Three
I had flown over the island of Martinique a few
years back on my way to Barbados on the tail
of some cattle thieves. I remember thinking at
the time how serene the waters were
surrounding the island from 200 feet in the air
the serenity also flowing inwards to the lush
green vegetation below me. A couple of hours
into my usual Friday evening that begins
officially at 2 pm once a week I got a call from
a mademoiselle on the tiny island. Shewanted to know if I could come and see her.
After pondering briefly whether this might
have been a blast from my past I was quickly
set straight.
Theyve pinched all the periwinkle.
She wasnt very alarmed. At least from her
tone one got the sense that this kind of thing
happened all the time. That Ive never in fact
seen a periwinkle and had no clue why anyonewould want to pinch one I decided she must
just be reserved as tone goes. And so I kind of
fell in love. I could tell from her breathing in
between the words she was going to wear her
-

skin well. That with her obvious reservation
made quite a package. I couldnt wait to get
to Fort-De-France where I was to meetMerielle and see what all this periwinkle
pinching was all about. If time permitted and
the mademoiselle allowed it, I might do a little
pinching myself.. all as a matter of business ofcourse.
My plane was a little turboprop that seemed
to be a few weeks overdue on an oil-change.
As we descended from the sky above
Martinique Isle a puff of dust exited the back
of one of our engines. And after climbing from
the deathtrap and securing my suit bag I could
still see the dust pock we left there above thistropical paradise the dust trying in vain to
decapitate. The stain was a matter of some
embarrassment for our pilot I could tell too,
for he couldnt stop raising his head to the sky
in awe of itevery 5 seconds or so.
All the same my flight wasnt all bad. I had
shared the ride in with 3 other people also
eager to exchange the warmest night in recent

months in Nassau for some hopefully fun ones
in Martinique. There was the bagless almost
shirtless playboy that made sure to sit in therearmost row of seats as soon as he entered
so, I had imagined, he could take in the all
subsequent rears of the entering passengers.
There was the professor with the doctors bagwho didnt look like he was out for fun at all in
FDF probably fossils or some kind of
vegetation samples more like. And then there
was Dorothy Moore the bombshell. I invited
Dorothy to sit next to me even before I
learned her name. It wasnt so much that her
supple body and ample rack, which no doubt
would provide every distraction I needed to
quicken my flight across the Caribbean, mademe eager to ask. It was that I didnt want,
under any circumstances for her to fall into
the playboys trap. Player-hating or not, you
dont allow fine wine to spill on cheap carpet.
So you just dont serve it at this type of event.
The quick move that saw Dorothy seated next
to me on the way to Martinique was a blessing
in more ways than one. As our plane swayed
-

and panned in the sky -seeming to be avoiding
incoming anti-aircraft fire- Dorothy would
bounce literally off of my chest and shoulders,her hair brushing my face over and over all the
way east. Why a womans hair has to smell so
good every time- is a subject of continued
ponder for me. That ponder usually comesafter bathing in the sensation over and over
thoughfirst as I am washed in it the aroma,
and then like a broken record over and over in
my mind till I cant even remember the smell.
Then I start to ponder. What makes a
womans hair have to smell so good?
The playboy regarded me as expected before
sauntering directly towards the casino nearthe top of the hill some 300 feet from the
private airfield shed. He didnt like me
blocking him at all, and I got the sense if he
saw me in a dark alley anytime soon he might
make a play for his gun. I didnt see one
anywhere in his waist as his safari shirt blew
behind him as he walked away. But I was sure
he had one. It just seemed automatic for the
package he wasall 5 feet or so of it.

Dorothy Moore gawked at me with big blue
eyes as she circled the plane from the luggagecompartment.
Im staying at Hotel Veuve I didnt
immediately react and her brain went to work.
My lack of a reply wasnt because I didntrecognise the obvious play for my meat. I was
busy studying the depth and body of her
feathers of blond hair and the salivation
prevented me from speaking. I swallowed.
What are you doing right now?
Moments before burying my thoughts in her
delicious hair I had briefly glanced at my
Bulova. I was an hour or so early for my meet
with Merielle and had to somehow pass thetime.
Well neither of us have much
luggage, she said lowering her gaze past my
package and to the Samsonite in my hand.
You feeling lucky? She was right about the
luggage. And she was referring to the casino a
stones throw from where we stood when she
referenced luck me still ogling her hair and
her my package. I took her bag from her hand.

