Grande Smiles....

I don't flirt.

Swear.

Don't know how....anymore.

Don't have to.

No reason.

Whatever.

So yesterday I put on a ratty pair of old sweat pants and a blue sport shirt. Went walking in ATC just feeling glum' dee' dm' dum'. Stopped at a Chanel ad....stared...nice gorgeous lady....looking..perfumed...

Could feel my eyebags dangling coz' I was sleepy at 8 am..while walking...undecided on whether to have breakfast at Dulcineas or Seattle's Best.....or..Figaro.....wasn't in the mood for coffee so I sat down in an inconspicous corner...did my hair and applied makeup..just so I wouldn't look like a walking undead...

After late lunch with my Romeo ....we went to have my shots....( dog bite) at the center.... then he left me for a while to get something from his nearby office...

I wait..wait..I can wait..wait...

So he comes along and I get in the car....then he pulls up at S Bucks and tells me to grab a Cappuccino...So okey I go....Got out of the car..went in..faced the counter...this guy has his head down....

He looks up....

I look down to fish for money...

Can I get you anything ma'am?...

I look up...

He smiles...small smile...

I smile...

He smiles..wider smile..nice dazzling smile..

I smile....wider smile...

He stares...

Cappuccino...I say..

He doesn't speak....

Cappuccino...???..I repeat..

He says oh' yes...smiles..shy smile...looks down still smiling..he gets a cup and a pen...

I giggle inside of me...

your name ma'am?..

I need grande?..I say...eyeing the regular cup

Oh'..yes...sorry...looks at me smiling...very charming smile...

I smile...

I think to myself..what's the matter with this kid?...( about 26..27..28 max)...

Can I get your name?...he asks...looks into my eyes...

Rrrr..I give my name...

He stares at me...repeats it...smiles...

That's when it hit me....He's flrting with me...

I giggle inside and say...

That will be a cappuccino grande....wet...

He smiles....repeats what I said....holds a glance....then takes my money still looking at me...

and I get the change..I smile at him...and give back a look...

I sit fronting the counter..He makes my drink..looks at me..then looks down..looks at me..then looks down smiling....

He has long lashes...nice..very charming smile....very red lips....

He calls....my name....Cappuccino for Rrrr....

I get off my chair....but somebody beats me there....

Me' Romeo heads straight for the counter and takes it from him......

And Romeo drapes an arm over me...and says something...and we talk and move on....

We buy something from this store...and he looks down at his coffee and says..I need sugar...please get me some hon.....

So I head back to S B with the cup...went straight to the counter and asks this lady for a certain kind ov' sugar...

He looks up at me then quickly...reaches under....

Hands me sugar....smiles...

Here R..have a nice day...looks at me' eyes......

and I say..you too...


and I walk out smilin'....

So I'm thinkin'....I don't need any other man's attention....but when somebody.....I don't know surprisingly hands out a genuine smile of appreciation I'll take it....It makes me feel... not really special..that's not the word..but it makes me feel....more of a lady.....makes me feel young....and carefree once again....like a pat of confidence....

I'll be around the vicinity tomorrow....maybe I'll get another smile...

( wink..wink...)....

kidding...

Lady Flare, I would suggest you enjoy the flirtations. After all, life is short. Besides, flirtations can help ease the pain of shots to cure bushy dog bites.

(Psst...I didn't know you had this site too. I've been nosing about some of your archives. Had I known, I'd have visited more often....and perhaps I would have flirted once and a while:-)

Just kidding.

LOL-
Love it :) So glad you did this Lady Flare~
A flirt adds sugar to ones life- it's good to give, and recieve! :)
X and I (I'm sure!) won't tell your secret...won't give it away-

Romeo loves you, but so do we! :)

I'm not surprised that this youngster would have the eye for you... I would.

Lady Flare said...

X:DELL:

Thy honorable Dell..your flirtations are most welcome...considering that all sorts of women from all over the globe seem to be magnetized towards your charms..it izz' my pleasure...wait..let me put on some cologne...!

Mayden: Actually....now that I think about it..what if I had dirt in my eyes and he was lookin' at that..hee!hee!

Mr. Althouse:

I love that story! I think its so easy to just be somebodys wife and mother after doing it for so long!
It is times like these where you connect for no apparent reason with someone that reminds us of the 'ME' still left in there. I think that the flirting comes less often as you get older (welp it does for me) so thats another factor... when it comes.. weather from a 26 year old hottie selling coffee or from an oloder construction worker... its all good! It revives your pride and puts a pep in your step.

I had a good bit of flirting yesterday at the race... It was all innocent, but it was a delight that someone would just like me for no apparent reason! Gosh its just nice to have attention!

I say you become a regular at that coffee house! *wink naw... it would spoil the moment. Did you ever hear that song Your Beautiful? Its what came to mind with this post!

(oh and a flirting Dell... I may just have to come back to read that!)


James Blunt - You're Beautiful



My life is brilliant
My love is
pure.
I saw an angel.
Of that I'm sure.
Shesmiled at me on the subway.She was with another man.
But I won't lose no sleep on that,
'Cause
I've got a plan.
You're beautiful.
You're beautiful.
You're beautiful,
it's
true.
I saw your face in a crowded place,
And I
don't know what to do,
'Cause I'll never be
with you.


Yes, she caught my eye,
As we walked
on by.
She could see from my face that I was,
Fucking
high,
And I don't think that I'll see her
again,
But we shared a moment that will last 'till the
end.
You're beautiful. You're beautiful......
