A Glass of Wine

Glass of wine & a softly dimmed candlelight, calm R&B music playing in the background.A woman patiencely waiting for the arrival of her boyfriend. She sits there quietly in her red backless dress, high heels & hair straighted. The waiter approaches the pretty redhead & asked her would she want more wine & she quickly denies him as she whispers to herself, “He’ll be here. He loves me.” She looks at her watch again. “7:53” She taps her finger tips against the white wood table. “He is almost a hour late, what is going on with him? “7:55. Goodness, where is he?” A unfamiliar woman walked up to the redhead & asked her to use the empty chair. The redhead who goes by Rae, quickly denied the woman.”Jeff?” she whispered. “No madame, but a man did send you these dozen of roses.” Rae looked up to see a bouquet of pinks,yellows and red roses. The waiter placed them in the middle of the table. Rae looked out of the window to see the misty weather and Jeff run across the street. She got so excited! “I knew he would come!”
