The Whole Fairy Tale

CHANCE ENCOUNTER She sizzled softly through the crowd white grin exuding cheer. Between the lines it read: please don't see what's not here. He caught her eye and flashed a grin carefully monitoring suave and charm. Between the lines it read: tenderhearted, please don’t harm. She glided softly through her mind thoughts of him and more. Could he? Would he? Her heart unwind? Wondering...was this...amor? He whistled softly to himself as he headed out the door sated by white grin cheer, thinking, "When it's time she'll show me more." THREE DAYS LATER… The number in his pocket burned warm against his leg. Dare he chance or would she see him as a scallywag? She glanced at unknown number. Engaged, she’d let it ring but then a tiny heart leap tickled, "Think it might be him?" Suddenly he dropped the phone cursing his jangling nerves. Took tons to dial once, now again? He redialed remembering those curves. Abruptly it stopped ringing. Was it really him? And why was she so flustered? Oh! She smiled, thinking of that grin. FIRST STEPS He'd been around the town before knew how to play the game but something in her hello said this time won't be the same She was no stranger to the game but with it she was bored. "We'll make it different this time," she thought "than it's ever been before." "What's up?" he posed to her hello which vaguely startled something he'd never been aware of? Oh, she's talking! His reverie faded way. "Nothing much," she said, wrapping words in decoy as though she had her arms around his neck fingers sifting through curls while their eyes danced...OH, she's TALKING!... FIRST KISS Whoa, slow down boy you're goin' where them angels fear to tread. Get outa my dress and focus I wanna know about your head She asked some questions following. a few that he'd never heard. He answered them with some chagrin then pondered... Oh my WORD! She blushed to his response when questioned "What music do you like?" I Iike the kind that sucks the marrow from my bones the kind that leaps carelessly through raging flames I like the kind that awakens the sleeping sun, the kind that drives desire raging frenzy crazy, the kind that makes two people dance down danger until sweat crash exhausted and reeking of love well spent. “Oh, cool,” she said. AND THEY LIVED HAPPILY EVER AFTER THE END ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Collaboration with John Wulf
