By the time she noticed him staring at her, she had already done three stupid things, and was about to do a fourth.
1. She had picked her itchy left nostril.
2. She had vigorously scratched an unmentionable spot.
3. She had shifted her too-tight g-string panties back into place.
Just prior to adjusting her ample bosom, its creamy skin puffed up and over the top of her scoop-neck ‘T’ just like baked, over-filled muffins, she caught his eye, her mind suddenly pondering how on earth she was going to explain to the incredible and sexy Professor Kent what a nice, educated girl like herself was doing working at a place like Hooters, her face warming, then burning, into what she could only imagine was a violent shade of scarlet.

This “Five Sentence Fiction” piece was based on Lillie McFerrin’s prompt: scarlet
🙂 Perfect use of the prompt. I don’t think anyone else expressed it as embarrassment. This is clever, cute and funny. Good job, Britton!
Jayne–ever the encourager! Thank you, friend.
Some lovely imagery in this piece, I very definitely got a vivid picture here. 🙂
I could see her too. I think my cheeks turned scarlet as well!
Britton- great use of the prompt word and i hope that never happens to me!
Ahhhh, so you have a thing for a Professor Kent as well? Hmmmmm…
Vanessa need explain nothing. Professor Kent didn’t walk into Hooters hoping to give a lecture. More than one person lives inside each of them, and they have made the happy discovery that they share two of them. No scarlet faces, but smiles all around.
I like this perspective very much!
I love this perspective as well! Thanks for that Peter : )
Oh, mortification of a recognizable kind . . . .Then there’s the underlying touch of humor, which also brings a flush to the face. Of course, the sexy professor may have some explaining himself to do.
I’m sure he will say that they make the best burger in town–that he had an undeniable craving–an itch that HE had to scratch as well!
Hey Britt! Wowsers, this is FICTION, right? ;> Nicely done, ma’am! Indigo
How cool of you to come by. I am behind on reading you, and I’m missing it!!
Wow, Britton, really nice! I felt mortified for her, though like what the others said, she didn’t have to be.
I am so enlightened by this perspective…as it, sadly, did not occur to me.
One word – BUSTED! Pity it was the sexy prof. who did the busting… Sometimes a girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do…
Great use of the prompt, Britton!
If I know her, she will take full advantage of the situation!
nice! loved the build-up in this. 🙂
Thank you, Joanna. I re-worked it a couple of times!
You caught me picking at my nose as I read this. I am so embarrassed…
Wonderful job. I enjoyed it!
I promise not to judge you for that! Thank younfornstopping by for a pick….um, a read!
I love this! What a creative use of the prompt.
Thank you Gina!
Loved her point of view…but I’d love to know what he was thinking too… As with most of your writing, Britton, so visual and easy to empathise with (not that I’ve ever worked in ‘Hooters’)! Lovely!
Hmmmm, perhaps the next prompt will lend us clarification on his thoughts…
Really enjoyed this Britt – good naughty fun!
Everyone needs a good romp on the wild side now and again!
Delightful! Perfect name for a scarlet-faced picker/scratcher/adjuster. I like this Five Second Prompt idea.
Oh it is so fun. I highly recommend jumping in!
This made me smile!!! Love this use of the word 🙂
Thanks, Lillie. It made me smile as well!
Who is this Professor Kent? I want to know more 😉 Great take on the prompt, much enjoyed 🙂
Thank you Louise. Perhaps Professor Kent will make another appearance!
I only know ‘Hooters’ from one of Adam Sandler’s films but I’m wondering why she feels so shamed when it is he who has walked in in the first place and should explain himself? We all do things to make ends meet and hopefully this highly intelligent sexy man will undertsand this. Lovely piece which did make me chuckle. xx
It’s the kind of discomfort one feels when stepping into shoes that don’t fit and are not your style. No one wants to be seen at these unfortunate moments. Perhaps, in this case, it’s more like being caught in your underwear!