We can leave these in the coat-check
in the casino. I have an hour or so before my
business. You wanna see how lucky we get?
Dorothy nodded. The scent of her hair hit me
again. It was going to stick with me for a
while.
She had an Ace showing and a 7. I suspected
the blind card was a face-card. That made 18.
It was her turn to get hit. I was holding 2 face-
cards one up one down. I didnt think shed
go for it. Wed been at it for most of an hour
and I was planning to buy her a stiff drink with
her $100.00 after I won. She needed to be put
to bed. All the flirting had taken its toll on us
both. The business I came to town to doshouldnt take more than a few days to sew
up. And I was heavily favouring getting that
business out of the way before complicating
my visit with meat-action. Besides Merielle
still had to weigh in. It was always the same
thing. From the moment youre old enough to
trick your way past the party-bouncer. Once
you get inside, once you lay eyes on the room
full of beautiful women, do you make a play
-

for 2, 10, or a hundred? Or do you sit back
and watch the meat-market, play the
gentleman, and go home with the pony.Lately, Ive been that smart.
Dorothy took the hit. It was a 2. That meant
she had 20. Then she made those blue eyesmeet mine.
Side bet? I grinned and licked my
lips. If I win, she said. I get to have my way
with you. My grin became laughter.
And what if I win?
Well then you get to have your way
with me silly! I couldnt argue. I showed my
hand -20. And she showed her blind an Ace.
She swiped my hundred up. And we crossedto the bar.
Putting Dorothy Moore to bed was kind of like
letting the prize fish off the hook. I dont
welch on bets, but she didnt exactly say when
I was going to have to let her beat my meat. I
figured the scotch she slammed back as I
sipped my Appleton was worth at least a few
hours. I told her to ring front desk and ask for
-

me whenever she wanted to play. And then I
watched her relieve her guns from their
brassiere and peel the slacks from creamythighs. Then I poured her into bed. She kissed
my cheek before her head hit the down pillow.
I kissed hers back and stepped outside to my
hired-car.
The convention Centre, I said. The
driver, 18 or so years old, looked back briefly
before sailing the Bentley around the semi-
circle driveway. On the edge of the driveway
the car came to a sudden stop. And out of
nowhere another car, only slightly less shiny
pulled in behind us. I regarded my .38 seated
in its holster under my blazer. The driver sawthe move but only smiled back at me in the
mirror. And the curbside door swung open -
Merielle Ledue sliding in.
Careful, she said. You might shoot
that thing off. Her thigh grazed mine. It was
a large car. There was plenty of room in the
back. But Merielles presence seemed to take
up most of it. Her hips burst from the split in
the side of the Hot Kiss dress, and the string
-

straps of the front of it barely contained her.
If she was any more of a woman I (might) have
shot my gun off. And when she spoke, mymeat sort of stood up and took notice.
Mr. Willow. Your reputation is you
move quickly. This is what I need. She
leaned into me raising one hand to my chest.There is a very important spectacle fasion in
exactly 2 days. Someone has broken into the
secure dressing rooms and stolen every single
garment. The play of her hand on me as she
spoke, her bosoms rising, alive, jutting forward
like they wanted to jump from her own
garment made me focus on her eyes. I was in
need of relief from this womans unwitting
assault on my every sexual attraction. If mypremonition after speaking to her on the
phone were any more spot on, Id be
convinced I could pass as a psychic. I wanted
to tell her to stop. But I dont think she could.
She wasnt doing anything. It was her body.
This was the culprit. Oh how I wanted to
spank itfor being so bad.
Mr. Willow, she repeated.
Call me Jack. I swallowed. Please!
-
7/31/2019 Periwinkle Pinch
12/24
Jack, we need the periwinkle back. I
nodded.
I have some questions. I had to clear
my throat. You say the dressing rooms were
supposed to be secure.
Of course, she replied. The entire
collection came by way of air-cargo a weekago. Looking into her eyes didnt help me
forget her. It kept my own eyes off her
incredible body, but exposed her soul. That
made me hotter. ..from Paris. I started
closing my eyes more frequently.
Jack! It was to get my attention.
Our designer, Micquel.. he is due in in the
morning. There are fittings and last minute
preparations. She caressed my face in bothher soft palms. I couldnt close my eyes then.
Jack. I need you to get on this immediately.
I nodded. The car still hadnt moved from the
edge of the road in front of the hotel. I only
now noticed the glare of the headlights of the
car behind.
Your driver Toby will take you
anywhere you need to go. I suggest you start
at the Convention Centre. My eyes met
-

