“The Playboy” Wood Boat
Calolo Oviedo had always been a dandy. He adored the company of young women with
long legs and voluptuous shapes. The day he metDelma, he fell in love immediately, love at first sight. And when the ravishing Delma learned that Mister Oviedo owned many oil wells,
she also fell madly in love. An afternoon of wild passion, Calolo was at the
point of sinking his yacht. You should have seen him running, with little hops, from the bow to the stern,
in his bathing trunks, with a bottle of Champagne in the hand, chasing the
woman of his heart. What passion! Even if Calolo had to stand on a little bench to kiss his beloved and take
pills to maintain his vigor, the fervor of his love was rising like his shares
on the stock market. Up until the moment when he passed out and his doctor advised him to calm his
love lust.
Just Married
Stéphanie always took care of her stylish figure, but since she has been working as
a waitress, she suffered horribly when succulent sandwiches, hamburgers,
pizzas, fries, ice cream, chocolate mousse passed before her eyes……….dishes she could only look at to satisfy herself. One day while working, she
heard a strange sound, like a siren. At first she thought it was her new mobile
phone and then she realized that the whistling came from her stomach and she
felt like crying. At that precise moment a group of young people entered the
restaurant. Among them a boy observed her attentively. It was love at first sight. The young man, dumbstruck, mouth wide open, looked into her eyes and drew a
ridiculous smile. A little while after, Stéphanie couldn't believe what was happening to her, dressed in a wedding dress
with an enormous bouquet of flowers in her hands and seated in a magnificent
convertible next to Gilles, the love of her life, who in an impeccable tuxedo,
had on his lips, the same ridiculous smile of that famous first day.
“The Duchess” (Long white car with chauffer & cat)
The majestic Rolls Royce glided without making a sound along the roads of the
town of Mar del Plata. Daisy, the little Pekinese of Lady Marta Spelanzon, Duchesse de Plataci, dozed
on the back seat at the side of her mistress. “Perkins”, said Lady Marta to her chauffer, “Please drive slower, you are going to mess up the hair of my little Daisy.” Perkins, raised an eyebrow, glanced in his rear view mirror, raised his foot a
little off the accelerator and asked, “Does this speed suit Madame?” The Duchesse, without saying a word, caressed Daisy’s diamond collar, lifted her head and drew a long smoke on her cigarette holder. The tip of the cigarette turned an incandescent red. Lady Marta, couldn’t hide a small smile of satisfaction, and a gentle spiral of smoke enveloped her
capeline hat.
“Business Trip” The Silver Porsche
Miss Belkys, tapped at her machine with one finger, not understanding anything
about computers, speaking no foreign languages, and on top of that hating
accounting and business meetings. Despite these “small” inconveniences, the day of her interview with the president, Mr. Raúl López Monti, she stood out among the 25 best educated candidates in the city and
obtained, without too much effort, the coveted position of personal secretary.
As always, there were some jealous ones who said it was because of her plunging
neckline and tight fitting skirt. Belkys, convinced herself that she earned the
position thanks to the intensive marketing course which she took by
correspondence at the Institute of Middle Studies in Tijuana. The following day
and in a rush, the president left with her on a “business trip” for a week at Paradise Beach, a trip that finally had to be extended to a
month. Back to the office, the new secretary asked for a raise which was
immediately granted. Moreover, her boss announced that she had been an excellent assistant despite
the fact that she hadn’t taken a single note because she had forgotten all the files at the office.
The Green Jaguar “The Dream”
The magnificent convertible was a pure wonder. With its curved lines, its majestic allure and extraordinary power, it couldn’t pass un-noticed. It was a real luxury car, but Carlos Pereyra had the means. The most beautiful woman of high society fought for his company. He preferred redheads with long hair and well-developed chests. That particular day, the top model most in vogue at the moment, was at his
side. He had everything to be happy. Suddenly the alarm rang with a deafening noise. Carlos awoke abruptly and looked at his watch and began to dress saying to
himself, that perhaps with a little chance, he’ll have the same dream the following night.
