FlashNano Day 12: Write a story inspired (in any way) by this video:

SONY DSC

I met him on Electric Avenue. I should have known better, but there was something in the air tonight and he had the look of a guy who was hungry like a wolf.

When he whispered, “Come dancing,” I couldn’t say no. I’m not a material girl, but I’ve always been drawn to a sharp dressed man.

We rocked the casbah that night and let’s just put it this way, I wasn’t a goody two shoes. I guess I just wanted to be somebody’s baby. Well, as they say, one thing leads to another and we were getting physical. He touched me with a slow hand and I was lost in love. Caught up in the heat of the moment and his sexual healing was just what I needed. Unfortunately, I was a fool and fell in love.

The next morning as he did the stray cat strut out the door, all I could do was scream, “Do you really want to hurt me?”

“Relax, baby, voices carry. It’s time for me to fly.”

“Fine, goodbye to you!” I said to the closed door.

I rushed to the window and watched him drive off in his little red corvette.

Foolish of me, I know, but it felt like we were islands in the stream and I swear I saw the look of love in his eyes too. Alas, he was nothing but a heartbreaker.

I called him every hour on the hour, waiting to hear his sultry voice say, “Hello,’ But, I got no reply at all.

It’s not like I thought we’d have a white wedding or anything, but it’s human nature to want to experience a crazy little thing called love.

::Sigh:: Love is a battlefield and I’m just an owner of a lonely heart once again.

  2. Haha, this was awesome Jody. It was fun placing all of the songs throughout. On a random note: I love that your comment section says “comments welcome, unless they’ll make me cry” Made me laugh.

  3. I guess you weren’t the one he was looking for…. did he tell you that you were much too fast?
    Skidmarks of your heart…Tainted Love…What becomes of the brokenhearted
    Who has love that’s now departed
    I know I’ve got to find
    Some kind of peace of mind,
    help me, please
