He Wasn’t Her First, by NT Franklin

20/3/2020

 
Emily knew he spotted her across the room. The blond wig always did the trick at seedy bars. She hoisted a cheek onto an empty barstool, then seductively crossed her legs. She counted to herself…one…two…three…

“I’m Sam. Can I buy you a drink?”

He didn’t make it to five, she thought. “Thanks. Scotch, neat.”

A nod to the barkeep and a glass with scotch appeared.
“You come here often?” Sam asked.

Is that the best he can come up with? she said to herself “First time. I’m new in the area and I don’t know anyone.”

He watched her throw back the drink.

“Another?” Sam asked.

“Maybe, but I’d like to get out of here.”

“I live around the corner if you’d like a nightcap.”

“You know, Sam, I’d like that.

He really did live just around the corner. Emily took off her coat and made herself comfortable. When Sam came out of the kitchen and set down the two drinks, she stood up. He retuned her warm smile and she went to him. From behind, she put her left hand on Sam’s forehead. Sam closed his eyes and as she pressed firmly on his forehead. He never saw the right hand come shooting up, cupping the chin and snapping his head back in concert with a quick twist of the left hand. This wasn’t her first. In fact, Sam made lucky thirteen.

I was expecting a typical sultry bar scene! I love how you twisted it at the end (literally). Great job!

Ha, nice twist there, but what a nasty representation of the female species!

Empowered, strong, decisive. Every man’s dream.

I wondered how the night was going to end for them both... didn't see THAT coming though! It's a bold twist, and in only 500 words too - nice job! (Is it bad that I'm unable to resist adding #notallwomen though? ;) )

Thanks for the kind words, and no, not every woman (nor every man!).

    Longer Friday Flash Fiction Stories

    Friday Flash Fiction is primarily a site for stories of 100 words or fewer, and our authors are expected to take on that challenge if they possibly can. Most stories of under 150 words can be trimmed and we do not accept submissions of 101-150 words.


    However, in response to demand, the FFF team constructed this forum for significantly longer stories of 151-500 words. Please send submissions for these using the Submissions Page.

    Stories to the 500 word thread will be posted as soon as we can mange.

    One little further note. Posting and publishing 500-word stories takes a little time if they need to be formatted, too.
    ​Please note that we tend to post longer flash fiction exactly as we find it – wrong spacing, everything.
