Still a Caterpillar...Someday a Butterfly!: A little story

A little story

I saw a funny thing last night on the walk from the bus to my place.

A young Muslim couple was walking in front on me. The girl was wearing a white head scarf, a short jacket, and loose-fitting light-colored jeans or pants. He was walking with his arm around her shoulders. I think they were in their mid-20's or so, but it was hard for me to tell in the semi-dark.

When they reached a corner she stopped and leaned forward to retie her shoe. He stood next to her and looked around. As I approached, what jumped out at me was the top third of her ass mooning out at me - the loose-fitting pants showed quite a bit of cheek. But the most surprising thing, to me at least, was the sexy little red thong that disappeared between her ass cheeks! A head scarf and a thong - I never quite pictured them together on the same person before!!

That's all for now - I have to get ready for work!

How I Feel

"I am two women: one wants to have all the joy, passion and adventure that life can give me. The other wants to be a slave to routine, to family life, to the things that can be planned and achieved."

"Desire is an entirely free sensation, loose in the air, vibrating, filling life with the will to have something..."

- Eleven Minutes by Paulo Coelho

Quotes That Touch and Inspire Me

This got me to thinking further.
