Cherry (180 Words)

Dedicated to JJ, because she offered me the plot for this umm...totally sweet and innocent piece ;-)

Damn, she was pretty.

No, beautiful.

Na ah.

She was... captivating.

Alluring?

Mind-blowing?

Breathtaking?

Angelic?

Ethereal?

Ah, I savvy.

Accurate word hasn't been invented.

She stood before me,

Lucky palms gliding over satin and lace,

As she turned this way and that,

For my perusal.

--How do I look?-- she asked me.

--Does it look okay?--

Okay?

Try sexy multiplied by ten.

Curvaceous woman could work a burlap sack!

Lingerie?

She should win an award for that little number.

I didn't say any of this.

Just nodded, as my vocal cords were constricted.

She sauntered toward me,

Bouncing in all the right places.

Honey mango clung to soft skin,

Cherry scented mouth smiling.

Audibly gulping,

My heart raced,

Body inflamed,

Palms itched to touch,

Mouth yearned to taste.

Standing close enough I could feel her heat,

Those cherry lips parted,

Causing my breath to catch,

My eyes beginning to close...

--It's on sale, right?--

I blinked.

--Oh! Yes-- I replied. --Half off--

Cherry smile grew.

--I'll take it!--

Shakily, I returned her smile.

--Great. Meet you at the register, ma'am--
