The Great Seduction
By Robert Locke



“ What Do I have to do to seduce you John?” John looks at his friend Amy in the eyes and he really has no answer to give. “ I don’t know Amy. I never have been seduced, before..” Amy knows what he means. Amy really likes John. Amy is 34-year-old single mother of a 7-month-old baby girl by the name of Anna. Amy met John through their Church about two years ago. Amy had no friends in the city. It was on A Cool October Sunday morning just like today, when she saw him. John was having problems carrying his after mass luncheon that the ladies put on every other Sunday after mass so that the members can get to know each other. Amy began helping him right away. John has a slight case of cerebral palsy. Amy brings John to her table and they sat there quietly eating. John and Amy are sitting at the kitchen table. John looks deeply into Amy’s crystal blue eyes. John cannot understand why a beautifully perfect woman like her is with him.
“ Amy, have I told you I love you, lately?” Amy blushes as if she is sixteen years old. “ No…. not since, yesterday.” She reaching over Amy kisses John on the lips. John feels electricity shooting through him. When the two pairs of lips meet together though the kiss, it self, last but a few minutes. If you would have told John that he was going to be kissed by a ten, he would of laughed in your face. John, likes the feel of a woman’s lips. Whether, they are smooth as glass or aged like a well-weathered porch deck. Kissing a woman’s lips is a magical experience. To be kissing a woman such as Amy is like, Haley’s comet. It may happen every 100 years. The oven’s timer goes off. Amy walks to the oven. John can smell the chicken breasts with a touch of mint and orange zest filling up the house. Amy knows to really win Johns heart is through his stomach Therefore, she decided that she would make him a dinner with some of his favorite ingredients and spices. She caramelized mint sugar with limejuice. She knew that she had to really influence him tonight. She made him favorite side dishes, as well. During, dinner John finds himself making as much of a mess as Anna does when she eats. The only difference is that he is 42.
Amy knew this would happen because it has happened a many of times; they have had dinner together so she had plenty of napkins waiting for this occasion. Knowing, that they were going to be having BBQ together she brought out the wet naps. As John starts cleaning off his beard and mustache with the wet nap. Amy , takes over, as her motherly instincts start to show.
“ So what is for after dinner, Amy dear?” John gives her his big blue eyes.
“ Me.” Amy whispers into Johns ear. When John hears that one single word in his ear John says.
“ That I believe my dear can seduce me.”
