Notice

She took another sip of her wine and looked down at her watch. He was now over an hour late. ” Is this what it will be like when we are married?” The waiter walked by her giving her that look of pity. She had seen it before, she knew what it looked liked. She took the last few sips of her wine before calling the waiter over. She ordered her food to-go.
Once home, she changed and began to eat her food. While eating the phone began to ring; she knew it was him, she let the machine pick it up. “Hey baby, it’s me. Sorry I didn’t make it; I lost track of time. The waiter said you left a little bit ago. I’m a try to stop by, see ya baby.”
She got up and put her food away and headed to her bedroom. She heard him knocking at the door while in bed; she didn’t get up to get the door. A single tear began to run down her cheek, ” I could wait my whole life for you and you wouldn’t even notice.” The phone began to ring again, she closed her eyes and tuned out the bullshit of a message he was leaving on her machine.
