I was looking for something in particular in gray or black...silk...a blouse not for me...for my elder sister...for her thirty-second birthday...three days off.
The blouse has to have a six button minimum. Buttons Ophelia will use to signal another without a word spoken of Ophelia's interest and intentions should the right person and she cross paths while Ophelia is out on the town on the prowl for a partner for the evening. Her marriage is no longer viable, on-the-rocks so to speak and she turns to one-nighters in place of.
"Bobby no longer satisfies me," Ophelia has confessed a number of times over the last three months,
Ophelia and Bobby have been married for six years. These days the ailment arrives earlier and earlier than that infamous
seven-year-itch
.
"I've been scratching on my own for too long," she complained yesterday during dinner at Roman's.
After half an hour wandering about the aisles of Silver Bells Super Store on the North Lake Road I am ready to give up the search. Outdoors the temperature hovers near eighty degrees and a blue bird sky stretches from horizon to horizon and here am I enjoying the buzz of fluorescent lighting fixtures and the scent of the unwashed. I include myself among the unwashed. The unusually high temperature overwhelms the fragrance of the roll-on deodorant I applied this morning.
Half way between to
exit
and one last look I hear the scuffing of leather soles strolling slowly an aisle over. I find the sound more seductive that four inch heels clicking on hardwood. I am lured toward the source. When I turn the corner stage
left
I am just three steps behind a statuesque blonde woman. She has a wayward wiggle in her walk telegraphing the message
I'm here...I'm gorgeous... come see me
.
The blonde's wear-worn Levi's are slung dangerously low to slim hips. The cuffs are flared; worn down to a collection of individual threads. She is a half-inch short of the infamous;
plumber-butt
. Slightly more than a hand high the thick seam that runs front to back of her Levi's is pulled high and tight into the divide. The seam rides deeper than one might expect between her classically defined buttocks. Looking hard as marble her butt is packed perfectly in denim.
I wonder if the denim rubs her the right way when she's in need...I can only imagine.
I wonder what she looks without... again I can only imagine.
I wander from my appointed task.
Snap out of it
...
I am hot for a better look and a chance to say a
hello
. The passage through
lady's wear
is quick. The blonde seems to know where she is headed and I've squandered enough time in search of a blouse for Ophelia to fulfill my sisterly obligation.
In short order Blondie and I are in
grocery.
"When you need one most...
"When you can't do without ...
"You can't find a ripe banana," the beautifully built blonde says to anyone within earshot in a melodic sing-song voice while she fiddles sensuously with a single green banana she plucked from the bunch in the
produce
department.
I find myself wanting for a better look and she finds me staring like a pubescent boy. Now face to front I see the blonde is extremely endowed.
Stacked
our proverbial pubescent boy might say. The male of our species often refer to such lovely twins in the colloquial;
melons
. Hers are the personal sized variety but
melons
just the same; each a healthy handful.
I finally resort to words to answer her complaint.
"There's a fungus killing the banana plants around the world. I've read various publications that say it's going to get worse as the fungus spreads...they're picking them early to save what can be saved..."
Blondie nods as if she understands or is aware of the
banana pandemic
but there is a blank look in those Betty Davis blues.
She knows nothing of the doom of which I speak and I can't look away.
She appears to be the real life embodiment of the ditzy blonde and I can't look away...
Blondie does nothing to conceal the plump breasts that now have the attention of several passers-by. She passes them around visually without a blush. They seem to float there before one's eyes delicately harnessed in a retro style halter she wears well. She is the proud bearer of a pair of double DD's and it is plain to see she enjoys the attention.
Blondie is
vintage '60s
in every way but for her hair which is layered in an up to date style
pixie-like
. Hair to heel hers is a comfy look on the eyes for the first of autumn.
She and I are equal in height but she has three or four cup sizes on me depending on who is taking the measurements.
Blondie and I share an impish smile. Blondie and I know what it is we are thinking.
Rosy apple cheeks glow when the corners of her smile ripen and reach their apex.
"I shop here often and never expected this...to be hit on by such a lovely woman. Pleasure seems to be in the offering if I'm reading that look correctly..."
