Emil sat in the booth sipping his coffee and watching the man and woman across the street as he waited for his order of scrambled eggs and bacon. It was Tuesday and he surprised his waiter, Mike, by ordering the scrambled eggs and bacon, normally he had a waffle on Tuesdays. He just happened to suddenly take a liking to scrambled eggs as he looked at the picture in the menu and decided to do something different that morning.
It was only after he made the decision when he first noticed what was happening on the sidewalk across the street. Just before opening the menu he saw a strangely dressed woman walking nervously up the street. He really had no way of knowing if the woman was nervous or not, but the way she walked, well, she just seemed distracted or perhaps frightened with all that starting and stopping and looking around.
It wasn't until after he decided upon scrambled eggs and bacon that he saw the man approach her and say something. The woman had stopped and then turned away as the man spoke to her. Emil thought perhaps she was going to run but the man grabbed her by the arm and spun her back around. A sight like that would not have been anything more than just a idle curiosity for any by passers except for what the woman was wearing.
"Scrambled eggs and bacon, and to think I was about to turn your order without asking, I mean I can't remember the last time you had anything different than the waffle on Tuesday," Mike said, setting the plate on the table.
Emil looked down at the plate and then reached for the Tabasco sauce, sprinkling the spicy liquid onto the eggs, hungrily watching the red spots slowly spread out over the fluffy yellow of the eggs. As he replaced the Tabasco to the table he listened closely to the faint hiss from the bacon. "Ah, still sizzling."
"How long has that been going on?" Mike asked nodding towards the action across the street.
"Just a few minutes. I didn't think it would go this far, but I don't know, she seemed to be asking for it."
"How so?"
"Well just look at the way she is dressed, I mean covered like that from head to toe. A man can't help but have his curiosity aroused. I mean all the other women wear short skirts or shorts, sleeveless shirts and usually go braless. It lets us satisfy our curiosity. This one didn't, she just went on flaunting it, hidden beneath all those clothes."
"And the man?"
"What can you say, he said something to her and she turned away," Emil said, cutting his bacon with his fork.
"She just turned away?"
"Yeah, then he grabbed her arm and well, when he turned her around, the long dress twirled in the air and I saw her ankle."
"Did he see it?"
"You know he had to, I mean otherwise why would he have pulled up her dress like that?" Emile asked, nodding at the two in the street. "I could even see her thigh from here and after she had it so well hidden even I found my curiosity aroused. Can you blame him for pulling off the panties?"
"They weren't see-through?"
"No, just plain white, you couldn't see a thing."
