THE MYSTERY LADY - THE STORY
A pair of black boots with thin laces was sitting idle on the steps.
The black, silk pants were complimented with white dots & a
white belt with a silver buckle. Her right hand bore a shiny
diamond ring which matched perfectly with the gold watch.
She wore a white, short sleeve, silk shirt w/5 buttons & a silver
trimmed collar. Her long & black wavy hair rested down the
middle of her back. Smooth ivory skin. Lips lightly coated
with cherry lipstick.
She's new 2 the neighborhood. Ev'ry time I saw her, she just sat
there staring off n2 space. She seemed 2 b n deep thought,
& she was always alone. I wondered about her interests,
her likes & dislikes, & do's & don'ts of life. Since I could not get over
my initial shyness, I would continue 2 just wonder. Not 2 mention
that ejection of any kind is a major shock 2 the males' ego.
Maybe I will talk 2 her next time. I'm such a procrastinator.
There's LA DAME DE MYSTÈRE again. Wow! Look at her.
Now I truly believe, 'Milk, It Does A Body Good.' Is now a good time
2 make my move? What should I do? Darn! She's leaving.
Oh well, there goes my chance. Wait. Wait a minute.
She's headed n my direction. She gracefully glided across the
street 'Do Fries Go With That Shake?' As she approached my
driveway, my hands began 2 sweat & my heart started beating
100MPH. She tip-toed up 2 my porch, took another sip of milk &
then she spoke 2 me, 'Bon jour. Je suis Anna Stesia.
I just moved n2 the condo across the street. As shy as I am I don't
believe I came over here. I saw u watching me [BUSTED],
so I decided 2 ntroduce myself. Do u have THE TIME 2 show me
around town? Anna Stesia's hazel eyes & soft voice hypnotized me.
When I regained my composure, I replied, 'Pleased 2 meet u.
It will b my pleasure 2 show u off...I mean show around.'
Then I thought, 'What was n that glass of milk?
Maybe some courage? I think I'll drink a whole gallon with my
dinner.
