I noticed it at dinner. She was wearing a deliciously low cut dress, red, my favourite. She leaned forward to say something softly to me, I don’t even remember what, all I remember is the scent of perfume, the slip of her dress, and the F.
Just there, just beneath the silk written on her breast, in black, ink? Makeup? The letter F.
She knows I saw and I know the motion was deliberate. Everything about tonight has been deliberate, from the choice of venue (our first date), to the dress (the last I bought her before I left) to the F written on her left breast.
We kiss like teenagers the entire Uber ride back to hers, she tastes familiar yet different; her choice of wine has changed but her tongue still does that thing. Her body presses against me, I feel the heat of her through the thin fabric of her dress and my shirt. The driver must hate us. My hand slips up her dress to find lace, heat, dampness. She spreads her legs a little. The driver must love us.
