Crystalline Cool (18)

   
   "Crystalline Cool (18)"
   
   Duncan got aboard his oxidized El Camino, Roadkill jumping into the truck section of the counterpoised automobile, and the young man piloted his way into the pastoral valley of it all, seeking out Aimee for honest conversation.  Upon arriving at her trailer park, he put the vehicle in park, cranked her off, and Roadkill howled announcement.  Almost immediately, Aimee exited her simple trailer, adorned in jeans, tennis shoes, and a lovely sweater that complimented her cascading blonde and emerald-green eyes.  They shined upon Duncan as he opened the El Camino's door and sauntered towards her lovely direction--they embraced, and she smelled of roses and internal beauty.
   Next, he became very direct, standing back and informing her:  "Aimee, I don't know if I'm ready for a carnal relationship."
   Aimee laughed with mere mirth and no wicked enchantment, just a simple, loving laugh, letting Duncan know that she adored him; then, she blurted:  "You're so much like the character Shaggy from Scooby-Doo--you and that dog of yours with the funky name."
   Duncan, clumsy in speaking, retorted:  "But I don't have a goatee."
   Aimee said:  "You could grow one."
   Duncan back with:  "I'm half Apache.  I'm not good at growing facial hair."
   Aimee laughed, hugged him to her chest, giggling the words:  "Oh Duncan, how I love your youthful spirit.  You are such a child, and it is a wondrous thing."
   Duncan blushed, and Roadkill gave a groovy howl.
