You Look Wonderful Tonight
On my door I heard
A quiet knock.
A quarter to six
I smiled
as I spied the clock.
I felt out of place
In this new frock.
I already missed
My leather and suede
"Come in,"
I softly bade.
O'Boyle went all out tonight
Shaved, bathed and dressed
What a sight.
I wandered over
And brushed his cheek.
Laughing as I did speak.
"You look so different
Without the scruff."
"Good or bad?"
"Just not so tough."
"Ah, that's part of my plan
You see,
To make them all
Underestimate me."
"Anyone who
Would underestimate you
Deserves to be taken,
Their pockets shaken."
I felt nervous
Under his gaze.
His eyes assessing
As he appraised.
I stepped back
So he could see
to assess
The rest of me.
I even did a little twirl.
"So, do I clean up well
for an Injun girl?"
The look in his eyes
Took me by surprise
But it was just a flick
It disappeared quick
Making me wonder
If it was a trick.
"Seriously, though do I look alright?
This corset feels awfully tight."
He walked around me
and undid the strings
It amazed me how
he made short work of the thing
He adjusted it so I could breathe.
Something I was grateful
he could achieve.
"I'd ask where you learned that
But I'm sure I can guess."
He smirked at me for a half a second
No more, no less.
He held out his arm,
"Shall we go greet your guests?"
I link my arm with him and smile, "Let's!"
He smiles back,
his hand covers mine,
his touch was light.
"By the way Boss,
you look wonderful tonight."
