Red Light 

It started off as a silly gesture. We locked eye contact at a red light and that was all she wrote. A head nod, a wink and a smile was so simple. I didn’t want to bring to much attention to myself. I was trying to be a gentleman and not knowing her situation or status I didn’t want to come off strong. It’s so easy to be considered thirsty nowadays, I just wanted to have a little fun in the sun. 

Turned my music up and went on about my business. I could still see her in the back of my mind but I was thinking shit I’ve never seen her before and probably well never see her again. Hit a couple blocks then stopped at the gas station to grab some h2o and gum. Walking out of the gas station I noticed that car again parked on side of me and instantly felt stupid. (Thinking to myself like [smack lips] you should have kept that corny shit to yourself now she about to blaze you, man I hope this not her). 

She was standing outside of her car like she was waiting on something. To save face I tried to avoid another dose of eye contact so I tried to walk fast to the car but I had to get a look at her body just one time up close, you know a mental picture for the ride. I peeked over for just a second and the photographic memory took over. About 5’3 flats, stockings, long skirt, thick waist, no rings, bracelets, tucked in business blouse top, D cup breast, diamond necklace, light honey brown skin tone, pink lips, studded diamond earrings, natural hair short cut. It took me less than a second to get a bottom to top look in one glance and then it happen again… Eye contact but this time the roles reversed. you see this time she was prepared for me. A head nod, a wink and a little giggle then she got back in the car. At this point I’ve made it to my car and I’m thinking to myself. (If I don’t go over there then I suck and if I do go over there and shes not interested then she crazy.) I smile and walk over to her car trying to think of the best pick up line. “Hello Miss” “how are you doing?” “My name is Dez” she smiled then replied “Hello my name is M” without any good pick up lines I just laid all out there. “Miss M I just wanted to let you know that you look beautiful. I didn’t mean any harm at the red light either but I didn’t think I would see you again.” “It was a pleasure to be in your presence Miss M.” Walking away from her vehicle she spoke “excuse me Dez the pleasure was all mines” she smiled then winked again started up her car then drove off.  Man I was stupid for not asking for her number and it would be down right creepy to chase her car at this point. I hopped in my car and noticed a blank index card on my passenger seat.
