giving him ample time to fall into place beside her.
She continued walking, no longer followed by a mysterious shadow but side-by-side with an intriguing companion. Together they would take the road wherever it led them.

A chance encounter, a positive one too, hopefully.

Interesting, Keith; my working title was “Chance Encounter”!
They certainly seem to make a lovely couple, physically.
I wonder if it will carry over beyond the physical.

WOW! All that out of that one word “exceptional”. I think I’ll start shopping at the malls instead of Walmart. Although the old guy greeter at WM always speaks to me and I’m sure his eyes are following me.
Actually he is very nice and friendly and I always say good morning back. 🙂
And actually it is my husband who is keeping a close eye on me. 😉

Gee, I wish we had a Walmart nearby!
We have Nieman Marcus, Nordstrom, Saks and Bloomingdales,
and they all cater to the elite ladies who think their farts don’t smell.

There is already too much self-infatuation in the relationship, and it has only just begun. It won’t last long, and when it ends, it will be nasty.

Hmm …. I guess that’s a chance they’ll have to take.
Since I’m rarely ignored, I wouldn’t know about going ballistic. 😎
