She didn’t notice me at first. I stood and watched her for a few minutes until she looked up and saw me staring. I didn’t look away, just held her gaze until her cheeks reddened and she dropped her head back into her book.
A few seconds later she glanced up, and looked surprised to see me still transfixed on her. Her eyes flicked back to her page, but her smile lingered, and I knew she wasn’t reading any more.
I switched off my blackberry, dropped it into my case and walked over to her, noting her eyebrows flicking upwards as she followed my progress surreptitiously. As I approached her table she sub-consciously flicked her handbag beneath her seat with her ankle.
“Is anybody sitting here?”, I asked with faux politeness, a momentary sweep of my eyes across the other empty tables emphasising my deliberate choice of seat.
“Erm, no”, she breathed quietly, still buried in her tome. She paused, and then hastily continued, after considering her words. “Be my guest”, she muttered, barely making a sound. For a second she looked up, eyes sparkling and her pearl-white teeth gleaming between her soft pink lips, and then she dropped back into her story.
I settled in the chair, busily arranging my case, pad and pen, and ordering coffee from the waiter who arrived shortly after I made myself comfortable. I started jotting figures and small diagrams on the page, the nib scratching across the page with little flourishes. She looked, with what she tried to pretend was idle curiosity, and then continued to read.
Then, as I sipped the dark bitterness from my mug, I began to write.
Blonde, short hair.
Pearl beads, multiple loops.
She glanced across at my scribbles, and breathed in, surprised. I continued.
Beige summer dress, red flowers.
Small waist.
Blue eyes.
Her mouth dropped open, and she slowly exhaled, quickly regaining composure. She ran the tip of her tongue across her mouth.
Warm rouge lips.
Freckles.
Slender fingers.
She stole another look, eyes slightly wider this time.
Soft, firm.
Now it was her turn to stare. I carried on scribbling, more slowly, deliberately.
32B, maybe C . . . ?
Pausing between each point, the tap-tap-tap of the metal against the paper, drawing her attention, the sliding curve of the question and the final punctuating stab hanging in the air. I put the pen down, laying the shaft toward her, inviting.
She looked again, unsure, breathing quickly, as I took another swig of hot coffee. Our eyes met for a second, and then she reached and picked up the pen. Her long fingers slipped around the shaft of the Waterman, and she slowly pressed the tip of the nip down, starting a new line.
32B.
The pen dropped from her hand like a hot iron, rolling towards me until I laid my fingers across it. I picked it up, smiling, and continued where she’d left off.
32B. And pert.
Nipples slightly erect.
She giggled softly and looked down at the hard bumps punctuating her breasts through the soft material of her dress. I carried on writing.
Small feet. Brown sandals.
Hem of skirts draped just above knee.
As I wrote, her hand lolled away, the book in it long forgotten. She was transfixed, unsure of what the blue ink would say next.
Long slim legs.
Knees parted slightly.
I put the pen down, and finished the last of my coffee, and she reached over and took it, rolling it in her palm and looking at her crossed legs. She struck through the last line and added to the one above it.
Long slim legs, crossed.
Knees parted slightly.
She put the pen down, and looked back studiously at her book. Without waiting, I crossed through her writing and rewrote both lines.
Long slim legs, crossed.
Knees parted slightly.
Long slim pretty legs.
Knees apart, hem draped mid-thigh.
She peered over her book, and the corner of her mouth turned up in a feint smile.
Putting the book down, she looked me straight in the eye and uncrossed her legs. Looking around furtively, she pretended to smooth her skirts, instead drawing them up her thigh to reveal her silky smooth skin. She reached forward for her novel, twisting slightly toward me, trailing one knee behind until she was facing me directly, knees apart. Her eyebrows raised for an instant, and then the book was up and obscuring her grin.
I sat back in my chair, rolling the pen between my thumb and forefinger. Shifting in my seat, I adjusted the thick erection inside my trousers and gazed down between her legs, savouring the perfect view of her neat white panties.
I started to write again, in larger letters, underlining them with a sweeping stroke.
Underwear
I heard her breath quicken again, and she watched the pen dance across the page.
White bra, lace trim.
Thin straps, left side slipped off shoulder.
She subconsciously reached inside her dress and lifted her strap back onto her shoulder.
White cotton knickers.
Not sheer.
Folded up and placed in purse.
I underlined the last line, just for emphasis.
At first, she furrowed her brow, glancing at her handbag and looking perplexed. She looked around the cafe, sure that we were being watched, but all she saw were others going about their business.
After a short pause she pushed her chair back noisily, grabbed her bag, and headed towards the gloomy rear of the cafe. I sipped the dregs of my coffee, and pushed the mug away.
When she returned, her hips swung with an extra swagger, the folds of her dress swaying around her legs. She sat down, slim legs leading towards me, and dropped her purse onto the floor by her seat.
As I looked her up and down, she took the pen and began to write, slowly and deliberately. I traced the words as they flowed from the nib:
White cotton knickers. Not sheer.
Folded up and placed in purse with bra.
As the last letters slipped onto the page, she slipped her hand over her thigh, trailing her skirt up her soft skin. At the same time she let her knees fall apart, until my eyes were drawn between her slender parted legs, to the soft narrow fuzz of her hair, glinting with a few tiny droplets of moisture.
She paused, as I stared, transfixed again, and she smiled, eyes glittering. She began to write again.
Pussy. Trimmed, soft, hair. Soft pink full lips. Wet. Sweet.
I could feel my cock pulsing with every heartbeat.
She started to write one final line.
Hotel across the square. Room 76.
And with that, she reached down to her handbag, stood up put on her cardigan. Pausing only to pick up the pen lid, she began to stroll slowly and elegantly across the road.
I glanced at the paper in front of me, the words making my heart race, as I began to pack my things away, before setting off after her.
