Naive Gentleman

I am quite the courteous gentleman Not the kind who sends naughty lines; Still, this pretty girl was winking, was I naïve? Being a new guy in the neighborhood, I waved; trying to be polite like Mom said I should. It began with her offer, coffee in the main room Ending with touches and flirting… the rise Of my blood a seismic boom! Clothes ruffled As my hands traveled along her skin, Before I knew it, we were reeling on the floor. I didn’t know her status; she didn’t wear a ring But she seemed playful and thrilled to hear My breath quaking. Then, the front door clicked; A man swooned, “Honey, I’m home.”I froze while posing behind a tall figurine. Rushing out that night, the oldest couple from a distance pressed, “Hey Miss, your black stockings are on your neck!” Nina Parmenter's Make Me Actually LOL 2 Re-post 3/.04.2019

Sometimes naughty situations backfire. I loved the comic scene especially the eldest couple part. Imagining Mr. Bean as the male character, lol! This is funny and smart.