13/24
Tobys in the mirror again. She opened her
purse. It contained only a neat envelope
which she removed and slid in the insidepocket of my jacket.
Your retainer. Before removing her
hand she regarded my blix.
Thats a big gun. I hope you wont beneeding to use it. She opened the door and
slid from the seat. When she stood I witness
perfection. The door slammed shut, waking
me.
So where to Jack?
Toby, I said. Open my window. Let
some night air in.
There was nothing out of the ordinary insideor outside the dressing room area on the
lower level of the convention centre. Manny,
the custodian gave me the walk-thru as far as
what to expect on the afternoon of the show.
The models would from one of the 3 dressing
rooms pass final inspection just outside their
respective door. From there they would walk
the short hallway to the stairs leading up the
back of the runway, and after scaling the flight
-
7/31/2019 Periwinkle Pinch

of stairs would emerge to their audience, walk
to the front of the catwalk and then back and
down the stairs. The security Merielle spokeof consists of the guards on watch upstairs at
both of the public entrances to the auditorium
where the show was to be held in 2 days, and
the fact that each of the service entrancessave the one used by everyone related to the
execution of the show were chained shut. The
third service entrance was also guarded and
had the added security of a sign in and out
system that even at night I was made victim
to. Anyone who entered the building since the
missing collection arrived a week earlier would
have had to enter through one of these 3
guarded entrances. The fashion collection about 75 mainly dresses in varying shades of
periwinkle arrived in a sealed cargo container
that now sat empty in a locked storage in the
back of the basement near the dressing
rooms. 75 dresses is a lot of cargo to sneak
past a security guard unnoticed.
It was just past midnight when I finally exited
the auditorium to the car waiting near the
-
7/31/2019 Periwinkle Pinch
15/24
back service entrance. There was nothing in
my studying the detail that suggested the
pinch was executed as part of any kind ofbreak-in. The fact that at any time of the day
or night there was someone, a security guard
on duty, would have prevented any kind of
sneaking around by a stranger. I was sure wewere dealing with an inside job. Manny let me
know his usual hours in the building were 7 am
to 7 pm. Before he left at 7 both front
entrances were locked and those guards
dismissed. That left the 1 guard in back at
night. The guard kept the service door locked
during those hours of the night unless there
was an official delivery. I was going to need to
speak to that guard. He wasnt on duty when Ivisited the auditorium as there was no
expected delivery that night. I asked Manny to
arrange my meeting of the guard. Then,
before having Toby drive away, I watched him
lock the door behind me and head toward his
bicycle.
There were 2 messages waiting when I
entered Hotel Veuve to retire for the night.

Merielle wanted me to meet her at the marina
on the other side of the island at first light.
And Dorothy Moore had attempted to haveme paged 3 times beginning at about 11. I
guess the scotch didnt hold up as well as I had
hoped. Either that or she was really hungry
for late-night meat. I was going to have to getup real early in the morning. I decided to hit
the sack. Dorothy could wait a little while
longer.
The beauty of Fort-De-France is really best
appreciated in the early morning. The sun off
to the east above the island is the thick yellow
or mango flesh. And you can take it in with
eyes only without having to feel it yet morning dew suppressing the heat. Lush
hibiscus plants greet you along the walkways
all over the island and the breeze blowing past
you is something you would expect were you
to accost world-peace. Toby didnt appreciate
having to wake up so early. He has probably
had his fill of the sun and the sea, the hibiscus
and the breeze, and elected to wait behind in
the car after dropping me.

