Fantabulous!
…..
(I’ll be traveling Thursday but know that I look forward to reading every story when I get off the road.)
Relativity
Dubbed “Flower Power” (he mentally prefaced “flower” with “de”), the car was staged in the garage as if at the drive-in: theater-sized TV, food, plenty of booze, popcorn. Girls loved it…and he looooooved lovin’ the girls!
Reaching toward tonight’s conquest-in-waiting, he slipped smoothly into his practiced routine. Lust turned to shock when the steering wheel shot out, trapping him, the seat belt snaking around him. Her kiss left him, literally, speechless. Starting the car as she climbed out, she cocked an eyebrow and queried, “Ever hear of Morgan le Fay? Distant relative.”
The garage door rolled inexorably down behind her.

This, that and the other thing 
oooooh.
dirty little trickster.
He may have had it coming but not to that degree.
Where is Merlin when you need him?
I think she did it on behalf of all women (at least within his grasp, so to speak.)
Dear Janet,
Your introduction was easily as good as your story. Both fantabulous indeed.
Aloha,
Doug
Wow, I didn’t recognize you with the new name (which I love!) Thanks for coming by and I’m always pleased when you like my writing. Have a fantabulous day in paradise.
janet
Ha, a little sorcery can be useful dealing with those dirty ol’ men.
Exactly! Glad you liked it.
Ah, a little magical comeuppance.
Just what he needed, although this may be a little severe. 😉
I like how “she cocked an eyebrow”. I can just see her do it 🙂
I actually did that myself a few times, Spock-like, as I imagined how she might look as she said this.
Extremely diabolically, I imagine. Very nice!
Nice one. He’ll be lusting after some fresh air shortly. Great take on the prompt Janet.
Thanks, Sandra. He may not be lusting long for anything unless someone happens by.
this is Fantabulous! i loooooved your story and your intro.
deflower power. haha hilarious. reminds me of the p*ssy wagon in Kill Bill. oh god, why do men like that exist
Didn’t see “Kill Bill” but I’m glad you liked the story (and intro.) Women had the last word here, though.
same w/ kill bill, you should’ve seen what uma thurman did to that perv! lol grisly scene of course ^^
I’ll take your word for it. 🙂
We exist cause we do! I quite liked her actually – my kinda gal! Hee hee!
Glad you liked her. I hope she would like you. 🙂
Probably not!! Oh well, that’s how it goes!
If she doesn’t, be sure not to put the moves on her if you’re a man-about -town!
I’m just a mouse about town..you know her better than me..will take heed of the writer’s advice..!
🙂
Fantastically Fabbulous!!
Thanks, Len.
Great story. So, was she stalking him for taking advantage of her friends or did she react badly to his advances?
Yes. 🙂
astoundingly alliterative!
Thank thou and thee you thoon.
of course you are alluringly alliterative too.
Too true. 🙂
Sweet revenge. That will learn him.
It’s a one-time lesson.
I’m sure. 🙂
What a creep with a capital “C”! I really liked the line about him adding “de” to the description of his (pathetic) car. Your heroine is fabulous.
Denmother
She thanks you. I actually love the idea of setting the car up as if it were at a drive-in, but not where he went with it after that.
Makes me think of a really cheap date with all the intentions of a drive-in score.
Ah, that’s the story line but in real life, it could be cool. I’d watch with my husband. But I’d like much classier, comfortable seats!!
So, not shopping carts? hahaha.
Ha! I loved this.
I’m glad. Love is always appreciated, just not his sort.
Have to say I’m with you on the merits of the phony drive-in–ingenious idea! Now that you’re moving, you can put space for one on your wish list. I vote for a ’59 Caddie convertible, pink, with lots of chrome in the front, fins in the back–great drive-in centerpiece.
Way cool, vb! Unfortunately, that would mean both the van and the car would have to sit outside. Maybe on the deck??
