For the Love of Jack ... Mr. EDS



When you least expect it ... There he is, Mr EDS!

Today I was in the paint store, buying all the colors of India in liquid form. I woke up thinking if I had to stare at all my tall white walls one my day, I might loose my mind. Loft white can be very overwhelming. So I ventured into my old neighborhood, home of 3 guys I have dated ... A very risky proposition, especially since I raced out the door without the usual Tarty primping. Not even a brushing of the hair, just a summer Indian halter dress for the road. Nah, surely those boys would all be home safely away from me with their wives, girlfriends or Saturday night sleepover dates!

I was in the roller brush isle ... Overwhelmed with all the options & out of the corner of my eye I see this handsome guy walking my way. Yikes, thank heavens I had the sense to a least put on eyeliner before I walked out the door this morning. My Mom would be proud!

Enter Jack, not his real name, natch!

Is it a sin to lust after another woman's husband in the roller brush section of Home Depot? Cuz Jack is so sinable. Yow, marriage really agrees with him. A happy man who is out getting caulk for some handy-man home repair duty is so sexy!! Especially when he admits that he will probably screw up the entire repair. Jack could always make me laugh.

Jack was a big cheese at EDS when I was seeing him. He was a hot corporate guy with an incredible house. Brooks Brothers never looked so good ... Jack in a starched white shirt could take your breath away.

What I remember best is that one Christmas I gave him a set of fancy outdoor grill cleaners from Crate & Barrel. He was stunned. He said, I was the first person to ever 'get' him. You see, Jack was big time anal retentive & I knew those grill cleaners would mean more to him than anything in the world. That night he went out to the garage & cleaned his grills with glee. It was a good a good Christmas Eve for all, mmm ALL!!

Old time kisses,
The Tart
