I was waiting for Geoff when the woman sauntered towards me. Red lips, red shoes, a seductive curve from one to the other. By the time Geoff came out of the store I’d turned her way.
“Buy me a mint julep,” she said. I only noticed her lips, the way she pouted. The words could have been anything.
I don’t usually drink shorts, but sipping her lips the bourbon seduced me. Next thing she wanted diamonds. I was in no position to deny her.
Geoff called next morning. He knew the score.
“Trust me,” he said. “Stick to beer next time.”
A short micro story with a point. Nice ending.
Thank you Lisa!