He better hope the gas tank is near empty… good one! But then, she would have thought of that.
I don’t think she needs to stop at the gas pump. Anyway, he doesn’t drive this car. It’s just for seduction (or was.)
Dear Janet,
Oh Snap! Witchy woman, how high can you fly? “Conquest in waiting” nice. Too bad things didn’t work out for him…well, not really too bad. You made me Google. Fun story with a great twist!
You are the intro queen, my dear.
Shalom,
Rochelle
Considering where those compliments came from, they are doubly appreciated (or maybe triply, if that’s a word.)
Thanks much!
janet
He had it comin’… The song from ‘Chicago’ keeps reverberating about in my head…!
No second chance for this dude..! 😉
Definitely no second chance. Thanks for stopping and reading. I appreciate your comment.
janet
Two for one! Awesome intro and great story! I like this line: “he slipped smoothly into his practiced routine”
Thanks, Abraham. Nice to see you this morning.
janet
Oh my gosh. How long is she going to leave him there. I love the twist.
I have a feeling he’s there for the duration unless someone happens by. Glad you liked it!
janet
reads like a stephen king short story. well done. but now i have to look up morgan le fay.
Rich, that compliment means a lot to me. Thanks. Morgan caused a few problems for Arthur and the knights back in the round table days.
janet
Sounds like a party for one now. He set his own trap. Very nice tale of the guy getting what he deserved Janet.
Thanks, Joe. What goes around sometimes does come around, I guess.
janet
Excellent job!

Wow … loved the narrative !!!
Thanks very much!
janet
A snuff film. I wonder how long he screamed… Nice one!
We don’t know because we couldn’t hear it and neither could anyone else. 🙂
janet
Brilliant story – loved the ‘deflowering’ line, you write a very convincing slimy old man! Glad he got his just desserts 🙂
He won’t have the chance to become a dirty old man because only the bad die young. Glad you liked the deflowering. Such a descriptive term.
janet
What was that you were saying about going over to the dark side every now and then? 😉 Well done, Janet! (And seriously, “Ick!” is all I have to say about this guy!)
Eww… but I like it!
So glad you came by and visited me today. Thanks!
And thanks for the return visit. Traveling by that super cr is really fast. 🙂
janet
thata girl! nice one.
lol. that was good:) Thank you for coming over to my blog
Fun story but not sure I understand why she was so bitter. “Girls loved it” you said, so why not? I hope King Arthur takes Excalibur and bans her!
Ooh! This is cool!
And so is your intro. You outdo yourself every week!
Janet, I think this guy had it coming to him. I thought the make out car idea was pretty funny. I loved your intro, too. – Amy
OMG brought back the memories of the Drive In for me – some good, some not so.. good work 🙂
Can I say I love this? Love it when a man or woman gets their comeuppance. He thought he had it made, again. Turns out he was sadly mistaken.
Are you kidding? You’re always welcome to say you love something I wrote. 🙂 He was definitely mistaken but he won’t make that mistake (or any others) again.
Have a fabulous Friday!
janet
Fun, fun, fun! I love the alliteration!
I’m glad. Thanks for visiting!
janet
One of my favorites so far. Nice job.
Thanks, Shirley.
janet
As a matter of fact I had never heard of Morgan le Fay. I googled her, and so now I know the rest of the story.
Well done. I think you’re sending many of us to The Google (as I call it). Sounds like the guy had it coming. So, he messed around with all the ladies and kept pictures as proof, I take it. This gal wasn’t going to have any of it. Nice.
She took revenge for herself and all those others. Thanks for reading, Beth. I enjoyed your story, too. What a great picture!
janet
Very Paul Harvey-comment (“now you know the rest of the story!”) I read a lot of Arthurian books growing up.
I loved the fake drive-in idea, but would prefer a nicer companion I must say. As a Brit I’ve never been to a drive in and would love to know if they are actually fun or not? Can’t see the idea working over here – you’re need your windscreen wipers too much!
