Now That's a Story!

Jacqueline loved the district she lived in. The aroma of the fresh bread made her mouth water. It was hard to keep her girlish figure with the wonderful aroma on these streets; she encountered day after day and within a few blocks of her place. This pizzeria was the worst to ignore. That place was almost irresistible to her. She always wanted to reach out and just touch that door, but she knew if she did she would feel all bloated and icky with guilt 20 minutes later. She reluctantly turns down the next street and steers clear of the red and white curtained shop all the while that aroma drifting further away.

Just getting out of a speed dating event with Tina she felt her nerves were fried. Tina always means well, but really that kind of thing just wasn’t for her. She was proud of herself though. She had gone and that was what her mother had instilled into her, always try new things. You never know until you give it a try. The old give it a try this time fizzled dismally.

One gentleman with dark blue eyes and dark black hair had caught her attention. One that she might have called back, but it was clear she wasn’t what he was looking for. Stunning as he was, he made it clear he was going to keep moving on. He hadn’t left her his number, just a touch on her hand and a quick nice to have met you and he was gone.

Her head was still in a spin, man after man ding and another plopped down in the seat in front of her. All of them were nice looking but none interesting enough for her to call. She was thinking that she wasn’t surprised really. The fact of the matter was love wasn’t in the cards for her yet. She wasn’t going to settle for second best and the real thing hadn’t materialized.

She always had her head up when she walked these streets. She had stunning looks she had been told often enough and very tall 6’5. She had taken self defense courses and could protect herself when necessary. You never knew these days what might be waiting for you around the next corner. Keeping her hand in her purse and with her left hand always with a touch knowing where the maze was she reached the stoop and she was in her door and inside her apartment in a flash.

Tina was already on-line asking her if she had any prospects. What about that one that was tall black and so stunning, you know the one were eyeing across the room!?!

Taking her shoes off and slipping into her favorite chair; she picked up the phone and dialed her number.