The first 2 speedboats came around the bend
north of the marina well ahead of Merielle. Bythe time she appeared in the haze of morning
sauntering towards me, the splash and hum of
another boat was already in the air. When the
third boat sailed past Merielle its spray rose sohigh in the air the wind carried the thin top
spray to her place, and she surprised me, not
ducking or trying to avoid the spray. She was
close enough for me so I could see the glisten
of the ocean spray on her forehead, shoulders
and collar. It made her more delicious to look
at. The Chemise dress of last night is now a
relaxed Basque. But it still hugged her
perfection, putting it on display. I decided tobe more professional, pushing the image of
her body away. 3 more boats sail by.
Good morning. She was blocking the
sun from the sunglasses covering her eyes.
Buenos dias.
Im sorry to have you get up this early.
Really I wanted you to see the island at its
best.

She isnt a native, but came to the island a
year earlier to study fashion and just never
left. Her birthplace is actually just a few moreislands south in Trinidad. In the light of
morning I was able to make out the lineage
more easily. In the pumps she wore to the
marina she topped off just a few inches belowme and I liked that. The big hair added
another few inches of course but we would
have made perfect dance partners if it ever
came to that. We had been standing on the
edge of the marina watching the racing boats
speed around the marina, each one taking
about 3 minutes to circle the track fully. She
seemed to enjoy the spray of the ocean as it
caressed her face, and I was enjoying lookingat her enjoyment of it. I had gotten to wonder
what Merielles real reasons for inviting me to
the boat races were when she looked up and I
followed her eyes to the advancing parade. It
was an obvious army of fashionistas. And
Merielle first softly regarded my arm on the
rail of the marina before sauntering off to join
her army. The lead of the advance was a small
man whose sunglasses rivalled Merielles in
-

19/24
size. When he saw her approaching, he
quickened his pace leaving his entourage
slightly behind. His and Merielles arm locked
in an embrace before he spun her around back
towards me. From that distance Merielle,
what with the heels, seemed twice his height.
His denim hung loose from his hips, theSaturday t-shirt stopping just below his waist.
They stopped 6 inches in front of me, a whisk
of sea-current almost blowing Micquels funny
hat from his head.
Jack this is Micquel. She motioned
with a display arm. Micquel, Jack. I took his
hand. His grip was firm.
Micquel. Your collection is missing?
He let his eyes answer. Then lowered themand stepped back in line with the rest of his
entourage that had just arrived. Merielle drew
closer to me.
Have you made any progress? I
sensed the question was for Micquels benefit.
It wont be long, I replied. Micquel
raised a glance in my direction, my words it
seemed greeting him with particular interest.
He back-stepped to Merielle and I.
-
7/31/2019 Periwinkle Pinch
20/24
Find my periwinkle Jack! He then
locked arms with an equally diminutive
member of his group and they skipped aheadof the pack and away from Merielle and I. The
sky 50 feet out above the sea was thick with
boat exhaust fumes. The mix of this smell and
Merielles was nice -contrast.I can rent us a boat. My senses
greeted her words with surprise. It will be
nice to boat around the marina in the sun.
She pointed. Well have to stay on the other
side of the marina of course away from the
race. I wrapped an arm around her waist as
answer.
My biggest surprise about skipping across theocean off the coast of Fort-de-France,
Martinique with Merielle on the drivers side
was just that. That she could be this beautiful,
and at the centre of the islands fashion
community, wake in the morning this put
together, and still steer a boat at top speed
across the ocean seemed at odds.
You look confused. The mist of the
ocean spray made her hair fuller.
-
7/31/2019 Periwinkle Pinch
21/24
Me? No.. She chuckled. Dont be
confused. There are eyes and ears
everywhere. I looked to her eyes hoping tomake sense of her words. Jack. I lied. I
didnt get you out of bed this early to go
swimming. You need to know there are forces
that want you to fail. She panned scanningthe surface of the water. And theyre
watching us. She stepped aside and with her
eyes motioned for me to step in front of her.
I had the boat swept for listening
devices. All the noise out here was to allow us
to talk freely. I took the steering wheel and
she stepped in close behind me placing both
her hands over mine. When she leaned in
peace greeted me the moist ocean spraymixing with the smell of her. I inhaled deeply.
Last night after we met, I saw a car
following me. When I got home to my place it
parked outside for hours. I didnt sleep half
the night. I let go of the throttle of the boat.
And it sails almost to a stop as I turned. Her
bosom was pressed against me, our lips
almost touching.
What are you saying?
-

Am scared. And then she kissed me.
