Part 14
"Poet if I we didn't have the history that we do I wouldn't be able to see through the curtain of your words, yet I do."
"I don't know about the harem or the baker's dozen, but I know you mean well. Thank you Poet for lending me your ear."
"Anytime Mario, just be cool, waves will come at you and you can't let them erode your beach."
The coffee had gotten cold, the bagels stale and I had a date with Jessica that evening.
When we parted, I felt I had done right by my friend.
Walked out of this bagel joint smelling of lox and capers and Susy was a distant memory, I had Jessica cravings.
She was the almond eyed auburn hair temptation that had tempted me of late.
Jessica was an uncomplicated to the point kind of river that never seized to run.
As soon as I sat in the seat of my Über drivers car I glued my head phones to my skull and wicked designs on how to run Jessica over and over appeared in my mind.
Got to her place in Merrick Park a new swanky uproot that had laid claim to the effervescent trend setters of the day.
She opened the door wearing only her smile and smelling of daisies, looking like every hunger pain I'd ever had would be filled.
The French background noise serenaded me into silence. I kissed her and tugged at her strands letting myself be felt.
Her bed bounced on the hardwood floor till it ended on the opposite side of the room. Her eyes would stare into mine looking for my soul as her river ran.
The devil lives inside all of us and mine had come out to play with Jess.
Her fair skin turned crimson and her hair tangled in a hot mess.
Dinner was next.
Bocce Bar was the latest incarnation of my culinary exploits.
Dinner went without a hitch we were both in need of red blood cells.
Between dessert and the Limoncello the evening got sticky.
She batted her gorgeous eyes at my armor and I melted as her sweet lips said due over next Friday Poet.
I skirted responding with a smile and a kiss that left my lips aware that it wasn't in the cards.
I was yearning for European short hair confused kind of girls and away I would go.
To be continued.
