Scanning the road ahead, I smile at my good fortune, there right in front of my favourite café, is an empty parking spot.
I turn the big Harley Davison into the space, the deep rumbling of the twin chrome exhaust bouncing off of the shop windows.
As I swing the motorcycle around, so that the front wheel is facing the road.
I see you walking towards me on the side walk.
Head down, wearing black doctor martins boots, dark tights, jean shorts and a white blouse. You look annoyed at the noise of my bike and hurry past.
Turning off the engine, kicking the side stand down and parked.
I look back over my shoulder to see, as you walk behind me.
Your short at 4'11" and cute with great slightly chubby legs.
Although I can no longer see your face because it's hidden by your long brown tousled hair. I take a moment to appreciate your round arse cheeks wiggling in your shorts.
Pausing for a moment I check myself...no matter how curvy she is, she's less than half my age....I'm past it .....shame!
As you depart, I notice something fall from a pink lever arch file that your carrying....it flutters gently to the ground. Hurriedly I walk to where it fell, as I take off my helmet.....it's a birthday card in cellophane wrapper.
Picking it up and hurriedly striding to catch you up. My heavy bike boots thumping behind you.
As I do so, I call, 'er miss, miss, Miss, MISS'. No response......
Reaching you, I gently tap you on the right shoulder.
You jump slightly, spin around, your pretty Asian nose, slightly wrinkled in anger .....'WHAT?'
Seeing that I've obviously annoyed you, I step back.
'Sorry I didn't mean to make you jump', I try to look harmless and sincere (not an easy job in big bike boots, big beard and leather jacket!).
And hold out the card.
'You dropped this....'
Looking down, you recognise the card and look up blushing, 'oh....thank you, I didn't realise I'd dropped it'.
Your face softens and you give me a slightly sheepish grin, as you retrieve the card from my hand. I try too give you my best smile in return.
'I couldn't let you walk off without it, at least I've done my gentlemanly duty for today'.
You place the card back into the folder, and then stand looking up at me, the folder held in your crossed arms in front of your chest.
Again you thank me and start to go.....
'Ohh, one good turn deserves another!' I blurt out quickly.
'As I returned your card, how about you spending 10 minutes with me while I have a coffee?. I'll buy you one too'.?.
You make an obvious show of looking me up and down ( which makes me feel slightly embarrassed and very self aware) and then you reply.....'I guess that's ok, just for 10 minutes though.'
'It's just there'. I point to the café back where the bikes parked and motion my arms to show you the way.
'I'm Bertie, by the way', I hold out my hand as we walk....you reach across and shake it....'.hi I'm Lacy, nice too meet you'. Your hand feels tiny, fragile and warm compared to my sausage fingers lol.
Reaching the door I hold it open for you and follow you inside, there's a short que in front of us.
............................................................................
As we wait for the other customers to be served I ask 'What do you want?' You look up and study the options board, I look down and study you....
You're probably a student (what with the file and this being a university town) but you certainly are astoundingly pretty with dark eyes an light brown skin.
