THE RED DRESS

She had just come from dance lessons.
A quick shower, then she got ready
to meet up with Jack.

The red dress
It was shaped like her body
Jo called it
"Coca Cola"
She asked him:
"Jo, what do you mean?"
"A Coca Cola bottle
is like woman shape, its mean
makes a woman a queen...yes indeed,
didn't you know that?"

She laughed...men were so funny.


She took the red dress out of her wardrobe
looked at it carefully. It was embroidered
on the front with tiny coloured brown
and black beads, at certain points the lines
of pearls intertwined. The pearls where not in
an even pattern, but the pearls met evenly
at the waist like the waist shape
of a coca cola bottle.
Looking at it now made her think of Jo.
The thought put a smile on her face.

She was dressing to meet up with Jack
"Wear something sexy", he had whispered
into the phone, when they had made the date...

She checked herself in the mirror
holding the dress to her
thinking of weather she would wear this,
or the blue-black dress that had a filigran tulle
draped over the main cloth which was soft silk
in its waistline 5 rows of silver pearls
like a fragile belt.
Very sexy too she thought,
but then she decided for the red dress.
Red makes the heart beat faster...
She put back the blue-black dress.

Just a little make-up, searching for a lipstick
matching the colour of the dress.
She put on just a dash of it so her lips
looked fresh like wanting to be kissed, and not
dumped under layers of lipstick.
She really hated that!
There was nothing like looking natural.
She checked her face again,
and put on just a hint of blush
giving her a rosy kind of fresh radiance.
That was that, less is more she thought.

She took her sexiest string, slipped into it,
took of her Kimono, and put the red dress on.
She didn't need a bra. Infact she didn't like them
one bit. She was glad that her breast where not to big
and nice and firm, how lucky!

She got her perfume, 'LOLA'
A combination of vanilla
and warm tonka bean
an electrifying floral,
smooth warmth—epitomizing free spirit,
a sexy fragrance.
Spraying a bit on her,
she inhaled the fragrance,
savouring in the scent of it.
Indeed it was tranquilizing.

She took her keyes and lipstick,
put them in her purse, making sure
she had the present she got for Jack...

It was an Eau de Toilette called 'BANG'
A fragrance of peppercorns
and masculine woodsy notes combined,
creating a sophisticated, daring, scent.
She hoped he would like it...
after all it was a bit daring
...'Bang'...would he think she was indicating something...?
Hmmm, she thought and smiled.
Stilettos! She put them on and went out the door.

The red dress was short. She didn't mind
showing of those lovely long legs anyway.
She loved feeling free like this.
She thought about his kiss and his warm hand
touching her thigh. Deliciously addicting.

She send a text...

Will be 10 minutes late Jack x
