The Woman with the Curly Hair

by TT

He saw her walking and smiling and he couldn't help but notice her glow. She turned and they both made eye contact. It was brief but left him wanting more. "What is it about her?" He asked himself as he turned to watch her drive off before he could even say hello. "She was beautiful" He said while feeling foolish for not pursuing her. 

Dante was an educated man, loving, family oriented, funny, all those great qualities in a tall 6'2 frame with chocolate smooth skin. He drove home after buying the belt he needed and he stared in the mirror with his shirt off looking at the fruits of his gym labor, smiling. "I could have gotten her", he said  grinning. 

Elle was finally home after a long day of shopping for wedding shoes. Her best friend was getting married. She was about 5'7 and a light golden brown woman with big brown eyes. Her hair was curly and wild. She liked to feel wild it made her feel free. Her hair was an extension of her outgoing personality. She was a thick woman with curves in all the right places. She loved to eat but also loved to stay fit and healthy. She put on her shoes and sent pictures to her best friend confirming her task was complete. "Finally, I'm done shopping for the wedding, time for wine", she said laughing and grabbing a wine glass from the cabinet. A flash of the chocolate man she made contact with earlier came into her mind. "He was so sexy" she said while sipping her wine.

Days passed and it was time for the wedding. Elle dressed up and headed to the church. It was a small wedding. Her best friend was very private. Of course Elle hated the bridesmaid dress, it reminded her of something she'd seen on 'Little house on the Prarie'. Elle slicked her curly hair into a bun on top of her head so she could match the other two bridesmaids. "Anything for my best friend" she said while looking into the rearview mirror of her car.  

Dante woke up from his second dream about the curly haired woman he saw at the shopping center. In the first dream she had on lingerie and came into his bedroom from the window and then seduced him into making love with her but he woke up before things could get heavy and was very disappointed. In his second dream he was running behind her but could never catch up. "whoa !!" he exclaimed jumping out of bed. Wondering why he can't stop dreaming about her. He then turned to look at the clock and realized he was late. "whoa !!" he exclaimed again  and headed for the shower.

Elle's best friend was beautiful in her wedding dress. All Elle kept thinking was, I hope I don't ruin my makeup with tears. The wedding was about to start there was about 20 people, close family and friends.

Elle straightened her dress and began walking as rehearsed and smiling like a cheerleader with vaseline on her teeth. As Elle got midway down the aisle she stumbled and caught on to the pue beside her. "It's her" she heard him say. Dante remembered her big brown eyes and goofy smile. He chuckled at the coincidence of seeing her here , at his old college room mates wedding. Elle straightened up and smiled at him as she turned to keep walking before anyone noticed. He's here !!! She thought as she kept smiling and making her way towards the altar.

Dante watched her walk to the altar and made eye contact with her as soon as she was in place. He smiled softly and she smiled back feeling embarrassed. After the wedding they met in the reception hall. She said quickly " I almost fell when i saw you sitting in the pue" and began laughing. "I know I look good" he said laughing with her. "Yea you got girls passing out at weddings, OMG" she said jokingly. They both laughed. The groom walked up to Dante and began introducing them to each other. "Dante this is my wife's best friend Elle", he said smiling. "Wait do you guys know each other?" he said puzzled at how comfortable they seemed with each other. "No no we just met " Dante said smiling at Elle.

Dante and Elle danced and exchanged phone numbers. She was very pleased with his dancing skills and ability to still find her attractive in her hideous brides maid dress. The reception ended and he walked her to her car then before he walked away he hugged her close and whispered in her ear " Can I tell you what I loved most when i first saw you." She looked at him smiling " what ?" He slowly began taking the bobby pins out of her now messy bun. She asked, "what are you doing?", but he just said, "shhhhh", while he smiled at her and continuing to let down her  curls until they fell around her face. He stepped back and stared at her, "your hair", he said grinning.

 She smiled and hugged him again. "Thank you for being so sweet" she said as she pulled back and kissed him on the lips. They stood there kissing each other for what felt like eternity. The church parking lot was empty and it was just them two. Dante helped Elle into her car and said sternly "Call me when you make it home." She closed her car door and said, "Yes Dad" , through the window while smiling and driving away. Dante looked back at her as he watched her hair blowing through the window and smiled back as he waved her good bye. "She's beautiful. She better call me" he said while laughing and getting into his car.
