Re: My tryst in Paris
Her name was Audrey.She is 24 years old and part time study and working in a post office in central Paris.She stays in the 13th Arrondissement district of Montmartre.I was already 36 years but she said I looked 10 years younger.We chatted about why I came to Paris on my own and how I would spend the next couple of days in this big city.It was in November and the evening was quickly darkening even at 6 pm.As I glanced out of the cafe everybody was huddling and pulling their coats tight and walking fast against the chilly weather outside.We were very cosy and warm in the cafe and at that moment it was like in the old french movie .It was so romantic.Me a nerdy looking chinese man with a beautiful young nuble Parisian goddess.Was it really real?I pinch myself I was not dreaming in my sleep.The warm glow of the lights in the cafe on this gal face revealed bluish tint to her pupils ,perfectly made lips ,with tinge of lipstick.No eye shadows or any other make up.All naturale.Very few spots of light freckles on the cheeks.Her ears were well shaped and nicely placed.I remembered she wore a light brown over coat over a floral dress with buttons off the neck and chest area.
I was sitting on her left of the table and could occasionally have a fleeting glance at her slight cleavage without her noticing me.I can't help it!.My intentions at that time was entirely gentlemanly and platonic.Occasionaly I glanced downwards at my feet.I noticed she was wearing a pair of tight pants black in colour like those gals wore for horse riding.She had almost knee high boots in black.Her hair was light brown shoulder length and slightly curled.Small simple ear rings.No nail polish.Very fair complexion slim fingers and hand.On the table she place her small clutch bag.I had already 2 cups of expresso and one cup of cuppucino.I ordered a small pot of rose tea for Audrey and we shared an apple pie.The cafe was one third full mostly old ladies and retired veterans.A few gentlemen were sitting across and they were looking at both of us several times.I told this goddess that I was most surprised that she would come over to make my acqaintance especially since I was a unremarkable yellow skin in this French cafe.She told me that because I looked like Jacky Cheung the singer and that she has been to HongKong before and attended his concert.She thought I might be him!She said she "sek kong sui sui kwong tong wah"!I laughed.But me no speak french thats worse.Only know mademoiselle.From henceforth we warmed up and started talking on light hearted stuffs and even religion and relationships.Her English was superb and sounds so nice in Parisian accent like those ladies in 'Allo Allo'.So sexy and beautiful.You know I told Audrey we can never have this sort of encounter in Singapore.Is really like a dream.She has just broken off from her boyfriend in her work place.She dropped in one early morning to pass him back his scooter keys only to find his ex boyfriend romping in bed with another gal.She cried and ran not even pick up her stuffs there.She even said her ex was really good looking and terrific in bed.She felt like dying in his arms during lovemaking.I told her I just came off a divorce and trying to sort things out for myself and would be very happy just spending time in a French road side cafe just reading and thinking.She noticed also that I was reading Dante's Inferno from where she was previously sitting and that was also why she came over to chat me up.She said poetry and books have been replaced by internet and TVs and movies.Hardly anybody read poetry these days.So it was very unusual for a chinese man to be sitting in a French cafe in a cold chilly November evening pouring over the thick book written by Dante himself in the 13th century.Was I a professor or what she asked.And so we talk and talk and talk and laugh and cried over our sadness and unhappy lovelife.Soon it was 8pm.Most of the ppl in the cafe had left.I took courage and asked whether she had to gome home for dinner.She said she dont mind a free dinner!Good I said in my heart I can some more time with this goddess.Now where to eat in Paris.Some where nice romantic and not too expensive.
To be cont'd.
