The Hereafter

[Edward Dean]

 

 

She walked into the upscale elegant hotel bar like she owned the place and my second Martini made me believe she might but I knew better than to trust my lying eyes as she opened her full length mink coat by simply sweeping her right hand through the elegant fur and delicately resting it on a deliciously full hip.

It was a well executed pose right out of Hollywood with her left hand resting on the marble pillar that graced the entrance to the bar and the hooker-type announcement got my attention but as I studied the faint wrinkles in her well manicured face, I knew for certain she wasn’t a working girl but probably a over kept bored housewife with an agenda; I smiled through the charade as her deep blue twinkling eyes surveyed the bar

      She nonchalantly glided toward a stool next to mine, the large diamonds that graced her fingers and ears confirmed my suspicion that was earned by a traveling life that had put me in too many bars with a plethora of stars just like her.

What the hell I thought, two can play this game and I pulled the stool open with a greeting, while the soft murmurings from her well lubricated ruby lips thanked me as she tried to stare me down; blue eye to brown but it wasn’t working and she knew it.

Her polished finger beckoned me toward her and I offered an ear next to her lips and listened to her words, “Do you believe in the hereafter?”

 My smiling face scrunched with confusion that delighted her as my mind danced to her erotic hot breath and tongue in my ear as she continued, “Well if you’re not here after what I’m here after, then you’re going to be here after I’m gone!”

@robert...how about that! it worked!

[Toby Tucker Hecht]

This is someone's fantasy, no?  I had to stop in my tracks and laugh out loud when I read "well manicured face."  I am trying to picture that.

[Travis Smith]

I really like the descriptions in this - it really sets up the encounter between the two, with what they both know and how it plays through

[Angela]

Good punch.  Like the description of the lady, too.  Fur and diamonds...how can that be wrong?

[Gita]

Ha! I heard that one but with a slightly different punch line: If you're not here after what I'm here after, would you mind moving along?
@Robert: gotta love a guy who can improvise.

[Robert Crisman]

What a hereafter! Great pickup line too. A friend of mine topped it though: he saw this fine girl outside this steakhouse one time, and she's checking her watch with an impatient look, and he goes running up to her and says, "Sorry I'm late," like he's just about out of breath. And then they went and had a drink at this little place he knew up the street.

[Teresa]

 Well done.

[Jeanette Cheezum]

HAHA You devil you.

[FlowerChild]

Amazing! I love the portrait of the "over kept bored housewife" :)

[Mike Handley]

Way cool, Ed. I love pickup lines!
