In my vain attempt to win over my interest I sang in as cultured a voice as I imagined myself to possess, being a country song there's little to muck up so I found the reception for my performance warm and exceptionally encouraging from Paula and her two friends.
So warm was Paula's reaction that she had already draped on her beige coat on, i leered at her willing her to keep her bargain. She did not hesitate to whisper to me how heart felt my number was and she intended to go for that walk, as soon as I wished.
I gulped down my drink and made for the exit with my lady in tow, the karma sutra inspired fantasies were running unchecked and were interrupted or shall we say fanned when she pushed up on me and planted a kiss on my lips right on the street.
Her lips tasted of cherry and at the time I thought that must be what heaven tasted like, I wrapped my hand around her waist and made out with her. This time gently teasing her edible lips and relishing her deep breathes.
She suddenly pulled back and my moment was cut short and I was left wondering if it was the liquor or perhaps the smokes, but no!
She was simply being dramatic as she moaned that she wanted me so badly, I admit I've never been an empathetic man but right then I shared the urgency.
As if on cue a silver fielder with its engine running was parked on the curb, with a naughty tug at me she said she lived in Ngara.
All my stars seemed to align for me and I opened the door for her and slunk in after her, inside the roomy back we kissed once more as the car left for an address she provided.
As we sat in the car barely able to control ourselves, she yanked the Dunhills from her purse and handed me one.
She pulled another from the packet and lit it with one smooth flick of her wrist, she then mysteriously brought the flame close to my face.
I put my cancer stick between my lips and lit up, the tobacco tasted comely but I always preffered the minty overtones.
I looked into her flush face and then deep in her eyes and I could see a cocktail of reactions .. joy, calm, victory and.... Regret?
I never had time to figure it out since I popped the filter to add the cold touch, on my second drag I felt suddenly faint and I slumped forward and lost all consciousness.... I came to in and out and.. I could have sworn we were headed back to the city... When I came to briefly I saw we had been joined by Paula's friends then I floated away for good this time.
I woke up feeling as cold as ice, wait.. Was I in a.. Was in a bloody tub brimful of ice. I felt fear cut deep in me as I wriggled in the ice cube laden tub completely naked.
Next to the tub was a printed note and a phone, I reached for the note and the contents brought a shiver to my body.
Written in a cool clipped way were instructions to reach for my small back, I did and felt there were cuts. The letter went on to state I do not depart from the tub and call an emergency hotline.
I had heard of this scam but oh no, my talented songstress, my darling Paula.
My dear Paula...
