Stranger in Bordeaux

Comprendre trop peu ... trop comprendre

A girl on a motorbike, wearing an orange helmet, comes out of a side street and stops before entering the main boulevard. I am crossing the street behind her back, checking her out with a corner of my eye. Suddenly she turns and asks me something. I helplessly...

L'héritière et moi

I looked in the direction of the music and saw a girl in a fancy convertible. She didn’t look like any rich woman that I had seen before: she was too young to be a business lady, who was earning enough money to have such a car. Neither did she have the...

Vous voulez cette place?

- Vous voulez cette place? - Non… - I am unable to hide my astonishment that the girl offered me her seat. All right, she looks like a sweet teenager who was taught to give place to elderly. But even though I am probably twice as old as she is, I definitely...

Pourquoi n'as-tu pas m'appellé?

I am waiting on the platform and looking at the people inside the tram, that is about to depart in the other direction. Suddenly, a pretty girl, dressed in a “going out to have fun” outfit separates from her group and starts urgently knocking on the window,...

Fête de la musique

Music festival, that took place yesterday, perhaps deserved mentioning, but due to my weak interest to this kind of things I postponed this till today. (There was time when I loved street parties – but then I was much younger.) According to my friends,...

Bathroom romance

I am not asking you, my dear reader, whether you have ever made love in a bathroom – it is quite possible that you have. I ask whether you have ever made a pass on a girl in a bathroom. (Or whether anyone has made a pass on you?) I am quite fond of the...

Lust and Darkness

The girl has a dark skin – this is not her natural color, but rather a very uniform tan. She does not look French – more Spanish and she is not in a mood to meet with strangers. Even though she is sitting, it is obvious that she is tall. She wears jean...

Huge bookestore

Mollat occupies a whole block. It might take one day the place in my heart that up to now has belonged to the Barnes&Noble in the Union Square.

Contrasts

Crowded tram on Sunday. A blue-eyed blond girl is playing with a thin pink scarf. She wraps it around her head and puts it over her face, leaving only her eyes – as if she is wearing hijab. Her father, sitting on the opposite seat, waves to her: “can...
