I first saw Connie on a warm and bright Autumn morning as I walked through Soho, from Greek Street to Cambridge Circus. She was standing in front of Ed's Diner on Old Compton Street and was a delight to behold. She was about 5' 7" and had a slender build, and a pretty face with full lips, lovely dark eyes and a straight, shoulder length, haircut.
Connie was dressed simply in a patterned red knitted top with a scallop neck (showing off her lovely collar bone and shoulder tops and the gentle curve of her small but sexy bust), a short black skirt and Dr Martens. Her legs were bare and smooth and slender, inviting my gaze to follow them to the hem of her skirt and my mind to imagine what treasure lay but a few inches further.
Slowing my pace I offered a smile but she seemed to look right past me. I walked on but couldn't help looking back at her and the lovely curve of her rear. The beautiful young woman seemed to be waiting for someone and I could see that her lower lip was caught between her teeth -- was she trying to suppress a sob?
Taking the risk that my intentions might be misunderstood I stepped over to the woman and asked if she was okay. "No .. I'm fine" she muttered. She was clearly upset though and quickly added, "I've been waiting for someone but think he's just not coming. He was meant to be here over half an hour ago, he's not answering his phone and I don't know what to do. Why couldn't he just say that he wasn't going to come?"
I tried to reassure her. "Don't be upset, there's any number of reasons he could just be late. I'm sure no one in their right mind would leave someone as pretty as you hanging around waiting unless there was a really good reason." I immediately wished that I hadn't been so forward but this was one of the most gorgeous women I'd ever seen and I guess I did have ulterior motives after all. Fortunately for me the young woman smiled, so I pressed on.
Pointing to some tables outside a restaurant along the road, I said "Look, I'm on a break and could do with the company, so why don't we have a sit down over there and have a coffee or something. If you're hungry we could have some lunch. You can keep an eye out for your date from there and rest your feet at the same time." I quickly put out my hand and said, "I'm Joe. Your name is ...?"
