Inappropriate Attire

It is the evening I have waited for, stiletto heels three inches high adorned my feet, real nylons hung from garters beneath a skin tight, leather skirt of maraschino cherry-red. A blouse of white silk, with a cascade of ruffles, played peek-a-boo with my décolletage. Outdoors, the rain pounded the asphalt making the reality of his arrival even more bizarre. A Harley barrels into the driveway. Apparently, he thinks he is Marlon Brando and I am Stella? I stand on the porch, a black umbrella covering my new do, and watch as he saunters through the puddles on the concrete walk. The color of the umbrella my only non-incongruent element in the frame, the scene made. His smile was like a box of Chiclet's on his clean shaven face. He kisses me. I lick the raindrop from the tip of his Roman nose and take hold of his Russian fingers. He tosses my umbrella on the porch, throws his black leather jacket over my shoulders, lifts me off my feet, and carries me to the bike. The sun breaks through the clouds and the rain stops, just in time for the neighbors to glare at the sight of my legs reflecting on the bikes chrome work. Shake their respective heads and donate a few wolf whistles.
