Writing Challenge - The Devil... in Disguise?

Her entry was something of an event. She didn’t turn heads… she jerked them about. Even the women in the place stared… transfixed by the sheer beauty. Her features seemed freshly Michelangelo’ed out of a better than perfect block of Carrara marble. Her jet black hair offset her pale, seemingly translucent skin, radiating an inner essence of stunning womanhood. My eyes moved slowly, following the generous contours. There she stood… legs slightly apart, beautiful head held at a jaunty angle, squinting slightly, obviously looking for someone.

She can join my table any day, I thought. I was alone, as always, waiting for my plate of pasta. The slightly soiled red and white chequered tablecloth barely covered the bits of plank that served as the tabletop. The décor mattered little, the food in the dive was excellent, the suitably priced fare fitted my meager pocket.

I nodded in her direction. I’d never seen her in here before. My gaze moved slowly up and down. This lass was dressed for the summer, no, more likely… dressed for the kill. The skimpy, frayed denim hot-pants only served to accentuate the beautiful legs. The bit of cloth wrapped loosely around her chest barely covered her smallish, yet perfectly shaped, boobs. Some beauty queen, she was.

She took a small step in my direction before spotting who she’d been on the lookout for. I caught sight of the fellow at the exact moment she flashed us a broad smile. A broad, toothless smile. The half brick dropped in a flash, hitting me squarely between the eyes! If I expected favours from this lass I was going to have to break the bank… of that the pimp’s expression testified abundantly!

Sometimes the WP writing challenges seem such a drag… at other times they just catch the eye and the imagination takes over… resulting in scribbles like the passage above. Krista asks us to use our powers of observation… and expression. So, I chose the first of the 3 scenarios she suggests, namely; A woman walks into a restaurant. Imagine this scene and capture every detail you can in a few paragraphs. I had fun! Sorry… I needed 4 paragraphs… too much fun for a few…

PS – I was hunting for a suitable pic to rob off the internet… believe it or not, I’d already written the post, so… no… the inspiration and words came first!! So… to be fair, here’s the link. Thanks Don Martinelli for reading my mind and supplying the picture…
