I met a kindred spirit today. I was perched on a wall outside the union when I saw a cute brunette round the corner. She had on glasses and a knit sweater the color of merlot. She smiled and said something to me and I pulled down my headphones.
"Two pieces of chocolate for a cigarette," she said. I could tell I was dealing with a professional.
"Don't worry about the chocolate," said I, chivalrous as always. She was delighted I smoked Camels and plopped the two miniature candy bars down next to me.
"Thank you," she said.
"Very welcome, and thank you," I said.
As she walked off she called out "Happy Halloween!"
"You too!" I called back. I slid my headphones back on as "Brown Eyed Girl" started playing. I looked down at my pre-halloween treats, and saw that I had a Hershey's milk chocolate, and the piece de resistance, a special dark chocolate. I looked up and watched her round the corner of the medical sciences building.
Shine on, beautiful woman, you've made my day.
Bonus for Special Dark!!!
ReplyDeleteYou didn't chase her down?
