I saw a red-headed woman today.
She was sitting across from me on the subway. Short, spiky red hair, wearing a dress with some kind of floral print. Very colorful, to match that hair. Summer had arrived in Washington, DC with a vengeance, and her dress was naturally a mini, cut rather low in front and in back. The dress suited her well, providing just the slightest view of her cleavage, and tight enough to emphasize her small, but very round breasts. She had a very stylish air about her, with the dress, the violet-tinted sunglasses, the shiny diamond on her engagement ring.
I had spent a lifetime being completely ignored by women like her.
I suppose that I looked presentable enough to her. I was on my way back to the office after meeting a client for breakfast, so I was uncharacteristically dressed in the uniform of a Washington lobbyist-blue blazer, subdued red tie, khaki slacks. In other words, I blended admirably into the scenery.
She was clearly too good for me. She had a leather overnight bag between her legs, one of those briefcase-suitcase combos on wheels, with a baggage tag issued by some airline's frequent-traveler clubs. Maybe she was a lobbyist herself...but in that dress? She definitely did not fit the conservative mold of Washington, wearing that dress. And also, not in the way that she sat, leaning back against the wall of the Metro car, with her legs slightly spread apart. I reveled in the view of her inner thighs, creamy white. From my angle, I couldn't quite see her panties-that would have been extremely unladylike of her-and anyway, she dropped her left hand between her legs, blocking my view. Instead, I fixated on that hand, with the shiny diamond, as her delicate fingers absent-mindedly stroked the milky skin on the inside of her leg.
Too good for me by far.
Behind the tinted sunglasses, I could see the outline of her eyes, but not where they were focused. She clearly was not looking at me, glancing off to the side, then leaning forward to rest her forehead on her right hand. The fullness of her breasts was even more apparent now that I could peer down her neckline. Had she leaned forward further, I could possibly have glimpsed a nipple, as she wasn't wearing a bra. But that definitely would not have been appropriate for such a proper, stylish, classy woman.
