I didn't move fast enough and she looked up and saw me. A smile stretched her cherry red lips and showed a dazzling display of white teeth as she wave... and shouted a greeting."Hey ladykiller," she shouted.I managed a wave. I almost fell off my bike when she opened the passenger door and leaned in to switch off the key and kill the music, causing her tight butt to rise into the air.Ladykiller, that was her nickname for me.
