Winding down from a tense business meeting, I sat in my car eating a fresh sandwich from the farmer's market I had stopped at on the way home. I was experiencing the release and wind-down that comes from completing something difficult. It was an early Fall day and the sun was warm as it passed through the sun roof, the food was delicious, and I found a radio station that was actually playing music instead of advertising. I had just about finished my sandwich, when a red mustang pulled into the lot and parked in front of me. The doors opened to let out two women with a young girl. The young mother was driving and helped her little girl from the back seat. From the passenger side emerged an elegant lady that looked to be in her mid-forties. I assumed it was three generations from the same family although the passenger seemed too young to have a grandchild already. She sent her daughter and granddaughter ahead while she stayed back at the car.
I was admiring her figure, which looked great in her knee-length black skirt and tight red sweater. She stood about 5'-4" with shoulder length black hair and just enough make-up and jewelry on to indicate a careful attention to her appearance. I couldn't believe my luck as she reached back through the open window to retrieve something from her purse. My heart rate increased immediately upon seeing her emerge with a leather cigarette case. I have to explain that I have a smoking fetish. Ever since I was old enough to like girls, I have been attracted to women who smoke. I'm not sure if that was because most of the neighborhood mothers smoked or some sort of oral fixation, but now it seemed hard-wired in me. She proceeded to unfasten the clasps and pulled out a long 120mm cigarette which she eagerly lit with a thin gold lighter from the front of the case. She immediately took three long drags holding the smoke in her mouth before letting it stream out above her head. It must have been a long car ride without her being able to smoke. Although I find myself painfully shy in new situations, I knew that I must speak to her or I would regret it forever.
After watching transfixed for a few more puffs, I summoned my courage and decided to approach her before her companions returned. Her beautiful green eyes made contact with mine upon hearing the car door close. I gave her my best friendly smile and made some inane comment about the nice weather and enjoying the sunlight. She agreed and made an apology for fouling the fresh air with her smoke. I laughed and replied, "It doesn't bother me at all. In fact I was just getting out to tell you that I think you have an elegant style and look very attractive smoking." I believe I actually saw her blush a little as she gave me an appreciative grin. "These days, that's not a very popular opinion as smokers are banished to the outside to enjoy a cigarette." That has been a godsend for smoking fetishists like me as I get treated to groups of smokers huddled outside their office buildings. I let her know that I found it alluring and that "I've always been enchanted by beautiful women who smoke." This time I knew I saw her blush as she flashed a full smile while doing a mock curtsy and declaring in a southern-belle imitation, "Why thank you, sir. I do feel mighty flattered."
