its a queer thinghed been
caught if caught is the appropriate word even when he was caught redhanded he
didnt avert his eyes theyd keencatch
him hed nod his appreciationhe wasnt leering theyd smile they took it as he meant a compliment
it was particularly queer when he
was found admiring an attribute say their ass when he wasnt an ass man
he supposed if he took the time
to make a list breasts at the top asses wouldnt crack the top ten
breasts
widespaced eyes
throats
armpits
he remembered coming into an aisle in a
grocery store where a young woman was reaching on tiptoes for a can of
something or other her armpit was cleanshaven appeared sculpted he could either trace up her muscled arm or
dip into the side of her ample breast an
intriguing no-mans land
Can I help he asked
Please, if you would, it’s just
beyond my reach.
I can see
Did you jump
Excuse me?
Did you try to jump and snatch it
off the shelf
Jump?
Yes
The can is heavy, it’s also
awkward; its bigger round than I can comfortably hold.
Sounds like excuses
You should try and jump and knock it free from the shelf then catch it as it falls
You really think so.
Tell ya wha I couldnt help but notice you all stretched
upreaching youll excuse me if I tell you
how attractive you are and were in your
attempt
I was particularly fascinated by your armpit which if not striking you odd struck me odd You have an attractive armpit as well
she blushed
The colour looks good on you
That admitted if you jump earnestly to try an rock the can an cant Ill get it for you I have to admit that this is an odd happenstance but its nature is quite revelatory Prior to this moment an forever beyond you have informed me of the beauty of a womans armpit
she blushed a deeper shade
Thank you Ive been petty Thank you for the illumination
she jumped once
twicea third time without him cajoling her hed run them over in his mind that
night and nights since
OKAY Yer killin me
a peal of deep laughter rolled from her
throat she didnt cover her mouth
You keep that up Ill fall in love
with you
One can
through her big smilethrough bright tears in her eyes
Yes, one can, please.
I may not be here next time
Okay. Three cans.
Smart Theyre on sale today
he handed her two more cans
That was delightfulthank you
Thank
you.
Yare welcome
he was happy to help and over the moon to recognise a womans armpit as worthy of admiration
