When I came back from the Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings' concert, I announced to my girlfriend that I now had two women in my life, Sharon and her. Yes, I still had my mistress' scent on me.
That's right, I had left my home that night to go see another gal. My fiancée was powerless to convince me otherwise. Wearing my best suit, flowers in one hand, I was ready to charm another lady. Like the low down dog that I am, nothing was going to stop me. I'm not proud to admit it but Sharon and I did end up having an intimate moment.
It just took one or two songs before our eyes locked. That was it. This is when I pulled out my secret weapon, a fresh bouquet of flowers. Clearly not expecting it, a smile appeared on her face. She immediately pointed her index finger at me and gave me the "come here you little rascal" sign. It took but one leap to join her on stage.

The roles were now reversed. She was working her magic on me! I was defenseless. I was now in her playpen. I had almost forgotten the more than 850 adoring fans right in front of us. I felt like we were alone in the world. Engaged in a game of cat and mouse, I already knew I was going to lose. Her voice had started mesmerizing me. Trying to resist her was pointless and a waste of energy. The band, her sly accomplices, fueled the fire by providing the soundtrack to our blossoming romance.
This is when we shared OUR moment. She had reached into my soul and I had succumbed to her feminine wilds...

Just like Billy Paul sang in his great 1972 soul classic:
"Me and Mrs. Jones
We got a thing goin'on
We both know that it's wrong
But it's much too strong
To let it go now
We gotta be extra careful
That do we don't build our hopes up too high
Because she's got her own obligations
And so, and so, do I
Me and Mrs. Jones
We got a thing goin'on
We both know that it's wrong
But it's much too strong
To let it go now"
