PHILIPE' SABER

He's both cool and hot.

Philipe' first caught my eye online and then out of pure luck or pure satanic curse, I saw him again at a book signing.

He appeared oblivious but there was something about him. 

I just could not turn away.

I had to meet him.

.

Still sitting in the parking place I'd pretended was a legitimate spot, still in my Challenger, I rested my driving hand upon the steering wheel and flipped on some music.

Slow Hand by the Pointer sisters came on and I happened to see this guy, thirty-ish, walking around but keeping his eyes on a small family of a couple or three other people standing by their car, I presumed.

.

He leisurely strolled the grounds, I put my chin up on my hand on the steering wheel as if it could get me a closer look. I swear this guy possesses a fully ripe cucumber in and exceeding his left hand pocket!

.

My chest pounds against the steering wheel where I'm leaning into it for a better look.

My impulses overwhelm me and I grab the door handle. It's locked and I don't know where the switch is. The cucumber guy is walking toward the family and they all get into a car. By the time I finally get myself free, they've gone.

.

I scramble out of the car just as a kid runs up to me. He's a parking attendant with the surrounding businesses who own the land and he laughs when he sees me looking hard at Saber leaving the grounds.

.

"That's Philipe' Saber! He used to be just a regular guy! Even worked here parking vehicles for a buck here and there once in a blue moon until he got all high and mighty! Got himself a book published!" The kid shakes his head and his long blonde hair flies back and forth.

.

"I'll write his number and address for ya!" The blonde guy grabs a pen and paper from his shirt pocket, scrawls address and phone number for Philipe' Saber and handing me the paper says, "By the by, ma'am, this is not a parking space."

Almost done with my novel. Self pubnlish or search the universe for a bloddy agent.

@Philip Gaber Look at your picture.Have you never noticed? Of course you have. You are the owner. Amazing.

[Philip Gaber]

That's a great nom de plume. Might even legally change my name to that.

[GlendaK]

You should've seen the first idea. A total X rated scorcher. I trashed it. You are way more classy. See? Nom de plume. I had to research it. See ya around X.

[GlendaK]

Yeah. Philipe' Saber. Total Class.
