SO, I CAUGHT THE BOUQUET
“Stop laughing, it’s not funny . . .” Eileen tells her best friend over the phone that lives across the street, as the two of them are looking out their bedroom windows in awe of what is going on in the street outside. It seems upwards of over a dozen people showed up, mostly men, but some women to court Eileen, and now they are all out there arguing and fighting with each other, total pandemonium, the cops are on their way, and no doubt some reporters might even show up for this one. “I don’t know how I get myself into these messes.” “Oh, I know how you got into this one” responds her best friend. And that’s when Eileen tuned out the chaos and thought back to that single moment that sparked the events that led to today. It seemed like forever ago but in reality it was just 2 weeks, Eileen was attending a wedding one of her friends at work was having, and it was there that all this nonsense started, you see Eileen caught the wedding bouquet and when she did it put in motion events that got out of control from the very get go and escalated to what we see here today. Immediately upon catching the darn thing everyone was patting her on the back and congratulating her, it’s as if she had actually done something to receive merit, but no all she did was catch some flowers, which according to her she never really caught they just happened to land in her lap. The rest of that evening she had to endure listening to people tell her not to feel bad, that one day she would meet the right man, that it’s ok to be single and stuff of that nature, but rest assured they always ended the conversation with trying to pawn off a phone number of a friend they know or cousin who they think would be perfect for her. By the end of the night she had so many dates lined up as most of these people were from work and how could she say no, she just started her job and did not want to upset anyone, after all they were all only trying to help in their own way. And who knows, she might even just meet the person of her dreams. As the days past her phone would ring off the hook and her answering machine was over full with messages from suiters and courters of all types. At this point Eileen thought she might be getting a little in over her head but what could she do, so she started to date them one by one to get to know them and to see if she might meet a person of interest. She had breakfast dates, then lunch dates, then dinner dates, then dancing dates, for days on end and all with different people. The real problem was none of them clicked, every date felt forced and unnatural, may be she thought because she rushed so many in such a short time, but in reality she knew that none of the people she met were the “one”. The only problem was none of them wanted to hear that, they all swore she just needed to spend more time with just them and stop seeing everyone else. What they didn’t understand is that most of them just really had nothing in common with her, and Eileen wants to be with someone that shares her same interest, may be not all of them, but at least one or two. The people she was meeting were just heading in the wrong direction for the life path she wanted to follow, she could clearly see that and she had a hard time figuring out why the rest could not. It’s almost like they never really listened to anything she said and they were not interested in learning anything more about her, they just wanted a trophy piece they could walk around with and show off. Eileen is too smart for that and has her future all planned out, now she just needs to find the right individual she can share it with. But seriously when all this started she wasn’t even looking for a relationship, she was happy living the life she had, but everyone else had to meddle because they somehow felt sorry for her being single and before you knew it she had more dates than she could fit into her schedule. She just wanted it all to go away and end, this was definitely not how she pictured a romantic courtship going. Then Eileen gets an idea. |

LAST DAY OF SCHOOL
Lucy was very excited, today was the last day of school before summer break. The year was rough on her as it was her first year at this school. At first she had problems making friends, but after the first semester she settled in and had become close friends with several other people, none of them were in any of her classes, so she would meet them between classes or they would hang out at lunch together. One of her new friends was a cute guy, he liked math a lot but that didn’t bother her too much, he was still kind of funny in his own little way and she adored that. She was super excited about today because she had told herself all year that if this guy did not ask her out, she would ask him out on the last day of school, that way if he rejected her she would not be embarrassed among her peers and she would have all summer for it to blow over before school starts again next year. So this morning she was not only super excited but she was also very nervous, you see Lucy is old school and believes it’s the man’s job to court a lady, not the other way around, but these are modern times and she really liked this guy. As she got ready for school she realized she had one slight problem, since it is the last day of school, and if he does say yes, what exactly is he saying yes too. After all it’s not like shes giving him a ring to wear so everyone can see they are together in school as a status symbol, she could ask him out to dinner, but that kind of sounds stuffy and boring, not to mention she does not want to eat around him on a first date as her nerves might make for a bad ending in the restroom, besides when she is nervous she never has an appetite, she was thinking about a movie, but then they would just be sitting in the dark not really talking or getting to know one another. Lucy was stumped, she knew she was going to ask him out, but she had no clue what she wanted to do, she even thought she would leave that up to him, then quickly remembered how she hates it when guys do that to her. Either way, she will have to figure it out as she goes because if she does not leave now she will be late and she does not want to miss a minute of the last day. Lucy meets up with a couple of the female friends she has made, they meet near the football field before school starts as there will be a small fair there that day in honor of the last day of school. Lucy and her friends want to check it out before everyone else shows up and crowds the place. “So, have you figured out how to ask him out” asks one of her friends. “No, and worse than that I haven’t figured out what we should do on our date.” “Well if you don’t do it today you will regret it for the next three months.” “I know, I know, I just don’t know what to do.” At that moment her cute guy friend walks up behind her. “Oh, don’t know what to do about what?” Her female friends giggle and magically all of a sudden they have somewhere else they need to be, leaving Lucy alone with her prey. “Oh nothing” she responds, “When I figure it all out I’ll tell you.” “Figure what all out, maybe if you fill me in I can help you figure it out.” Oh the irony, if he only knew how true that was, so she decides to tell him, just not the detail part where it involves him and the dating thing, she tells him she has a dilemma for over the summer, that with all the time she now had she didn’t know what to do with it all, this obviously opens up the door for him to offer suggestions on things she could do and if coming from him then he probably has an interest in it, so in a way she was trying to pick his brain without him knowing it. Only, she’s too smart for her own good and never expected the answer she got. |

