Cocktails at Mother's
WC 243


Eva struggled with her outfit; I observed, silently. She doesn’t like when I add my two cents.

“This doesn’t work!” she screamed.

The fuchsia sweater flew across the bedroom.

“I thought it looked fine,” I mumbled.

“What?”

“We’re going to be late, Eva.” I tapped the face of my Rolex.

“You don’t need to remind me.” She wrapped the red belt around her waist and cinched it. “I look like a sausage with a rubber band around it.” The belt flew across the room, joining the pile of discarded garments.

“We can’t be late. You know how my mother gets.”

“I don’t give a flying burrito about your mother.”

I didn’t want to open that can of beans, so I busied myself retying my tie. I watched her in the mirror while she selected a paisley scarf, the one my mother got her last Christmas.

“That’ll make her happy.”

“Oh, that’s right. She got me that.”

The scarf went flying; at the same instant the phone rang.

“Hello? Yes, Mother, we’re just leaving...Okay...okay...sure. See you in a few.” I hung up the phone.

“What did she want?”

“She wants us to pick up some olives for her martini. So we have to go.”

Eva stepped into a dress that buttoned up the front. She was wearing a sexy push-up bra. I turned toward her. Our eyes met. We fell onto the bed in heated passion.

Mother would have to drink her martini naked.
