Strangers From Across the Room

Strangers from across the room in a crowded reception hall, somehow catch each other's eyes and in rapture they both fall. Coquettish smile meets sinister grin, all other guests becoming a blur; mystery blends with a touch of intrigue foreshadowing what might next occur. Social distractions interfere and their gaze gets lost in the crowd; they wander and mingle, pretending to care but their thoughts are high on a cloud. Fate plays her kismet card and they finally meet face to face; neither one of them utters a word as they duck into a private place. Buttons unbutton; zippers unzip; moaning they try to suppress - eager to give everything that they have, carnal knowledge is a success. Totally exhausted, with smiles on their face, they slowly reassemble their attire; one last kiss, with nary a word, back to the proceedings they retire. Strangers from across the room, once again their eyes do meet; he winks at her; she smiles at him, and he steps out onto the street.