ONCE UPON A RED LIGHT
“Another hot scorching day here in the city by the bay, and the big game comes down to tonight with both teams poised against one another, I don’t know about you but my money is on the striped team, stripes always win. Now back to you sky traffic.” “Thanx ground zero we are high in the sky with our eye on the prize and their seems to be a buildup east of the river, a small back up due to a broken down water truck, back to you ground zero.” Thanks Eye in the Sky this is Radio YNF your # 1 source for . . . “Not another red light” screeched Ivonne while she slams on the brakes . . . “I am already late as it is” “What else could go wrong?” And as fate would have it, she really should not of asked, as she is now about to receive WHAM!!! Glass Shatters, world spins And all goes dark . . . “O.K. you can open your eyes now, isn’t it wondrous?” Ivonne slowly opens her eyes . . . “I, I, I can’t believe this I must be dreaming” What she saw truly put her in a state of shock and disbelief “Doctor!” yells the person standing beside her, “Doctor!” Just then a medical doctor and two nurses come rushing in, “we saw a spike on her monitors and heard your call. What is the situation?” “She is awake” said the gentleman “Finally” said the doctor “You had us scared this time, you were out a little longer than usual” Ivonne’s head fills with chaos as she is trying to figure out what is going on, then she spontaneously blurts out . . . “What is going on here and who are all you people” The Doctor makes eye contact with the nurses and sends them out of the private hospital room. “Ivonne, we know how upsetting and troubling this may be so I will tell you directly, 33 years ago you were involved in a car accident on your way to work, you were rushed to the hospital where you remained in a coma for 3 months. The gentleman responsible for the accident is here with us now and the two of you have been happily married now for over 30 years” “This is not possible” replies Ivonne Just then a young woman comes bursting into the room, “Mom, I here mom has awaken.” All this is too much for Ivonne to take in at once and she passes out. The Doctor assures everyone it is just do to fatigue and not a relapse. After about an hour Ivonne wakes up, and sees a strange man that is supposed to be her husband asleep in a chair sitting next to her. She looks around the room and says . . . “33 years, that would explain why everything looks so futuristic.” She then reaches over and rubs the man on the arm, “Hey you, wake up” As his eyes begin to open Ivonne without hesitation asks him to bring her a mirror, but to her surprise he also did not hesitate and reached in his coat pocket and pulled out a mirror and handed it to Ivonne “How did you know I was going to ask you for that?” “Baby, because after you awakened from the coma you would experience these black outs, at first they happened once or so a month, then once every six months, finally it got down to where your last one was a decade ago, not sure what brings them on, but one thing that always stays the same is when you awaken you have no memory past the day of the accident” “Don’t call me baby, ugh I can’t believe how old I look” “Oh and who was that young woman that walked in earlier, |

LOVE HURTS
May 2017, Tatiana receives shocking news about her Fiance that she just can’t believe is true. After several sleepless nights debating with herself over the validity of this new information she has received regarding her soon to be husband, she decides to find out if what she has heard is true or not, but in order to do this she will need to recruit some help from some unlikely sources, her fiance’s best friends, and she needs to do this without their knowledge, otherwise she will never discover the truth. Over the course of the next couple of days she puts her plan in motion, one by one, she enlists the help of her significant other’s friends without them even knowing, . . . so far so good, but for her plan to truly work she needs the help of someone else, some one of the female persuasion and preferably someone not from the inner circle of friends as she needs a person that no one has met yet. As luck would have it Tatiana befriends a young woman that works nights at a restaurant, she is close to her age and very attractive, but more importantly very articulate and intelligent. This quality of brains and beauty convinces Tatiana that her new friend would be perfect for the job. There is only one catch, Tatiana needs this woman to meet with her fiance without it seeming like a set up or prank, as her fiance sticks mainly to his close friends within his circle. Tatiana and her new friend hammer out the details and within a week decide to put their plan in motion to see if Tatiana can learn the truth about her man. Thursday night is poker night and Tatiana’s fiance as well as his close friends that she has helping her without them knowing it will all be there. Tatiana initiates her plan by calling her fiance’s friend while they are all playing poker to inform them that she is sending over some pizzas as a token of openness to the “guy poker night thing” and that there will be no resentment even after the wedding. However two things just got put into play here and her plan is executing itself quite nicely. The first is her soon to be hubby is curious as to why Tatiana called his buddy to inform them about the pizzas and not him, after all it is his friend, not really hers and it just seems odd that she would do such a thing. The second is the pizza delivery person is Tatiana’s new friend from the Italian restaurant. The rest of the plan is left in the hands of everyone else even though they do not even know they are a part of it, and the hardest part at this time for Tatiana is waiting for the outcome. For Tatiana every minute that went by seemed like an eternity, how much could her heart take. The “not knowing” is the worst part of all. |
