VSS-5

Hi,

This is my fifth VSS (Very Short Story), Hope you liked the previous ones.
As usual comments and feedback invited.


============================

VSS-5

Let me tell u a piece of truth,
It wasnt my first visit.

Still I was shyer for two prominent reasons.
Firstly,
the one to one interaction with a total stranger in an abruptly lit
room is unsatisfying.
And secondly, I the client , had to sufficiently groom myself for the
success of the event.

Attempting to trace my requirements, a man takes me aside, carefully
opens an album and turns to page-7.

I stare.

The damsel on the page is attractive. Adorned with blakened eyebrows,
fair-skinned cheeks, she pleased my eyes instantly.
I needed this.
"40 for one" My neighbour quoted the price accented in a local dialect..!
I pretended to ignore.
"Do you have large ...." Rephrasing the interrogation wasnt necessary.
he smiled me right and flipped 3 pages.

The bargain ended soon and I was tiptoed to a semi-dark enclosure.

Succumbing to a chair, I tried to confident myself.
A voice mumbled, "Say Cheese"
