Member-only story
Lisa walked away after the subtle instruction I had given her. All I needed to do was watch my mystery object.
I had to take my mind off Abba and my mystery object was the perfect distraction.
Abba was going to pay dearly for this, or maybe she wouldn’t. My ego was badly bruised. I mean the signs were there, but she couldn’t even let me down lightly. She went all out to humiliate me. The whole scenario kept playing in my mind while my eyes laid on the new object of my affection.
I wanted to go and sit at the table with her to know her name, to hear her voice, to get properly acquainted. I also hoped she wasn’t seeing anyone. It was a tough wish, because a woman as beautiful as that was definitely going to have admirers.
My phone rang. It was Abba.
My heart skipped a beat.
Was she going to show up?
Did she change her mind?
Was her conscience at work?
She knew she was doing me dirty.
