A Good Deed

Imagine my surprise when after all this time and trying to get your attention, we finally got to talk a bit and even though you say the word 'coffee' like you're a native New Yorker (sounds like cawfee), I was smitten by your easy smile, quick laugh and not to mention your love of fitness, which showed. I sure noticed that aspect.

After weeks and months of talking socially and swapping innocent emails, I couldn't help but wonder if you had some of the same feelings for me as I did for you. Interest, lust, curiosity. Not necessarily in that order.

Imagine my surprise again, when I bumped into you at the grocery store, shopping for the regular stuff. Your are the cook, shopper, care-giver for your only daughter. Your ex is somewhere in Pennsylvania. Is there someone else in your life? Do you have a man with you, a significant other? When was the last time you had sex? These were all questions I was dying to ask, but that would represent a step closer to the line of inappropriateness, which is a slippery slope indeed.

Once again, fate and surprise—or surprise and then fate—would intervene when a few weeks later I ran into you at the neighborhood hardware store, shopping for some light bulbs, wires, and a couple other assorted tools. A handyman to boot (or handywoman as it were).

"Some upcoming housework on the agenda for the weekend?" I offered.

"Someone has to do it because it doesn't get done itself."

I notice a couple flood light bulbs in the basket of goods, and they were of the indoor and outdoor varieties.

"Are you going to climb up on those ladders, like way up in the air?"

"That's where the lights are," was your reply, with just a little sarcasm. No doubt that's were some lights are...

"That's how people fall and break things. Cleaning gutters and changing lightbulbs. And before you know it, the ladder slips, or a bee stings you or some similar instantaneous tragedy." I had some experience with some people taking some major falls and some major injuries.

Your look was not impressed by my statement of the obvious.

"And how do you propose those light bulbs get changed to ward off the evils that come in the night?"

"I call someone...there's bound to be someone you know who can climb up there...a fireman, gutter cleaner and the like."

"That just costs money. I've done it myself for years. And see? Nothing broken."

"I have seen that many times at the gym," I state, again the obvious, but stealing a chance to acknowledge your very fit legs and gluteal region muscles.

"I'm glad someone notices...it's not easy these days."

"What do you mean?"

"Well, all the good guys are taken. So a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do."

"You mean around the house and all," not quite grasping the innuendo, pointing to the basket of housework coming up in your weekend plans.

"Whatever it takes," was your reply, and with a sly smile, and finally I picked up the meaning, a bit slow on the uptake.