If the weather’s not good, it wouldn’t be much fun, so I can see why they never caught on in Britain. At least the fake one was indoors but the weather was obviously too hot and humid. 🙂
janet
Hi Janet,
There’s always a psycho in the mix, a Jodi Arias, a Lorena Bobbit. Why can’t we all just get along? Loved the Morgan Le Fay reference. Rich in comeuppance. Ron
A little more subtle than Lorena, I think, Ron (as would be almost anything.) Glad you liked it and thanks for the comment.
janet
Very nice way to make sure that Lothario got his comeuppance! Gotta watch out for those descendants of Morgan! 😉
Here’s mine: http://unexpectedpaths.com/friday-fictioneers/eye-of-the-beholder/
He could probably sue her for not letting him know about the relationship, but I doubt he would know Morgan from anything. He’s probably think his magic was greater than hers. I’ve worked my way to the end of the row above yours, so either tonight or tomorrow I’ll see you.
janet
Now why can’t I have a little bit of Morgan in me?? Great story Janet, Just goes to show you have to be careful of who is in the family tree.
It’s all relative. 🙂 Happy you liked the story, Jackie. You just need a little Morgan in you…and stay away from these types of guys.
janet
I had to look up Morgan le Fey too (I love that name BTW). This poor boy got in more trouble than Junior. Rachel strongly approves!
I thought she might. Thanks, Russ.
janet
Great intro and great story. Serves him right!
Thanks for coming by, H.L. I’ve been having fun with intros the last three weeks, so I’m happy you guys are enjoying them, too. As for the story, I’m glad you liked that as well.
Enjoy your weekend!
janet
Like this a lot.
Good. Thanks for letting me entertain you.
Enjoy the weekend!
janet
Really vivid, I love the seat belt snaking round him, and the closing of the garage door. This won’t end well. For him.
You’re exactly right, Trudy. Thanks for stopping by and I’m pleased you liked the story. Enjoy your Saturday.
janet
Great story Janet. Love the reference to Morgan le Fey, a favourite, much preferred her to Merlin!
I also like the alliteration intro, getting to be almost as good as your stories.
Hope you had a good trip
Dee
Thanks, Dee. Glad you liked the story and the intro. I’ve been having fun with the latter. I did have a good trip. 🙂
janet
boy, i am learning so much…just had to Google a British artist and now, Morgan. 🙂 love your story, Janet. had a bit of “Girl With the Dragon Tattoo” feel to it. glad this gal wiped the creepo out.
Thanks, sunshine. Hope you’re having a sunny weekend. Thanks for dropping by.
janet
Several thoughts come to mind with your take on the photo. First, great story, well written. Second, harsh but life can be that way. Third, nice when those that “do” get their comeuppance.
Thanks for the visit and comments, Penny. Revenge is best served–period. 🙂 I really enjoyed the idea of setting up the car and garage as a drive-in, but I wasn’t so keen on the way he decided to use it. Well, he won’t be doing it anymore.
Have a great Sunday!
janet
Ah ha! He got his comeuppance! Tricky tale, told in a sprightly and vivid style. I am not sure about the garage door rolling down inexorably. With a final thud, would be more like it….
The final thud comes after the inexorable roll down. When she left, it was still on its way to that finale.
Thanks for stopping by!
janet
A fantastically fun fable for fiction fans! I liked this one and I see two ways this could go once that garage door is down. For the sake of our hero I hope it goes in the more pleasurable direction I’m imagining!
Thanks for dropping in, Michael. I’m glad you enjoyed it and although I can see your point about the alternate ending, I don’t really see this ending well for him. 🙂
Marvelous Monday to you,
janet
‘Her kiss left him, literally, speechless’. I’m guessing she took more than his breath away. Great story. I love your anti-hero. Very funny! Ann
You’re right, Ann. No calling for help from him. Thanks for stopping by. See you again soon.
