"They say into your early life romance came
And in this heart of yours burned a flame
A flame that flickered one day and died away
Then, with disillusion deep in your eyes
You learned that fools in love soon grow wise
The years have changed you, somehow
I see you now"

Duke ellingtons "sophistiacated lady" played from the radio through the open back door of daisys house.

    Daisy layed leisurely on her folding beach chair, swirling her mary pickford cocktail in her hand. Daisy was dressed in her swimsuit, a one piece, with shorts ending just below her butt.
      The swimsuit was trimmed in white, but it was red gingham, with a white band around the waist, and a tied halter top with a slight plunging neck and an open back.
      She wore a floppy white sunhat, and white sunglasses as she laid, enjoying the warmth of the sun. on her face was a face mask, and her nails were freshly painted in scarlet red.

"Smoking, drinking, never thinking of tomorrow, nonchalant
Diamonds shining, dancing, dining with some man in a restaurant
Is that all you really want?
No, sophisticated lady
I know, you miss the love you lost long ago"

Daisy hummed along softly, sipping her drink.

"Mornin' maudie!" she called, waving across the street

"Mornin' daisy!"

she replied, standing up from watering her plants, shielding her eyes from the sun with her hand.

"Enjoying yourself?"

mauide asked, smirking bit

"Mhm" daisy responded

Maudie chuckled and shook her head.

"8:30 am on a monday morning, that girl." she said to herself, resuming her gardening.

-atticus' pov-

"Mornin' maudie!" called a familiar voice.

The two ladies said good morning to eachother, as I overheard while I finished getting ready.
      Once I stepped out, carrying my briefcase, I headed on my normal walk to work, wondering what miss daisy mae might be up to this morning.

     He came up to daisys yard, but this morning, saw a little more of her than expected. daisys soft, tanned skin seemed to in the sun, her smooth body laid out in the natural spotlight.
       Curvy legs with perfectly plump thighs, a beautifully shaped hourglass waist, attention drawn to it by the band around her swimsuit. Round, perky boobs, taunt, clear skin. Her hips flared out, and her butt matched.
      Petite, but with preportional curves. She was laid there like an art piece, a pinup. Her body seemed as if it has been perfectly poised, and even further, dressed in vibrant red.

"Mornin' atticus..." she said, her voice taking a more flirtatious tone

-atticus pov-

"Mornin' atticus..."

     I looked away, unsure of wether or not I should be seeing her in this state. Truly, I was at a loss for words, for many reasons, but mostly, surprise.
      She was covered in a swimsuit, and in her own yard, but even still it was shocking to see her like this.
     She was a gorgeous young woman, truly very physically blessed, however, I didn't feel right to look at her like this, even if she was in broad daylight and in a swimsuit.
       I could feel my face get a little hot, wether it was from the shock, or the sight, I wasnt sure. Maybe I was just embarrassed, it was impossible to tell.

-daisys pov-

"Biscuits..." I mumbled

     For whatever reason, I longed for him to look at me. It was undeniably respectful that he looked away, but, a part of me craved his attention, even just for a moment, to see me like this.
       To enjoy the sight, to..want me, I suppose. I blushed, feeling a little ashamed, maybe I was a whore. I quickly grabbed my robe, covering up, and removing my sunglasses.

-3rd pov-

     Daisy approached atticus, now covered in her robe. He looked back at her, noticing the darker flush on her cheeks as she avoided eye contact.

"Good morning...miss..daisy"

A small, nervous laugh came from the woman as she tucked a lock of her wavy blonde hair behind her ear habitually, twirling it with her fingers.

"Enjoying the sun...?"

She looked at the ground

"Oh, ehm..yes-ye-yeah yes I uh...I am.."

she nodded

"Beautiful day out"

he said, also not looking at her, rather, at his watch.

"Oh yes, yea is a lovely day"

He nodded

"Just, beautiful.."

A small moment of  silence ensued, daisy rocking on the balls of her feet, her hands behind her back.
    The breeze picked up Daisy's robe, again revealing her bathing suit.
     As if she had been wearing nothing, she quickly and frantically pressed the robe back against her body, in turn causing both of them to blush a bit more.

"Heh... goodness..."

He looked far to the side, putting his hand lightly up to his chin and mouth.

"The breeze is nice today..."
