The Pink Dress

Dress

The first rays of sunlight lit up my room as I tore myself out from the bedsheets. It was such a warm day , the day that the hideous sick feeling floated away from me and my eyes glinted with happiness as I glammed the door shut going into the bathroom where I went through the hygiene process . "Thank God today I won't be having long standing hours in front of a class feeding information in those tiny heads", I said to my self.

Later on, went outside for some sunshine.I sat on a pile of bricks , my eyes fixed on the pages of a magazine. I had invested my concentration on the magazine but I don't know how , in a short space of time , I took a glance in the street.I saw a fine lady walking in the street, that very moment I felt something I didn't think I was capable of. I found my self unable to stop looking at her probably it was because of her angelic beauty. She looked gorgeous in her mid thigh , pink dress which fitted perfectly on her voluptuous body. I had to gather up some courage before she disappears , I blew a whistle and she acted deaf . I deserved that. "Dude she is going " , a voice said in my head .I swiftly ran to her and lowered my pace beside her . "Hie", I said.

She stared at me .Her gaze was hot enough to scorch men with less iron on their souls. "Is she deaf.", I thought. Whilst debating on whether to continue or not , she then answered , " Hey , how are you ?"

"I am well , and you ?"

"Fine"

" I'm Roland."

" Vera.", she said giving her slender hand for a handshake.

" Nice name , you Mexican?"

"No."

I had run short of words ....."So ....so where are you going ?"

" Home."

" Do you mind me taking you there?"

"You are only a stranger."

" Yes, and I wish to know you better."

" You said you want to take me home?"

" Ooh , yes....can you wait here for a few minutes."

"Yea."

I ran back home to take my car ..... stopped the car in front of her and got out to open the door for her

"Your chariot awaits."

She got in.....the two went. " So , tell me about yourself."

"Umm what exactly ?"

"Job." , I said with a shrug.

"I am a teacher at Entrix High."

I waited if there was anything to come after that but there was only silence.She was making it hard for me. "Does it have to seem like an interrogation?" There was a longtime silence , then she said ," You got me." And continued , "No but I'm just not in the mood to talk.".

"Ooh. Which way now?" I asked facing at the junction ahead of us.

"You are the driver.", she said pulling her hair into a high , loose bun with shorter pieces of hair falling around her face , masking her aquamarine eyes . It meant something.That I was in charge , quickly I made a U turn going to a small famous cafe we had left before.

"Where I you taking me to?"

"I'm the driver."

"I'm not going to your house."

"Me too."

" I could read her mind , she had too fallen in love but for some reason she had not to show that.

We arrived , parked the car outside and went in , sat on a pair of empty chairs and waited for the waitress.

"So ..."I broke the ice, "Vera , I want to tell you something ."

" You wanted to know me better."

"Yes of course?"

" My name is Billie , I teach P.E at Entrix High , not really comfortable with the wages so I'm searching for something better , single ." she said with a giggle revealing her well shaped dimples , ooh my gosh she made me believe in the possibility of perfection. The waitress disturbed showing us the menu card , she chose to have the conversation over some cookies and a cupful of coke and I on water She said a lot about herself and it was my turn . I did the same and it went well . I was quite satisfied with the progress .

" So you said you wanted to tell me something."

"Yes , I will tell you in the way."

We got out of the cafe and slowly vanished.

I cleared my throat. I had to speak , but now all the guts probably we t away along with the water . My stomach felt as if it was full of freezing cold stones. I was nervous , like never before . Is it supposed to be this hard , I wondered . ' I am man .", I said to myself smugly. "Okay...aah the thing is that moment." , She disturbed , you can wait here ...I don't feel like going home now."

Damn shit does she even know what I'm going through, I said to myself and made sure not to change the expression on my face."Fine .", I stopped the car ." I was saying , that moment when I first saw you I felt an unusual strong feeling. That moment I sat my eyes on you , I couldn't sat them off , I'm sure it wasn't just physical attraction , it was ... intellectual . I do now believe in love at first sight , Billie I'm in love with you." I looked down , felt relieved, I could dare to meet her gaze.

" Okay.", She said .

How can she say okay , I wasn't expecting an okay after all I have said , at once I raised up my face to look at her and see how serious she was with her reply only to see her lips , curved perpetually in a smile....that only made me feel me again....it was a yes I couldn't expect more from that smile , it was like an enchantment . We came closer , her lips brushed mine , softly , delicately , just long enough that I could inhale her breath , and feel the warmth of her skin whilst kissing I heard the headmaster's haunting voice shouting , "Sir Xarkondr , busy day dreaming? Come to my office immediately!"
