The Grass is Greener Part 2
She pumps one bullet into his twitching body for every bird that has opened her legs to him, reloading after each series of empty clicks.
In her mind.
She napkin-dabs her lips and pushes away from the table. She knows he thinks she’s heading to the ladies’ to pop a few Xanax and arrange her face into the stoic mask she wears in public.
Instead she walks outside and hails a cab.
“Take me to Pasha Place.”
The doorman knows her and buzzes her through.
Ralph opens his penthouse door and pulls her in with kisses.
“It’s time,” she says.

I think it is definitely time she loses the loser and hooks up with Penthouse man… or, loses the loses, enjoys Penthouse Man when her fancy tickles it!
Delicious part 2!

Or load for real this time? Not sure if there will be a part 3. I may leave it to everyone’s imagination.

‘Pasha Place’ – that’s funny. I like how you linked this with part one. Opening with a twist! And ‘it’s time’ .. Very mysterious.

I liked how you used the prompt in this, Lisa. I had to go back and read part one for this one to make sense and after I did it made great sense. I’m guessing there’ll be a #3?

Dear Lisa,
Tell me more, tell me more, tell me more. (Singing it in my mind). Glad she has someone else to go to. But now you leave me wanting to know exactly what it’s time for. ;) Nicely done.
Shalom,
Rochelle

Great use of the prompt. Those visual imaging are so clear. I understand her ange. Then again, it seems she’s not being totally honest either. Nicely done with the ambiguity. Great descriptions.

This reminds me of Stevie Wonder’s “Part-Time Lover,” where he spends most of the song singing about his affair only to find this his girlfriend or wife is also stepping out.
