Flash Fiction Friday 9-30-11: Teinturerie de Luxe


(Image this week provided by Lexi, original source unknown...)




I was admiring the silk Dior blouse on the woman beside me when she dropped to the ground like the rest of us. I reached back to steady myself on the motorcycle, but instead got a handful of the owner's leg. He moved my hand higher and rested me back against him until I was seated on his lap. The arm of his fine suit, electric on my skin, I ignored his ring and allowed his hands to wander.

To my right, others were overcome just as we were. There was a glaze in our eyes and our wills lost to our senses. There was nothing lude in our desire, tugged from somewhere beyond the dry cleaning, the word 'luxury' capturing us all, everyone in the street gave in. Everyone except for the owner of 'Teinturerie de Luxe'.

It was him. He caused this somehow. He worked some magic that made my beautiful Dior lady place the foot of her velvety boot on the motorcycle exhaust, opening her legs for the enjoyment of myself and the man behind me,giving us both a great view between the skirts of of the Dior woman.

I wanted to join her on the ground with this man behind me, just as the couple in the middle of the road had abandoned all cares and given in. I wanted to have this man trap me against this motorcycle as the man who dropped his pants had pinned that gorgeous pair of legs against the '69' car.

How did he manage this power over us? One thing was for sure; he would have a lot of business once we were all spent.

Now that's a good hypnotist. Or magician. Or something. Does he do parties? ;)

Now that is a marketing campaign I can support! Lets just not do it at Wal-mart after midnight. That could be trouble.

They do say that the best shops have the finest marketing. Obviously that shop has what it takes. Lovely job!

OMG! How very observant you are! I hadn't noticed the Dry Cleaners -- 'Teinturerie de Luxe' and the man peering out the door nor the ring on the man's hand, etc... I love how you wove all the details into the story. Yup, that dry cleaner is going to have a lot of business after everyone is "spent". ;-) Great job!

Very creative take. I also missed some of those details. :-)

Happy (belated) FFF!

Thank you all for your supportive comments! I really enjoy this picture. I think I will enjoy pulling it up on my phone and just gazing at it from time to time.
