Flash Fiction Friday - Blimey... #FFF

Happy Friday, folks. Hope you've had a great Christmas. Now, just imagine getting this Christmas card...



James opened the card propped up on his desk with a frown. He recognized the writing, of course. He’d seen it often enough when his boss signed the letters he presented to him, but this… this couldn’t be from him.
His sip of coffee went down the wrong way, and coughing he turned the rather explicit card over to read the message.
If you’re not interested, I’ll understand, but I couldn’t think of another way to tell you.
George Mac Kenzie’s cologne alerted James to his presence, and he swung his chair round and sucked in a breath.

“Merry Christmas.”

  3. Very intriguing. What a way to express his interest, and I detected a little sensuality there.
