Sugar is a Crowd for Salt and Pepper

‘I have something important­ –’
‘Not now,’ said Carolyn, and flashed her new Breitling watch. ‘Meet me at Le-Petite around five.’ She cycled away and tinkled her bell.
‘Still waiting,’ toned Maurice. He lifted my cup. ‘Another coffee?’
‘No.’ I paid him and stared out the window.
Carolyn’s Diamond watch niggled me.

We worked out at weekends in Bros Gym, where people ogled her glowing appeal.
Lately, without an explanation, she would disappear for days. No calls.
Was it my business? I dare not ask.
But today! She was never late.
I was going to New York. Would she come along?

Does Money Buy Love?

Does Money Buy Love?

With women, I am a sucker. 
I bought Doreen a penthouse and a Porsche Cabriolet. She fell for a Gigolo.

Marylin was lovely with a taste for blue diamonds.

She gave them to a boyfriend in Amsterdam.

I have everything, but finding love has left me hollow and lonely.

Strolling with Carolyn along the jetty was bliss.

‘My colour is pink,’ she said. ‘Look, it’s for sale.’

A disappointed shudder trembled through my body, and I let go of her hand.

She pointed. ‘That’s what I need to buy, a basket for my bicycle.’ 

I kissed her hand. ‘You should.’
