A New Blond Waitress

She’s too pretty, this one,
long things nicely long,
round things nicely round,
won’t be a waitress forever
and hasn’t been one before.

She makes up for it with dimples
and blond hair, a chin that
shyly touches her shoulder
as she takes our order,
swings over to the kitchen,
sweet from this side too.

Before the order’s up, she’s
passed a dozen times, knows
I’m looking, shows it with a turned-in
smile, lips tucked, liking it even though
I’m old enough to be...me.
My wife hasn’t noticed, but she has.

By the time she brings our food
she’s smiling before I look, playing
tag and winning, jeans tight,
riding a shave low under the white
halter, skin between just wider
than my hand. Now there’s a thought.

She’s moving all the time,
bringing things, refilling my glass,
then the check, a laugh in her voice
that hasn’t faded with use....
One last swing by with change.
And what will be my tip?    

Enough.

You only think the wife didn't see...



We let you see...

Enjoyed the view...

Ed...I have to agree with Sunshine...the wife sees these things, you just don't see that she sees.  Sounds like you had fun.

Oh yes, Mr. Ed....the wife sees, but so does the waitress. She knows how to get her tips. LOL

A good write. I could see you looking and the waitress flirting. LOL

Hugs,
Ethel

So subtle, but I wouldn't bet that you or she is fooling anyone. She's just doing her job, and since the customer always comes first.  Uh huh, uh huh.     

Fun write~

Naw, she was completely a rookie... you could see it in the way she handled things.

....but causing every man in the place to get a whiplash, and shyly loving every minute of it.

Now here's a thought...  

I know the feeling of public flirting... it can be bothersome, especially when your significant other is right with you.  It's still kind of fun, even if it's a little risky... and it doesn't make you naughty, just daring.  

Nicely written, Ratleader... I enjoyed reading this.

Wanna bet? LOL Ratette's just wise enough to know the difference between looking at the menu and placing an order. LOL

I love this snapshot of life you've captured and shared... excellent write! *S*

Rat...it's time to go back there again...tell her you want a "Sheepherder's Dinner"....she'll ask what that is...tell her "It's a little bit of ewe"......then, leave her a good tip if she doesn't slap you.....leave her a great tip if she agrees.
Very interesting way with words pal....liked this one...
